Recent update of Firefox was to 31.4, at least on amd64 but when I was on 31.3 I noticed no change in my youtube experience: approximately half of their videos can be played. P.S. I have no flash player installed.

It was bringing in x-server-17 something along with eselect-opengl-3. something and this is where the problems occurred, so I downgraded xserver to 16.4 something downgraded mesa and that glproto business and all is well, but what a major disaster.

I am using the nvidia drivers I run lxde and a radeon card on amd64. Here is what I get: # eselect opengl list Available OpenGL implementations: [1] xorg-x11 * All seems to be fine. I do not use nvidia, so I cannot help there. That said look in: /var/db/pkg/x11-base/* to see what has changed. Your current issues are something else that can be solved (more rapidly diagnosed) with a directed graph tool that is talked about in the GLEP_64 thread an in a gentoo-dev thread from 8/30/2014. diff the files and see what is different. hth, James
[gentoo-user] GLEP:64
Hello, Ok, so Gelp_64 could be very useful to me for reasons above and beyond the administrative vision of the devs. For example, is there a way (scripts or xml wise) to expand /var/db/pkg to include codes I install via /usr/local/ or via some subset of rpm or dpkg installed codes as discussed in a recent thread? I'm working on setting up ansible to install (clone?) new gentoo systems, where pretty much the identical system to one that exists would be an excellent starting point. Is there a way to parse /var/db/pkg, or use a "directed graph" as blueness has suggested to populate Ansible with the necessary details to build a clone (gentoo) system? And then there are security audits, such as a fully characterized list of files and the dir hierarchy of a system. Sure some of these exist in current security tools, but the complete mapping, via /var/db/pkg does seem like an excellent idea, and if nothing else an excellent checking (redundant) mechanism for security audits or to determine if something is misses via SeLinux configurations. Also, as I grab codes and install them ( particularly without using an ebuild to perform the installation) how do I track all of those created files, with a mechanism independent of the mechanism inherent to the code. Trust is great but the best rule is to 'trust but verify'. ymmv. Then there is the new repo.conf and epatch_user files that should be tracked. I'm quite sure there are still many other ways outside files find there way onto our systems (not even addressing the web side of things) besides what I have partially listed in this post. If folks have similar concerns, what mechanisms do you currently employ for any of these aforementioned needs? James
[gentoo-user] whats up with eselect-opengl?
Hi. In my latest world update, eselect-opengl had a new version with very bad consequences -- it uninstalled the X server, and all drivers were gone. I am using the nvidia drivers and they seemed to be installed, but they did not work even after reinstalling the server, but after downgrading eselect-opengl back to 1.27, mesa and glproto (may have slightly wrong name), things are back to normal, but what the heck is happening? I saw nothing in bgo, but we had a thread on here a while ago, but even that thread didn't say the the server would be uninstalled. Any ideas? Are they going to fix? I have masked things off for now. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici cov...@ccs.covici.com
