[gentoo-user] Plasma6+wayland+chromium+teams screen share how to?
Hi there, After applying the recent world updates including a full switch to kde6/ plasma6+wayland, I see that microsoft teams as web-application (PWA) running in chromium does not allow sharing screen or windows anymore. The dialog opening keeps empty, nothing to share. Do I need the screen cast use flag for this set in chromium? (Under X11 it worked fine without) Is this a permission problem (chromium not allowed to read other window's content)? Is there any documentation describing how to get it working? Thanks in advance Alex
[gentoo-user] Plasma6 audio volume keys no longer working
Hi there, After recent update world, my laptop upgraded from kde5/plasma5/x11 to kde6/ plasma6/wayland. Now I have a very strange behavior of the volume+/- and mute button. When being logged in, those keys have no effect (ignored), but mic-mute button works as it should. The behavior gets more weird, because all of the keys work perfectly when the session is locked (e.g. after wakeup from suspend, when I have to enter the password go unlock). This means, that the keys themselves, and the proper handling in drivers and evdev and forwarding to some application works, but something in plasma6 goes wrong. I checked bindings of the keys, when trying to rebind Volume+ or Volume- to their respective keys, it says that that they are already bound to that key. Any ideas? --- Relevant software information --- Kde-plasma/plasma-meta-6.1.5 Kde-frameworks 6.6.0 + 5.116.0 (Both slots installed) Qt 6.7.2 + 6.15.14 (Both slots installed) dev-libs/wayland-1.23.1

I found the solution for my specific setup (lvm+luks+secureboot:
installkernel: USE+=uki ukify
Systemd: USE += secureboot cryptsetup boot ukify
This implies that installkernel is using dracut for creating an initrd and
systemd's uki-generator for creating the efi file.
Systemd's uki generator is configured in /etc/kernel/uki.conf:
[UKI]
SecureBootSigningTool=sbsign
SecureBootPrivateKey="/usr/share/secureboot/keys/db/db.key"
SecureBootCertificate="/usr/share/secureboot/keys/db/db.pem"
Cmdline=dolvm rd.luks.uuid=luks- root=/dev/mapper/
rd.luks.options=discard
Where is the patition uuid of the encrypted lvm container and
the real root inside the contianer (/dev/mapper/). The
dolvm instructs initrd to trigger the lvm discovery, rd.luks.uuid being defined
tells it to use cryptsetup luksOpen on the specified device.
rd.luks.options=discard is optional and enables pass-through of ssd trim
commands through the lvm layer to the real nvme-ssd.
The relevant information I was looking for is the Cmdline arguement in
uki.conf.
Best Regards

[gentoo-user] Uefi + uki stuck while booting (/dev/gpt-auto-root)
Hi there, I just tried to prepare my new laptop for UFEI+secureboot by creating a single unified kernel image including kernel,initrd,microcode,etc. NB: The partition layout has a vfat/Efi partition and a luks encrypted lvm container holding SYS(Root), Data(home) and swap. I added uki and ukify use flags to installkernel and systemd, checked the configuration again and configured the kernel by emerge --config sys-kernel/ gentoo-kernel. Bulding the kernel image seems to work fine, the log messages say its creating a initrd using dracut, creating a efi file, signing it properly and even installs it under /boot/efi/EFI/Linux. When booting it, it loads the kernel and then seems to get stuck: Timed out waiting for device /dev/gpt-auto-root Dependency failed for File System Check in /dev/gpt-auto-root Dependency failed for Root Partition Dependency failed for Initrd Root File System Dependency failed for Initrd Mountpoints Configured in the Real Root Dependency failed for Initrd Root Device Then it ends up in an emergency shell. There's a log in /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt, which reveals that it does not find my encrypted lvm partition (LUKS encrypted lvm container holding SYS, DATA, SWAP, etc), which obviously needs to be setup first. Seems like some boot parameter is missing. Checking systemd's USE flags: Relevant flags lvm + cryptsetup + boot + secureboot use flags are set To me it looks like as if its missing information which partition to use for decrypting/mounting, and which lvm volume to use as real-root. Is this a dracut configuration? A systemd configruation? An installkernel configuration? Something else? Thanks Alex
Re: [gentoo-user] After Update grub does not work anymore
Thanks for the hints. Indeed, I didn't read the news regarding grub. Booting from a rescue system and running grub-install followed by a grub- mkconfig solved the problem. Although I do not fully understand why this happend. AFIAK, installing/ updating grub does not update files in /boot nor /boot/efi. And grub-mkconfig only updates /boot/grub/grub.cfg. And the other files from the grub package are inside an encrypted system disk, which grub cannot access without getting the pass phrase. So, why do the EFI files suddenly stop working without having been changed? Thanks Alex On Freitag, 29.

