Hi Peter, You seem to have misplaced a double-quote. It should be: EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="${EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS} --usepkg-exclude 'dev-lang/yasm"' emerge -1 yasm Though I don't understand why you dont't just pass the option to emerge directly: emerge -1 --usepkg-exclude 'dev-lang/yasm" yasm `${E

Re: [gentoo-user] Web browser issues. Firefox and Seamonkey doesn't work, Chrome does.

Chrome violates the HTML5 spec in many ways, and many web developers only test their sites in Chrome, so some sites occasionally break in Firefox. The situation has improved a lot over the years, though. Firefox has a channel through which broken sites can be reported: https://support.mozilla.org/

Hi Jude, I can't answer your question directly because, frankly, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But I'll try my best to clear things up for you. The `nproc` command prints how many processors (CPU cores) are available for applications to use. This is how many emerge or make jobs can run in

Hi Michael, -march=x86-64 and -mtune=generic will not speed up your OS installation. These flags tell compilers to produce binaries that can run on any AMD64 system and that aren't optimized for your specific system. These flags have no effect on binary packages, since those have already been com

Hi Jude, When the build failed, emerge asked you post 3 things when you need support. Of those, you've managed to omit the most important thing, i.e. the build log. Without it, it would be impossible to help you. Regards, Waldo On Thu, May 23, 2024, 23:46 Jude DaShiell wrote: > Portage 3.0.63

Re: [gentoo-user] Resizing boot partition while dual-booting

Hi Vit I presume you plan to have a single boot partition that will contain your bootloader, kernel and initramfs. There are actually two kinds of boot partitions that are commonly used together: 1. The EFI system partition (ESP) contains Linux and Windows's bootloaders. It's formatted as FAT. 2.
