It can, for example, if the major version of the kernel has changed but you
havent rebuild xorg since (I only recall having this issue once).
If you use newuse and changed-deps with emerge its probably less likely to

Ok, thank you. I will try to do it in a two weeks.

Ok, thank you. I still have FF version 5.8.0 (64 bit).
It is the latest stable version on amd64.

I suspect that is why changed-deps is looking at build-time dependencies. I don't see why you'd need to rebuild something if a build-time dependency changes, unless you really care about building with the latest build system (in which case you probably would want to rebuild after an automake update). -- Rich

I also had to boot with UEFI or no hardware decoding happened at all. Mine was old enough to give you a choice but video performance suffered in BIOS boot mode. Damn - this is in BIOS mode... Very odd that makes a difference. Nice find. When I got my celeron-based NUC I discovered that just because the CPU has some hardware offloading doesn't mean software will use it. :( This box is a NUC (NUC6i5SYB) that im using for a media PC. Mine's an older Celeron. It struggled with 1080p video. I found back then (maybe six years ago?) a thread stating Intel locks out some hardware in BIOS mode so performance will suffer. All I did at the time was grind my teeth and fight it to get it to boot in UEFI mode, and I could see the hardware offload on 1080p was working correctly. I see from your other reply it is a 10-bit file, that would explain why hardware offloading doesn't work - it's not supported on that CPU. Have you tried an 8-bit encoded file to see if the hardware offloading works? Dan

For Python (any version), use wheels: https://pypi.org/project/wheel/ You would have to clone/download the packages yourself, and then run `python setup.py bdist_wheel` for them. This also ensures that you preserve compiled versions of the packages. As time goes on, these older packages will not compile against newer GCC/Clang versions without patches. Most popular packages already have wheels, although they might not have every combination built. For anything else, if it doesn't need stuff like hardware 3D acceleration, use a VM that retains the packages you want. This also leads into... If it does need native hardware access, use chroot and/or disk images (that you would boot into separately). I prefer to try and create barriers between 'production' (what I use everyday) and one-off things like some old game that only supports 32-bit. You probably want to retain old versions of toolchains (GCC, binutils, Clang, LLVM, etc) in case you need to build anything (built with -mtune not -march). Use Gentoo's binpkg format for this with the `qpkg` command. These packages can also be deployed on non-Gentoo systems but YMMV as you look for dependencies. I tend to keep old hardware around for running old software. You might want to do the same. A lot of older (much older) x86 support is being added to MAME everyday. This may come in handy in the future to preserve older versions of Linux distros and apps/games. https://www.mamedev.org/releases/whatsnew_0215.txt (search 386) Andrew

What I'd like to find is a script block tool that will list all the scripts and allow me to block some but allow others. Believe it or not, I use to use adblock, a much older version, to do this. I'd tell adblock to list all the objects, sort them by type and then go through the scripts until I find the magic settings that allows the site to work but not run scripts I don't want. I've installed and tried quite a few script block tools but none of them seem to do what I want to do. I've even tried a few addons that only had a very few users, just hoping it would do this. Has anyone ever seen a script block tool, or some other tool with a different name, that works this way? I need a addon that allows me to refine and be selective on what scripts run and which ones are blocked. Thanks much to all. Dale :-) :-)

You should also heed the messages about unread news items and updating config files as these can also have a bearing on keeping your system running smoothly.

When you install a new kernel or compiler, portage generally does so in a separate slot, so you have access to both old and new versions. If you are no longer using the old version, you should let it go. okay, I'll give that a try. Thank you.

There's always GCC, which is going to take you most of the day to build and will probably require -j1 to keep you from running out of memory. But aside from that, the big ones are * dev-lang/rust: pulled in by anything that needs SVG support unless you unmask an old insecure version of librsvg or can tolerate half- broken SVG support. This takes over 24h, requires -j1, and gets worse every day because it bundles all of its (growing list of) dependencies. * LLVM: needed by rust, some video cards, and certain picky packages. This one is at least _legitimately_ large but has annoying point releases every once in a while that trigger a rebuild for little benefit. Again, expect ~24h. * net-libs/webkit-gtk: if you're avoiding firefox (which is huge, and requires rust, which is huge), then this is your best bet for a browser engine. Even if you don't use it directly, other apps like evolution (mail client) can pull it in. It too is huge, just not as bad as the others. This one finishes in something like 18h for me. Everything else that's packaged well and uses a sane programming language shouldn't give you much trouble.

There must be another way to let the user decide if they need it or not ! And yes, the compile time is one of the factors in not wanting it on my system. The second factor is a natural reaction toward feeling that I am forced to have it. Another reason is the growing collection of compilers and development tools and their build time (gcc, bin-utils, llvm, clang ... etc.) and now rust. Firefox itself takes a lot of time to build, and if rust is a must have, then maybe it is time for me to look into something else. I know there's firefox-bin, and if it doesn't need rust, then maybe it is an option.

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. -- Beware of Zombies. =O #EggCrisis #BlackWinter White is the new Kulak.

