Hi Neil,

thanks for your posting and the informations! :)

It is a seldom coincedence, if one searches for something
and one reason for not finding an already existing information
is that the bots had not gathered it yet...;)

[gentoo-user] This time git failed to install

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

...still trying to build a new root...

(I am using a globally set ~amd64.)

This morning emerge presented me a new (at least for me)
error while trying to update @world related to git:

./check_bindir "z$bindir" "z$execdir" "$bindir/git-add"
 * ERROR: dev-vcs/git-2.12.0::gentoo failed (install phase):
 *   !!! newexe: 
/var/tmp/portage/dev-vcs/git-2.12.0/work/git-2.12.0/contrib/gitview/gitview 
does not exist
 *

Searching with startpage I didnt find anything related.

I took a look in the build.log and as it seems the install procedure
looks for something (gitview) that is no longer meant to
be included/build.

The build.log does not show a compilation/link error, which would result
in a missing gitview (it shows no error/failure at all beside the
installation problem). The first time gitview is mentioned in the log 
is when trying to install it.

The USE flags look unsuspicous to me:

Hi Neil,

no, no crosscompiling at this point and for this purpose. I am
building the new root on the same machine as the old one is running.

I simply want to check out, whether essential things work before
finally booting into the new root (to prevent an """endless"""
back-and-forth-booting-experience).

Hi Rich,

yes the option was set for what reason ever...I will clear that.
Next question...: Do I need v86d still then?

Another thing which drives me crazy:
Linux-headers!
emerge insists of installing linux-headers-4.10. I am runnig
4.9.12. Unstable is globally set (~amd64).

But giviing 

emerge sys-kernel/linux-headers-4.9
or
emerge 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-4.9'

gives me

!!! 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-4.9' is not a valid package atom.
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details.

Even

emerge sys-kernel/linux-headers-4.10
or
emerge 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-4.10'

results in

!!! 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-4.10' is not a valid package atom.
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details.

. I only can do

emerge sys-kernel/linux-headers

but (as mentioned above) it installs 4.10. not 4.9.
v86d does not compile with 4.10.

ebuild (5) suggests to do, what I have done/written above.

Doing a complete rebuild of the root of years of running
gentoo is a hrm. intersting...hrmmmexperience...
;)

Hi Fernando,

I used the config I used for building the kernel of the 'old' root.
The new root is intended to replace the old root on the same machine.
Its even the same kernel source...
So everything should fine.
Even if it will use /proc/config.gz it will find the config of
the current kernel running the old root (and that way the chrooted
rooot).

scratching my head...

I will check the configs...may be there is something not readable
(permissions) ... I had copied a lot back and forth (I bought one
of those crappy harddiscs, which became full after a while...;)

[gentoo-user] Strange hickups while trying to compile a kernel in a chroot

 Description: A daemon to run x86 code in an emulated environment

Is this "quite normal" or does the make process of the kernel make
false conclusion while being chrooted?

Do I really need initram? ... For years I though my grub had
booted the kernel which runs my linux directlu...

My commandline to build the kernel at my old root was:

 kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-4091200-64-RT && make -j7 all && make -j7 modules_install 
&& /bin/cp -f ./arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage* $kernel; emerge nvidia-drivers 
;emerge app-emulation/virtualbox-modules ;grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

whjch had.

v86d is not installed yet and of course I will install it if needed.
But I want to get shure, that the chrooted environment has not
confused the kernel build process...

Thanks for any help in advance!

Hi Thelma,

may be it would gave you a hint, what happens to the PDF while
compressing, so it is easier to duplicate the result.

I think, the pdf which was the direct result of the scanning
process is a series of images in a kind of pdf container.

May be you will find a site on the internet (I dont know
of any program on Gentoo, which does this) which is 
able to analyse the structure of a pdf.

May the result of that analyses will give you a hint,
what magic the compression process has done.

By the way: What did you scann? Pure Text? Images
only? A mixture of both? Line drawings?

Did you find traces of an ocr process like mispelled
word and/or missing character?

HTH!

Hi Johannes,

[gentoo-user] /etc/portage/profile vs. /etc/portage/make.profile

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

I am a little confused...

