Yes, I can do that with no trouble; I just wanted to see if I could use 
their instructions to make my own version.

A few times this box has somehow lost its UEFI stubs and I've had to use a 
rescue CD to reinstall them.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge conflict

2016-09-17 Thread Gregory Woodbury 
I went through the list of conflicts and made a temporary @set of packages
for emerge to re-install. Worked like a charm. A number of the conflicts
are things that should be in a "preserved libraries" type of list, they are
actually quite able to rebuild with the new perl version.

I have, however, had to back off newest versions of sddm and chromium
(browser) due to some performance failures:  /etc/portage/package.keywords
is your friend!

Agree - my amd64 system upgraded perl to 5.22 on Friday, so re-sync, and
try again. Also to help resolve upgrade issues i firstly add --deep to

It doesn't look like just vim - it looks like exiftool, graphite2,
cups-filters, gvim, and imagemagick all are blocking.

I'd guess that these packages need a version bump or you need to unmask
one of the newer builds (most likely they haven't been stabilized yet.)

I've done it several times with a stock SysResCd. Just loop mount the ISO
and run the install script.

I've never bothered to try to customise it as I usually only use them to
install Gentoo.

[gentoo-user] TCP Queuing problem

2016-09-17 Thread Grant 
My web server's response time for http requests skyrockets every
weekday between about 9am and 5pm.  I've gone over my munin graphs and
the only one that really correlates well with the slowdown is "TCP
Queuing".  It looks like I normally have about 400 packets per second
graphed as "direct copy from queue" in munin throughout the day, but 2
to 3.5 times that many are periodically graphed during work hours.  I
don't see the same pattern at all from the graph of all traffic on my
network interface which actually peaks over the weekend.  TCP Queuing
doesn't rise above 400 packets per second all weekend.  This is
consistent week after week.

My two employees come into work during the hours in question, and they
certainly make frequent requests of the web server while at work, but
if their volume of requests were the cause of the problem then that
would be reflected in the graph of web server requests but it is not.
I do run a small MTU on the systems at work due to the config of the
modem/router we have there.

Is this a recognizable problem to anyone?

Honestly, that sounds like you're projecting experiences of long ago
onto the present.

I haven't had a plasma crash in MONTHS, which falsifies everything you

I like to actually *use* my computer though, not fight the DE. When I
tried it months ago, plasma would crash every 10 seconds on its own.

KDE5 won't be stable until another year at the minimum. After installing
it and having the crashing (and other issues, but the main one was the
constant crashing) I had no desire to put up with a broken DE for years
like my experience with KDE4. Hell, with KDE4 it took them two years to
put back basic functionality like a fully-functional systemsettings.

It sure isn't easy though. I've stopped updating my computer and I
probably won't try KDE5 until middle next year. Hopefully by then it'll
actually be *usable*. It would have been nice if they snapshotted kde4
7-8 months ago and put the entirety in kde-sunset before messing with
ebuilds and creating cross-version dependencies.

KDE5 works well enough, I've been using it here for months. There are
recurring reports of icons going missing and other uber-annoying
cosmetic issues, but I find the software quite functional.

One thing KDE5 isn't though, is KDE4++ :-)

If KDE4 is really what you want, then you best stick with it.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Customised System Rescue CD -> USB stick and UEFI

2016-09-17 Thread Peter Humphrey 
Hello list,

Has anyone managed to install a customised (or even standard) SysRescCd 
image onto a USB stick so that it will boot in UEFI mode? I wanted to use 
the following partition layout:

(parted) print
Model: SanDisk Ultra Fit (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 59232MiB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags: 

Number  Start End   Size  File system Name   Flags
 1  1.00MiB   128MiB127MiBBOOTLDRbios_grub
 2  128MiB2048MiB   1920MiB   fat32   boot   boot, esp
 3  2048MiB   4096MiB   2048MiB   linux-swap(v1)  SWAP
 4  4096MiB   16384MiB  12288MiB  ext2sysrescue
 5  16384MiB  24576MiB  8192MiB   ext2home

I followed the procedures at https://www.system-rescue-cd.org and thought I 
was getting on all right until it came to re-creating the squashfs with
/usr/sbin/sysresccd-custom squashfs
Then I got huge numbers of input-output read errors. So I tried it with 
2>/dev/null; it got up to 10% completion and a couple of hundred megabytes 
in sysrccd.dat, then sat in a loop for ever whirling its little spinner.