Re: [gentoo-user] Highlight certain packages being upgraded
Dale, On Saturday, 2023-07-08 03:33:30 -0500, you wrote: > ... > I was wondering. Is there a way to highlight certain packages that are > about to be upgraded? Example, I like to know when some larger packages > like Firefox, LOo, that excessively long qt package and a couple others > are going to be upgraded. I simply don't know whether or not build-time related highlighting is possible in native Portage. I retrieve that information by some script- ing, which involves sending the output of "emerge --ask" to a log file, and as soon as "emerge" asks whether to continue, running a script in another terminal window which analyses this log file using "qlop" and "gawk". But to really ban several buld-time hogs from my rig, I added "-clang" and "-llvm" to my global USE flags, added "dev-lang/rust" to directory "package.mask/", causing "dev-lang/rust-bin" to be used when necessary, and besides happily replaced "www-client/firefox" with its binary vari- ant. I also tried this with "app-office/libreoffice", but sadly its bi- nary variant does not support exporting to PDF, so I humbly returned to "app-office/libreoffice" which here needs some three hours to build. If you don't need this feature, I would recommend using its binary version, too. Luckily, I don't have many "Qt" packages as dependencies, the lon- gest build time of these is about 23 minutes here. Sincerely, Rainer

[gentoo-user] Can't compile media-libs/mesa - do I need gallium?
This system is headless, but I have x11-wm/xpra installed on it so I can run X11 apps remotely. Recent emerges of world have been failing at media-libs/mesa Currently I have mesa-13.0.5 installed; I have this problem with mesa-17.0.6 (current stable) and mesa-17.1.4 (latest in the tree when I tried this a few days ago). The error says I should post this if I need support: $ emerge -pqv '=media-libs/mesa-17.0.6::gentoo' [ebuild U ] media-libs/mesa-17.0.6 [13.0.5] USE="classic dri3 egl gallium gbm llvm nptl -bindist -d3d9 -debug -gles1 -gles2 -opencl -openmax -osmesa -pax_kernel -pic (-selinux) -vaapi -valgrind -vdpau -vulkan -wayland -xa -xvmc (-gcrypt%) (-libressl%) (-nettle%*) (-openssl%*)" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" VIDEO_CARDS="(-freedreno) -i915 -i965 -imx% -intel -nouveau -r100 -r200 -r300 -r600 -radeon -radeonsi (-vc4) (-vivante) -vmware" $ The build.log doesn't point me towards any obvious solutions, or maybe I just don't know how to read it.

You could copy the attached ebuild to a local overlay like
/usr/local/portage/media-gfx/blender
and copy the attached patch to
/usr/local/portage/media-gfx/blender/files
run
ebuild /usr/local/portage/media-gfx/blender/blender-.ebuild manifest
and then
emerge -av1 media-gfx/blender
This gives you the most recent version of blender.

Funny how I missed that but saw the out of space part. :/ I to used tab groups. I tested every tab group add on I could find. I'll go ahead and tell you now, none of them are like the old tab group add on. However, the closest I can find is simple tab group. Here's a link. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/?src=search I used to use tab utilities to help manage tabs. Sometimes I have a LOT of tabs open. I now use this. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/?src=search I might add, I also use profiles so that I can log into certain sites as more than one user. The new Firefox has a nifty new thing called containers that can help with that. Here is the best add on I could find for that. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/?src=search Instead of me typing, youtube some of those. It helps a LOT to see what others are doing. I recommend at least two videos each. More if you want to really get a wide range of ideas. The way I did this, I bookmarked everything and then started fresh after the upgrade. You may also want to look into conex add on if simple tab group isn't to your liking. I didn't like it but . . . Also Tree style tab has a group add on that works with it, wasn't for me but you may like it. On tmpfs, I have the following set to compile on the hard drive instead of tmpfs. This is my env file. www-client/firefox ../env/notmpfs.conf www-client/seamonkey ../env/notmpfs.conf app-office/libreoffice ../env/notmpfs.conf sys-devel/gcc ../env/notmpfs.conf dev-qt/qtwebengine ../env/notmpfs.conf dev-qt/qtwebkit ../env/notmpfs.conf sci-electronics/kicad ../env/notmpfs.conf Those are packages that over time, I've learned either requires to much ram or requires to much when being built with other packages. Usually, if it is only one, they can fit. However, any two of them ends up being compiled at the same time causes problems. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) P. S. Here is my USE flags for Firefox. It works well here. That said, I may could reset some of these given them major changes in recent Firefox. Just a suggestion if you should need it.

If not, well, then its utility drops off quickly. From what you're describing, my suggestion would be to simply only use it for initramfs generation and do the kernel make yourself. That shouldn't "stomp all over" anything except maybe a previous initramfs for the same kernel. Or else use dracut, it works decently for initramfs generation as well and lets you specify output location so you can copy things to /boot manually if you so desire. Or, depending on how complex your system actually is, just creating your own initramfs isn't terribly difficult. Since it seems like you're wanting explicit control over everything that might be the option that will keep you happiest in the long-run. Because initramfs generation is really the only complex part of the process.