In search for the reason my new root has no /etc/portage/profile
but an /etc/portage/make.profile on this documemnt:
https://dev.gentoo.org/~zmedico/portage/doc/man/portage.5.html
I found this ywo lines

/etc/portage/make.profile/ or /etc/make.profile/
site-specific overrides go in /etc/portage/profile/

(My profile is set correctly)
Does this mean that make.profile is totally identical to
make.profile, but if you want site-specific overrides you need
to have profile instead of make.profile?

Do I need to create /etc/portage/profile if it is not there?

Nonetheless the listing below implies, that they are equivaltent.
Or ?

Hi Helmut,

I know that situation very well...additionally I have Blender
open...

But I think that the "freeze" of the system is not due to the memory
amount but due to the heavy I/O while swapping.

May be a tool like ionice could help you to keep the possibility
of killing certain processes. Ionice the emerge itself and additinally
nice it also.
The emerge may take longer, but a frozen system is even slower...
;)

HTH!

Re: [gentoo-user] To emerge openbox or gparted...that is the question...(William Tuxpeare)

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi Miroslav,

I started using computers with 14...

The root I am installing is in a separate directory, which
I use chrooted.

Over the years I was locked out several times because I was using
"sophisticated backup software" and the "the most advanced backup
strategy"
;)
...in the end, when the system had gone gaga, I neither had the
software anymore nor the informations, what backyp was incremental,
fundamental, global, local or whatever.

Now I have two identical harddiscs: One is for daily usage and the second
is an 1:1 image copy of the first one.
Getting my system up again after -- for example -- a hard head creash
is done in minutes: Change harddisk, reboot...Voila!

While building the new root I have attached an external 2.5" harddisk
for temporary backups and snapshot of what I am trying to acchieve.

Cheers
Meino

Hi Alan, hi Johannes,

thanks for all your help!

Will take a deeper look into the few use-flags I set by hand.

[gentoo-user] To emerge openbox or gparted...that is the question...(William Tuxpeare)

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

I am confused...

For my new gentoo root I want openbox AND gparted.
But emerge says this:

# required by x11-libs/pango-1.40.3::gentoo
# required by x11-wm/openbox-3.6.1::gentoo
# required by openbox (argument)
>=x11-libs/cairo-1.14.8 X

and

# required by dev-cpp/cairomm-1.12.0-r1::gentoo
# required by dev-cpp/pangomm-2.40.1::gentoo
# required by dev-cpp/gtkmm-2.24.5::gentoo
# required by sys-block/gparted-0.27.0::gentoo
# required by sys-block/gparted (argument)
>=x11-libs/cairo-1.14.8 -X


Do I really need a virtualbox image just to play around with
gparted separeted from openbox? ;)

Can't be...or?

Any way around this?

Cheers

[gentoo-user] How to delete the previous environment settings directly after chrooting prior to reading .bashrc ?

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

is there any clean way to delete the environment completly
right after chrooting into a alternate root installation
-- except using 'login ' after chrooting?

Thanks in advance for any keeping the environment clean! ;)

Hi Harry,

Depends a little, what base you choose. Commandlines tends to be
shorter than for example lines printed with the dmesg command.

To get you an idea, how much "much" is:

# supposing that you have command history enabled with you shell
# prints the bytes count and the number of lines . You only need to
# devide one by the other
> history -1000 | dd | wc -l 

# for the other estimation you can do this

HTH!

Hi Johannes,

thanks for your offered help! :)

I fixed that symlink but I ran into more weird problems... :(
Normally I alway run a revdep-rebuild cycle after each 
update...

How did you set ABI_X86 in make.conf?
Do you use multilib or a pure 64bit setup?

Hi Hogren,

my old root is no longer updatable in a efficient way (much too much
workarounds, quirks, exceptions etc. pp.) and it is old.

So I decided to build a new one.

I created a directory on a partition with enough space, chrooted into
it and installed the stage3 archive.

Then I started to install the software I used to use.

Yesterday I wanted (as done before) to update via
eix-sync.emerge@world...andBUMMER!
The above mention error happens.

What to compile and how to compile it depended completly on decisions
made by emerge...I dont know why it wants to compile a 32bit version
of gnutls...the only thing I know is that I choosed the multilib
version of the stage3 by intention.

This is from the chrooted environment, which complains while
updateing...:
ls -l /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 46836 Feb  7 04:24 /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config

It was a normal and often done successfully update process, which
triggers this...

Any idea what's the reason for it and how to fix it?

Cheers
Meino

[gentoo-user] Building a new root for my Gentoo: Permission denied?