I thought I'd ask here before trying the forum because of the density of 
experts here.  ;-)

Omitting the customisation and just copying all the files into place on 
/dev/sda4 (root, ext4 with no journal) and /dev/sda2 (boot, vfat) but 
although the "BIOS" saw it was there, when I tried to run it I was dumped to 
a grub shell. I don't know grub well so I couldn't proceed.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'll be grateful. Ta.

True. This is why I suggested a bind mount and not a symlink.

Perhaps you're right. Unfortunately I don't have the time currently to fight 
with ebuilds so I will declare my system, in IBM's immortal expression, 
"functionally stabilised"! It does everything I need it to so updates are not 
really necessary. I looked into the KDE5 upgrade recently and what I read did

I don't think that if you navigate upwards after following a bind
mount that you end up in the tree that was mounted.  Ie,
/var/tmp/portage/.. = /var/tmp, not /usr/portage.  With a symbolic
link it would resolve to /usr/portage unless the shell does something
clever.

You can mount bind mounts into containers, and I'm pretty confident
the container can't navigate out into the rest of the filesystem that
way.

Well, for anything on the wiki I'd suggest just adding it.  For the

What a peculiar odd thing to say. You might want to revisit your word
choice there. A better expression might be

"if I have KDE4 installed and don't want to have KDE5, then due to the
fact that upstream does not support KDE4 at all and that few if any
gentoo devs are interested in maintaining KDE4 ebuilds, blockers and
deps have now tipped over the edge and mathematically there is no valid
update path left. Oh dear; the devs did say if I wantot carry on using
KDE4 that bitrot will bite me. I guess that happened now."

Because that is probably what happened. You let your computer stay
static will the ecosystem moved on, and now you get to keep all the
broken bits. It sunds crude but at this point you are on your own.
Someone needs to maintain those ebuilds so that the system can continue
to work, your best choice right now for who that person is, is you.

As long as I do not set GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM...

I decided to add the following line to /etc/portage/make.conf:

  GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES="$GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES:$PORTAGE_TMPDIR"

This should be part of the documentation. Where do I best
report it?

I tried it and got:

# layman -s kde-sunset

 * Fetching remote list...
 * Fetch Ok

 * Syncing selected overlay(s)...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/layman/api.py", line 394, in sync

raise UnknownOverlayException(overlay)
layman.dbbase.UnknownOverlayException: Exception: Overlay "kde-sunset" does 
not exist.

This is becoming a problem because now I also get when updating Gentoo:

# emerge -uDv @world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "kde-plasma/kactivitymanagerd:5" have been

(dependency required by "@world" [argument])

looking at the kactivities ebuild I see:

RDEPEND="

"

So KDE4 users are no longer allowed to update Gentoo?

I often find files owned by "root" in my $HOME... This could explain
some oddities tho I didn't see your effect yet.

You can quickly find such files and directories with

# find $HOME -user root

I'd also check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (and .../xorg.conf.d directory),
modern installations usually do not contain screen configuration there.
You may want to clean up there if there's something configured.

FWIW, I have the following /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor"Monitor0"
DefaultDepth24
Option "Stereo" "0"
Option "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-1"
Option "metamodes" "HDMI-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, DVI-D-0: 
nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
Option "SLI" "Off"
Option "MultiGPU" "Off"
Option "BaseMosaic" "off"
SubSection "Display"
Depth   24
EndSubSection
EndSection


It's only needed because I'm booting with EFI GOP and the VBIOS defines
my TV as the primary monitor resulting in very very tiny fonts if I
don't change the order to use "DFP-1" first.

Actually, I want my system to clone both outputs - that is why I
position both on offset +0+0 statically. But upon login, KDE will apply
whatever I defined in kscreen.

So maybe you have some script running which "unapplies" this during
login after KDE has set the settings? Check you login session scripts.

You could

# mount -o bind /usr/portage/tmp /var/tmp/portage

and then point the portage tmp dir to that directory. From there,
ebuilds cannot see the .git of /usr/portage.

Thanks, I already have mouse settings to 'SingleClick=true' but it doesn't 
work in Dolphin, nor do any menu icons show up.  In addition, the Network 
places is empty.  Thankfully, in Konqueror all of the above features are

If you can get systemsettings working, the setting would be in "Input
Devices" -> "Mouse".

Otherwise, here's some example configs:

~/.config/org.kde.gwenviewrc 
~/.config/kdeglobals (debian) 
~/.config/kdeglobals (gentoo)
