​If you have enough disk space create a chroot, do a new gentoo install on
it. When everything is installed in the chroot, replace the old

[gentoo-user] march to cross-compile ASUS laptop

[Andrés Becerra Sandoval]

Hello,

I want to use a build host to create packages for a L402N Asus laptop.

% grep -m1 -A3 "vendor_id" /proc/cpuinfo
vendor_id   : GenuineIntel
cpu family  : 6
model   : 92
model name  : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N3350 @ 1.10GHz

intel has this specs:
http://ark.intel.com/products/95598/Intel-Celeron-Processor-N3350-2M-Cache-up-to-2_4-GHz

and, in the following website:

 https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/celeron/n3350

​It says that the microarchitecture is apollo-lake.

What would be the proper marc​h configuration for this box?

Hello,

I am getting this warning when updating app-emulation/docker:

 CONFIG_IPVLAN: is not set when it should be.

But in the linux kernel configuration I cannot find IPVLAN at:
-> Device Drivers

 -> Network device support
   -> Network core driver support

I am using gentoo-sources. But the same thing happens with vanilla-sources
(versions 4.8.4)

​Robin,

My ugly hack on this to keep on kde4 withouth pulling frameworks 5:

1) use a local overlay
2) locate kactivitymanagerd-4.13.3-r1.ebuild (in
/var/db/pkg/kde-plasma/kactivitymanagerd-4.13.3-r1)
3) put the kactivitymanagerd-4.13.3-r1.ebuild into ​
/usr/local/portage/kde-plasma/kactivitymanagerd/
​4) add  a ​
SLOT="5"
​ line to the ebuild
5) add a unmask ​line
=kde-plasma/kactivitymanagerd-4.13.3-r1
​ to /et​c/package.unmask

​I need 5) because I mask ​all kde-plasma/* packages

​Dear Peter,

I have just synced and I have no problems. Are you sure to have masked
plasma 5 suff?

My masks are:

kde-plasma/*
kde-frameworks/*:5
kde-apps/*:5
kde-misc/*:5
>=kde-apps/kde4-l10n-16.04.1


​Maybe kde4-l10n is pulling the packages?

​Hello Mick,

kdepim applications have been not ported to Plasma 5 yet. You will not have
problem with those.

Some applications migrated are:  ark, dolphin, gwenview, kate, konsole,
kwrite, telepathy, konversation, marble and most of games and educational
applications.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: pthreads condition variable/mutex question

2014-08-13 12:21 GMT-05:00 Grant Edwards grant.b.edwa...@gmail.com:
 This is not Gentoo specific, and while I'm doing my prototyping and
 development on a Gentoo system, the eventual target is not going to be
 running Gentoo -- so feel free to ignore this thread or throw things
 at me.

 I'm trying to figure out how to synchronize threads which may be in
 different processes.  Basically, I want thread A to be able to wake up
 any number of other threads B, C, D, ... who are all blocking until A
 says go (and who may or may not be in other processes).

 Other (mostly embedded) OSes I've used had some sort of event flag
 API that did exactly what I'm looking for, but I can't seem to find
 such a thing in pthreads.

 A condition variable in shared memory is the closest thing I have
 found, and my test applications are working OK (so far).  But, I'm
 unclear on the purpose of the mutex whose address you pass to
 pthread_cond_wait().

 Is it to prevent race conditions when manipulating the condition
 variable's internal state? I don't see how that can be the case, since
 the signal/broadcast call would have to be aware of it and it isn't.

 The mutex appears to be there to serialize access to some user-defined
 variable(s) (outside the condition variable itself) which I don't
 have. So all the mutex locking/unlocking and resultant blocking of B,
 C, D is just wasted overhead and pointless latency.

 pthread_cond_wait(3) says

When using condition variables there is always a Boolean predicate
involving shared variables associated with each condition wait that
is true if the thread should proceed. Spurious wakeups from the
pthread_cond_timedwait() or pthread_cond_wait() functions may
occur. Since the return from pthread_cond_timedwait() or
pthread_cond_wait() does not imply anything about the value of this
predicate, the predicate should be re-evaluated upon such return.

 I have no Boolean predicate (which presumably comprises the
 user-defined variables outside the condition variable I mentioned
 above), and I don't want spurious wakeups, so a pthreads condition
 variable would appear to be the wrong thing to use.

 Is there something like an event flag similar to a condition
 variable without spurious wakeup problem and without the extra
 overhead of the mutex and Boolean predicate.

 Or am I expected to build my own event flag using the aforesaid
 boolean predicate just to avoid the spurious wakeup problem?  [I'm
 guessing this is the case...]