[gentoo-user] After Update grub does not work anymore
Hi, After upgrading two Lenovo Laptops (UEFI, secure boot disabled), grub does not work anymore; instead it says "Welcome to Grub" ... And then immediately boots into bios setup. What did go wrong? I did the usual things: * emerge update world * emerge --config gentoo-kernel * grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Everything went fine without errors, but then the final reboot, only bios setup. And these steps do not alter the efi boot loaders Any ideas? How to get out of this? Alex

Indeed, that seems to be the problem. I remember, my first try was with -v3 (as my buildhost supported this), and, after discovering the "surprise" on the target machine, started the emerge -ev @world. Likely, glibc was not the first package, so there are an unknown number of packets that have the problem. I started to recompile the "usual suspects", like bzip2 and xz, which made it a bit better, but still the emerge -uavDNk @world did not succeed. Now I'm doing again a emerge -ev @world on my buildhost again, so tomorrow it should be solved. Thanks for the hint Alex
[gentoo-user] CPU ISA level is lower than required
Hi, I tried to tweak some settings regarding CFLAGS="march=x86-64-v2" on my buildhost and then install the binary packages on the target machines. Buildhost: AMD Ryzen 7 2700; ld.so --help says: Subdirectories of glibc-hwcaps directories, in priority order: x86-64-v4 x86-64-v3 (supported, searched) x86-64-v2 (supported, searched) Target platform: AMD A8-5500; ld.so --help says Subdirectories of glibc-hwcaps directories, in priority order: x86-64-v4 x86-64-v3 x86-64-v2 (supported, searched) I set CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe march=x86-64-v2" on the buildhost and performed a emerge -ev @world, re-creating all packages in binary form. My expectation was that these packages would work on the target platform, but they don't. Error message "CPU ISA level is lower than required". Q: The binary (e.g. /usr/bin/bzip2) obviously "knows" what it requires. How do I find out what this is? Neither ldd, ld.so or the like seem to give me this information. Q: Does the xpak format encode those requirements in any way, if so , how can I read them? Q: Can I compile binary packages with multiple ISA sets and let portage on the target machine decide which sub-package to use depending on capabilities of the target CPU?
[gentoo-user] Media-sound/strawberry and external mass storage devices
Hi there,
I installed strawberry on two systems: My desktop and my laptop computer;
While my desktop shows all attached USB mass storage media in stawberry's
device tab, the laptop's device tab stays empty, no matter what I connect or
in which order (start strawberry first, then insert USB stick or the other way
round).
Mounting and accessing the devices in KDE/Dolphin works fine, they immediately
appear in plasma's removable device widget, I can open and use them as usual.
However, when starting strawberry on command line with option --version, I see
some differences:
10:11:33.916 INFO DeviceManager:450Device added: "Gio//f2fs/
29868666880" ("Gio//f2fs/29868666880")
10:11:33.917 INFO DeviceManager:450Device added: "Udisks2/
AA5YSPHZ0QR09UDC/Corsair/Voyager 3.0/30408704000/5ca996d4-0070-4196-865c-
d5c8f32c59eb"
Those lines are only shown on the desktop PC (the one that shows the devices
in the device tab), the laptop shows no single DeviceManager message.
Does anyone have an idea what prevents Strawberry's device manager from
showing/scanning devices?
Thanks
Alex
[gentoo-user] Gentoo-kernel 6.6 -- how to install?
Hi there, Since now kernel 6.6 is stable, installation procedure seems to have changed. I used to install it by emerge --config gentoo-kernel grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg But grub does not find the kernel, since it is not installed in /boot's root but in some uuid named sub directory. Eselect news says for grub users, nothing changes, but actually it does not work. So how is this now supposed to work? Best regards Alex

[gentoo-user] Kmail does not show all imap folders
Hi there, I'm using dovecot as imap server, some sieve scripts sorting incoming mails into a folder structure and kmail on multiple different machines as client. The folder structure on the server looks fine, I can access the folders via command line and I don't see anything obviously wrong. Some of those target folders are not shown on all machines, they are simply ignored; Unfortunately these folders contain important mails which I need to react to (which is bad if I do not see them on my main machine, only in some test VM). I checked folder subscriptions in kmail, but I do not see the missing folders there either. Also akonadi-console does not show them. I also tried curl imaps:/// Showing all of the missing folders, so I think its an akonadi/kmail problem and not an imap problem. Any ideas?

Now I have two completely identical systems which only differn in the hypervisor they're started with, named "virtualbox" and "libvirt".

The same command on "libvirt" machine shows "true" here. So, what is required for a login seat to be treated as "graphical"?

