You didn't write what model, hard to help you then.


It's a LaserJet Pro M453-4.

When I was shopping for it, there was a $350 model with wireless, and a 
$450 model without wireless, I was like OMG, i DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT 
WIRELESS??? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!


Hopefully that $100 will send the message that I REALLY don't want 
wireless in my printer.


Apparently there is a stack of about twenty baroque, fiddly, obscure, 
and broken demons and libraries that all must work together perfectly to 
get the darn thing to work. Each of those packages are advertised as 
being the epitome of convenience and plug-and-play perfection except 
they don't work, at all...  It's well past the point of being pointful 
to mess with it. Even if I got it working today, It would be broken 
tomorrow in such a way that I'd have no hope of diagnosing or fixing it. =|

[gentoo-user] The hopeless futility of printing.

2024-01-28 Thread Alan Grimes
I spent $450 for the most beautifulest printer ever made. Absolutely 
suprimo HP laser jet network printer.


I even have a test page from linux to prove that it did work, once...

After going through unholy hell, with help from this list, I got it to 
print a second time. Naturally, when I went back to print something on 
it again, it doesn't work anymore. I have no idea why. None of the 
fiddly button is in the CUPS web interface do anything useful.  My 
windows machine has no problem with it. I would ask for help agin but 
there's no goddamn point. The damn thing is just too hopelessly foobar 
that there's no point expending any more effort on it. If anyone asked 
me I'd suggest they get a bargain barrel windows machine because that's 
the only way you will ever be able to print stuff out exactly when you 
need stuff printed out. =|

Re: [gentoo-user] Unable to locate printer

2024-01-28 Thread Alan Grimes
Don't bother, printing always stops working the day after you get it set 
up on linux. It's easier to ssh int your linux machine from your windows 
machine and then print than it is to get linux to print in any useful 
way. =|

I'm puzzled as printers were working last week without any problems.
I did not do any update or modification to the system but all of a 
sudden

they stop working "Unable to locate printer"
The solution was to change printer setting:

lpd://BRN30055C898DF9/BINARY_P1
lpd://brother-5370/BINARY_P1

with:
lpd://printer-IP-address/BINARY_P1
lpd://printer-IP-address/BINARY_P1

How to set  Avahi-daemon to start automatically deleted printer?


I don't think avahi is needed unless you are printing from different 
temporary

clients and you want the printers to be automatically discovered on the
network.  If this is not your use case, you could try something like 
this:


lpadmin -p 3170-color -E -v ipp:///BINARY_P1 -m 
everywhere


Which will use the CUPS driverless method:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Driverless_printing


These instruction on Gengoo Driveless printing are not clear.
I tried to follow this example and run:

lpadmin -p foobar -E -v ipp://10.0.0.106/ipp -m everywhere

did not create file: foobar.ppd in /etc/cups/ppd/

ls -al /etc/cups/ppd/
-rw-r- 1 root lp   26945 Nov 30  2020 3170-color.ppd

-rw-r- 1 root lp   16476 Apr  7  2022 L6200.ppd.O

But it did create foobar local raw printer name foobar, and when I 
tried to print to it, it spit out strange characters.


I noticed you substitute after /ipp with 
/BINARY_P1

This is not very clear in Gentoo Documentation

Trying it:
lpadmin -p 3170-color2 -E -v ipp://10.0.0.105/BINARY_P1 -m everywhere

It did not create any file name: 3170-color2.ppd ; but it did create 
entry in printer entry  3170-color2 - local raw printer

and printing to it works OK.  Thank you!

Can you explain the  /ipp vs. /BINARY_P1

[gentoo-user] The Snowball effect.

2023-06-20 Thread Alan Grimes
In my panic to try to fix my keyboard layout, I did something absolutely 
stupid, I tried to update my machine. While this is a questionable thing 
to do on the best of days, it should definitely not be attempted when 
things are already going south.


Now i've been having serious problems with Steam for the last month. And 
I've been updating both steam and the machine in desperate hopes of 
curing steam problems but now it looks like my machine is bricked. =\


I knew that linux headers 6.3 had been installed a while back and I was 
running kernel 6.2.  So I was rebooting to bring in kernel 6.3 so that 
the versions would match up and, hopefully that would stabilize the 
machine. -- Then my keyboard issues hit...


I tried to update to cure the keyboard issues.


Ohboy... Things just took a nosedive from there.

First, sandbox started denying ALL file open requests, (even /dev/null)  
why?    because. That's why. So nothing could even be unpacked and I 
started getting these bizzarely eloquent and verbose error messages 
blaming bugs that clearly had no relationship to what was happening.


I started bitching about this on gentoo bugzilla. A few mee tooo!! posts 
were added to the bug thread but those were muted. The bug was 
languishing...


I needed a fix to THAT bug so I tried to sync again.

Somehow libcrypto-1.1 and libssl-1.1 had decided to go awol so basically 
everything on the system ground to a halt... Still limited to typing 
Qwerty things were getting very bad...


I downloaded a Stage3 and found ark couldn't work because no libcrypto, 
so I had to manually extract that and obtain temporary examples of those 
files... So I'm slowly trying to crawl out of that hole.


Right now I'm trying to update packages with sandboxing forcibly 
disabled and things are failing in this beautifully eloquent way:

having extreme trouble typing this, haven't had to type qwerty in 
fifteen years, keyboard mapping I need went poof during recent update, 
rebooted for kernel 6.3,


X11 is NOT recording logs to /var/log since last year.  Console seemed 
to be barfing about not knowing what a dvorak is even though it is the 
only other ISO standard keyboard mapping. No way to access console barf 
from within X11, no idea where logs are if they exist.


here are my configs,  2010 version has:

Since that was too simple and made too much sense, they had to make it 
uglier...

I haven't been able to run steam on my machine for about 2 weeks now. No 
idea what the cause is, reported to Valve's Github page. Current symptom 
is that window opens but driving thread stalls out or ??? and UI 
freezes, needs to be closed from console. First symptoms appeared after 
a game crash and were not cured by a cold boot.

[gentoo-user] chromium and dbus...

2023-04-28 Thread Alan Grimes

It looks like chromium has no freakin idea how to use dbus...

