Re: [gentoo-user] systemd-boot on an openrc system
Hi Peter, long story short: AFAICT it's a deprecated or moved configuration entry inside the file /etc/machine-info and should be safe to just delete, maybe even with the whole file machine-info itself. On my machine with openrc and systemd-boot I don't even have /etc/machine-info at all and things work fine together. To me it looks as the variable was just thrown out of the machine-info file and in case you would need it you should put it into /etc/kernel/install.conf. I don't know which software uses the string. If you compile your kernel manually or using the gentoo-kernel packages it seems to be not necessary. (But as always when taking advice from strangers on the internet: First make a backup, have a live medium for recovery at hand and test it yourself.)

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] suggest SSD partitioning
Hi, my thoughts: If you use an EFI/UEFI you will need a so called ESP, i.e. a FAT32 partition. FAT32 is ugly from a linux user's perspective (e.g. it doesn't support symlinks as far as I know and being regularly told by other users), but I'm putting /boot on that partition for at least seven years now without any trouble. I would always tend for a swap partition to avoid additional overhead from filesystems in between (beside the fact that I'm using mostly btrfs which couldn't host swap files for a long time). AFAIR a binary distribution I used lately takes RAM size for systems without hibernation and double the size for hibernation (it was most probably either linux mint or manjaro). Just imagine your system was already swapping and then you would hibernate, so you would need your 'normal' swap space plus enough free space to save all data from RAM on your SSD. Last but not least I try out too much different software and have full disk encryption with LUKS literally everywhere a x86 CPU runs, so _my_ favorite layout is: first partition: /boot inside the ESP for UEFI second partition: LUKS with btrfs inside (or LVM + ext4 if I didn't need btrfs features) third partition: encrypted swap (LUKS, too) My system is a Notebook with 32 GiB RAM and I choose arbitrarily 18 GiB for swap wich is empty or filled with a few hundred megabytes most of the time. I don't use hibernation. My /var/tmp/portage has a size of 14 GiB wich is enough to compile firefox, rust, libreoffice and qtwebengine (not at once, of course). Hope that helps you and much fun with your new drive! Kind regards, Nils signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [gentoo-user] Dovecot config
Hi Wol,
my credentials for dovecot have the following syntax, i.e. four additional
colons after the password:
':'
I use only virtual users, so I can't tell if mixing works, too.
For the dovecot setup I can recommend this guide:
https://prefetch.eu/blog/2020/email-server/#mda-dovecot
Two general remarks:
1st, be more patient. This is a mailing list, not a support chat.
2nd, I _strongly_ recommend to use some kind of hashing instead of plain
passwords. I use '{ARGON2ID}' and generate the hashes by running
'doveadm pw -s ARGON2I'
which asks for the plain text password on stdin.
Kind regards,
Nils

Hi, look here: https://github.com/mgorny/gentoo-kernel-config In names of gentoo "packages" the -bin suffix indicates that it is a pre-built, binary package, so the maintainers use a configuration, build the kernel and upload everything as a binary package. Portage than installs the binary package when you would call 'emerge --ask gentoo-kernel-bin'. Some hints for reading ebuilds and finding stuff: The ebuilds are basically bash scripts, and to find functions called inside each ebuild you can search in the eclasses dir in https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/eclass while you can find (most) of the eclass names from the line starting with 'inherit'. To find e.g. the link to the config I used the following workflow. Maybe it'll be of usage for you, too: https://packages.gentoo.org -> gentoo-kernel -> Git repository browser -> choose the package version -> link below: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel/gentoo-kernel-5.12.15.ebuild#n20 Kind regards, Nils

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems with LyX and xetex-2021
Hi Stefano,
I couldn't reproduce your error with xelatex at all. I took your example/MWE
and just executed "xelatex test.tex" and it generated me a single page PDF.
A quick and dirty idea: Move ~/.texlive (e.g. to ~/.texlive-bak) and let texlive
regenerate files there.
In my worldfile I have app-text/texlive, dev-tex/biber and dev-tex/latexmk,
everything else are just deps.
Interestingly it works even with USE="-xetex" for texlive which in turn has only
the following USE flags enabled:
"X extra graphics luatex metapost music png pstricks science truetype"
Hope that helps you,
Nils

Hi folks, as far as I know video editing needs lots of RAM and CPU in general, so I would go for a system with plenty CPU cores and much RAM, at least 32 GiB, better more. This would make the system future-proof to some degree in different ways: - You will need much memory for huge (GUI) software like libreoffice, chromium, qtwebengine and similiar in the future. - You will need the memory for video editing, especially if you like to use a GUI programm to do so. - The general trend was always to use more and more memory for each application, and my last hardware was an x86 CPU (not ARM like the Raspberry Pies) with only 8 GiB of RAM which wasn't fun anymore with Gentoo. For the software I would take a look at kdenlive and ffmpeg (both have packages in probably every linux distribution): https://kdenlive.org/en https://ffmpeg.org The Raspberry Pi image (stage3) seems to be unmaintained so far: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi#gentoo-on-rpi3-64bit @Kusoneko: > Hello, > [...] however, I believe every CPU architectures are supported on Gentoo. Actually not. Gentoo supports *many* and even older architectures, but not all. If there is no-one to maintain it than there is no support. No hard feelings, just pure pragmatism. Kind regards, Nils

Re: [gentoo-user] Anyone using extract_url with mutt?
Hi Walter,
in case your problem isn't already solved net-mail/urlscan[1] might be an
alternative. Currently I maintain it in my overlay[2]. I just use it with
xdg-open or KDE's URL-click-behaviour, but according to the urlscan readme you
can "Run a command with the selected URL as the argument or pipe the selected
URL to a command." which sounds to me as your workflow.
In neomutt I use the following macro to just get all the URLs printed:
'macro pager \cb " urlscan" "description..."'
I think you could use the '--run' parameter (or the '--pipe' one if palemoon
supports that) and extend my macro to something like this:
macro pager \cb " urlscan --run \
'/home/waltdnes/pm/palemoon/palemoon -new-instance -p email {}' \
" "Open URLs in palemoon in a special profile."
Note that I test neither '--run' nor '--pipe' nor the extended macro.