Could it be that some kind of Spectre mitigation is active? I just read about some massive performance problems in Kernel 5.19+ on Skylake CPUs. Stable gentoo kernel was upgraded to 6.1 recently, which could also be affected by this problem. See https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2209.1/02248.html Try turning the mitigations off or revert to a 5.15.x kernel. Alex
[gentoo-user] Nextcloud-24.0.7 and proxy settings
Hi there, I'm trying to setup a nextcloud instance inside a DMZ that has no direct connection to the outside world, only via proxy. The proxy itself is working fine, but I fail to configure nextcloud to actually use this proxy. According to the docs, I tried setting the proxy field in config/config.php, i.e. '10.46.1.109:3128', 'proxyuserpwd' => '', ... ); But this setting seems to be ignored, tcpdump does not show any connection attempt to that ip and nextcloud complains that it cannot connect to the internet. In another forum I found that in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/10_nextcloud_vhosts.conf, environment variables like HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY may be set, i.e. ... SetEnv HTTP_PROXY 10.46.1.109:3128 SetEnv HTTPS_PROXY 10.46.1.109:3128 ... But this also does not seem to work. Any other ideas? Thanks Alex
[gentoo-user] How to produce broken binary packages
Hi there, I just encountered a problem regarding binary packages and got some broken packages and I don't know how to solve this permanently; On my buildhost I compile all packages I need for several VMs and install only those packages I really need on the target machines. Problem combination: * net-fs/samba-4.15.12-r2 has a direct dependency to sys-libs/liburing. * dev-db/mariadb does not have a dependency to liburing, but during build, if liburing is available it will use it for some reason yielding a binary that links against it: Buildhost-server ~ # ldd /usr/sbin/mysqld linux-vdso.so.1 (0x7ffec5b61000) libpcre2-8.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libpcre2-8.so.0 (0x7fcfbd704000) libcrypt.so.2 => /lib64/libcrypt.so.2 (0x7fcfbd6c9000) liburing.so.2 => /usr/lib64/liburing.so.2 (0x7fcfbd6c2000) --- Installing that package on a target VM does not install liburing, hence yielding a broken /usr/sbin/mysqld binary because the library is missing, and the reason why I still have a consistent system on my buildhost is because samba has it as dependency. A quick on-the-fly solution is either manually installing liburing and adding it to the world profile (@world is required otherwise emerge -c will remove it again), or install mariadb by compiling it (not using emerge -k). But all of them are somewhat unclean. A) Is this a problem in the ebuild script of mysql because not taking care of this? b) Is this a problem of mariadb's configure/make script because of implicitly using the library without being told so by ebuild?

[gentoo-user] Cryfs error Crashed Deserialization failed - missing nullbyte for string termination
Hi there, I just encountered a weird problem when trying to access my kde-plasma vault. Although I entered the correct password, it refused to open. Journalctl shows Nov 01 18:41:50 zeus kded5[1348]: OUT: "CryFS Version 0.10.3\n\nPassword: \nDeriving encryption key (this can take some time)...done\n" Nov 01 18:41:50 zeus kded5[1348]: ERR: "[2022-11-01 18:41:50.894] [Log] [error] Crashed: Deserialization failed - missing nullbyte for string termination\n" Using cryfs on the command line shows the same thing: alex@zeus ~ $ cryfs .local/share/plasma-vault/Privat.enc Vaults/Privat/ CryFS Version 0.10.3 Password: Deriving encryption key (this can take some time)...done [2022-11-01 18:49:24.052] [Log] [error] Crashed: Deserialization failed - missing nullbyte for string termination Googling this error shows exactly 3 (!) matches, the most useful is assuming a corruption on the file system; so I compared with backup, even more than several months ago. No changes, the files are identical and the backup is OK. Next, I copied the encrypted files from .local/share/plasma-vault to an ubuntu installation (kubuntu-2020-04LTS which uses cryfs 0.10.2 instead of 0.10.3 that gentoo uses) , and there the container opened fine. It looks like as if gentoo's cryfs 0.10.3-r1 cannot open the container, ubuntu's 0.10.2 can. What's wrong with the gentoo version? Any ideas? Thanks in advance
[gentoo-user] Layman adding git over ssh only repository
Hi there, I tried to add a repository which is only reachable via git over ssh; no access via git port (9418 according to /etc/services) or http(s). Only ssh connections with public key are accepted. I tried Layman -o ssh://git@myserver/path/to/repo.git -f -a myrepo, but failed with "invalid url". Then I tried the same with "git://git@..." , also failed. It seems like it does not accept the url scheme and refusing to connect at all. Next thing I tried is to create a repository.xml and put it to the local file system: my-repo My overlay alexander.puchmayr#my-email.com Alexander Puchmayr> git://myserver/path/to/repo.git Layman -o repository.xml -f -a myrepo now tries to fetch it via the git port (9418), failing with timeout. Replacing source type="git" with "ssh", "ssh+git", "git+ssh" also did not succeed. I'm pretty sure not being the first one trying this, but I cannot find any useful information how to do this. So how can I achieve this? Thanks Alex

Re: [gentoo-user] Selective news?
Same here, pulseaudio daemon is no longer started automatically. Starting it
from a shell (simply call pulseaudio ) and audio works fine again.
Not sure which start script to add it to; .login or .profile are unsuitable
because it would then start it at every login even with ssh).

If yes, you can either create binary packages on this machine and only install them on your laptop, or use distcc for moving the big compilation tasks to this other machine. Using binary packages, I can still use a Lenovo SL510, which seems to have similar properties regarding CPU and RAM than the X200, with all desktop programs, including full KDE/plasma, Firefox, libreoffice, etc. Alex

Re: [gentoo-user] systemd DNS does not resolve 'local' addresses
Thanks for the hint with mDNS, I wasn't aware of that. I'm using the '.local' domain for all my machines for more than 15 years now, longer than mDNS exists, but finally, after some research I found the problem, and actually it wasn't systemd per se, it was an update of /etc/nsswitch.conf. The old version had Hosts: mymachines files myhostname dns while the new version contains Hosts: mymachines resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] files myhostname dns The extra "resolve [!UNAVAIL=return]" makes the difference. It loads the glibc's plugin nss-resolve [1], which then calls systemd-resolved [2], which interprets '.local' as mDNS address. The mDNS is not activated on purpose, it seems to be some default setting of the router which does not appear in the configuration pages (or I didn't find it). Anyway, there are some ways to solve this: 1) create an entry in /etc/hosts on every machine. Contradicts the idea of DNS, but works 2) keep the old setting in nsswich.conf (without "resolve ...") 3) change my "own" TLD from .local to something else, like .home, as suggested in [3] I think as long term strategy option 3 would be the best.