A decenently good OS would provide an IPC mechanism and little else. =| 
So basically this is just a hack-layer to get around the inherent fact 
that linux is garbage.


Dbus is in my runlevels and shows no errors when I poke it with the 
script in /etc/init.d



I've been limping along on Konqueror and it is generating completely

[gentoo-user] Gcc 13.1 and chromium

2023-04-27 Thread Alan Grimes
I rebuilt my system on gcc 13.1. I think the compiler is good but it 
exposed some bugs in a handful of packages, these are:


tortoise /var/tmp/portage # tree -L 2
.
├── app-editors
│   └── scite-5.3.5
├── media-libs
│   ├── liblo-0.31
│   └── nas-1.9.5
└── media-sound
    └── audacity-3.2.5

8 directories, 0 files
tortoise /var/tmp/portage #

I trust these will be patched and upstream will be notified, hardly 
worth commenting actually.


Chromium still shows the same error pattern but generated crashes at a 
slower rate than previously, the result is that I was able to collect 
error messages from the very beginning of the run:

How are you starting chromium?


I always start it from the console with the command "chromium". I have 
never used it any other way.




Have you tried starting it from a command line to see if it prints any usefull

Unfortunately since any number of libraries may have been loaded into

[gentoo-user] Chromium still doesn't work.

2023-04-23 Thread Alan Grimes
A new build of chromium came down today, no change in behavior. (High 
frequency error 11's with blank config, can't even display about:blank ) 
It must be some kind of dependency conflict but I don't seem to have any 
way to diagnose it deeper.


I will be writing these posts daily until the problem is solved at this 
point. =|

[gentoo-user] Chromium user files

2023-04-22 Thread Alan Grimes
AFAIK, chromium uses ~/settings/chromium  There's a lot of stuff in 
there so I don't suspect any other directories.


I ask this because even against a BLANK config directory, the damn thing 
still emits crash dumps at a rate of hundreds a second, here is a 
sample... =\

Have you tried as a different user, or with --user-data-dir pointing to
an empty directory, to ignore all your current configurations. It may be
an extension causing this, a core problem with chromium is likely to have
gained attention very quickly.


I tried --user-data-dir, I guess the syntax is non-obvious, it did not 
appear to do anything, I gave it ~/temp/chromium as a parameter.


I deleted the preferences file and tried to open settings, this is what 
happens for __ALL__ pages including about:blank.


HA!  just had the idea of taking my .config/chromium directory and 
renaming it to chromium.old, damn thing still crashed with a blank 
config directory.


I also deleted a bunch of stuff that looked like it could be an 
extension or thing that could cause problems...


With only one tab open, the rate at which it created dump files 
increased to about 1,500 in the space of time it took to create this 
screenshot.


I'm baffled as to how profoundly broken this appears to be, I mean if I 
were hired to write code for somenoe (which is something that will never 
happen but I can dream can't I?) I would do sanity checks, I'd make sure 
that it was always possible to trace effects back to causes... I'd say 
to myself this is production code so therefore I'd front-load my code 
path with sanity checks so that I would know for certain that all of my 
pre-conditions are satisfied before moving forward.


Look at how smug this error message is anyway, it assumes that the 
problem is external to chromium and it basically ammounts to "jiggle the 
handle, it will work". Well, no it is not working and I am put in the 
position where I need to diagnose WHY it doesn't work and the "learn 
more button" is either errored out itself or is circular with this page. 
How do I even read the .dmp files it spews out anyway? is there actually 
any useful information in them?


Furthermore, lets assume the most junked up crufty directory that has 
been in use since I first installed chromium (which is basically the 
case at hand but well...) Now you have done ??? that breaks this badly 
given an old working config from a fairly recent version. 1. HOW IN 
GOD'S NAME DID YOU EVEN BREAK IT THIS BAD EVEN IF YOU TRIED???  2. Why 
isn't there basic filtering for known classes of things in old configs 
that are not kosher anymore. 3. WHY IN GOD'S NAME IS YOUR SOFTWARE THIS 
FRAGILE WRT THINGS THAT COULD BE IN THE USER'S HOME DIRECTORY

[gentoo-user] Another week without chromium.

2023-04-21 Thread Alan Grimes
I've mostly been living on my *cough* windows gaming machine because 
chromium STILL spams "Error 11" in all tabs. A 30 second test dumped 
bout 415 crash dumps to the log folder. =\


Has ANYONE gotten a handle on this error yet? Any idea what package 
causes it? Chromium seems very self-contained... Is it some funky 
interraction with this kernel version? That hardly seems plausible... =\

Looks like upstream noticed chromium was segfaulting so they took it off

[gentoo-user] Somebody deserves a medal...

2023-04-10 Thread Alan Grimes

Some hero fixed Ruby, all good atm.

Chromium still absolutely b0rk3d. All tabs spew crash dumps to disk at 
extremely high frequency, no functionality. "Error 11" not exactly same 
as signal 11, but very similar.


Seamonkey works fine for e-mail and non-multimedia pages; any multimedia 
-> segfault.

[gentoo-user] Logic?

2023-04-06 Thread Alan Grimes
1. My system was basically working last time I updated it several months 
ago.


2. Now both of my main web browsers are severely if not utterly foobar.

3. It required effort to change the system from the first state to the 
second...


-> how much effort did it it take? =\


That said, the situation here was very stratge. I was looking for a 
chance to insert some down time for the system to swap out the water 
block on the CPU. I had gone out shopping and when I returned Chromium 
had suddenly stopped working for reasons I can't fathom. Ok, so I took 
the machine down and did the maintenance.


When I brought it back up, chromium was still foobar and I'm like WTF...

Apparently it inserted trillions of crash reports in its log directory 
and rm -rf'ing the crash reports alone is taking a very long time. (HDD 
on that volume...)


On the build side, my pain list is as follows:

1. I've purged all obsolete packages from the system except for kernel 
5.19 which I'm holding as a backup.


2. Everything looks like it compiles normally except for RUBY which is 
utterly broken.


3. Seamonkey crashes on __ANY__ video page, esp youtube but basically 
all of them, simple signal 11 segfault, no further messages.