[gentoo-user] --depclean wants to remove udev. What!?
Howdy all, Once a month or so, or when told to by a news item, I run emerge with the --depclean option. I look at the list in case there something there I want to keep or something that shouldn't be removed, like gcc or something. I ran it a bit ago and got back this: > >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: > > dev-lang/vala > selected: 0.52.10 > protected: none > omitted: 0.54.7 0.56.1 > > sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles > selected: 250 > protected: none > omitted: none > > dev-libs/rapidjson > selected: 1.1.0-r3 > protected: none > omitted: none > > sys-fs/udev > selected: 250 > protected: none > omitted: none > > sys-devel/clang > selected: 13.0.1 > protected: none > omitted: 14.0.4 > > sys-devel/clang-runtime > selected: 13.0.1 > protected: none > omitted: 14.0.4 > > sys-libs/compiler-rt > selected: 13.0.1 > protected: none > omitted: 14.0.4 > > sys-libs/compiler-rt-sanitizers > selected: 13.0.1 > protected: none > omitted: 14.0.4 > > sys-devel/llvm > selected: 13.0.1 > protected: none > omitted: 14.0.4 > > All selected packages: =sys-devel/clang-runtime-13.0.1 > =sys-libs/compiler-rt-13.0.1 =sys-libs/compiler-rt-sanitizers-13.0.1 > =sys-devel/clang-13.0.1 =dev-lang/vala-0.52.10 > =sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles-250 =sys-fs/udev-250 =sys-devel/llvm-13.0.1 > =dev-libs/rapidjson-1.1.0-r3 > > >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. > >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. > > Would you like to unmerge these packages? [Yes/No] The part that has me concerned is sys-fs/udev. There's another that I'm not sure about but that one caught my eye right away. I don't recall seeing anything posted on -dev about switching to something else or udev no longer being needed and being removed. I'm confused here. Isn't the virtual supposed to prevent this from being removed? Is this a portage change or did I mess something up somewhere? This is what I show here depending either on the virtual or udev itself. > root@fireball / # equery d sys-fs/udev > * These packages depend on sys-fs/udev: > virtual/libudev-232-r7 (!systemd ? > sys-fs/udev[abi_x86_32(-)?,abi_x86_64(-)?,abi_x86_x32(-)?,abi_mips_n32(-)?,abi_mips_n64(-)?,abi_mips_o32(-)?,abi_s390_32(-)?,abi_s390_64(-)?]) > virtual/udev-217-r5 (sys-fs/udev) > root@fireball / # equery d virtual/udev > * These packages depend on virtual/udev: > app-crypt/zulucrypt-5.5.0_pre20180223 (udev ? virtual/udev) > app-pda/usbmuxd-1.1.1 (virtual/udev) > dev-libs/libinput-1.20.1 (virtual/udev) > media-video/vlc-3.0.17.4 (udev ? virtual/udev) > net-misc/dhcpcd-9.4.1 (udev ? virtual/udev) > sys-block/f3-8.0 (extra ? virtual/udev) > sys-fs/cryptmount-5.3.3-r2 (udev ? virtual/udev) > sys-fs/udev-init-scripts-34 (>=virtual/udev-217) > sys-fs/udisks-2.9.4 (virtual/udev) > sys-kernel/dracut-055-r4 (virtual/udev) > sys-libs/libblockdev-2.26 (lvm ? virtual/udev) > sys-power/nut-2.7.4-r8 (virtual/udev) > sys-power/upower-0.99.17 (kernel_linux ? virtual/udev) > virtual/dev-manager-0-r2 (virtual/udev) > x11-misc/spacefm-1.0.6-r1 (virtual/udev) > xfce-base/thunar-4.16.11 (udisks ? virtual/udev) > xfce-extra/thunar-volman-4.16.0 (virtual/udev) > root@fireball / # This is the packages I have installed containing udev. > root@fireball / # equery list *udev* > * Searching for *udev* ... > [IP-] [ ] dev-libs/libgudev-237-r1:0/0 > [IP-] [ ] sys-fs/udev-250:0 > [IP-] [ ] sys-fs/udev-init-scripts-34:0 > [IP-] [ ] virtual/libudev-232-r7:0/1 > [IP-] [ ] virtual/udev-217-r5:0 > root@fireball / # Anyone have ideas on this?

Can you try emerging with -j1 in MAKEOPTS?
Sadly, the makefile[1] does not print out the mkdir commands (recipe
on
lines 202 thru 204), so it's not possible to spot in the output when
are
these being executed, but, from a quick glance (I might have
overlooked
something!), it sounds like the target that runs mkdir is not a
dependency of the targets that generate and link the object files
(line
262, line 273), so it'd be possible for this to happen just because
the second mkdir did not complete before the first g++ was checking
for
the directory.
[1] https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/blob/main/Makefile
That's a good idea. Just to test if that error happens to everybody, I
installed btop-1.2.12 here. Actually, it's kinda neat looking.
Anyway,
it installed fine here on my 8 core machine with normal -j settings,
-j9
I think. It could help using -j1 tho. Still, it installed here
without
any problems.
If -j1 doesn't work, maybe sync the tree again to see if maybe some
typo
got fixed or something else was wrong during last sync. That is rare
nowadays but when grasping at straws, grab what you can.
Oh, my google search earlier didn't yield anything either. This seems
to be a odd failure.

Shades of FUD methinks. http://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=lvm or if you like a bit of history: Not all of these are LVM, some are only shown because they're related to llvm (Which is a virtual machine), but lets ignore those all-together :) I know, I am just too lazy to do a more 'sophisticated' search. On the first page, at first glance, I don't see any serious ones that are only LVM. The boot-issue was caused by genkernel not being up-to-date with name-changes. http://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=ALL+lvm there you go. See above see above. But if you look only at the lvm bugs there are enough examples of bad kernel/lvm/whatever interaction. It does not matter that it was baselayout or another update that stopped lvm from working. If your system does not boot it does not boot - lvm seems to make that more likely. I like this one: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350455 Looks like an issue with heavy I/O, affecting the LVM layer trying to lock the filesystem. But I wonder if he's not running into a known issue (which can easily be worked around) where pvmove has a memory-leak with the reporting. (eg. the bit that checks the progress every 5 seconds, reducing that to every 5 minutes significantly reduces that) However, I do believe this (mem-leak) was fixed. Am curious what the result will be of that. Please note, I do not run masked (~amd64) kernels. oh, even better, a memory leak. pvmove even. I remember one bug where a commenter mentioned that pvmove nuked all data on a non-lvm partition. Great stuff. It does not matter that you might not run 'unstable' kernels. Some people like to be a bit more update for very valid reasons (drivers). With lvms history that doesn't look so good.

