Take all of the following with a grain of salt and YMMV. Any gentoo
pro's please correct my ideas here:
I have also been experimenting along the lines of making emerge nicer
via a few quick strategies, and while it doesn't address your issue
directly, I'll tell you some of the things that have made it more
enjoyable to use a machine while it is building packages:
1) Niceness: I set the following in my make.conf, since I value
responsiveness of the machine over the speed of the build:
```
PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND="ionice -c 3 -p \${PID}"
PORTAGE_NICENESS=19
```
2) Load average: I will trade some build time for responsiveness, so I
go ahead and use `taskset 2-100 emerge ...` on linux to prevent emerge
from using the first two cores/threads. I don't have a machine with a hundred
cores, but if I did, it would make a little heat
3) I set --load-average on the command line and in the make opts. No need
to run too wild. I make sure this is less than the number of cores I
allocated with taskset, or I think I may not hit the designated load
average for limiting.
4) ONLY if I have the RAM, mount /var/tmp or /var/tmp/portage as a
tmpfs. If I am merging very large projects (firefox and llvm for
example) concurrently, I may need more than several 10's of GB of RAM
for this. If I don't usually run the machine with substantial swap space
enabled, this might be a good time.
I think with those strategies, it is ok to just run emerge with `-j`
with no arguments. The cores prohibited from participating in emerge
will be available for interactive tasks, and the load average will limit
to some degree the number of processes.
If you give this a try, let me know what you think!
Eldon
Don't set PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND or PORTAGE_NICENESS. I just set
PORTAGE_SCHEDULING_POLICY="idle". My MAKEOPTS are "-j12 -l12" and I have
"--jobs=12" in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS (6c12t CPU). Anything that uses rust
(cargo seems to not support load so runs into problems, but setting
scheduling policy should help) or webkit you might want to lower
MAKEOPTS jobs via env overrides.

OFTC, on the other hand, is the home of the tor project, and has best tor support. so, in a sense, OFTC is the true libera. the only reason that i can think of that would explain why a group of people would create libera, is because their /hobby/ is to maintain IRC servers. i'm not for freenode either. the latest move was unacceptable, and it's good that people started leaving freenode, to show the new owners that while they can purchase a bunch of servers and domain names, they cannot purchase people. so i like that this freenode drama happened. but i dislike that we solved it by creating libera. i think we should've solved it by going the simpler solution: go to what already exists, and already has more liberty (more tor friendliness): OFTC. but, what happened is that we -instead- went to the freenode copy-cat, with the same hypocritical tor support, aka libera, which is as far away from liberty as freenode was away from free. while this subject is still warm and in the making, i recommend gentoo to change its opinion ans switch to the OFTC. rgrds, cm. Tor simply introduce too much chance of abuse. If people didn't abuse it, it wouldn't be blocked.

Everything builds fine. I had no compile or install failures. What I did run into tho was a missing or more likely crashed kicker/panel/thingy that is at the bottom of my screen. It's the thing that has the clock, desktop switcher, clip board and the K menu as well. I never can remember what they call that this week. Anyway, when I logged in, it came up for just a second or two and then disappeared. Obviously, you can't switch desktops in the normal way but if you use the ctrl and functions keys, it doesn't act or look like it normally should since there doesn't appear to be any background at all. Example, I have Kpatience on desktop 6. If I switch to it with the ctrl function keys, I can play the game normally. However, if I switch to what at startup is a empty desktop, #5 for example, the game still shows but doesn't work. If I switch back to desktop 6, it works as it should again. Whatever it is, it doesn't redraw the screen when you switch if you don't have something already running there. Other programs behaved in a similar way. It makes it look like all desktops are on one desktop yet switching still works. It's plenty weird. Also, there is no K menu so you can't start any programs that doesn't open from a saved session on login. Trust me, if you run into this, you won't miss it. Even if you don't notice the panel thingy at the bottom missing, you will notice the rest. It gets in your face and yells loudly that something ain't right. lol What little bit of error I found mentioned something about a missing input. To be honest tho, I'm not sure it was related to what I saw happening. None of the errors looked like a complete failure but more as a informational type message. Sort of like video drivers that have the "--" or "II". They show something didn't work as expected but it found a way around it or works without it. I don't have enough info to file a bug. The way I fixed it, I did a emerge -e world. It might be that a emerge -ek would fix it but to be sure, I let it recompile everything. It didn't quite finish when I tried to login and it worked normally. If I had a clue what package it was that was causing this, I'd certainly file a bug but it could be any number of packages. I suspect it is a dependency myself. Something needed to be rebuilt but wasn't for some reason. I hope no one runs into this but if you do, make sure you at least have a back up GUI installed, even if it doesn't give you anything but the basics, at least you have a GUI. You may also want to make sure you have time to deal with this just in case you do run into this problem. Having something so you can go back to 5.14 easily may work as well. Best of luck to all.