##

4. Chromium segfaults on ALL WEBPAGES, The window comes up with all tabs 
but all of them are, again, segfaults.  about: blank -> SEGFAULT,   
settings -> SEGFAULT


I just rebuilt chromium, NO IMPROVMENT.

Now building emptytree world again

[gentoo-user] RUBY?!?!?!?

2023-04-03 Thread Alan Grimes
Gah, the water block on my threadripper is clogged again. =\  Just 
ordered a fresh one, will try to clean the current one and keep it as a 
spare.



I had been coasting for about 6 months but a power dip reset the machine 
so I'm updating.


I had a nightmare of a time getting things to the point where I was 
getting any updating done at all, it fought me on every step. (was on 
kernel 5.9), I can't allow the linux_headers to get too far from the 
actual kernel so I had to upgrade to 6.2 although I have no idea what is 
supposed to be improved by 6.2


Right now the biggest roadblock is rubygems.

I have cleared the decks and wiped ALL dev-ruby packages off the system. 
Obviously, "Ruby" is set in my make.conf but this setting is not seen 
from the make script and the thing wastes my time...


IS THERE EVEN A WORKAROUND FOR THIS OR IS IT JUST BROKEN???

### make.conf

So I literally have not touched this crap since 2015... Ideally the new card 
will just boot up but
then I am using DVI for one of my monitors here and will need to find an 
adaptor in my junk pile
before doing this... (currently only using one such adaptor...)

If you're going to try to dig all the way to the bottom first then 
--ignore-world and --ignore-built-slot-operator-deps can be helpful for forcing

things may cease to function during the intermediate stages.

If those are not sufficiently strong, then you can climb into the package repo 
and start issuing ebuild commands yourself and it will do what it's told 
without bothering about checking dependencies at all.  Make sure you know what 
you're doing...  Obviously...

But seriously, try disabling any overlays first if at all possible.  It's quite 
common for those to lag behind the main repo and turn things into a tangled 
mess.


At this point the jackhammers have gone silent and I'm left with the 
issue I had before:

I then checked my overlays, and it turns out I had an outrageously 
bloated number of layers installed:


tortoise ~ # layman -l

 * poly-c    [Rsync ] 
(rsync://rsync.gentoofan.org/poly-c )
 * wichtounet    [Git   ] 
(https://github.com/wichtounet/wichtounet-overlay.git )


tortoise ~ #
#

I think one of those was because mainline had stopped maintaining 
seamnokey and I needed it maintained. No idea what I was smoking when I 
applied the other or even which is which. In all likelyhood I had a 
problem and applying that overlay solved it and because I didn't have a 
problem after solving said problem, I forgot about it and can't really 
say what or even when it was I had that problem. All I have now is this 
lingering sense that touching those overlays will result in misery and 
suffering so it's best not to even look up how to remove either of them.


eclan still shows a large number of outdated packages on the system so 
there is definitely lots of updating to work if I can get emerge out of 
its current hissy-fit.

I would suggest a different tool than a jackhammer to fix the problems.


Basic assumption: Problems are caused by outdated packages.
Underlying problem: In order to break a log-jam it is necessary to purge 
outdated packages.
Facts on the ground: The only way to make ANY progress in updating 
outdated packages is to jackhammer the hell out of all packages in hopes 
that some of them might sucessfully update which will, hopefully either:


A. allow other packages to sucessfully update
B. Expose something that can be fixed.

Once the logjam is broken, the system is then --emptytree world'ed and 
declared healthy... Expected failure rate is on the order of 0.3% of 
hopefully unimportant packages.


It is known that the KDE group of packages has incomplete dependency 
graph because it is hopelessly convoluted, and it always causes problems 
and the only way to break through it is the jackhammer approach.


LLVM and friends also fails to update when updating within a single slot 
and this is VERY annoying...


What causes me to post to the list is when I get failures that prevent 
me from even beginning to jackhammer the system.

Is there a repository and walkthru for installing this?

Am I really the world's unluckiest gentoo user or was the pooch really
screwed on this issue?

[gentoo-user] Libffi and total anihilation.

2021-08-20 Thread Alan Grimes
Way to go guys!

I mindlessly fired off an update after like 6 months this morning and
forgot about it and, this evening, realized I had managed to utterly
break python, and by extension emerge. It looks like it was meaning to
shoot itself in the foot from the beginning but it ended up using a
tactical nuclear warhead, guess it really really wanted to get the job
done...

...

What can I say, guys. I'm in awe... This is truly awe inspiring how
after all these years you keep coming up with new and more spectacular
ways to screw up the system...

I tried to bullshit my way around the version block but it actually does
a version query on the library and refuses to run on version 8
regardless of what the file is called.

[gentoo-user] any news on chromium + Glibc?

2021-06-07 Thread Alan Grimes
Chromium is still broken here, all tabs blank after MORE THAN A MONTH...

It seems they're trying to fix it because the rate of version bumps of
Chromium has decreased from several times a minute to maybe one every
two weeks indicating that upstream is having significant issues. I've
been updating weekly on Thursdays to check for a working version. =\

Does anyone else know anything about what's going on?

It is possible to force-install Chromium 91, symptoms are the windows
open but all tabs are blank, no error messages anywhere, just a massive

quoted the actual log you would be stunned by how little it actually
said, besides ordinary compiler warnings...

Chromium now cannot render web pages. It's throwing signal 6 abort

2021-04-22 Thread Alan Grimes
A

I have to wait during boot while DHCP tries to bring up eth0  (cable is
plugged into eth1) and then manually turn off eth0 and turn on eth1 each
time, can't find where this behavior is configured, /etc is a MAZE


B.

Everery. Single. Time. I have to run pavucontrol imediately after
launching X11 and force select the working sound config, it used to
always work but on this motherboard it refuses to save this working
setting and forces me to manually do it Every F'ing Time.


C.

Now this is a Real Problem, after updating a few days ago, THE GODDAMN
FONTS DO NOT RENDER, in half of the websites I visit with chromium. Rn
there is massive wierdness going on with chromium and glibc


D.

WTF, I just installed sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-5.11.15, rebooted, ran
update again, and now it's unavailable, this is like 3 days.. Updating
kernel sucks because of nvidia drivers. =\

[gentoo-user] routine maintenance.