The concept of writing an FEA or CFD from scratch, with CUDA is laughable, I just don't have the time to learn CUDA, research the field, small displacement, large displacement, dynamics, material nonlinearities, write the code, and then most importantly benchmark it to make sure it's actually correct. This is all bearing in mind that I have 20+ years experience as a C/C++ technical software developer, including FEA and CFD. I'll actually be using Code Aster, an open source FEA code that runs under Linux. Sorry if I sound narky, but compilers is the subject at hand, not how to write FEA code. Anyway, thanks for answering, Andrew

Obviously there is much web trawling to be done to find what other people are saying as well. Any thoughts, greatly appreciated, Andrew Lowe Think CUDA Yes. And as a convenient side-effect, it offers a great excuse to upgrade your video card with some regularity. The performance of mid-grade and high-grade video cards continues to improve rapidly. Sorry, can't do that, I'm using epic, http://tinyurl.com/83l5o3z which currently ranks at 151 in the top 500 list :) It's amazing how fast this list changes, 6 months ago, this machine was at 107 and 6 months before that 87. That does change things a bit. I don't know Epic's structure or their upgrade plans, but if you're confident it's not going to have GPGPU capabilities, then CUDA and OpenCL are less useful for you. OpenCL, at least, still handles per-CPU and per-node job dispatching, though. And that's still likely to be useful for performing on huge matrices. To answer your original question: No, I haven't done much with anything other than gcc on Gentoo. What you *should* do is grab each compiler (trial versions, if necessary) and test them to find which gives you the best results. It's my understanding PhD programs involve getting things done right, not so much quickly or easily. Best to be methodical about it. -- :wq
[gentoo-user] udev upgrade and baselayout 2.2
I've finally got my system settled enough to look into teh scary udev upgrade. Especially I have all data dirs off in their own LVM partitions (/home, /encfs, /usr/portage, /var/spool), and a backup of the most recent bootable and runable /, so I can boot back to that if I need to and still get email etc. while working oout what I screwed up.

It is true that it does things that don't work if /usr isn't mounted, but eudev does as well, since it is basically the same code. Who else is there to blame? We are continually being told that a separate /usr is broken, as though this were some unfortunate act of insert your deity here, much like an earthquake. This gets patronising really quickly. (Please note, I'm NOT blaming you here. I appreciate that you're as much victim as Dale or me or anyone else round here.) It's evolution. Linux has for years been moving in this direction, now it has reached the point where the Gentoo devs can no longer devote the increasing time needed to support what has now become an dge case. So the solution is to give users one MONTH to prepare? Why not 6 months, or better, a year? What for gods sake is the rush??? one month to run genkernel is more than enough. And that this point was approaching was clear - what, 2 years ago? At least? Where are the links/pointers to the INTERNAL discussions of this decision? I seriously want to know. If gentoo devs are not willing to provide a 'paper trail' for how this decision was arrived at, and let others judge their decisions based on the merits of their arguments, then what does that say about their true motivations/intentions? marc.info -- gentoo-dev Again, I don't have a problem necessarily with what is being decided (no separate /usr without an initramfs), my problem is with the implementation - giving us one MONTH before we can expect possible breakage with each and every update. No, you already can expect possible breakage with each and every update. In 4 weeks they will stop listening to your complains. The other HUGE thing that worries me, and has me seriously considering switching to FreeBSD NOW, is, maybe there really is a secret, underlying ulterior motive to force both systemd AND an initramfs for everyone in ALL use cases. If that is the case, then say so now, and give those of us who do not want this advanced notice, and I'll just plan on setting my gentoo box to never update on Nov 1, and start working on learning FreeBSD and if necessary, pay someone to help me migrate services to it. so do it. You will be a lot happier there. I am sure. With forcing llvm etc

[gentoo-user] Excitement...
...and disappointment... Hello list, A month or so ago I asked here for recommendations for a graphics card to do mucho GPU calculations, as I was buying a new system. Well, two weeks ago today the new system arrived. It took me five whole days to find a way to get it to boot, what with its UEFI BIOS and its Radeon R9 M295X Mac Edition display card. I was pretty firmly stuck until Neil B. reminded me of gummiboot. That did the trick. I couldn't get UEFI to run grub at all here (nothing very grand about it in this case). Then the display card. Well, after another 10 days of googling and trial and error, yesterday I arrived at a setup that works. Here are the versions I needed to specify: # cat /etc/portage/package.keywords ~dev-libs/libclc-0.1.0_pre20150305 ~sci-misc/boinc-7.4.42 sys-apps/nvme-cli sys-boot/gummiboot ~sys-devel/clang-3.6.2 ~sys-devel/llvm-3.6.2 sys-firmware/amdgpu-ucode ~sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.4.6 ~x11-drivers/xf86-video-amdgpu-1.0.1 - That's the excitement. The disappointment is with KMail. The reason I bought the new box is that the old one had developed a hardware fault, somewhere in the PCI region of the chipset I think. Down the years I've been accumulating e-mails that fault appears to have damaged a lot of e-mails to the point that KMail couldn't handle them and threw wobblers all over the place. So now I end up with empty mail folders. I have archives from 19 March and before which I daren't import, but everything between then and last Friday has gone. So, if anyone addressed anything to me in the last month, I'm afraid I can't answer you - sorry. - Going back to the GPU calculations, I'm quite certain that I couldn't ever have succeeded with any other distro than Gentoo, with portage's uncanny ability to winkle out the most obscure collisions and dependencies, so I'm very happy to echo Alan Mackenzie's praise for it. Well done, our devs, and thank you! -- Rgds Peter

I think you got a conflict that's not being resolved and not being pulled by the second command. What happends if you add --with-bdeps=y --backtrack=30? Also try without the -p (I think it runs more code like autounmask etc so it may cause the extra output). Is clang/llvm stuff still popping up on the list of skipped packages? I remember a similar conflict around the time of your first post and it turned out that the latest stable clang blocks the latest stable libclc. So the tree is (still) broken. For most users it's not a problem because portage pulls the right version of clang but if you have clang on your world file it updates it to the latest and you get those conflicts. I fixed it by masking all versions of clang >3.6 -- Fernando Rodriguez