Re: [gentoo-user] gcc-4.9.x and stack protection ?

I seem to recall reading (somewhere) that gcc-4.9.x is needed for compiling the kernel with CONFIG_CC_STACK_PROTECTOR_STRONG so I've never tried it until today. Is my recollection accurate? Does gcc-4.9.x include more/different support than gcc-4.8.x for stack protection? Anyway, so far, so good. I recompiled and rebooted kernel 3.14.29 with strong stack protection enabled and all seems good. (Uptime is 20 minutes and counting ;) Yep, they added another stack protector option. Basically it offers better security than compiling with -fstack-protector and less overkill than compiling with -fstack-protector-all. Read more http://lwn.net/Articles/584225/ (it is GCC 4.9+)

The DVD spec doesn't support HD video. So what format do I have to burn the disk in, in order to have lets say 1920 x 1080 HD Bluray. But I think it would be rather worthless. If you're burning to a disc, I assume you're not using a computer, which means you probably trying to play it on a TV in which case I would say just use a Bluray player that upscales DVDs (most do) So just burn the DVD as normal (don't bother upscaling) and play it on a Bluray player.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Something must be going wrong. Basically it's entering powersave mode instead of activating a screen saver like older gnome would. Maybe it's entering suspend/hibernate instead of just putting the display to sleep? Either way, shaking my mouse or pressing a key wakes GDM up fine here.

Something is pulling upower. You need to find out what; supposedly
everything in the tree already should handle upower-pm-utils as a
upower replacement.
Perhaps try to sync again?
Regards.
Thanks, Canek.
I did re-sync, with the same results. I also ran a equery depends
upower with the following result:
dutch@gentoo ~ $ sudo equery depends upower
* These packages depend on upower:
mate-base/mate-applets-1.6.2-r1 (=sys-power/upower-0.9.4)
(sys-power/upower-0.99)
mate-base/mate-session-manager-1.6.1-r1 (=sys-power/upower-0.9.0)
mate-extra/mate-power-manager-1.6.3 (=sys-power/upower-0.9.1)
xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.10.1-r1 (udev ? sys-power/upower-0.99)
xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager-1.2.0-r2 (sys-power/upower-0.99)
dutch@gentoo ~ $
But as you said, upower-pm-utils should be handling these
dependencies. Is anyone else having these problems with MATE or XFCE?
Do you have newer sys-fs/udev masked by chance? What version do you have
installed? I noticed the MATE stuff is in an overlay, so it might take a
bit longer for them to make things right.

Re: [gentoo-user] grub vs grub2
You can't edit /etc/default/grub to customize how grub-mkconfig generates grub.cfg.

Now imagine the iPhone would have a rectangle-like icon with bad proportions) Re grub2: as long as grub0 works, I really don't care if grub2 is better, cleaner, shinier, more modern or anything else. I don't need a freakin' whole OS to boot linux, and having a configuration that is so convoluted that it *has to* be generated by running a set of scripts makes no sense at all. I thought the days of m4 and sendmail.cf were over a long time ago... I am sure grub2 can be made to work, but for a piece of software as vital as a boot loader, that level of complexity in my opinion is totally unreasonable and impossible to justify. I agree to you in a big part. Thanks. Big companies like Microsoft or Apple are doing a thing i simply call Similarisation of features for new/unknowledged users, which always goes in the reverse direction on long-term. Sample situation: Microsoft Repair CD: You can select to partition your disk appropiate to how the assistant will like it. You are being hid from all the details, as you wont understand them any way. Once you try to do something special, you get problems bigger than without this 'improvement for new ones'. This is because less work is being done to the detailed way of doing it, and more to the simple, which is made to just do one or two things. Essence: The system is hidden, you only see actions what you can do (update-grub in our case) instead of the system. This is obviously wrong because the system, the back-end, takes more than the front-end. Now the front-end should represent the back-end in a human readable form and not simplify to fit the least knowledged. BUT, i guess (from what ive heard) grub2 is fine with editing it by hand. And the command does really only assist in the simpliest matter, only combines all actions you'd have to take yourself. Thanks for the clearance. (If you want to criticise the above big block of text, I always fail to express myself well.)
