I use it all the time on gentoo, but watch out for its dependencies.  I
had to downgrade ffmpeg to 2.72 before I could get fs to compile and
they are not interested in supporting gentoo.  Their development systems
are Debian Jessie.

Re: [gentoo-user] ATLAS@home and VirtualBox

[Gregory Woodbury]

Is the "user" boinc runs as in the vboxusers" group?
By default, boinc runs as a non-root (daemon?) user and if its group is not
in the vboxusers group,
VirtualBox will not start or run for the user.

The recommended workaround is to run boinc as a real user (generally "you")
so
that things operate properly.  Additionally, the actual way that the cernvm
runs can change "just a bit" and it will upset the balance of getting VBox
to run
boinc tasks.

I synced again and was hoping I either caught the tree in the middle of
some change over with the last sync or whatever it is would have a fix
by now.  Well, still the same error as before. 

Anyone have any ideas on the cause of this?  Any tricks that I could
try?  Could this be a bug that I need to report?  I've tried skipfirst
and such but it seems to be a hard stop on this package. 

Thanks.

[gentoo-user] VIM and colors and the gui on the console or so...

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

I am always interested in the newest version of all new versions
of VIM, my favourite editor. ;)
In recent changes, vim got the ability to render GUI colors on
the console...BUT one needs a
(cite from the vim help pages):

When on, uses |highlight-guifg| and |highlight-guibg| attributes in 
the terminal (thus using 24-bit color). Requires a ISO-8613-3
compatible terminal.

My question is:
Is it possible to make urxvt "ISO-8613-3 compatible" as I either get
a bunch of error messages from vim (guicolors not set) or a colored
vim window...but the colors are extremly bright and variations of
red, orange and yellowwhen using the "zenburn" colorscheme, 
which is the true opposite of it.

And -- if urxvt cannot to be convinced to be compatible -- what
comparable terminal is recommended for that purpose...

May there is another vim geek/nerd out there, who has already fixed
that??

Thank you very much in advanced!
:wq ;)

Heh. I haven't had need of that script in years. I only needed it then because 
*something* was causing my system to crap its pants midway through emerges, 
and rebuilding an entire Gentoo system to narrow down why was...time-
consuming. I currently have exactly one Gentoo install going--my workstation. 
And it's been ongoing-stable for something like three years, now. For a while, 
I didn't have any Gentoo systems, as I didn't have time to stand up a personal 
system to play with; I'd just gotten married, bought a house, now have two 
kids named after programming languages...

As for that script, it turned out that having -gddb3 in CFLAGs breaks glibc. 
Have a broken glibc get built, installed--and *nothing* that spawns afterward 
can run. Hard to fix if you don't know why it's breaking. It was a known bug, 
but not documented anywhere at the time.  Thankfully, I notice it's currently 
documented in the Gentoo Wiki...

Hello mikemol. 

I have no idea.

But it's *great* to see you post to the list, again. I peruse your install
script (github) on occasion to see if you have updated it, or 'ansiblize' [1]
it.  Great to hear from you, again.

[gentoo-user] Bluetooth PIM sync with KDE?

[Michael Mol]

Is it still possible to sync, e.g. the contacts on my phone with Kontact?
Googling around, it seems like OpenSync isn't really even a thing any more,
and I'm not finding anything in various account settings in Kontact to add
a bluetooth device as a data source.

Just in case it wasn't obvious from your explanation above, portage
completely ignores the contents of the CDEPEND variable.  It is just
used interally within the ebuild and as you pointed out it gets
included in RDEPEND/DEPEND which is what portage uses.

This is why it isn't in any of the official docs.  If you edited an
ebuild and replaced all occurrences of CDEPEND with MY_VAR_NAME it
would work exactly the same.

Using it is generally a good practice all the same, unless the DEPENDs
really are RDEPENDs as well (which isn't always the case).

[gentoo-user] ATLAS@home and VirtualBox

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

Has anyone here succeeded in getting this BOINC project to run? No matter 
what I try, I get "task postponed 86400.00 sec: Communication with VM 
Hypervisor failed."

I've tried all available versions of gentoo-sources, virtualbox and boinc to 
no avail. Virtualization and Intel Vt-D are switched on in the UEFI BIOS. I 
can't see anything else in there that might affect this.

In case it's a GPU problem I've also tried all available versions of amdgpu-
ucode and linux-firmware. This is a new box with a Radeon R9 380 display card 
which shows up thus:

# lspci -ns 01:00.0
01:00.0 0300: 1002:6938 (rev f1)

One straw to clutch at is that the one VirtualBox client I run is 32-bit. Is 
there a knack to getting 64-bit virtualisation to work?

(I won't ask why 11 digits of precision are needed to represent 1 day.)

Thank you Adam,

Yes my mobo is rather old and my SSD is AHCI.
So i leave the option unchecked.