2021-02-18 Thread Alan Grimes
I overhauled my computer today, found two things...

My waterblock is clogged again, down to a trickle of flow, not bad
enough to be dangerous at idle but I've had to order some fresh O-rings
from Germany and will need to rebuild the damn thing again.

Some of the nickel plating is scraped off down in the micro channels,
and the flow-restrictor is stainless steel, which is a high-nickel
steel... All the fittings in the loop are also nickel. (I was trying to
minimize things that would galvanically react to each other...)

BLEH...

The other discovery was that my /home drive is a 3.0 tb Toshiba unit
from 2014... man time flies!!! =P This means that the thing should
probably be replaced due to being old as hell...

I'm not going to get too excited about 24 reallocated sectors on a drive
this large... Actually I have a drive in my NAS that's going down hill
rapidly, I think the power supply to the slot its in is weaker than the
others and well...

Any thoughts about running a drive this old, and what I should be
looking at as a replacement?

Root is a 256gb SATA Samsung SSD, no concerns about lifespan on that
drive. I hadn't heard of M.2 yet when I bought it...

turns out my problem was profoundly simple, I hadn't updated my portage
mirror list in either of the past two geological ages...  (it should
have reported "WAITING ON FETCH" in the emerge update, that would have
saved me about 2 days figuring that out...)

Mirrorselect actually worked. =O

Perl cleaner or whatever it's called solved the rest... Actually just
turning on yet more verbosity allowed me to manually clean everything
out in a reasonable amount of time... My make.conf is starting to look
like a litany of verbosity enables.

2021-01-29 Thread Alan Grimes
I'm trying to update my system after 71 days of uptime because I wanna
start moving my stuff into a newer case (current case is 11 years old...)

I started the update at aronud 3 am, it's 9 am now, the update is
technically running but it's behaving as if it is running at a CPU
priority lower than the idle process!!! It is ignoring 47.5 hardware
threads, load average is 0.41 right now because I'm typing. Console
output is normal for a build when it's running but it's not. System is
responsive and the applications that haven't started to missbehave from
being up for 71 days are still running fine. It claims that two builds
are running rn, but it is refusing to exceute code in any meaningful way.

/var/tmp/portage is empty atm, totally bizzare.

last few lines of emerge output is:

Now I'm in a loop where I try a pretend update, it bitches about a
package, I uninstall that package, and then spend another ten minutes
waiting for it to do a pretend update... In theory since there are only
1600 packages on the system, this process will eventually end, though it
may take several months.

[gentoo-user] Lots of Fail.

2020-11-14 Thread Alan Grimes
First, my 3960x nearly melted the last few days, my cooling loop had run
almost dry. (apparent boil off...) root cause appears to be some kind of
chemical issue with my coolant that had resulted in the waterblock being
almost completely clogged preventing it from doing anything but getting
red hot, (north of 105C !!) so PSA = CHECK YOUR WATER LOOPS!!!

Anyway, I cleaned and flushed it at least enough to get it running again.

Since I rebooted for the first time in a month+, I need to update my
packages.

One of the fails I'm getting is a bunch of packages looking for
libgit2.so.1.0,   Ofcourse we now have libgit2.so.1.1

Who in god's name requires a specific minor version of a package!?!?!?!
Pure madness!!!

My much bigger problem is:

atg@tortoise ~ $ chromium
chromium-browser: error while loading shared libraries: libre2.so.8:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
atg@tortoise ~ $

So I tried to 'emptytree chromium' and got hit by the libgit2 problem in
librsvg, also hit it in a number of other packages... =\

[gentoo-user] kinda tight on time, what versions are good?

2020-07-31 Thread Alan Grimes
Kinda short on time to F with my system rn...

Is GCC 10.2 any good or should I stay on 9.3?

A few months ago I was in a squeeze play between the sound drivers and
the video drivers on kernel 5.6. I even RMA'd my motherboard though
there is a chance that it was only insability in the sound drivers that
was the root problem, the thing is really tricky to configure, you need
to make sure you have alsamixer pointed to the actual device and not the
pulseaudio top... Symptom = wasn't setting volume on left channel audio
out, couldn't find a way to fix it with alsamixer at the time.

What is the latest kernel you can use with the current nvidia-drivers?
If I can bump my kernel version to something on a stable branch just
below that version, I'd like to version freeze for 6-8 months

The kernel penguins like removing API calls that Nvidia drivers use
because they don't like binary drivers. They had scored a pretty serious
hit with version 5.7, so I'm not sure if nvidia was able to find a
workaround.

Re: [gentoo-user] Grub: for the love of almighty Zardoz the magniicent....

2020-07-01 Thread Alan Grimes
Got the motherboard running, the motherboard was IGNORING the "UEFI
only" BIOS setting, it was attempting to boot my system in BIOS mode, I
found that I had to efibootmgr and tell the stupid BIOS what is what...
why the BIOS doesn't scan the first two directories under /EFI for *.efi
and list them, then allow the user to select the default is byond me...
I mean it would be much much too easy to do it that way. =\


The magic smoke had left my previous motherboard, literally a component
was burned off the board, so couldn't put it back in service even if it
could have been booted. The temporary build actually looks pretty nice.
It has an absolutely absurd amount of RGB on it...

hmm, I wonder how many of you good ppl have a similarly burned component
that you haven't detected for some reason... If your build is more than
~2 years old, I suggest a close visual inspection of all components...

The RGB on the ram does cause a serious heat issue when I have 4 sticks
stacked up on the threadripper, but on this temporary build I'm only
using two sticks and it looks very nice.

2020-06-30 Thread Alan Grimes

I RMA'd my normal mobo as previously discussed. 
I went to grab my previous motherboard and it turns out that it had actually 
released a goodly chunk of it's Magic Smoke (tm) while I hadn't been looking.  
So I went down to the Quickie Mart and grabbed a motherboard that was still 
compatible with the rusty old 1800x... 
The error was 
Unable to load "/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod" 
I had to buy some more USB sticks (my optical drive seems functional but will 
not boot the machine...) and used gparted to get into the partition, 
.

All my .mod files were in x86_64-efi   
>>> AND IT WAS WORKING ON THE OTHER MOTHERBOARD!!! <<<

Dear beloved Zardoz, what have I done to deserve your wrath??? 