Dnes is the king of minimalist here, so when he gives advise > realize it has decades of experimentation to get to where he is on > minimization. Not exactly "decades". I first started linux in late 1999 or early 2000. The minimalist approach was a side-effect of me being cheap. Even though I have a newer machine as my "hot backup" waiting in the wings, I want to run my older machine into the ground first. 10 years ago I was running a 450 mhz pentium3 with 256 megabytes of ram. Today I'm running a 2008 Dell with Core2 Duo and 3 gigs of ram today. I have a newer i6 with 8 gigs of ram as the hot backup. Running an older limited machine forces you to optimize. The Gentoo USE flags give me the control to do the utmost minimization. I run the plain default/linux profile, and ICEWM as my WM and no "desktop environment" (as per my sig). The less attack surface, the better. Do not run the Flash plugin or the Java plugin. If you absolutely have to do so, use it inside a VM (e.g. QEMU). I have an aggressive handcrafted iptables firewall. In addition, my little LAN sits behind a NAT-ing router, and I disable UPNP. That covers my approach to security. I run mostly stable, except where an app I want/need is only unstable. Gentoo currently defaults to gcc-5.4.0. I've enabled 6.3.0. I have to enable ICEWM 1.3.12-r1. The regular stable version built under gcc 6.3.0 segfaults 1 or 2 seconds after starting. I used to run with USE="-* blah blah blah". I no longer do that, but I aggressively disable USE flags, until something breaks, then I back off. My current USE line (it's actually one long line)... USE="X apng bindist ffmpeg jpeg opengl png szip truetype x264 x265 xorg threads webp -acl -berkdb -caps -cracklib -crypt -filecaps -gallium -gdbm -graphite -gstreamer -iconv -introspection -ipc -iptables -ipv6 -libav -llvm -manpager -nls -openmp -pam -pch -sendmail -tcpd -udev -udisks -unicode -xinerama" Some of the above is over-ridden in package.use. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications

And it was successful! I only had perl blocking everything, so once I sledgeammered that update, it was able to calculate its dependency list, and it rebuilt all 500 installed packages (well, less the ones I excluded) successfully - no failed packages or anything, while upgrading as needed. It did take almost 30 hours though. When trying to get perl blockers to resolve I even tried --backtrack=200 and it still failed. That was try 5 or 6 and at that point I was getting annoyed and tried the sledgehammer technique. Dan

It essentially reduced to the point that although most Gentoo users are still going to want "suid" (in the absence of systemd/elogind or another fancy login manager), Portage should provide good, non-anti-pattern, secure defaults for _new_ users, however much of an inconvenience it may be for existing users who run X with `startx`. I generally agree with them on this point; "suid" is horribly outdated, however ubiquitous (especially for minimalist systems). https://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org/msg89536.html -- Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] ncurses; I think I wrecked my fresh install
The previous couple of attempts, the install on my XPS 8940 died on rebuilding ncurses when I copied over my full USE string from my current desktop and updated world. This time around, I did it in pieces. I added some variables, and emerged update, rinse-lather-repeat.. This time the problem happened when I added... "-pch -roaming -sendmail -spell -tcpd -udev -udisks -unicode -upower -xinerama" to the USE string. The ncurses build died, followed immediately by bash. Grub doesn't seem to work properly, i.e networking and other bootup stuff did not take effect. I booted from the install USB, and set up ssh. When I reach the chroot part, I get... livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --types proc /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --make-rslave /mnt/gentoo/sys livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --make-rslave /mnt/gentoo/dev livecd /mnt/gentoo # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash /bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfow.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Here's my USE string, which works fine on two other machines...

Re: [gentoo-user] Controlling emerges
So I feel I should add my own 2 cents to the pileor possibly 25 cents due
to inflation.
PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND="ionice -c 3 -p \${PID}"
PORTAGE_SCHEDULING_POLICY="idle"
Those 2 together in make.conf have had a noticeable effect on multitasking for
me. I still wouldn't recommend allocating all of your cores to emerge, but
emerging with idle priority keeps your tasks a little higher up in the mix.

Maybe take a look at "cpulimit" out of the repos. I used to use it on one of
my low-power systems to control how much load the various compilers were
allowed to put on the system so that it could keep doing other tasks.
I think there are some other, similar tools as well.

At the distribution level, sure, but the Gentoo package maintainers don't necessarily have the authority to control what upstream software developers are doing. I continue to find it perplexing how many people on this list hold responsible the Gentoo packaging for the decision-making of upstream developers. Significant core components of Firefox are written in Rust, and have been for years. Whether or not this is a good thing is in the eyes of the beholder, but it has nothing to do with the Gentoo packaging -- it's a Mozilla decision. > > And yes, the compile time is one of the factors in not wanting it on > my system.

But do be aware that 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. An expected failure rate "on the order of" 0.3% means you expect it to be no less than 0.03% and no more than 30%... So I think you're probably already within that envelope. :D LMP

Can anyone suggest better > values to suit my 24 threads and 64GB RAM? First, keep in mind that --jobs=16 + -j16 can result in up to 256 (16*16) tasks running at once. Of course, that is worst case and most of the time you'll have way less than that. Keep in mind that you need to consider available RAM and not just total RAM. Run free under the conditions where you typically run emerge and see how much available memory it displays. Depending on what you have running it could be much lower than 64GB. Beyond that, unfortunately this is hard to deal with beyond just figuring out what needs more RAM and making exceptions in package.env. Also, RAM pressure could also come from the build directory if it is on tmpfs, which of course many of us use. Some packages that I build with either a greatly reduced -j setting or a non-tmpfs build directory are: sys-cluster/ceph dev-python/scipy dev-python/pandas app-office/calligra net-libs/nodejs dev-qt/qtwebengine dev-qt/qtwebkit dev-lang/spidermonkey www-client/chromium app-office/libreoffice sys-devel/llvm dev-lang/rust (I use the rust binary these days as this has gotten really out of hand) x11-libs/gtk+ These are just packages I've had issues with at some point, and it is possible that some of these packages no longer use as much memory today. -- Rich

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.