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

got a mysterious error message this morning (still building a new 
root...)

One of the updates was gnutls:
It ends with:
...
checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config... 
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0...

configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details
...

I tried:
computer# ldd /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config
not a dynamic executable
computer# /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config 
zsh: permission denied: /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config

computer# file /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config

version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, for 
GNU/Linux 2.6.32, stripped, with debug_info

I choosed multilib right from the beginning of this adventure ...

How can I check, whether the problem is caysed by gnutls or by the 
system setup (regarding 32bit)?

Hi @all,

WHOW! Thanks a LOT for that detailed and many input! 
That helps on this side A LOT...didn't expected that
there that much ways to do it :)
NICE!

To answer the question: No, the target group reading
the docs are inhouse customers reading the software
documentation on somehow user-level.
Neither science heavy stuff nor math-loaded landscapes
of formula (I *LIKE* TeX, though)!
TeX is for typesetting what UNIX/Linux is for OSses;)
If you you use something different -- you will get something
different...
(OK, really not meant seriously...I am just in the mood
for building some phrases...;) ;) ;)

Wanted input is ASCII (called UTF-something nowadays)
- target formats are HTML and PDF and maybe xlsx (and docx).

[gentoo-user] SOT (Slightlt OffTopic): Scriptable Documentation system (HTML/PDF) ?

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

to create documentation about changes in the
contents of releases, of the installation 
instruction and in system requirements I need
a system, which is scriptable and therefore
automatable.

Current state is to make or changes manually
in the different docs.

Is TeX the right choice for the document
generating backend?

What can be choosen as "glue" between the 
"outside world" and TeX?

Thank you very much for any regarding this
problem! :)

Cheers

Hi Alan,

thanks for the infos! That will help!

Short meta-question: I haven't done this before
and need some instructions...
Since I am no native speaker, I often fail to
find something specific (or ot will take much longer
than usual).
What is the "terminus technicus" here?
"User overlay", "local overlay" or something with "layman" in 
there?

[gentoo-user] Reversing a .../files/*.patch as user patch?

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

While compiling my new root, it fails again.

Here is the desription what happens...solution is
not to apply two of the patches of the ebuild.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605158


But...how can I do this more convenietly than
manually reversing the patchfiles?
Can I instruct emerge not to apply certain patches?

Cheers

Hi Alexander,

thanks for the link!

Had found the culprit myself and fixed it with
a user patch...

Hi Joost,

the problem was a superflous "," in the make.conf-file which screwed
up some later stages of the whole process.

I am still setting up the system...you...compiling the world is the
gentooist daily bussiness ;)

So it may take some time till I try the grub thing.
If I find a way (or a valid info that it will definetly NOT work) 
I will post it here (this thread or a separate one).

Found it myself:
It was a superflous "," in make.conf which creates the chaos.
In the future I will strictly avoid ","s... ;)

Thanks for the infos, Mick! 

The last time I used star it kills my filesystem. It mau be the most
POSIX compliant thing of the universe...but...
Its long ago...I never have touched this again...

I will check the grub thingy...good idea! :)

Currentlu I am totally blocked from build a new system, since
gcc has stopped working globally.

Will see...

THANKS! for the correction of the commandline, Joost!!!

While copying I am always on the same system ... it is just another
subdirectory from the copuing process's perspective (or I miss
the point here totally...still doing below my normal coffee level
currentlu ;)

I think rsync becomes speedy for updates...only...?

[gentoo-user] Suddenly gcc fails to compile anything...

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

after installing / updateing 122 package (first sync/update of the new
gentoo installation), gcc is no longer able to compile stuff
(according to configure) -- problem is always the same:

Thread model: posix
gcc version 5.4.0 (Gentoo 5.4.0-r3 p1.3, pie-0.6.5) 
configure:3882: $? = 0
configure:3871: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -V >&5
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-V'
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
configure:3882: $? = 1

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-qversion'
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.


I have no idea, where this "-V' and '-qversion' results from...my
make.conf looks like this:

Hi Joost,

thanks fpr your posting! :)

Ok...another USB drive mau lay around here...will see...
Just two quick questions:

Is this ok, to preserve as much as possible of the
settings/attributes/whatever of the files or do you anything better
and quickier than this:
(cd /. ; tar cf - . ) | ( cd /. ; tar xvpsf - )
?

[gentoo-user] A new gentoo ... how to check before delete the old one?