I need to have a run of brass plaques fabricated with the inscription "If it 
can fail then the design is wrong" and mail them to each of the penguins that 
cause me this much heartburn. 
I have no idea where even to begin fixing this mess... 

[gentoo-user] upstream broke cups network printing...

2020-06-30 Thread Alan Grimes
I was sitting smug and happy thinking I could print from either of my
computers to the laserjet printer downstairs. So therefore when I need
to RMA my mobo and need to print out the forms, it doesn't work.

The sack of crap seems to think it can connect to the printer using:

Connection:
dnssd://HP%20Color%20LaserJet%20Pro%20M453-4%20%5B804AC2%5D._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=beff9c81-55ea-548f-5867-4d44f4da191e



Why in god's name does CPUS think that would work, ofcourse I'm going to
get: in my error log

Naturally, there is no other way to configure this crap with the web
interface, there are some on-line manpages but they're written in
moonspeak. =(

[gentoo-user] alsamixer

2020-05-14 Thread Alan Grimes
I don't really know why sound is working on my machine rn.

I think there is some kind of embedded USB bus AMD thingy that generates
some digital stream that is simply played by a set of DACs on my mobo.
The chipset listed in the motherboard manual seems irrelevant.

The capacitor in my speakers is dying again, I bought these speakers
back in 2006 and have hardly ever turned them off since. So they don't
have much gain anymore, So I need some boost from the card

Because I need to change a setting, alsamixer just dies when I try to
configure it. When I try to select USB audio, the thing instantly
crashes to desktop.

atg@tortoise ~ $ alsamixer

Interesting, didn't know about this:

Just a basic headphones -> RCA adaptor cable from the main output from
the motherboard, it's a surround sound type motherboard even though
those are pointless, you get surround sound out of a computer by
decoding the HDMI output ( see 0 above, ) I do that in the other room...
Anyway, it's a surround sound mobo and I don't have much say in that...

Ok, honestly It's a MSI creator TRX 40 board

[gentoo-user] GCC 10.1 SUCKS.

2020-05-14 Thread Alan Grimes
IMNSHO GCC 10-1 is the suckeyest pile of sucking suck that ever did
suck

I am going to have to base my system on 9.3...

KDE really can't update itself, I really had to flog the living bleep
out of it to get it, and a lot of other stuff to settle down...

The configure phases for most of these packages are so monsterously
inefficient that I have to run dozens of builds concurently to get CPU
utilization out of the single digits... Okay, I have a high-end
processor rn but it's crazy watching the actual compile stages of
various packages only blip the histogram for a fraction of a second...

Ouch.

Yesterday I made the dubious decision to go ahead and mobo swap my aging
1800x to [nondisclosed].

Ok... The new mobo is EFI only...

Back in the good old days, the BIOS would just load the first sector off
your floppy drive, check for a basic sanity check pattern to make sure
the floppy cable was connected, working, and not cross-circuited, and
then it would work.

DOS provided a single command for making a bootable floppy and it
**NEVER FAILED**.

This thing does not boot off the motorized cupholder, and setting it up
is like the twelve labors of Herculese and you have to get them all
exactly correct or it doesn't work at all and it doesn't tell you why it
doesn't work. =| I don't even know how it's working.

I had intended it to be a UEFI drive from the start but my old mobo was
very forgiving and I think the thing was actually booting in BIOS mode.

Turns out the missing ingredient was "efibootmgr"... =\

The designers of the UEFI standard cared about nothing but their own job
security.


So I got to see my GRUB menu.  YAY    (lasted about 5 seconds...)

Machine appeared to stall at kernel loading.



 >>> YOU KNOW SOMETHING WAS DESIGNED BY PENGUINS WHEN IT MAKES THE WORST
POSSIBLE DESIGN DECISIONS AND THEN BLAMES THE USER FOR NOT MAKING IT
WORK... <<<

Case in point, EFI framebuffer.  I could end the post there

Why is this not a forced-on setting for any machine with UEFI enabled? I
can't imagine that this would be unacceptable for more than 0.001% of
the install base.

So therefore it is disabled by default and you have to enable it in at
least three different deeply burried settings otherwise the kernel
appears to hang. 

In the good old days the BIOS did the following:

Is there something resembling a CPU in the socket? Good!
Where's the goddamn video card so I can post error messages?
Does this machine even have RAM?

So obviously linux is doing this profoundly wrong


Ok, so it's time to emptytree world my system:

I don't feel comfortable manually yanking any of these packages... What
is the cannonical solution to this CF?

Thanks all for having this thread, my rage would have been endless if I

[gentoo-user] WTF is up with mysqld?

2020-01-13 Thread Alan Grimes
mysqld goes into infinite hang when I try to boot my damn manchine.

I found how to get the thing to boot into "safe mode" then I had to unix
the unholy hell out of it just to get the MFing root partition mounted
in RW mode then I had to remember how to use rc-config to evict mysqld
from the boot order... Miraculously, I remembered enough commands to
actually do this but well... =\

Existing routers: Unknown, depends on model/firmware, must be enabled in
settings.

Existing modems/ONTs: if operating in transparent "bridge" mode, should
be no issue, check MTU limitations/issues.

If modem is operating in lite router mode: unknown, check model.

[gentoo-user] The Full Story.

2019-10-31 Thread Alan Grimes
Ok, it's about 2:45 AM, I thoughtlessly did something absurdly risky,
resize a chromium browser pane by clicking on the edge of the window and
dragging it a few pixels, so naturally X11 goes down taking my number
theory code with it. Reminder: I had run that code from May 1 through
last week and only voluntarily rebooted my machine

[gentoo-user] pam

2019-10-31 Thread Alan Grimes

Emperor penguin, brooding as usual: "I'm bored, how can we fuck with the
users this week?"

Chancelor penguin: "we can mask PAM for no reason. It has never caused
anyone any problem but removing it will drive the users crazy for days
trying to get their system working when they do emergency updates to try
to fix the instability you caused last month when you let the kernel get
out of sync with nvidia drivers to punish them for using proprietary
drivers when, for many years those were the only ones that would work.."