Therefore it is usually a 'good idea' to emerge a later kernel when this happens, even if we're talking about a backup kernel. Last week I came upon a similar problem on an old system I was trying to migrate to profile 23.0, only this happened not with my backup but with the running kernel. This PC had not been updated for 5-6 months. It's resource constrained and I didn't want to spend many days updating most of its deprecated packages, only to have to re-emerge them as part of the profile migration. I can't recall if it was the same kernel as John's. During the migration I came across some package (llvm?) which required a more up to date kernel to be able to emerge. This forced me to upgrade the kernel first, before I could continue with the migration. I'm mentioning this since the utility of a backup kernel would be limited when you can't use it to run your software. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[gentoo-user] emerge -DuN @system vs. emerge -DuN @world
Hi, as far as I understand updating @system first should be safer and easier to perform than updating @world directly. It was mention that especially after updating the software after a somewhat long period this might solve conflicts. I often do experience different and wonder what the reason might be. The example today would work in both ways but @system shows problems which @world does not have. Mostly those problems seem to be bigger to the point where @system does not work but @world does or manual package by package uninstalling and or emerging is required. Normally I run emerge -Dua --reinstall changed-use @world but N fits better in the subject line. Anyway just an observation. Regards emerge -DupN @system These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done!

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: What to do about openssl
From https://www.php.net/manual/en/openssl.requirements.php PHP 7.1-8.0 requires OpenSSL >= 1.0.1, < 3.0. PHP >= 8.1 requires OpenSSL >= 1.0.2, < 4.0. So it looks like you need to upgrade php to 8.1 I've a similar problem with my server requiring php 7.2 and trying to figure out the upgrade path for all php based sites/apps is a pain.

Before anyone says Why bother, XXX compiler is only 1 - 2% faster than gcc, in the context of the work I'm doing this 1 - 2% IS important. What I'm looking for is any feedback people may have on ability to compile the Gentoo environment, the ability to change compilers easily, gcc-config or flags in make.conf, as to whether the compiler/linker can use the libraries as compiled by gcc on a standard gentoo install and so on. Obviously there is much web trawling to be done to find what other people are saying as well. Any thoughts, greatly appreciated, Andrew Lowe Think CUDA Mark Sorry. Meant to include this reference: $15 on Kindle. Reads great on Kindle for PC. http://www.amazon.com/CUDA-Example-Introduction-General-Purpose-ebook/dp/B003VYBOSE/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8qid=1332160431sr=8-4 I'm sorry but I'm doing a PhD, not creating a career in Academia. The concept of writing an FEA or CFD from scratch, with CUDA is laughable, I just don't have the time to learn CUDA, research the field, small displacement, large displacement, dynamics, material nonlinearities, write the code, and then most importantly benchmark it to make sure it's actually correct. This is all bearing in mind that I have 20+ years experience as a C/C++ technical software developer, including FEA and CFD. I'll actually be using Code Aster, an open source FEA code that runs under Linux. Sorry if I sound narky, but compilers is the subject at hand, not how to write FEA code. If you really care about a 1-2% difference, you should not be dismissing GPGPU-accelerated code so easily! If the tools you seem to have already settled on don't support it, you should either use different tools, or correct the ones you're working with. The lead Python guy had an astute observation (which I'll generalize) the other day; for 99% of your program, it doesn't matter what programming language you use.

By better known, I'm referring to gcc, Intel, llvm, pathscale. My situation is that I've just started my PhD which requires me to do Finite Element Analysis, FEA, and Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD, and I want to find the best compiler for the job. Before anyone says Why bother, XXX compiler is only 1 - 2% faster than gcc, in the context of the work I'm doing this 1 - 2% IS important. What I'm looking for is any feedback people may have on ability to compile the Gentoo environment, the ability to change compilers easily, gcc-config or flags in make.conf, as to whether the compiler/linker can use the libraries as compiled by gcc on a standard gentoo install and so on. Obviously there is much web trawling to be done to find what other people are saying as well. Any thoughts, greatly appreciated, Andrew Lowe Think CUDA Mark Sorry. Meant to include this reference: $15 on Kindle. Reads great on Kindle for PC. http://www.amazon.com/CUDA-Example-Introduction-General-Purpose-ebook/dp/B003VYBOSE/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8qid=1332160431sr=8-4 I'm sorry but I'm doing a PhD, not creating a career in Academia. The concept of writing an FEA or CFD from scratch, with CUDA is laughable, I just don't have the time to learn CUDA, research the field, small displacement, large displacement, dynamics, material nonlinearities, write the code, and then most importantly benchmark it to make sure it's actually correct. This is all bearing in mind that I have 20+ years experience as a C/C++ technical software developer, including FEA and CFD. I'll actually be using Code Aster, an open source FEA code that runs under Linux. Sorry if I sound narky, but compilers is the subject at hand, not how to write FEA code. Anyway, thanks for answering, Andrew Nahh, be as snarky as you like as long as you don't really mean it personally. My experience with CUDA, and I'm not a programmer, is that there is a fairly steep learning curve. However changing C compilers will get you maybe 5%. Changing to CUDA will get you 30,000%, assuming a mid-high range CUDA card and that you can parallel-ize FEA. I did a little Googling and it seems that FEA is a pretty common CUDA topic so I don't think at the outset that you'd find yourself all alone. Good luck whatever you do and know that I didn't mind the response at all! :-) Cheers, Mark
[gentoo-user] kwin opengl compositing w/ nouveau?