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

since my old Gentoo installation seems to be screwed up (regarding
the update process) beyond repair I decided to install a new one
instead of waiting for help.

I already made space at a certain of my harddisk and installed the
stage3 there.
Chrooting is one of the first steps to check, whether what I have
done so is valid.

But before deleting the old root and install the new one at its
place I would like to do a atmost identical boot into the new
root.

As far as I know the kernel only allows to boot into a partition
(instead of a directory on a partition containing the root
installation) and I am still using devices to boot from instead
of GPT.

Is there any neat trick to do a real boot into the new root via
the normal boot process (grub2) nevertheless ?

Cheers
Meino

[gentoo-user] Installing Gentoo from Gentoo...

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

since I have enough space on my harddisc and because there seems no
solution for my dev-python/six-problem I want to install a new gentoo.

I searched through different pages on the Gentoo site but only can
find those, which will install via "and now boot the iso
image" which I dont want.

Is it possible to install a bare system from a tar-ball, chroot into
that and do the installation work then?

And: Where can I find such a tar-bar (I only find *.iso files) ?

Just for the completeness and others who may read this thread and want
git as 
This was helpful:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/comments/3i141w/now_that_portage_is_using_git_how_do_i_git_pull/

With the decription right at the start of the thread the remaining

:) "bat guano crazy" ... I add that to my dictionary...BEST! (I am
no native speaker).

Do I need to add anything else to get the full funtionality ?
I read on the internet about GLSA and news will be not sent/synced when using 
git...
but I couldn't determine the date of that post, so it may be something
from the transistion times...

What's about that?

Hi Alan,

...last time I tried to file a bug report I quit as I saw the
interface of the bugtracker and the sheer amount of "best practice"
docs and -howtos/faqs.
I understand, that to keep out request like "I dont like to sync on
mondays"...but currently it seems to me, that many other reports
will be stopped there, too...

The Blender bugtracker is much more easier...and I dont think, 
that the blender institute will be overrun by reports like "I dont
like renders of mondays"...

Only my two cents...your currency may vary... ;)

Hi Dale,

thanks for your very helpful reply! :)

Not to have *.bak and such under.../repos.conf/... does the trick.

Would be nice, if emerge would only read files *.conf instead of
everything...

Have a nice weekend! :)

[gentoo-user] From rsync to git: sync-uri is invalid: https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

To switch from rsync to git I am following the steps described here
https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/comments/3i141w/now_that_portage_is_using_git_how_do_i_git_pull/

The last step I did was  "mv /usr/portage /usr/portage.old ; emerge
sync" and I got:

solfire:/usr>emerge --sync  
>>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/usr/portage'...
!!! sync-uri is invalid: https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git

As fas as I know, this is the uri Joost uses...

Hmmmwhy does portage thinks, this uri is wrong?
(...and how can I fix it?)

Compiling has started in doing its work currently,,,the culprit was a 
*~ file, which was a leftover of a previous edit it seems.

I will report back what finally will be acchieved.

Thanks a lot for all the help to all who have posted to this thread!

[gentoo-user] Again emerge represents a wise koan

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

I tried to decipher this, but I failed, since the six isn't there
actually...

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy 
">=dev-python/six-1.10.0[python_targets_pypy(-)?,python_targets_pypy3(-)?,python_targets_python2_7(-)?,python_targets_python3_4(-)?,python_targets_python3_5(-)?,-python_single_target_pypy(-),-python_single_target_pypy3(-),-python_single_target_python2_7(-),-python_single_target_python3_4(-),-python_single_target_python3_5(-)]".
(dependency required by "dev-python/setuptools-34.0.2-r1::gentoo" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "dev-python/pygments-2.1.1::gentoo" [installed])
(dependency required by "dev-python/docutils-0.12::gentoo" [installed])
(dependency required by "media-video/mpv-0.23.0::gentoo" [installed])
(dependency required by "@selected" [set])
(dependency required by "@world" [argument])

How can I get out of this?

Hi,

As far as I have recognized it, all my updates this evening failed
with:

/usr/include/linux/errno.h:1:23: fatal error: asm/errno.h: No such file or

I am running vanilla kernel 4.9.5 from fto.kernel.org...but yesterdays
upates were fine with the same kernel setup.

What happens here?

Hi Alexander, hi all!

thanks for your help! :)
The culprit was NOT missing guest additions
it was the display settings inside XFCE4... 
After I had set this to high values...TADA!...
more resolution!