Portage bug? The problem was caused by a newly compiled sys-libs/readline as binary package. The package itself was compiled on my buildhost by a emerge -auvDN world, and when readline was compiled, the latest glibc-2.33 was already installed on the buildhost, hence the readline packet had a (implicit) dependency to >=glibc-33. Portage does not seem to be aware of that (the glibc version is not a dependency of readline), so portage did not care and install it at some suitable position later. From the time on that readline was emerged from that binary package, all programs linked with it have now that implicit dependency of >=glibc-2.33, which is not yet installed (which was 2.28). Bang! HOW TO FIX THIS BREAKAGE: For the system recovery I was lucky to have a backup of the old packages, so I could extract the readline-tbz2-package file to the temporary directly and copy the so files to /usr/local/lib64 (I chose /usr/local/ to avoid overwriting the package files) Ls -l /usr/local/lib64/ insgesamt 368 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 6. Sep 14:53 libhistory.so -> libhistory.so.8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 6. Sep 15:04 libhistory.so.8 -> libhistory.so. 8.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 47368 6.

Sep 15:04 libreadline.so.8 -> libreadline.so.8.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 325464 6. Sep 14:53 libreadline.so.8.0 Then, I created a ld.so.conf config file to ensure that /usr/local/lib is at *first* place: echo "/usr/local/lib64" >/etc/ld.so.conf.d/10-temporary-fix.conf ldconfig Notes: * The config file *must* end with .conf * Although /usr/local/lib64 is already in the ld.so.conf file, this step is necessary to get it at first place; otherwise it is after /lib64 and /usr/ lib64, and ld.so finds the non-working version first * setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not work as ebuild does not forward the environment variables from the calling process. Test it with ldd /usr/bin/bash -- no errors shall be reported, and the readline library shall show the /usr/local/lib64 path. Now, I could emerge glibc-2.33 the usual way (emerge -avk1 glibc), and then afterwards remove the temporary ld.so.conf file rm /etc/ld.so.conf.d/10-temporary-fix.conf ldconfig Test again with ldd /usr/bin/bash -- the new readline library from /usr/lib64 and /lib64 shall now be used. Now, the libraries from /usr/local/lib can be removed safely. System recovered! Best regards, Alex

What I did is: * On my build host, I compiled the full system and creating packages * On the client (i.e. The machine in question) I simply did a emerge -auvDNk world. * Portage did not complain about any conflicts, the amount of packages is what I expected, so I started the upgrade. * After about 25 packages installed successfully, emerge stopped with the errors explained before. For me the problem is solved now as I could recover the system, but I still would like to know how to prevent this -- installing glibc prior world may be a good idea. Thanks, Alex
[gentoo-user] Emerge -u -k package install order - broken system
Hi there, I just tried to upgrade a older installation via binary packages and this broke my system. After around 25 packages of almost 300 it stopped with error and failing packages. $ emerge Failed to validate a sane '/dev'. bash process substitution doesn't work; this may be an indication of a broken '/dev/fd'. $ ls -l /dev/fd/ insgesamt 0 lrwx-- 1 root root 64 6.

It seems like as if sys-libs/readline-8.1_p1-r1-1:0/8::gentoo is installed *before* installing a suitable glibc, breaking any binary that has the useflag readline (including bash). Two questions: How do I get out of this mess? Why does portage not work in correct package order? Portage bug?

I just downgraded to alsa-utils and alsa-tools 1.2.3, and the problem
disappeared. I will keep this combination for a while until the next update.
However, I'm not sure whether this is an alsa problem or a pulseaudio problem.
Thanks for your help

You may need to unmute it, via pactl or kmix. Sorry, didn't change anything. I doubt that the problem is wrong default settings of alsa. I run pulseaudio -vvv and the output was interesting: Pci:00/:00:08.1/:07:00.1/sound/card0 and pci:00/:00:08.1/:07:00.6/sound/card1 Where the latter one is the one that is not used by pulseaudio. Both report "UCM available for card HD-Audio Generic" Note: the card name "HD-Audio Generic" is identical, and this is reported by alsa-libs, as far as I could see from the code. Then it finds HDMI1-3 for both cards. *** card0 *** [...] D: [pulseaudio] module-udev-detect.c: /devices/ pci:00/:00:08.1/:07:00.1/sound/card0 is busy: no D: [pulseaudio] module-udev-detect.c: Loading module-alsa-card with arguments 'device_id="0" name="pci-_07_00.1" card_name="alsa_card.pci-_07_00.1" namereg_fail=false tsched=yes fixed_latency_range=no ignore_dB=no deferred_volume=yes use_ucm=yes avoid_resampling=no card_properties="module- udev-detect.discovered=1"' D: [pulseaudio] reserve-wrap.c: Unable to contact D-Bus session bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11 I: [pulseaudio] alsa-ucm.c: UCM available for card HD-Audio Generic I: [pulseaudio] alsa-ucm.c: Set UCM verb to HiFi D: [pulseaudio] alsa-ucm.c: Got TQ for verb HiFi: HiFi D: [pulseaudio] alsa-ucm.c: Got PlaybackPCM for device HDMI3: hw:Generic,8 D: [pulseaudio] alsa-ucm.c: Got PlaybackPriority for device HDMI3: 1300 D: [pulseaudio] alsa-ucm.c: Got JackControl for device HDMI3: HDMI/DP,pcm=8 Jack W: [pulseaudio] alsa-ucm.c: UCM file does not specify 'PlaybackChannels' or 'CaptureChannels'for device HDMI3, assuming stereo duplex.