I just ran 'startx' on my machine for the first time in a dog's age

Remember when Bill Gates showed how IE.EXE was an eensy-weensy-teensy-itty-bitty little program that you could easily remove? But he failed to mention that it was merely an interface to a whole bunch of Windows libraries that were continuously running in the background. Similarly, gnumeric has been adding hard dependancies on various GNOME libraries over time. I try to keep a minimal profile. Every so often, stuff like dbus, harfbuzz, ghostscript, etc, etc, have been added as hard dependancies to gnumeric. I'd be willing to contribute money to developers who would fork gnumeric, and move it off of GTK and on to FTLK (Fast Light Tool Kit) http://www.fltk.org/index.php and get rid of hard dependancies on a bunch of GNOME stuff. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications

Profiles are supposed to provide a decent baseline setup for a given scenario or usage case. Then you fine-tweak package.use to get exactly what you want. Well that's the theory. In practice profiles get confusing because they inherit from all many things.

I tried having more than one file and I did not like that one bit. Sometimes the same line can fit in a different package depending on what pulls in a package and needs a certain USE flag setting. If I need to know if a package is listed in package.use, I have one file to look at. I don't have to spend a lot of time looking in the file I think it should be in only to find it in another file for some other reason than the current one. Yep, I tried that road. It's not for me.

I'm not sure how to handle multiple nvidia cards properly and assign them to different tasks. My best guess is using nvidia-settings. I guess one GPU is used for X11, the other is not. So, if you want one application to use the idle GPU, it may not be initialized. I think this is when you use persistenced: https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/driver-persistence/ > GL_VERSION= 4.5.0 NVIDIA 381.09 > GL_VENDOR = NVIDIA Corporation > GL_EXTENSIONS = GL_AMD_multi_draw_indirect GL_ARB_arrays_of_arrays [...snip...] I guess this is all not Gentoo related. Your graphics stack looks correct. I guess that FreeCAD chokes because of your special setup with two GPUs. You may want to contact their support forum. Everything related to the basic configuration looks correct. -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred.

The basic Unix mechanism needs twice ram. I disagree. It's inherent in the design of the thing. Whether linux no longer uses the Unix mechanism, or it's had the hell optimised out of it I don't know. Either way, machines today get by on precious little swap - that's fine. Historic note - the early linux 2.4 vanilla kernels enforced the twice ram rule - a lot of people who didn't read the release notes got nasty shocks when their machines locked up the moment they touched swap ... I disagree because I ran 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, and 2.6 kernels without swap being twice the ram or greater. Swap did get used. They did not crash when accessing swap. And okay my machine only has 16GB of ram (and 64GB of swap - 32GB each across two disks), but I'm pretty sure that if I followed your guidelines, an emerge would crash my system as the tmpfs ran out of space ... I doubt it. I've routinely done emerges on machines with < 16 GB of memory and 2 GB of swap. Including llvm, clang, gcc, rust, Firefox and Thunderbird. I routinely do an emerge -DuNe @world on a VPS with 1 GB of memory and 1 GB of swap. It works just fine. If I want to speed things up I enlarge the VPS to 2 GB of memory and 1 GB of swap. Granted, it doesn't try to compile things like Firefox and Thunderbird, thus Rust. And those people who wrote your guidelines? I just looked again, and Red Hat has lowered their recommendation from what I remember from a few years ago. Link - Table 15.1. Recommended System Swap Space - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/storage_administration_guide/ch-swapspace#tb-recommended-system-swap-space RAM ≤ 2 GB = swap should be 2 times the amount of RAM 2 < RAM ≤ 8 GB = swap should be equal to the amount of RAM 8 < RAM ≤ 64 GB = swap should be at least 4 GB 64 < RAM = swap should be at least 4 GB Are they the same clueless people who believe the twice ram rule is pure fiction? I don't consider Red Hat's official statement to be "clueless". Seeing as how their rules include "twice the RAM" in the first condition, I don't think they thought it was pure fiction. (As I said, it is *historical* *fact*). I question the validity of that statement. And why should I believe people who tell me the rule no longer applies, if they can't tell me WHY it no longer applies? I'd love to be enlightened - why can't anybody do that? I'm not saying you should believe people. My opinion is that the 2 x RAM no longer applies because systems don't utilize swap space. As such it's a waste of disk space to dedicate 2 x RAM to swap. Look at the output of free. Or better, run sysstat / SAR and watch swap usage. How much does your system use? How much disk space to you want to dedicate to something that's likely hardly being touched. Do what you want. But be prepared to put the shoe on the other foot and explain why you think that you should have 2 x RAM on each disk.
Re: [gentoo-user] Firefox and script block tool/addon
Hi, I'm checking that as I type. It may not solve all my problems but it may certainly help. Some scripts make one CPU core go to 100% and locks up the tab the script is running on. Firefox, to its credit, is sane enough to allow other tabs to work tho. At least it doesn't completely lock up the whole thing. Good code I guess. ;-) Anyway, it does that for about 30 seconds or so, I assume it times out or something. Still, very annoying and worthy of just blocking the script completely. It appears clang is disabled. If I read that correctly, that is the ideal setting.