Sometimes problems are quit too simple to be solved
with the first attempt...sigh :)

[gentoo-user] Virtualbox oddities...

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

I am relatively new to the world of virtualboxing (NOT
"virtual boxing" ! :)
so my question may be stupid (tm)...

I installed Virtualbox  5,1,12. and installed a Linux
distro into a hard disk drive image. Finally the image
boots and now I have a "Linux in a (vitual) box" NICE!

But: The size of the inner window fame of virtualbox  is always smaller than
what the Linux inside thinks is the size of the monitor.

So I never get the whole desktop...

Is it possible to fix this without reinstalling the complete Linux?

Thanks a lot for any resizing help :) in advance!

A! NOW I got it!
...I thought on a total different way of haveing 
another, implementation of palemoon itsself!!!

Q: How can I direct the emerged NoScript to be 
inserted into PaleMoon Profiles (and how to 
choose the correct profile) instead of being
inserted into firefox's profiles?
Or is it "download that file" only and I have to
load it into Palemoon by hand?

There are neither chicken nor eggsand especially there is no
internet connection  :

The iso boots fine and I can chroot into my base installation of my
usbstick.
Since online banking from the command line is somehow steam-punk-style
I wanted a graphical interface (to name onlu one example).
But I cannot pull the according package from the providing server,
since.no internet.
And there they were...my three problems ;)

But in the meanwhile I found a way to tell qemu what I want.

Now I boot my iso like this
sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu core2duo -cdrom  -boot order=d 
-usbdevice host: -m 1G --enable-kvm -machine q35,accel=kvm -device 
intel-iommu -net nic -net user

That's it -- but I am open for suggestions to improve this command --
for execution speed inside qemu for example... ;)

[gentoo-user] Configuring Firefox for more privacy - an attempt (results)

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

while trying to setup a better environment for online banking,
I wanted to make my daily Linux environment also more secure (in the
sense of keeping my digital footprint as small as possible).

I read some informations on the internet.
Conclusion: Its more private to hide in the mass as
to be the only one, who is able to keep all information
off the internet -- which is remarkable unique --
you are putting a label with your name right onto
your fronthead just before entering the digital world
of surveillance.

I did not tried to do the same with PaleMoon which
I did with Firefox since the amount of compatible plugins/extensions
for PaleMoon is quite small and I still cant use NoScript with PaleMoon.

Two sites I found on the internet, which are quite handy to
check what the current browser is submitting:

https://panopticlick.eff.org/
and for more detailed results:
https://anonymous-proxy-servers.net/en/help/security_test.html
(the presented results on that page are examples. Click
"Check it!" on the upper right corner of that page. If a
authetication dialog pops up, click it away and click
"Start test" on the page.)

The results of the modification and addons I added
are shown in the attached images.

I removed the informations of my ISP and IP-address.

If there is an interest of what I did I would be happy
to describe it...but there is a problem of the memory
footprint...
The most efficient way to transport the informations
of what is needed to tweak would be screenshots of
those addons setting dialog, which do not provide a
way to store the current settings into a file.

One step back, Alan...

I am booting an install-disk.iso, which needs a network to access the
packages from a server, which I want to be part of my usbstick.

The install-disk.iso should be prepared/configured to access the 
internet (everything else would be at least an error/bug...)...

So I assume, that qemu is not providing that...

[gentoo-user] Online Banking: How can I add an eth0-interface for a guest (linux) in qemu via commandline

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

for the purpose of online banking I want to install Linux on an USB-stick.

All attempts currently fail because the guest OS does not see
any internet connection / eth0

I tried this without success:
sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu core2duo -cdrom  -boot order=d 
-usbdevice host: -m 1G --enable-kvm -machine q35,accel=kvm -device 
intel-iommu -netdev user,id=mynet0,net=192.168.178.0/24,dhcpstart=192.168.178.9

The image boots successfully...but withoyt any connection to the
internet.

How can I acchieve what I want?

Hi Miroslav,

You have checked that yourself? ;)

ok...becaused I tried and failed: how can I revert "modified and
improved in some ways" to get back to "normal internet" and keep
the other improvements...

For example: Starting the torbrowser connect to the Tor-network before
the browser itsself is visible...where is that implemented?
(I dont want to dig into the source of the TB...)

[gentoo-user] Midi keyboard "Oxygene61", jackd/alsa and the rest of the band...