[gentoo-user] Laptop internal speakers no longer working after recent updates
Hi there, I have a weird problem on my Lenovo P14s laptop. Before I applied a world upgrade (based on August 22 state portage), the internal speaker of the laptop worked fine, but now its all silent, although all mixer levels are 100% and no channel is muted. Observed facts: * Connecting a HDMI tv-set produces sound over the tv-set properly * Booting Win10: Internal speakers working fine --> no hw issue * Connecting headphone via audio jack under linux - no sound. * Reverting to backup makes sound work again --> config/sw problem introduced by update * In plasma's system settings/audio tray, the Speaker output device is not shown -- only 3xHDMI (The analog speaker seems to have gone) The kernel is exactly the same as before the upgrade, didn't recompile it (sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.12.0) --> no kernel issue Relevant packet changes: sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20210511 -> sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20210716 dev-python/pyalsa-1.1.6-r1 = dev-python/pyalsa-1.1.6-r1 Media-libs/alsa-lib-1.2.3.2-r1 -> media-libs/alsa-lib-1.2.4 Media-libs/alsa-topology-conf-1.2.3 -> media-libs/alsa-topology-conf-1.2.4 Media-libs/alsa-ucm-conf-1.2.3 -> media-libs/alsa-ucm-conf-1.2.4 Media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.2.2 = media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.2.2 Media-sound/alsa-tools-1.2.2-r1 = media-sound/alsa-tools-1.2.2-r1 Media-sound/alsa-utils-1.2.3 -> media-sound/alsa-utils-1.2.4 Media-libs/pulseaudio-qt-1.2 = media-libs/pulseaudio-qt-1.2 Media-plugins/gst-plugins-pulse-1.16.3 = media-plugins/gst-plugins- pulse-1.16.3 Media-sound/pulseaudio-13.0-r1 = media-sound/pulseaudio-13.0-r1 Kde-plasma/plasma-meta-5.20.5 -> 5.21.5 (including all dependencies) I tried downgrading linux-firmware to the old version from the backup -- did not help. I tried logging in from a completely fresh account to exclude any bad config in the local home directory -> no success. Any further ideas?

[gentoo-user] Emerge --root= headerfiles taken from / or ROOT?
Hi there, I'm just trying setup a small target image with the --root (env SYSROOT), - config-root and --sysroot options, and some builds fail, because the header files as well as cmake include files are not taken from the path specified to root/sysroot, but from /. How can I make emerge/ebuild take the headers from the target path? The goal is to have a target image, which contains only minimum set of packages and also a minimum set of use flags, just to get it booting and fulfill its purpose. The use flags and the package set are different from the host build system. The architecture is the same, so I'm not cross compiling. Thanks Alex
Re: [gentoo-user] Weird harddisk problem: AHCI disks sometimes not found
Hi there, Thanks for all suggestions and answers so far. I'm pretty sure it is not a hardware problem, because * Exchanging SATA cables does not affect the problem * Using different SATA slots on the mainboard does not affect the problem * Using different SATA power connectors does not affect the problem I continued to experiment with different kernel versions and configs: * Ubuntu-5.4.0-48-generic works * sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.4.60 [self compiled and configured for a similar machine some time ago]: WORKS * sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-5.4.97 [default config] FAILS * sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin-5.4.97 FAILS * sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-5.4.102 [same config as with 5.4.60] WORKS * sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-5.10.20 [default config] FAILS * sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.10.20 [same config as with 5.4.60] WORKS The common thing seems to be that my self-configured kernels work and the default dist-kernels fail. I checked the differences in the configs (/usr/src/ linux/.config) related to SATA or AHCI, and one candidate was CONFIG_SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY, which was set to 3 (medium power save) in distkernel's config and 0 (keep seetings from firmware) in my self compiled kernels. SOLUTION: Adding CONFIG_SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY=0 to /etc/kernel/config.d and recompiling the gentoo-kernel actually solved the problem. I assume the reason is an incompatibility between the link power modes (mode 3) and the drives making the link to appear to be down. Alex Am Donnerstag, 11.

