[gentoo-user] soft keyboard for touchscreen

2020-10-17 Thread William Kenworthy
Can someone recommend a guide to installing a touch screen aware soft
keyboard in gentoo?

I have tried a number of keyboards but the various guides do not say how
to integrate a soft keyboard in to a window manager (I am using xfwm4
but could change) or login screen.

I can manually start them, but they do not show up when an editor,  text
box or login is required so I have to attach a physical keyboard to
regain control.

  There is no mention of SND_PCI.  When doing "make menuconfig", you
***MUST*** first enable...

Device Drivers > Sound card support > Advanced Linux Sound Architecture > PCI 
sound devices

  Don't select any of the drivers under that option; just enable the
barebones option.  If you don't enable it, then nothing shows up under
"HD Audio" where all the codecs you mention are listed.  If you're doing
it manually, set...

CONFIG_SND_PCI=y

  Either way, rebuild the kernel and try again.  Hopefully, that solves
the problem.

Hm, there is actually a bug with a similar error reported under the
number 747547 on bugs.gentoo.org exactly on the same date when my
first update of tensorflow failed.

Probably, I just should confirm it and make a reference to this thread.

Here is the comparative table for your kernel parameters vs those of
gentoo-kernel 5.4.64 and my last tried configuration in
gentoo-sources-4.19.86:
-
CONFIG | 4.14 | 5.4.64 | 4.19.86
SND  | y  | m| y
SND_TIMER   | y  | m| y
SND_PCM  | y  | m| y
SND_HWDEP | m | m| y
SND_DRIVERS   | y  | y | y
SND_PCI| y  | y | y
SND_HDA  | m | m| y
SND_HDA_INTEL| m| m| y
SND_HDA_HWDEP | y | y | n
SND_HDA_RECONFIG | y| y | y
SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK | m | m | y
SND_HDA_GENERIC   | m | m | y
SND_HDA_CORE| m | m | y
SND_SPI | y | n | absent

The last option is absent from my config file of gentoo-source-4.19.86.
However, it seems that in gentoo-kernel-5.4-64 it also means nothing
because it leads to an empty section even if it is chosen.

So, it seems that at least the configuration for kernel 5.4.64 should
work. However, it does not.

Thank you. I have depcleaned all masked packages and in line with your

emerging tensorflow-2.3.1. However, I do it manually using
emerge -vp tensorflow
As the result, so far I've got the following list:

However, now I have got the following

I am going to solve it by adding the line

(and it indeed solves the dependency conflict)
However, in this case I am quite close to my previous configuration

My strategy was to run emerge with --autounmask=y and then to add the 
dependencies to package.accept_keywords one-by-one. If any of the

Re: [gentoo-user] No sound. Please, help!

2020-10-17 Thread Walter Dnes
  Here's a strategy I occasionally use...

1) Download a Gentoo "minimal install" and set up a USB key to boot from it.

2) Boot the PC from the install USB key.

3) Execute the command...

   lsmod | less

4) Manually scan the output for anything related to sound and write it down.

   That should give you an idea of what modules the install decided on
after doing hardware probing.  This'll work for almost any device.  I
recently installed Gentoo on a older machine with an ethernet chip that
identified as a string of numbers which didn't help me.  But checking
"lsmod | less" showed the "e1000e" module in use.  I compiled in the
driver that gives that module and it works.

   To get a screen capture that you can post here...

1) Boot from the install USB key.

2) mount /dev/sdxy /mnt/gentoo
   Where "x" is a, or b, or c, etc.  "y" is 1, or 2, or 3, etc as
appropriate for your machine.

3) lsmod > /mnt/gentoo/mymodules.txt

   Reboot, from the hard drive, find "mymodules.txt" and check it.  If
you need further help, post it on this list.

Ok, that board should be rather closeish to mine (GA-MA770TA-UD3.

This works here:

CONFIG_SND=y
CONFIG_SND_TIMER=y
CONFIG_SND_PCM=y
CONFIG_SND_HWDEP=m
CONFIG_SND_DRIVERS=y
CONFIG_SND_PCI=y

CONFIG_SND_HDA=m

CONFIG_SND_HDA_GENERIC=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CORE=m
CONFIG_SND_SPI=y

Not sure if CONFIG_SND_SPI and CONFIG_SND_HDA_GENERIC are needed, but
the other ones seem crucial.

Oh, the above is for a 4.14 kernel, but has been the same for a looong
time now.

[gentoo-user] No sound. Please, help!

2020-10-17 Thread gevisz
At different times during the last one and a half years, I tried to
make sound work on my new Gentoo install on a computer with Gigabyte
GA-MA790FXT-UD5P motherboard and MSI ATI Radeon R4770 graphic card.

Previously, I successfully solved the sound problems in Gentoo either
with alsamixer or by compiling the right driver into the kernel but on
this computer these two approaches failed so far.

In my penultimate attempt to solve this problem, I spent no less than
one week trying to compile the right driver into the then 4th Linux
kernel with no result. At the beginning, I managed to get a sound from
this computer after some kernel configurations but they turned out to
be unstable in the sense that later the same kernel configurations
resulted in no sound. (I have used git to control all my experiments
with the kernel configurations, so I am quite sure that configurations
of the kernel for which I sometimes got the sound and later did not
was indeed the same.) My first explanation to this phenomena was that
after recompiling a kernel I also have to recompile xorg-server and
some sound related packages. So I have tried this with no result
again. And, of course, I have always used alsamixer to make sure that
no sound channels are muted.

Finally, I decided that I just cannot find the right combination of
sound drivers and gave up because at that time I could not spend on
this more than one week.

But last month I found out about the gentoo-kernel package and decided
to try once more. I was almost sure that, after installing this
package, I will finally get the sound. So, I have installed the
latest, 5.4.64, version of this package. As a result, the computer
rebooted in the new Linux kernel and everything worked and still works
like a charm except for the sound as it is still absent. :(

So I definitely (and desperately) need your help and promise to follow
all your suggestions. (But, please, take into account that I can
compile on this computer only during weekends.)

As the following command shows

lspci | grep "Audio"
00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] SBx00
Azalia (Intel HDA)
01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV710/730
HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4000 series]

This computer has two sound devices. The first of them, SBx00 Azalia,
is probably built into the motherboard, and it is where I am trying to
get a sound from. The second one is probably built into the Radeon
graphic card and I am not going to use it at all unless it can output
the sound through the motherboard audio jacks.

My current kernel configuration is exactly the same as in the
gentoo-kernel-5.4.64 package as I have not changed anything there.

And finally: installed on the same computer legacy operating system
never had any sound problems.



[gentoo-user] tensorflow-2.3.1 failed to compile"

2020-10-17 Thread gevisz
A week ago, on October 10,  2020, tensorflow-2.3.1 gracefully failed
to compile with the following
ERROR: sci-libs/tensorflow-2.3.1::gentoo failed (compile phase)
and a few weeks before tensorflow-2.2.0-r2 caused a dependency
conflict during a regular system update, so I updated my system
excluding tensorflow and on October 10 tried, after another update
excluding tensorflow, tried to update it to the last available
version. Before doing it, I also unmasked some of its most recent
dependencies (I think it was protobuf-3.13.0) to avoid dependency
conflict.

Any thoughts on how to proceed with this obstacle other than to
depclean tensorflow and try to reinstall it again?

The problem is that all versions of tensorflow and almost all of its
dependencies are masked by default. So it is almost impossible to
guess which versions of them should be unmasked for the successful
compilation.

Is there any hope that in the future at least some version of
tensorflow will be considered "stable" in Gentoo?