[gentoo-user] BugDay - October 3rd - Everyone is welcome to join!
# Gentoo BugDay Come join us over at #gentoo-bugday on freenode IRC on the first Saturday of every month to squash bugs and make Gentoo a bit more awesome. You don't need to be a Gentoo developer or even a coder to help us on BugDay. Our next BugDay is on 3rd Oct 2020 and we have started making preparations for selecting and prioritizing bug categories for that day. ## Bug categories Our categories for this bugday include - Adding and improving documentation on the wiki The wiki is a *very* important documentation platform for Gentoo. We exchange our knowledge there and the wiki needs a lot of care in many areas. This is a very nice topic as a lot of people can help us do improvements based on their daily usage of software. Someone who uses awesome or i3-gaps or xmonad surely has some tidbits that they will be able to contribute to their wiki pages. People familiar with virtualization can help us improve our libvirtd, virt-manager and a host of other pages. There are no topics off limit for this and we really would like more people to join in. - Patches for packages failing with -fno-common Given the addition of GCC-10 and LLVM/Clang-10 to our repositories, there has been a whole set of softwares which have been bugging out while compiling. This is not a coincidence and we would love to know from our users which softwares have managed to fix the bugs upstream but we still haven't patched them. For developers who have found workarounds and simple fixes, we would love to get your answers and incorporate them. ## For developers Even if you have never coded for Gentoo you can help us with your knowledge. It's always valuable to have your experience to guide us. Things to help with - Find a related bug that piques your interest. - Look at upstream if this has been reported to them. - If not, make a bug report to the upstream developers. - If they have already seen it, check if they have managed to patch it. - If not, try to gather as much information as you can about the bug so that it may help the developer tackling it. - Alert us at #gentoo-bugday and interact with us to see if this can be squashed. ## For users Users are one of the most important part of Gentoo and this is the occasion for them to talk the developers and make your bugs looked at. Take a look at the categories for BugDay at the poll link and the final BugDay wiki page - Find a related bug that you have experienced and has not been fixed yet - Try to see how it can be reproduced. - The related bug reports have been ignored for months you say? Come poke us about these bugs at #gentoo-bugday on the freenode IRC and we will begin squashing any of those that are pending. ## Whats in it for me? Bragging rights, permanently being listed on the charts of BugDay, sense of entitlement. Any person who helps us solve valid problems will be given the honor of being listed on the page. Even users who help related bugs and find links which make our problem solving easier will be put on a pedestal. ## Contributors Thanks a lot to jstein@ for being the gracious organizer and making sure everything goes smoothly. And special thanks to contributors who have worked on our previous BugDays. Past contributors and bug days: - https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Bugday_2020-06-06 - https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Bugday_2020-07-04 - https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Bugday_2020-08-01 - https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Bugday_2020-09-05

Well, I read the philosophy thing where it said it wasn't comparable with gentoo ... Gentoo is a source-based distro for people who want things to mostly just work like with the binary distros, but also want to do customizations and optimizations easily. Unfortunately, I can be a bit gruff and not suffer fools gladly. Having had a run in with the bug-wranglers over an issue that completely screwed up my boot (nothing to do with gentoo, admittedly), but that exposed idiotic decisions / other bugs in genkernel, I think I want to look elsewhere. Let's take a 2x2 truth table - do I have a boot partition, do I have "automount boot" switched on. Three of the four options stomp all over the live boot partition. The fourth fatal errors with "wah wah why won't you let me stomp all over your live boot partition". The REASON I don't want it stomping all over that partition is the last time a distro (SUSE) did it, it completely trashed my boot leading to several hours debugging and messing about in the systemd rescue shell to get it bootable again. If anybody is going to trash my live boot, I'd rather it was me, not an Artificial Stupidity software manager. The wranglers' solution was simply to "use the no-install option" - except that that promptly crashed with "can't find input files". Huh? Changing the OUTPUT destination makes the INPUT files disappear? wtf? Source Mage is a distro for Linux From Scratch folks who are tired of maintaining their own package manager. They don't change*anything* from upstream in their packages, (which makes it really easy to keep "updated" on their end) but the package manager does have a lot of nice features for easily storing whatever patches and configuration changes you choose to make in order to get it running on your system. Well, if I have to get into maintaining emerge to get it to behave sensibly, I might as well try somewhere else and see if it's an improvement. If you've always wanted to try LFS but tracking package files and patches and configs and so-forth seemed daunting then it's definitely an awesome set of tools. Otherwise it's kind of a lot of work... Well, given that I've got oodles of space (just added 3TB to my mirror to give myself a 5TB raid-5 /home lvm, along with 1TB root/ lvm, I've got plenty of space to play with distros. And I was shocked - 32GB of DD4 was just over £100, so my new system now has 11TB of hard drive, 32GB of RAM, and a hefty 4-core Ryzen processor :-) And the bits from shop screw-up mean the new raid testbed I'm building will be a reasonably hefty system too - 4x1TB drives for hammering with raid, 3TB backup drive, 16GB ram - just the thing for learning to kernel program :-) And seeing as I won't care about trashing it by mistake, I'll be playing with KVM, and all those other fancy technologies to try and run multiple distros stacked on top of each other :-) Cheers, Wol
[gentoo-user] Seamonkey and Firefox clash over rust version.
Howdy, I've been dealing with this for a while. When I do my updates, it either omits seamonkey because the rust version installed is to new or downgrades rust.

Re: [gentoo-user] Remove rust completely
Cal, like I said, gentoo has always been about choices. I am not blaming anyone for anything. At the end of the day, it is open source, and the work done by the community is highly appreciated. I am sorry it was understood the other way around. The frustration level grows when I have too many build tools that take forever to build, and there's no way around it. And yes, like Grant said, a choice would be to just go with firefox-bin if not rust-bin.

You can have both a generic MAKEOPTS in make.conf, which suits your base case of emerge operations and will not cause your PC to explode when combined with EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, as well as package specific MAKEOPTS in package.env to finely tune individual package requirements. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

A "backup kernel" is, in my opinion, only useful as a fall-back in case the system won't boot with a new kernel. But, once it booted with the new kernel correctly, there is no reason to actually keep the old kernel. -- Joost

OK, I will do this, go to the next version of nextcloud which I need to do anyway and see if that will fix things up. I still wonder why I need to emerge the whole world file, but I will see what happens. Thanks everyone. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?