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

I want to setup the following things:
An midi keyboard called "Oxygene61"
(no, it was'nt previously owned by Mister Jarre...),
jackd/alsa (qjackctrl) and ZynAddSubFX.

The problem is: The keyboard shows up under
the "ALSA"-Tab of qjackctrl and it is alone there
with "Midi Through".

Zyns output shows up under the "AUDIO"-tab and
Zyns input is located under the "MIDI"-tab.

There is no "midi through" output port.

What do I have to do to connect the midi
keyboards outputs to the inputs of Zyn?

I am confused...

[gentoo-user] Linux error messages trying to mimic w*nd*ws ?

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

I want to burn an iso image onto a rewritable
CD (CD-RW) with k3b.

I loaded the empty CDRW medium into the burner.

I started k3b.

Top left it says:

"Empty CDRW-medium"

I pressed "Burn ISO".

A dialog pops up, asking for a ISO image
which did select.

Then it calculates the Hash and asked
me "Please insert an empty medium"

"Okay", I thought, "may erasing helps!"

I choosed "Erase CDRW". A dialog pops
up and offers "Start", which I pressed.

Instantly another error dialog pop up, which 
seems to be presented by another, foreign
OS...it looks so familiar, saying:

"Found medium: Empty CD-RW medium
Please insert rewritable CD medium into drive."

Lost?

What went so badly here?

Hi Wabe,

...yes, I know. That's why I had set up an dedicted US-Stick
(live-system, so nothing can be written to that stick, everything
else is RAM-based) and now I was looking for the browser in question.
Even if this is only important in the second place:

Hi Arve,

I changed both to values of your config and: TADA!
Conky is not longer crazy!
Thanks a lot! :)

Hi Arve,

The upgrade was from app-admin/conky-1.9.0-r3 =>
app-admin/conky-1.10.4. With the old version my config works
fine, The new version wants a new syntax (now lua) and a  converter
script was provided, which works fine beside some minor manual edits.

After that update the output of conky looks the same as before, but
the new feature (the crazy move) was added.

My config is as follows:

conky.config = {
background = true,
use_xft = true,
font = 'Sans:size=8',
xftalpha = 1,
update_interval = 1.0,
total_run_times = 0,
own_window = false,
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_type = 'desktop',
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
double_buffer = true,
minimum_width = 200, minimum_height = 200,
maximum_width = 200,
draw_shades = true,
draw_outline = false,
draw_borders = false,
draw_graph_borders = true,
default_color = 'white',
default_shade_color = 'black',
default_outline_color = 'white',
alignment = 'top_right',
gap_x = 12,
gap_y = 12,
no_buffers = true,
uppercase = false,
cpu_avg_samples = 2,
override_utf8_locale = false,

};

conky.text = [[

[gentoo-user] crazy conky

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

after successfully compiling conky again (omitting the nvidia related
stuff) another crazy """bug""" appears, which not present in the 
previous version:

My conky configuration puts a vertical "stripe" of horizontal bars and
values at the very right side of the destktop.
By entering an empty desktop (I am using openbox by the way), opening
a terminal window (for example) and moving this window left<->right 
and back and so forth moves the comky output down until it jumps back
in position and the game starts from the beginning...

Hmmm

Every application deserves its own freedom...but...

Any idea what's happening here?

Cheers
Meino

I searched for XNVCtrl with eix and didn't found anything related.
The internet says, it is part of nvidia-settings, but my
nvidia-settings are uptodate and no USE-flag seems to be guilty for
not builing that library.

How can I cirumvent that problem ?

Happy New Year!

Hi Alan,

I grepped-r through /etc for  PYTHON_TARGETS and found this:
make.conf:PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7"

Then I grepped-r rthrough /etc for pulseview and found:
./portage/package.use/pulseview:sci-electronics/pulseview-0.3.0 
python_single_target_python3_4 qt5

Nonetheless emerge pulseview still says:
Calculating dependencies \

!!! Problem resolving dependencies for sci-electronics/pulseview
  ... done!