[gentoo-user] Weird harddisk problem: AHCI disks sometimes not found
Hi there, I have a weird harddisk detection problem which rises the questio: what does the gentoo-kernel make differently than the ubuntu kernel? The system in question has 2 identical SSDs (Kingston SV300S3 60GB) and two identical HDDs (older Maxtor7V300F0 300GB) , all connected to SATA/AHCI ports; the HDDs are combined to a LVM-raid1 volume. SATA controller is a onboard SB7x on an Asus M3A78 mainboard in AHCI mode. Only one of the two SSDs is attached at the same time to the system, the other one is disconnected. One contains a gentoo installation (just updated yesterday), the other one an Ubuntu LTS 20.04. This allows dual-.boot by switching connection cables. When I connect the gentoo-SSD and boot it, BIOS finds all HDDs and the SSD, and starts booting; but gentoo does not recognize at least one of the HDDs (/dev/ sdc missing, dmesg shows link down on Sata-Interface . Going back to the bios shows that even BIOS does not recognize the disk anymore. A full powercycle (pressing reset button is not sufficent) to make BIOS to recognize the disks again. Doing the same with the Ubuntu-Disk works absolutely fine, all HDDs are recognized and the raid is working fine, not a single time that one of the disks was not recognized. Without the Ubuntu observation I'd say its a hardware problem and the old HDDs are simply beyond their age, but why are they working in ubuntu and not in gentoo? And what is it doing with BIOS/Harddisk that even Bios does not find it anymore? I need a full powercycle to make bios find it again. This indicates a gentoo kernel problem, and I have no idea where to start looking, and AFAIK there's nothing much to configure a SATA/AHCI drive. Any ideas?

I encountered a problem where a package that looks absolutely fine on the buildhost but on the target machine its broken since some libraries are missing. NB: I previously did an emerge -e world before on the buildhost. As an example I'd like to take media-tv/mythtv-31.0-r1, which has a dependency to dev-qt/qtwebkit:5 if the xmltv useflag is set: buildhost-desktop ~ # equery depends dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.212.0_pre20200309-r1 * These packages depend on dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.212.0_pre20200309-r1: dev-python/PyQt5-5.14.2 (webkit ? dev-qt/qtwebkit:5[printsupport]) dev-qt/designer-5.14.2 (webkit ? >=dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.9.1:5) dev-util/kdevelop-5.5.2 (webkit ? >=dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.212.0_pre20180120:5) kde-apps/k3b-19.12.3 (webkit ? >=dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.212.0_pre20180120:5) kde-apps/kdenlive-19.12.3-r3 (freesound ? >=dev-qt/ qtwebkit-5.212.0_pre20180120:5) kde-apps/umbrello-19.12.3 (>=dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.212.0_pre20180120:5) media-gfx/digikam-6.4.0-r1 (webkit ? >=dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.212.0_pre20180120:5) media-gfx/wkhtmltopdf-0.12.5 (dev-qt/qtwebkit:5[printsupport]) media-tv/mythtv-31.0-r1 (xmltv ? dev-qt/qtwebkit:5) net-misc/teamviewer-15.4.4445 (dev-qt/qtwebkit:5) The Useflag "xmltv" is not set, but since the packages kde-apps/umbrello and media-gfx/wkhtmltopdf have a direct dependency to dev-qt/qtwebkit, it is installed on the buildhost. When building mythtv, it finds the webkit libraries and headers installed and uses it, even if the xmltv-useflag is NOT set(!), yielding a binary that has an implicit dependency to qtwebkit, but portage does not know of it. When I install now the mythtv package on my laptop, where none of the other packages are installed that require qtwebkit, there's no need for portage to install it, and so we get a broken mythtv package. I see several ways to solve this, but none is really satisfying: * set the xmltv use flag to mythtv to get an explict dependency -- I don't want it and I don't need it. * rebuild mythtv on my 12-year old notebook locally -- nothing I'd really like to do. * Install qtwebkit in the world set -- I don't like those library packages in the world set * remove those packages requiring qtwebkit explicity, then rebuild mythtv, build package, install on notebook and rebuild/reinstall the removed packages on the buildhost again -- too cumbersome and I have the same problem again at the next update session. And mythtv is not the only package that may cause such problems, so I would have to do this in many different combinations. Is there a better way to solve this? Is it possible to tell mythtv's build system to ignore the unwanted libraries if the xmltv use-flag is NOT set? Regards Alex

[gentoo-user] Realtek r8169 realtek.ko not loaded.
Hi there I just upgraded an older notebook with r8169 network chip to new kernel 5.4 (sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.4.28) with genkernel. After booting the new kernel the network adapter was not initialized, no network interface eth0. Dmesg says [6.390973] r8169 :08:00.0: realtek.ko not loaded, maybe it needs to be added to initramfs? [6.392864] r8169: probe of :08:00.0 failed with error -2 After searching with google I found a thread in the kernel mailing list https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204343 The cause is a soft depencency to module realtek.ko, which needs to be loaded first. Doing this manually, i.e. rmmod r8169 && modprobe realtek && modprobe r8169 works fine; network interface eth0 gets configured and is operating. Since the kernel loads the network module before systemd is running, it has to be configured in initrd somehow. So, the final question is, how to get that into initrd with genkernel? I need to add something like this cat /etc/modprobe.d/realtek Softdep r8169 pre: realtek How do I get this into initrd with genkernel-next?

[gentoo-user] Portage/emerge became extremely slow
Hi there, In the last months I experienced that emerge takes longer and longer to collect all dependencies, sometimes more than 10 to 20 minutes until it asks me whether to install the packages. Today I had a new record. 61min(!) on a i7-Quadcore notebook, 59min user time, i.e. Portage being busy. What is portage doing all the time? It can't be that it takes more than one hour to tell me what packages to install without having installed/compiled one single package! apollo ~ # time emerge -p -avukDN -j2 --verbose-conflicts --keep-going=y -- binpkg-changed-deps --with-bdeps=y --rebuilt-binaries=y --exclude cross- armv7v-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/glibc world * IMPORTANT: config file '/etc/portage/package.keywords/yapf' needs updating. * See the CONFIGURATION FILES and CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS * sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files.