Emperor penguin: "Really, could it be possible?!"

Chancelor Penguin: "Well, there's a 90% chance that the entire system
can be built with pam disabled but it will require a massive re-build
and disabling several dozen default-on useflags and r-dep packages to be
removed. It will take the users DAYS AND DAYS! To solve it!"

-- Later that day the emperor addressed a throng of tens of thousands of
penguins --

Emperor Penguin "...Today, we once again re-assert our penguinosity by
wasting yet more of the user's time with no reason whatsoever..."

Crowd: "MASK PAM! MASK PAM! MASK PAM!!! LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR!!!"

[gentoo-user] issues.

2019-10-27 Thread Alan Grimes
Here are the issues I'm currently having.

1. Grub2 menu DOES NOT ACCEPT KEYBOARD INPUT!

-- Upgraded my ram to 64gb, couldn't run memtest because grub2 is broken.


2. My current combination of Linux-Headers-5.2, kernel 5.2 and nvidia
drivers is UNSTABLE and crashes X11 to command line when the steam
client updates itself, breaking my long running number theory code, lost
about 2 days of work so far. Actually, when this happens the command
line is garbled and I have to issue "reset" to gain control again.

(current status:

0x1b39b150
2201021200121101001110012211022102200202121120120220200020102012221201200221211022200210212_3
)

When either of those numbers rolls over, the program will leave the
inner loop and the outer loop will increment, the problem essentially
grows exponentially and will run very fast for small i, but when it gets
up to 49 well it takes many months...) A threadripper might be able
to handle the i=50 block, I don't expect to find a number until the i=51
block... The last number I found is:
24014998963383302600955162866787153652444049

The weird thing is that all the numbers this code has found were done
with a Phenom II, 1090T. My Ryzen 1800x hasn't found a single new number
despite being 3x faster.

[gentoo-user] updating system with 1 thread...

2019-10-13 Thread Alan Grimes
When I started my number theory code up back in May, I left 1 
hyperthread on my CPU unused for general use, mainly youtube videos...

[gentoo-user] 2 months into an 8-month computation.

2019-07-11 Thread Alan Grimes
'ey, I have the 2.3 months into an 8-month computation blues... I 
stupidly fired up my number theory code which grows at roughly 3^x 
(where X = 49 right now...).
(current position in the search space: 
0x149b87d9 ) 0 hits so far, the set I'm 
looking for is incredibly sparse...


My code is posted here: https://github.com/AlonzoTG/palindromes23

Here's the known examples of the set I'm working on:
https://github.com/AlonzoTG/palindromes23/blob/master/numbers

Basically I have nothing better to do with my life than run this code. =\

My 360mm rad is sucessfully keeping my 1800x stable at 3842mhz, 25gb of 
ram is allocated to the process... (uptime = 75 days) (15 process 
threads running...)


So basically all gentoo updates will have to be done at the end of this 
run, I'm not really sure when, sometime in the December-January timeframe.


I just want to warn you that I will be expressing rage and fury if my 
old, much maligned update scripts don't work absolutely buttery smooth. =P


I want a perfect unattended update.

NO USE CHANGES
NO MANUAL UNINSTALLS
NO MANUAL ANYTHING.

I want to say "update this crap" with my existing scripts and to walk away.

As my CPU is 100% committed right now, this will have to be with the 
software I have right now.


You have 6 months to get Gentoo ready to do this. =|

Thank you for the reasonable response.

Dale, of course, has spewed hate at me for simply trying to make my life
as convenient as possible while still using Gentoo over here without
even providing a satisfactory answer as to why.


My experience with Emerge is that it goes out of it's way to be obscure
and conceales huge amounts of information from the user by default, like
all unix programs, and must be coaxed with a litany of flags,
parameters, and environment variables to produce any useful output at
all. Whenever it's output pattern changes I need to go do research to
re-enable whatever it decided to hide this month.

At this point, I need to update about 25% of my system, or on the order
of 460 packages. Going through this list manually simply is not feasible
or even productive. Having tried several approaches to starting the
update including emerge --update system, emerge --update world, and
emerge --update packageX, I have decided that the only command that will
sucessfully update my system in it's present state is emerge --emptytree
world . The singular obstacle to that working appears to be the absence
of those patch files.

Now, back to the problem at hand.

Since 2004, I have been using "emerge --sync" to update my portage tree.
I understand that it accesses a local list of mirrors and then runs
rsync against one of those. On spinning media hard disks it is helpful
to pre-cache the portage tree as shown in my scripts, on SSD systems, it
is simply harmless. I refreshed my mirror list and selected either HTTP
or RSYNC mirrors from across the USA.

The problem is NOT with emerge in that the files that it complains about
not being present are in fact not present. I tried to find them on
google and only found changelogs, not the actual files in a downloadable
state that I can add manually. I am still angry with Emerge for not
updating all packages for which those files are not required or even
compiling packages until it encounters one for which it does not have
the files.

I prefer to obey the server's admonition against updating more than once
a day, however this is an emergency and I have run sync against it maybe
a dozen times. I have no reason to expect that there is any discrepency
between the files I have and what's actually on the servers unless there
is an entirely different set of servers out there which actually do have
the files I need or a completely new and different way to sync them, 
(WTF IS Eix? ) . =|

broken under ~amd64)
3. Putting 320 people on a baloon filled with Hydrogen and sending it to
New Jersey.

[gentoo-user] What's with KDE?

2018-11-02 Thread Alan Grimes
I have not seen KDE add a single feature or even fix a single bug (while
letting new bugs pile up) in FIVE YEARS. They version bump their entire
suite for no reason every five minutes but nothing gets even slightly
better. KDE has'nt been worth anything since the QT4 cataclysm, 3.59 was
pretty darn good. =\ Kdevelop3 only needed to be restarted once a
week... You could binge program with it for an ENTIRE WEEK without
restarting it... It had some wonderful class inheratance heirarchy
graphing tools so that you could learn codebases nice and quick and go
in and refactor them.

Unfortunately I don't think even Don Corleone could get me a programming
job. =(

How did they make it so that 40% of ordinary zip files I try to open
with konqueror fail CRC (but work perfectly from the command line)

It used to have nice large icon mode with previews, and nice small-icons
in normal mode... Broken too for many months now. =\

Akregator crashes all the time if I simply try to close a tab... It went
about three years without saving anything to disk when it's supposed to
buffer my RSS feeds. Now it's just crashtastic in the extreme...