!!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "sci-electronics/pulseview" has unmet 
requirements.
- sci-electronics/pulseview-0.3.0::gentoo USE="decode qt5 -qt4 -static" 
ABI_X86="64" PYTHON_TARGETS="-python3_4"

  The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
decode? ( python_targets_python3_4 )

  The above constraints are a subset of the following complete expression:
decode? ( python_targets_python3_4 ) exactly-one-of ( qt4 qt5 )

[1]10905 exit 1 emerge sci-electronics/pulseview

Which is overriding the setting via package.use/ here?

and as the masters spake again, the novice took
his pencil writing down on the flag of usage the letters:

/root>cat package.use/pulseview
sci-electronics/pulseview python_targets_python3_4

and did, what he did before
emerge sci-electronics/pulseview

And again, thunder could be heard and lightning was 
blinding the very eyes of the novice:

Calculating dependencies |

  The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
exactly-one-of ( qt4 qt5 )

  The above constraints are a subset of the following complete expression:
decode? ( python_targets_python3_4 ) exactly-one-of ( qt4 qt5 )

[1]10614 exit 1 emerge sci-electronics/pulseview

Irritated and somehow frustrated he stared up to the
dark clouds of portaged darkness...and wants to emerge
from this place...but the strong spell of the Linux environment
was holding him firmly and prevent him to jump through the open windows
of hell.

Oh how micro he felt and how soft his previously strong believe
became...

...and from the distance he could hear the penguins laughing...

Only my understanding of portage seems to be limited right now...

[gentoo-user] The Tao of Portage ... again

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

and the novice asked:
"Is there the Tao in rpm?"
The master replied: "...ues, there is the Tao in rpm."
"And is there the Tao in yum?"
"Yes, there is Tao in yym also...in every package manager
is the Tao...humble and silent they do all their work..."
The master added:
"...and Tao is in portage/emerge also...but of an higher order,
so dont try to understand, what it says..."

This time the novice was who shifted slightly and coughed...

Hmmm...

This time portage reached down from its ebony tower and spake to the
novice claiming:

sci-libs/libsigrokdecode

What is missing what by what ?
Is it possible to make these kind of output a little more readable...?
I am only a simple human being and my ideas for more and more clones
of "The Tao of Programming" just to add some humor are limited...

Hi Rich,

to confess everything ... this time
:)

The following output is base on setting "-systemd" and "-wayland"
in make.confs USE flag, "-t" was set also.

And here the master portage spoke words:

emerge -t --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y --tree --keep-going 
--backtrack=30 --exclude media-video/nvidia-settings --exclude app-misc/screen 
--exclude app-misc/ytree --exclude dev-python/sip --exclude app-shells/bash 
@world -v
  
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Hi Corbin,

h
The first run of emerge tells me to add the systemd USE flag to dbus.
I did that and ran into to problems I reported.
Then I removed that one and added -systemd to make.confs USE, which
in general seems to be a good idea per se.

As you suggested I listed my profiles and got this:
  [1]   default/linux/amd64/13.0 *
  [2]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/selinux
  [3]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop
  [4]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome
  [5]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd
  [6]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde
  [7]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde/systemd
  [8]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma
  [9]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma/systemd
  [10]  default/linux/amd64/13.0/developer
  [11]  default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib
  [12]  default/linux/amd64/13.0/systemd
  [13]  default/linux/amd64/13.0/x32
  [14]  hardened/linux/amd64
  [15]  hardened/linux/amd64/selinux
  [16]  hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib
  [17]  hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib/selinux
  [18]  hardened/linux/amd64/x32
  [19]  hardened/linux/musl/amd64
  [20]  hardened/linux/musl/amd64/x32
  [21]  default/linux/uclibc/amd64
  [22]  hardened/linux/uclibc/amd64

which looks a little weird to me, since [1] seems to be a more
"not specialized" choice (sorry, no native speaker) ... if 
not a wrong one. 
I want a desktop PC (running openbox...I dont like
session manager and desktops a such. I like window
based commandlines ;), wihout systemd, with openrc.

If I eix-sync/emerge that configuration I get this:

Why all these systemd blockers?

Hi Corbin,

I installed the newest layman.
After that, it said, that /etc/layman/layman.cfg needs updateing
and I let the update overwrite my previous attempts to get rid of
anythong fishy...
Afterwards I checked that file and it includes the settings, which
I manually added to my previous cfg (conf_type:repos.conf).

I run the layman-updater as recommended and added the overlay
"palemoon". It said: Already added...

I did a 'eix palemoon' and it does not found anything.
I did a 'eix | grep -i pale' and nothing appropiate matches...

H...

I am still confused...

Any idea?

Cheers
Meino
