[gentoo-user] nvidia driver and genkernel above 4.9 issues

Hi All, I have a fresh gentoo install and it works fine with 4.9 kernel, nvidia video card does its job like a charm. However, I compiled a 4.15.3 kernel with the same setup, xorg-drivers recompiled, nvidia-drivers recompiled, eselect kernel set shows to the new kernel and I have strange

[gentoo-user] How to test package install?

I'm trying to test my package by running "ebuild /path/to/pkg.ebuild install". Naturally (for me) I do this as an unprivileged user, not as root. It fails because at least some steps such as dobin need to give away ownership of the files being installed. I tried to run the whole thing including

[gentoo-user] Is ABI a portage variable?

I am trying to package software whose build process (autotools based) depends on a variable "ABI" to determine (on x86 and amd64 arch at least) whether to build as 64 bit or 32 bit. If it is not set externally, the configure script sets it by inspecting the native pointer size of the C compiler,

[gentoo-user] BFQ scheduler ... undefined symbol while shutdown ?

Hi, I am using a good ole' harddisc with some rotating metal plates... ;) To get more throughput I had set CONFIG_IOSCHED_BFQ / BFQ scheduler in the kernel sources of 4.15.1 /.2 /.3 and while the kernel was running anything seems to be fine. Then while the box was shutting down the kernel, the

[gentoo-user] Trouble using package.provided

I have never needed package.provided before so am probably doing it wrong. There are know bugs I am encountering with www-client/chromium-64.0.3282.140 and net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.4.11-r200 Since each takes a while to build before failing, I would like to stop trying until there is progress on the