But there's still the problem that the stable version of kstars does not check the correct version of indi and compiles a version not supporting it although the use flag has been set. Do you create a bug report for kstars or shall I do it? Alex

This option means that gcc is determining the type of CPU automatically and adjusts the instruction set used to exactly this CPU. Although, in your case, it is highly likely that your new CPU understands all commands from the old, but I wouldn't bet on it. Its possible that your existing software encounters problems like "illegal instruction" or the like. Very bad if your compiler crashes after CPU replacement, then you cannot emerge anything. I highly recommend using CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" and nothing more, the performance difference is, if measurable at all, negligible. > USE_CPU="fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov > pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt > pdpe1gb rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow constant_tsc rep_good nopl nonstop_tsc > extd_apicid pni monitor cx16 popcnt lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic > cr8_legacy abm sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw ibs skinit wdt > nodeid_msr hw_pstate npt lbrv svm_lock nrip_save" > As someone else in this thread already mentioned, USE_CPU is not used. What you're looking for is CPU_FLAGS_X86=..., which defines what cpu-specific options will be enabled for packages supporting it and where it makes sense. See package cpuid2cpuflags for details.

[gentoo-user] kstars and indilib
Hi there, I tried to compile kstars with useflag indi, but the provided version in portage is too old: [build.log from kstars] -- Checking for module 'libindi' -- Found libindi, version 1.6.0 -- INDI version 1.5.0 found in /usr/include/libindi, but at least version 1.7.1 is required -- INDI version 1.5.0 found in /usr/include/libindi, but at least version 1.7.1 is required -- Found INDI: /usr/lib/libindiclient.a, /usr/include/libindi I have no idea why it pretends to find indi-1.5.0, when 1.6 is installed :-( Version 1.6 is currently the only version in portage, which renders the useflag "indi" for kstars useless, as the resulting kstars binary does not support indi. https://indilib.org/download/gentoo.html shows a way to add an overlay, but the repo proposed does not exist anymore. Where do I find a ebuild for installing at least indilib-1.7.1? Regards Alex

[gentoo-user] kdevelop broken (llvm slot issue)
Hi there, After recent upgrades of mesa, llvm, clang etc kdevelop does not work anymore. It crashes immediately after start with errors : CommandLine Error: Option 'help-list' registered more than once! LLVM ERROR: inconsistency in registered CommandLine options This issue is covered by bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/651658, which is open since March 2018 and no progress since also March 2018. It seems as if multiple slots of llvm cause the problems. mesa pulls in llvm: 5, while other programs pull in llvm:6 (via clang:6) Does anyone have an idea how to get a working kdevelop again?

My assumption was that the kernel frame buffer device and X driver conflict and the X server does not load because the kernel frame buffer driver was active. So, I removed the kernel driver by blacklisting vboxvideo $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf blacklist vboxvideo $ genkernel initramfs [...] $ reboot After reboot: sddm showed a login screen, X was working (with VboxVideo driver), I could log in successfully. Problem solved :-) Thanks to all who spent a thought on this! Regards Alex PS: The question, why a framebuffer device for virtualbox is automatically created just to cause a conflict with X later on, still remains. Do other installations have the same problem?

I re-emerged both @x11-modules-rebuild and @module-rebuild, but it did not help a bit. Still the same problem. I assume that the key is the vboxvideo line from dmesg. It registers a framebuffer device fb0, which may cause the Xorg-driver to fail. But I do not know how to disable this, since it comes from the vbox driver module itself. Regards Alex
[gentoo-user] virtualbox: no x-server after kernel upgrade to 4.12.12-gentoo
Hi there, I'm using a gentoo-guest inside a virtual box on a Win10 host. The last somewhat working combination was kernel 4.4.39/virtualbox-5.1.24. When I update to kernel 4.12.12, the X-Server does not work anymore (I've also tried with 4.9.xx, same result -- no X) I used genkernel to compile the kernel, copied the previous 4.4.39-config from /proc/config.gz to /usr/src/linux-4.12.12-gentoo via zcat, and did no further changes; so nothing relevant should be changed, at least to my knowledge. After compilation of the kernel, required packages have been re-emerged: - app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions - x11-drivers/xf86-video-virtualbox Booting with 4.12.12: - sddm crashes with segfaults - Starting X from the command line: X complains missing EGL_MESA_drm EGL_MESA_drm_image required. : CommandLine Error: Option 'asan-instrument-assembly' registered more than once!

[gentoo-user] konsole: strange behaviour regarding profile
Hi there, I use to have several different KDE/plasma activities configured, each with different folder view widgets with desktop icons inside for the applications which I use on these activities. Especially, there are some icons with Exec=konsole -e slogin alex@server to have quick access to my server; other icons have root@router, root@server, root@laptop, etc. The strange behaviour is now, when I start konsole from the launcher (i.e. with no -e argument) , it opens a konsole with the last successful login and not, as I expect, on the local system as my current local user. I could even reproduce it by opening the launcher and type konsole -e slogin alex@server As expected, a konsole with login as alex@server is opened. Next, start konsole without any arguments, and slogin alex@server is executed automatically. How can I turn this off and get the behaviour that konsole without -e arguments opens a window with a simple shell at the local machine? Best regards Alex

[gentoo-user] DVB-C Technotrend C1501 CI CAM initialization?
Hi there,
I just encountered a weird problem with a new TechnoTrend C-1501 DVB-C card
with CI module (SAA7146 based). The CAM seems to work fine ONLY if I remove and
re-insert the whole CI module after booting. When I don't do that, I cannot
receive any program (could not try non-encrypted channels since my provider
encrypts all digital channels). After re-inserting the card, everything works
as it should.
Since the computer is not permanently powered on, and the back of the computer
is hard to access, this is a very unsatisfying condition;
Is there a way to re-initialize the module after rebooting or any other way to
simulate re-insertion of it by software?