Re: [gentoo-user] grub2 multiple kernels

 Grub2 on gentoo, seems a bit confusing. I guess
 I've just read too much that is system dependant ( version of grub2?)
 (and to think the purpose of Grub2 was/is standarization?)


 So I simple want to be able to add multiple linux kernels
 to boot from. Many are experimental hacks, so I keep
 quite a few around. eventually, there will be
 a windows7 boot need on lappys and tablets too.

 Some reading suggests to simply build the kernels, and
 put them in /boot/  with acceptable namees like:
 kernel-3.10.25-gentoo and they will automactically
 appear in the boot menu? No limit to the number of
 images?

 Some pages suggest manually editing the grub.cfg file,
 but I've also read that this is overwritten by the scipts
 and info found in /etc/grub.d. I running Grub 2.00_p5107-r2.

 I like to keep multiple version of kernels, complete sources
 etc and keep several if not many of the bootable kernels
 in /boot/.

 Ideas and suggstions on how a grub(legacy) guy should approach
 this need, with grub2 are most welcome. Just so you know, I
 envision in the next 12 months to have many different arm(64)
 systems using grub2 also (linaro has grub2 working on arm and
 arm64); so a clean, well thought out strategy of similar
 approaches to grub2 on many differnt arch's is what I'm really
 after

 Also while we discussing grub 2, it boots blind (no feedback)
 and takes too long to boot (estimated 5 minutes) : really slow
 so what do I change there?   No systemd on my systems.


 TIA,
 James




​Hi James,

If you put the kernels in /boot with proper names and launch:

​ grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Grub will set up the kernels for you.

If you want (not likely)  to create a manual entry, put it in
/etc/grub.d/40_custom

 Hi list.

 I've been using Gentoo for quite a long time, and today I decided to try
 compiling the kernel myself, Thing I've never done before. I want a smaller
 kernel, a faster boot (without initramfs) and, of course, some fun :).

 I'm still reading the oficial documentation, but I don't think it will be
 enough, so, if anyone of you know some documentation more detailed, I'd
 appreciate reading it.

 I've just ran 'make xconfig', and I noticed that the configuration is the
 same from genkernel (genkernel --menuconfig). Is it good? Should I get an
 original .conf, with less garbage, or this is just the 'normal default'
 instead of 'genkernel default' as I'm guessing?

 Is there any tool that can scan my pc and help me out with the .conf or even
 generate one? I guess not. There are lots of options that I have no idea
 what they are for. I think this will be the fun part, but I think I can't
 get a running kernel before I optimize it, so I can do it gradually.

 Just for curiosity, what is the size of your kernel? Mine is 3.4 MB.

 Thank you,

A small tip:

- Do lsmod in your genkernel kernel
- Write down the list
- For any module loaded find the corresponding option in the kernel
configuration
- Read briefly the description for the option
- Do a crosscheck with the output of lspci and lsusb

Have fun!

 No, I was wrong. I also changed my xf86-video-intel, and THAT is what
 fixed the freezing problem, but now I have another freezing problem

 several versions of xorg-server.

Hello,

I have a 865G too, the only combination that works for me with the
i915 intel driver is:

kernel: gentoo-sources-2.6.28
driver: xf86-video-intel: 2.7.1

Anything above that (=gentoo-sources-2.6.29, =xf86-video-intel:
2.7.1) fails for my setup with freezes like the ones you describe.

As my box is ~x86, I have installed many versions of xorg-server
without varying  the kernel and driver, and they worked all right.

I am thinking in giving up to using the intel driver in order to user
the latest kernel, with an /etc/X11/xorg.conf using a VESA card
configuration and I have not tested the i830 option.

Hope this helps.

I think you can delete everything, when the programs that created
those files restart again, they will recreate the temporary files .

Re: [gentoo-user] Sound problem

 Hello everyone! I have Via on-board sound and i cant get the audio to work.

 At first the problem was that /dev/dsp did not exist, so i loaded a
 couple of modules into the kernel (mostly following www.gentoo.org
 alsa-guide) after that, the error message became could not open
 /dev/dsp permission denied so i tryied chmod a+rw /dev/sound/dsp
 (also from gentoo docs) nevertheless, i stillo have no sound. For
 example when using XMMS if choose to use the Alsa driver, an error
 pops up telling me failed to open audio output: Alsa plugin, so i
 choose Arts which doesnt trigger any errors but there is stillo no
 sound!!

 i ran lspci |grep audio and this is what returned

 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
 VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)

 i had all the necessary kernel options (according to the gentoo doc)
 built-in in the kernel, including AC97 so i am out of ideas.

 If anyone has any clue of what i should do, it would be greatly apprecieated.

 Thanks in advance

 Rafael
