On nvme1n1 partition 1 is 1gig for both EFI and /boot (with a minimal .iso available via grub as a rescue option if needed). With regards to windows making a tiny EFI partition on drive 0, i dont think I understand the issue. I'm thinking I can either; 1. Use the EFI boot loader to choose between Windows and Linux, as you mention above, with the small downside of having two boot loaders/timeouts, or 2. Use EFI to default to grub on the second drive with a very short timer (so its like its not even there) and put an entry for Windows in the grub config I will probably try #1 first, then update the grub config to boot windows and confirm that works, then change to #2. Let me know if i'm misunderstanding anything. Thanks!

Re: [gentoo-user] [offtopic] dual boot Windows 11 / Linux
Also if you've booted your live media in legacy mode then efibootmgr might not do anything because efivars are not accessible in this mode. That could explain the situation when you have grubx64.efi but no boot entry. So check that you're booting live system in UEFI too.

Some UEFI firmware is buggy and may not pick up a new OS bootloader in the ESP, at least not pick it up initially. In these cases temporarily changing a UEFI setting to nudge the firmware to parse the ESP for boot menu entries will help. So /should/ running the efibootmgr to create an entry with grub's efi image. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: [gentoo-user] [offtopic] dual boot Windows 11 / Linux
If it's a similar laptop I assume you have grub2 installed in EFI mode. Check if you have grubx64.efi in your EFI partition (usually //EFI/gentoo/). Also check if you have efi boot entry for grub with efibootmgr utility. if grub-install with EFI target was used on a new system it should call efibootmgr to add a Gentoo entry in UEFI). If you are trying to install grub in legacy mode then look in UEFI settings if CSM or legacy boot is enabled. But since you have win11 and you want dual boot I don't think that it's what you want. Os-prober will not pick up EFI win11 installation if grub is installed in legacy and you can't install win11 in legacy since Microsoft made win11 UEFI-only.

Thank you Neil for prompting my brain to work in a different direction. :-) (As it happens I've experienced some DNSSEC issues on a router following a buggy firmware update, but this would be seriously O/T for this M/L.) I have waited for minutes to see if SDDM will eventually kick in. It seems the pam_unix intervention is terminal. SDDM does not start once session c1 .

When I just enter "libreoffice" on the command line, the list of pull-down menus is "File Tools Help", and when I run "libreoffice --calc" the list of pull-down menus is "File Edit View In- sert Format Styles Sheet Data Tools Window Help". But up to now I did not find anything in the various cascaded sub-menus which would trans- late to "Eingabe-Einstellungen". In case it matters: "libreoffice --version" returns "LibreOffice 7.2.6.2 20(Build:2)" here, and this is the USE string returned by "eix": USE: bluetooth branding cups dbus gtk mariadb pdfimport postgres -accessibility -base -clang -coinmp -custom-cflags -debug -eds -firebird -googledrive -gstreamer -java -kde -ldap -odk -test -vulkan LIBREOFFICE_EXTENSIONS="-nlpsolver -scripting-beanshell -scripting-javascript -wiki-publisher" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_9 -python3_8 -python3_10" Am I missing some USE flag? Sincerely, Rainer

Why would the presence of a network > connection on this PC affect SDDM?! When you don't have the cable, are you using wireless or no network? Have you tried waiting a few minutes to see if SDDM comes up? I wonder if this could be a DNS or IPv6 issue? Remember the old saying "The problem is always DNS.

Why would the presence of a network connection on this PC affect SDDM?! I also checked Xorg.0.log with and without ethernet/SDDM and there is no difference and no errors. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: [gentoo-user] Installing windows on second drive

Is that correct? Anything else i should be concerned about? iirc (and I'm about to do it again), Windows just makes itself default, and sets boot timeout to 0. So no I wouldn't bother modifying grub - just set the EFI timeout to, say, 5 secs. You then choose between Windows and grub, and then let grub sort out the linux side for you. I notice you're using a second drive, though. At least linux is on drive 0, with a decent EFI partition. I had another system with linux on drive 1. Windows made the EFI partition on drive 0 tiny, and I never worked out how to chain the two EFI partitions together. Couldn't put grub on drive 0, the partition was too small. So, yes. In theory it's easy. In practice...? Cheers, Wol

As the message correctly indicates, it cannot upgrade glibc because virtual/libcrypt-1 requires the older version. What would portage complain about before you excluded it? What is the output from: emerge -1va =virtual/libcrypt-2 As mentioned in the news item, most upgrades should have just happened on its own without user interference, so it might also be as simple as re-running the @world command with --backtrack=1000 Regards, Arve