Re: [gentoo-user] Is Hardened profile and SELinux support active?
Hi Ihor, myself I use only hardened profiles without SELinux on my machines, and AFAICT it mostly boils down *this* way to some default toolchain flags for C/C++ and a nearly-default kernel (sys-kernel/gentoo-soures package)[a]. I dropped a note about your question on the IRC channel #gentoo-hardened on freenode[b] and got mostly instant responses from people telling they run SELinux fine on Gentoo (so it seems you're right and only our docs are a bit dusty) -- you might want to ask there for details ;-) I'm top-posting here and Cc'ing one of the gentoo devs maintaing SELinux, so he get's your original question aswell (he hasn't subscribed to this list). hope this helps and from my side also a warm welcome to Gentoo!

Hi, indeed. If you disable USE="system-libvpx" (i.e. don't set it activly or set USE="-system-libvpx" portage will tell firefox to use the bundled version.

Re: [gentoo-user] Is it that hard to add a package, or am I doing wrong?
Hi Danny, first I want to thank you for submitting your ebuild, and I'm quite sorry to see another contributor who doesn't get responses for a long while. This is no evil intention, just a lack of manpower and the lack of someone maintaining your "new" package. (This was what jstein meant with his response[1]). Additionally bugzilla is seen as too impractical to use for new packages that many don't get much attention there, only on github.com. However, within Gentoo every package needs a maintainer to avoid dead packages inside our tree (which then get no security nor "normal" bug fixes). Packages with "maintainer needed" state had one, but he or she just dropped the work. If you have some spare time you can become a proxied maintainer, meaning you maintain the package without being a Gentoo dev. As git distinguishs author and commiter you get also a proper attribution for your work. The workflow in general is that you clone the git repo and create branch, add your ebuild, open a git PR on github.com[2] and get reviews from devs. You can find more details in some wiki articles[3]. Unfortunately it takes a bunch of time until packages are merged, because of the mentioned lack of manpower on the devs' side, aswell as plenty mistakes new proxied maintainers tend to implement in ebuilds (myself included here).

I had similar issue when I installed v4.7.8, and enabling PHP debug output to

logging to write these messages to any logfile).
Here is my nginx snippet for phpmyadmin in a subdirectory:

With portage you install something like a "draft" to /usr, and then app-admin/
webapp-config actually manages the files inside your webroot. For details how
to use it take a look to our wiki page:

Hi, I’d run it a bit differently: - change profile - force-remove gnome (emerge -aC) - double checking USE flags and updating @world as usual - cleanup (emerge --ask --verbose --clean) - install services that aren’t already installed as a dep (maybe anacron or ntpd/chrony) - Adding the services to appropriate runlevels (e.g. rc-update add xdm default) - If necessary, replacing udev with eudev. I don’t remember if it got changed automatically a while ago on one of my systems due the switch.

I prefer to use system libs because upstream bundled libs are in nearly every project now and then huge security risks (i.e. quite old libraries once(!) imported from another project, slightly modified, never updated)[1]. However, I had to test a bit around which system-* flags don’t crash and currently my setup contains firefox-50.0.1-r1::gentoo with “system-harfbuzz system-icu system-jpeg system-libvpx system-sqlite“ and the rest needs to be used from bundled setups — at least that was the state at firefox-49 and I didn’t really test more system-libs since then.

Regarding this matter I’d like to share my usage here, hoping it would help to avoid the missing-config-entries issue (in short: I patch vanilla upstream myself): I run vanilla upstream kernels and just pick the patches from genpatches/ gentoo-sources I think I need. Currently mine are: 1500_XATTR_USER_PREFIX.patch 1510_fs-enable-link-security-restrictions-by-default.patch 2900_dev-root-proc-mount-fix.patch 4567_distro-Gentoo-Kconfig.patch 5010_enable-additional-cpu-optimizations-for-gcc.patch My workflow for kernel upgrades there for is - downloading the kernel, checking with GPG signatures - extraction to /usr/src/ - patching the new kernel - copy the old .config - run make nconfig, maybe change something if needed, save and quit - run make and install the rest as usual (maybe create initramfs and other things) Or in short: "cd /usr/src// && patch -p1 < ../patches/ patches-/* && cp ../usr/src//.config .config && make nconfig" That way I have full control over the patches I use and can use *my* config from minor release to minor release without running into any trouble.

Yes, I do use the games.eclass (or did it with EAPI=5) for installing all games at least into a different subdirectories than default $PATH. In addition I use a different user “games“ with $HOME=/home/games. This has its origins primarily in my personal way of data organisation & backups.

Maybe a strace (with dev-util/strace) tells you more (just a guess).

I was taught by other linux users (mostly fanatic KISS people from Archlinux
:D) to use as less different tools and therefor dependencies for a script/
shell command as possible. In your case, simple bash might be even enough:
Check the bash man page for "PARAMETER EXPANSION" (these $
{foo...somethingspecial} instead of $foo).

Just save both informations to one variable, then print/echo the value of
these variables (something like "echo $VAR1 $VAR2" or even "echo $VAR1 (per
M²)".