FVWM seems to need an update for the new X11, icons still broken, can't
fullscreen a window properly anymore. -- Used to work great far like
FIFTEEN FRIGGIN YEARS WITHOUT USER INTERVENTION!

[gentoo-user] Per-process-tree memory quotas?

2018-10-19 Thread Alan Grimes
Hey, guys I'm having trouble here. =\


1. I have a stupifyingly vast amount of memory (32GB)
2. I'm hitting swap with nothing but a few browser windows with maybe a
dozen tabs each, libreoffice, and maybe 6 console windows. I should not
be using more than 2.5gb ram right now but I'm using 14.6gb, not
counting cache.


The two major culprits are the web browsers, seamonkey and Chromium...
They are absolutely out of control preventing me from running more
interesting applications on my machine. I have one code that does number
theory but it needs 25gb of ram to run, I can't run it now with these
goddamned web browsers eating ram like it's free. I would like to
establish hard memory quotas for the entire process tree of each of them
to 2.5gb.

How do I do this?

[gentoo-user] Where be me icons?

2018-10-06 Thread Alan Grimes
=\

Because each update basically rebuilds the same three or four
super-packages (libreoffice, chromium, the kde collection, etc) all of
which are version bumped every 12 milliseconds just to annoy ppl like
me, and because I had such a Good Time (tm) last SEVERAL times I tried
to update, I decided to put it off for six months

Well later that day X'doze crashes after an uptime of about 30 days...
(So I updated, there were problems but nothing worse than par...)

Also, I realize that Linux is going to go through a Dark Age and
probably be destroyed and re-built several times before emerging again
as a usable operating system, I am going to be climbing up from my
previous freeze at 4.15 to 4.18 which I will probably have to nurse
through 5-6 years of war and upheval...

(I am currently on 4.16, will try to go to 4.17 at next boot...)

The biggest problem I have right now is all the button-icons in fvwm
have gone poof. =(

I didn't do anything that portage didn't demand I do... The window
manager is really not usable without those icons, I know some of them by
memory but a 3x3 matrix of blank buttons is not acceptable.

The only two window managers available on gentoo, are twm -- which is
all you need as an emergency de-fsck tool and fvwm which will do 99% of
everything you actually need.

[gentoo-user] The memory gremlin

2018-08-09 Thread Alan Grimes
[resend, list was down...]

I've been meditating on the memory gremlin on my system...

The ram is Corsair, 3000mhz. (never had any problem with their sticks in
any system ever.)

Motherboard is an early release mini-ATX B350 board from Asus...

Chip is a R7 1800X

The pattern is: all cells test good on memcheck but occasionally there
is a bit error somewhere. I think it is a signaling issue between the
ram module and the memory interface in the cpu.

After meditating on it, I don't think there's anything I can do about it
given the STUPID settings the BIOS goes to... The problem with the BIOS
is that it considers only what the RAM tells it, it does not take into
account that the CPU is rated at 2667mhz... Well there's the answer,
this is AMD's first product with DDR4 support, and it's not super
awesome so simply acknowledging the limitation there, and setting the
memory interface to 2666 (which is what the BIOS offers), it won't be
super fast but it damn well should work. =|

[gentoo-user] Good news for once...

2018-07-30 Thread Alan Grimes
I guess I should mention that after the revdep rebuild and a kernel
bump, everything's back, including steam.

Anomalies noted:

I think my memory gremlin is back, init took a dump and I had to reboot
the machine, it wasn't scheduling the processeses I needed it to and it
wouldn't clean up a zombie chromium.

I had to unmerge a handful of much beloved packages to get emerge
--depclean to work, even more pain to get most things back installed but
I got my mast pointed at the sky again and my keel under me.

I had to mask libcdio, it's never going to work on this machine -- ever.


I'm now on 4.5.18... Since I manually downloaded portage won't uninstall
it for me... (grumble grumble).

The last package fail takes a bit of explaining

Many long years ago I spent way too much money on this box that
makes noise when sent bytes... U can hook it up by MIDI or ordinary
serial port...

It has a mess of chips in it that can be programmed with a "sound font"
or (an instrument wavetable) and then will play notes when bytes come
down the wire.

So basically ur midi player just reads a MIDI file, then tacks on the
address of the chip you want to use to play it... (you can play as many
sets of notes as you like until you run out of chips to address),
and then sends it to the kernel level driver... Now the kernel level
driver is buggy as hell and the buffer code is an absolute atrocity,
I've worked on it myself, -- it's the wrongest code I ever did see, so
when you run two different instances of the midi player against two
different chip addresses, the notes get jumbled together because the
buffer code is BROKEN.

I don't really use this rig much anymore but I like to keep it in
working order. =\

So, naturally, nobody's maintaining playmidi anymore so it barfs

2018-07-29 Thread Alan Grimes
Look, this system was installed when I went 64 bit back in 2010...

I put a great deal more work than I should into keeping it running.

I use Eclean-dist every time to purge dead packages. I've learned that
this is a very important step, often more important than the actual
update step...

I just went through my use flags and removed about a dozen of them that
have since been deprecated...

My package.mask and package.use are both very minimal. I run
emptytree-world on every significant compiler upgrade.

I'm running an emptytree world today because the system has been through
a lot of torture over the past week.

If there is anything "janky" or hacky in my setup it's for exactly one
reason: It was the first solution I found to a real actual problem I was
dealing with at the time after up to two weeks of desperately searching.
I take great offence to anyone who tells me that it's MY fault. =|

I believed the lies about open source and linux etc, even despite my
lived experience... Mostly because I hate Micro$oft to death...

=\

What in god's name are the linux ppl trying to build here?!?!?!

It's certainly not a stable, usable, and reliable operating system...

[gentoo-user] Steam is still BROKEN

2018-07-28 Thread Alan Grimes
A picture is beginning to emerge, after the reboot..


