I did my plasma update last night.  I think that is when it showed up
here.  I don't recall KDE installing any Gentoo branding stuff.  I did
look for and install a Gentoo theme tho.  I think it was the screen that
comes up while KDE is loading up.  Honestly, I don't pay much attention
to that sort of thing. 

You can change that I think.  Right click the thingy, select Application
Menu Settings and then under general, I think the top option use custom
image will change that.  I've never done that so beware, I've never
tested that theory.

Hah! I had the exact same problem.  And I solved it in the dumbest possible 
way: running the exact same emerge command repeatedly until the error went 
away.  I *wish* I knew what the root cause is (actually, no, I don't), but 
that worked on two different systems.  It can take a few retries, though 
(three on my laptop, IIRC, but just one on my desktop).

[gentoo-user] boost-1.62.0-r1 blocked by nothing ??

2017-02-01 Thread Jörg Schaible 
Hi,

now I have an emerge mystery myself: It claims boost is blocked by  ... 
nothing. See yourself:
- emerge tells me that boost is for whatever reason blocked
- I cannot find any entry for this in /etc/portage/**
- eix does not show any kind of mask for 1.62.0-r1
- none of the installed packages show a condition preventing an update

Any idea?

Cheers,

Re: [gentoo-user] How many IP addresses may a NIC obtain?

2017-02-01 Thread Herminio Hernandez, Jr. 
Yes a NIC can have more than one ip address. I am guessing it is DHCP
related. The old leases may not have expired but usually, DHCP does a good
job at not allowing that to happen. Remember from a network perspective the
only real difference between a linux workstation and a router is enabling
packet forwarding.

I eventually got on top of this.  No initramfs is needed, although if you are 
using one then it will serve the same purpose too.

These are the steps I followed:

Emerged sys-apps/iucode_tool and ran:

iucode_tool -S

which spewed out the CPU signature as:  0x00040661

Then I emerged intel-microcode with USE=split-ucode, to generate the microcode 
binaries the kernel can use directly.  Saving and searching through the output 
of the emerge compilation I found this snippet:

 intel-ucode/06-46-01
 signature: 0x40661 <===<
 flags: 0x32
 revision:  0x16
 date:  2016-04-01
 size:  24576

Previously in a rush, I got confused when I compared the hex notation of the 
CPU signature with 0x000 in front of it, with the above.  Thereafter I added 
'intel-ucode/06-46-01' in the kernel, like so:

Device Drivers  --->
  Generic Driver Options  --->
[*]   Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary
(intel-ucode/06-46-01 ) External firmware 
blobs to build into the kernel binary
(/lib/firmware/) Firmware blobs root directory

The intel-ucode needs to be loaded early at the start of the boot process, so 
I put it first and comma separated the rest of the CPU firmware blobs.  I now 
get an output which clearly states "microcode updated early".

I posted this in case it helps others too.

[gentoo-user] How to force regeneration of eclasses

2017-02-01 Thread Helmut Jarausch 

Hi,

I have a broken system. Several packages fail to re-emerge with

 *   environment, line 3025:  Called gen_usr_ldscript '-a' 'gpm'
 *   environment, line 1910:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *   mv "${ED}"/usr/${libdir}/${tlib}*  
"${ED}"/${libdir}/ || die;



Has anybody seen this message?

gen_usr_ldscript is defined in  
/usr/portage/eclass/toolchain-funcs.eclass


qfile doesn't find any package which has installed this file.

How can I force the re-installation of (all) eclasses?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut

Well, so far, so good. I managed to configure an EFI stub kernel and
booted it on the first try! I think I still need to compare some
information on the kernel between the Mint boot USB and what I have, but
other than that, it boots!

It was then I found out that LABEL= and PARTLABEL= in fstab are two
different things as I watched systemd fall flat on its face.

 I've never seen this before. The error message shows up in dmesg as

That's good to know.

I've only done 3-4 systemd installs, this one being on my Surface.
Although on the other systems I probably never noticed as I was usually
in KDE using Konsole.

Yes, I always run perl-cleaner after a perl upgrade and it always fixes

Are you using the LiveDVD or similar variant? The only Gentoo KDE
branding we ship in the main repository is in kinfocenter and is
configured via /etc/xdg/kcm-about-distrorc.

You're welcome.

If this is new to you, then my tip might not be useful because I've
been using it with systemd since first using it on Fedora 15.

You mentioned "ForwardToWall=no" and "ForwardToConsole=no" in
"/etc/systemd/journald.conf" in your initial email but it's not
journald that's spamming the console, it's systemd. The default log
level in "/etc/systemd/system.conf" is set to "info" so it's the
kernel's "console_loglevel" that determines which systemd messages are
printed to the console.

On my system:

$ euse -i -g branding
global use flags (searching: branding)

[- cD   ] branding - Enable Gentoo specific branding

So the "branding" USE flags exists as far as I know.

Do you have the 'branding' USE flag enabled?


There is no such flag.

There's more to it than that, I have that flag set but it doesn't affect
KDE. I think it's most likely to be a theme choice.

Does it? That's handy, mentioning it in the man page would make it more