It did not give a usable error message so I had panicked and probably
cleaned more than I should have... 73% chance the underlying issue was a
graphics driver version bump that SHOULD have been clearly reported, but
wasn't, the remaining chance being something else that had become
incompatible while I was trying to update this junk. =\

There was a library that I had to downgrade to version 1.8, from 2.x,
that cleared an error, so it tried to load,


Now it gets stuck eternally on "Connecting Steam Account: [...]"

The logs are split among about 10^3 (rough estimate) different files,
all of which are extremely boring...

[gentoo-user] getting increasingly worried about this.

2018-07-25 Thread Alan Grimes
I'm now running my update script daily (on a SSD...)

KDE is still profoundly broken.
Steam still doesn't work. -- might be fixed by a reboot but can't reboot
due to dependence on kde packages...

Today I get
[ebuild   R    ] dev-lang/spidermonkey-52.9.1_pre1:52::gentoo 
USE="custom-cflags system-icu -custom-optimization -debug -minimal
{-test} (-jit%*)" 0 KiB


I can't read the syntax there up around jit, clearly it is disabled for
some platform reason even though it is enabled in make.conf and even,
for some packages, in profile...

OK.

Then it barfs. (unsurprisingly)

The vomit reads like the developer turned on warnings for many things he
wanted to pretend to want to fix but never fixed them...

Anyway, It gets all the way to the install phase and it dies because:

 * ERROR: dev-lang/spidermonkey-52.9.1_pre1::gentoo failed (install phase):
 *   USE Flag 'jit' not in IUSE for dev-lang/spidermonkey-52.9.1_pre1

and I'm like FU, asshole. The flag is enabled, you disabled it, -- just
run in interpreted mode for chrissake!


And then we get to the perennial fails, fails that have been broken FOR
YEARS, and are breaking really super important stuff like Xine, the best
media player for Linux...

├── dev-libs
│   ├── libcdio-2.0.0-r1
│   └── libcdio-paranoia-0.94_p2

├── media-sound
│   └── playmidi-2.5-r2

What?!?!?! I'm not allowed to play midi files on linux anymore either? =(


I really want to like the recent package cleanups, I really do, but
seriously, the distribution is severely broken right now. I mean keyword
[platform] is much too conservative to be usable... But then keyword
~[platform] should be Stable Enough -- as it has been for over a
decade... Can we please stop breaking stuff until these things are
working again???

The troubleshooting page gives
|user $||steam --reset

But then I have modded the living hell out of several of the games I
have and I  ___REALLY___ don't want to re-install those, is there a
softer reinstall that just clears out Steam's binaries without touching
the game library?




Also, I'm version frozen on my linux kernel at 4.15.14... Is it getting
time to jump to 4.16?  I'm much too shy to go to 4.17 at the moment...
No complaints about 4.15 except that it's a horrible archaic monolithic
kernel supporting a system that should have been obsoleted in the '90s.

[gentoo-user] KDE and pulseaudio.

2018-07-16 Thread Alan Grimes
I haven't read all the vomit in /var/tmp/portage yet but the basic
pattern seems to be:

Pulseaudio makes some sensible yet incompatible upgrades -> kde was
excessively intertwined with a beta version of pulseaudio -> all of KDE
depended on that one library, -> all of KDE fails.

I need Konsole, Akregator, sometimes konqueror (best available file
manager), had to -kde libreoffice to get that back...

So what gives here, anyone have an ETA on getting this working again?

[gentoo-user] evil ebuilds.

2018-07-11 Thread Alan Grimes
Portage seems to be fairly OK right now but these ebuilds are really
really being evil... I've spent about half a day on this bullshit so I'm
in a really fine mood right now.

Here are my masks right now, much of my mask file is obsolete, these are
the ones I've been working with today.

[gentoo-user] vulkan development...

2018-05-08 Thread Alan Grimes
After playing Rise of The Tombraider using Vulkan on Gentoo I got
inspired to try to poke with some source code. I downloaded vkQuake from
github and tried to build it. It couldn't find ...

Uh, where are the headers? What package are they in? =(

[gentoo-user] Nvidia-drivers,

2018-03-18 Thread Alan Grimes
Gentlemen, we have a problem...

Okay, ~ a week ago there was a power outage at my place, everything goes
down for a day or two. I had recently refreshed my UPS batteries, so I
had a chance to put that into the circuit, no biggy.

Since nobody will offer me a job, I was playing Kerbal space program yet
again. (not even Don Corleone could get me a job at this point, I
frequently joke about the horse head trick but, seriously, I don't think
even that would work...)

So, after all of two and a half days of uptime, nvidia drivers takes
x'-doze down.

I was like "Ok, fine, I'll do a maintenance cycle on my machine and all
will be good..."

So I update the bios, update the kernel, update portage, flush a few
dead packages down the memory hole... Ok, my system was in shape again...

So, I'm back in kerbal, another day or two goes by, I'm sitting there
trying to figure out whether I have enough room in my departure corridor
to slot in a contract mission to Jool.. I wasn't even sitting down, just
poking around in my kitchen. When I got back, the game was frozen. I had
to log in with my PoS laptop which is useful only for this task. I found
that KSP, and X'doze were live-locked, presumably on a Nvidia-drivers
bug. =( I tried killing off KSP but it ended up going zombie... I tried
killing off parent processes, no luck, I then tried shutting down the
machine the normal way, no good. I eventually ended up going to the
dusty 28 year old power commander thing and throwing the big orange
switch labelled COMPUTER (complete and instantaneous removal of power).

What's going on here? Nvidia drivers have been stable for years...
what's the deal? =\

[gentoo-user] mono and stale files.

2018-03-03 Thread Alan Grimes
I did some neglected maintenance on my system today, cleared a few
things out

I then manually went crawling around in /usr/lib/mono and found 2/3rds
of the stuff there was from 2014 =\

I unmerged mono, deleted the entire directory, then reinstalled mono. My
pathetic reward for doing that was the test now passes one test that it
had previously failed and now barfs the same barf (apparently) that
other program I was trying to run does... So what else needs cleaning
out. =\

Hey, what should I do next to try to resolve this, I am pretty sure it's
an install issue on my mono, haven't really tried to use it like this in
years...

As below, the "test install" tool tells me it's broken but doesn't give
me any clue as to the next step. =(