The key is that * I'm exporting more than one different (sub-)directories on the same filesystem * For some reason it gets confused with the uuid/fsid; Can't find the page where I found that anymore :-( * the actual device the exported filesystem resides on is /dev/md127 and not /dev/md0 as I originally wanted. Since I did not regard the number, I ignored this fact, but I also found hints that this might cause the problem of the previous point. The suggested solution was to add a *unique* fsid=xx entry to the exports file for each directory exported, so that it looks like: /etc/exports: /datadisk/music 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,fsid=1) /datadisk/video 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,fsid=2) /datadisk/backup192.168.1.0/24(ro,no_subtree_check,fsid=3) ... If the same fsid is used more than once then the first directory with this fsid will be mounted! So using *different* fsids for each exported directory is essential!!! So, my NFS works now as it should! Thanks to all who spent a thought on it! Alex

Re: [gentoo-user] kde-misc/synaptiks crashes immediately [SOLVED]
Thanks for the reply.
strace showed very detailed the last syscalls before the SIGSEV:
[pid 21801] sendmsg(9, {msg_name(0)=NULL,
msg_iov(2)=[{"l\4\1\1\0\0\0\0\3\0\0\0X\0\0\0\1\1o\0\23\0\0\0/StatusNotifierItem\0\0\0\0\0\2\1s\0\32\0\0\0org.kde.StatusNotifierItem\0\0\0

msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 104
[pid 21801] --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0x8}
---
and file descriptor 9 was connected to dbus. Well, but this did not show WHERE
it crashed.
Next try was ltrace, but ltrace cannot be applied on python scripts (no ELF).
Finally, I checked the dependencies, and starting with pykde4 seemed to be a
good idea. Recompiled it with "USE=debug" and "CXXFLAGS=-O2 -g", and voila,
synaptiks worked without a problem. Hmmm.
So, recompiled pykde with the normal options, and it still worked.
Very strange, since I ran revdep-rebuild and pyhton-updater after the world
upgrade ...
Note@self: Maybe updating/re-emerging PyQt4 and pykde4 is worth the time, even
if its not neccessary.
However, it seems to work now.
Best regards
Alex

I know, the VIRT column shows the size of the virtual adress space of the
process, and this has nothing to do with the real, physical amount of memory
allocated.
The RES column shows the resident memory, i.e. those pages actually in use and
kept in memory, exclusive those pages swapped out. This column shows currently
1185M (after rebooting this morning)

[gentoo-user] Thunderbird folder structure on Imap servers inconsistent
Hi there, I'm trying out some mail clients with Imap support, and when using thunderbird (v24.2, latest version in stable gentoo tree) I encountered several problems regarding imap server consistency: Folders which I already deleted still appear (marked in itallic grey color in TB's folder list) Some folders appear multiple times (e.g. I have a folders like Mailinglists + Gentoo + users where all the mail from this forum goes to. This is consistent with the filesystem on my Imap server (dovecot). But, additionally, the 'Gentoo' subfolder appears in top level again (with all its other subfolders as well), and the 'users' folder appears again in top level a third time. Furthermore, when I select an unread mail in 'Mailinglists/Gentoo/users', the counter of unread mail decreases in the top level copy. Does anyone have similar experiences? Best regards, Alex

I know, and I think one of them was mine ...
However, I always were able to fix it in away so I could live with it, but if a
piece of software does not allow you to do what it is ment to do, it becomes a
useless waste of bytes. So I had to restore from backup, which showed me two
things:
1) My backup works (yeah !!)
2) I should have restored *all* user data as well, because:
akonadi's mail filter agent stores in its config only a numerical id of a
directory where to put the filtered mails to ('Move to folder') instead of its
name. When recreating the database, it messed up these numbers, so the filters
put the mail into the wrong folders. Hence, it *requires* that both the fiter-
configfile *and* the database must be kept *syncronous*. Unless you have a
database+filesystem which can handle modifications in one *single* transaction,
this is IMHO a bad idea, and AFAIK no such combination exists so far.

Well, I think the idea behind akonadi is not that bad, but some times I have
the impression that the implementation is either incomplete or buggy or highly
inefficient.

I assume you are emerging as root, and you have been doing you manual modification as root as well. Just a guess: as part of the emerge-command, chmod may be called as user 'portage', who does not have the right to change modifications of this file.

[gentoo-user] akonadi, imap mail folders don't appear when created
Hi there, When I create a subfolder at top level of my imap account with kmail2, it does not appear in kmail. Versions involved: kde-base/kontact-4.10.5 kde-base/kmail-4.10.5 app-office/akonadi-server-1.9.2 kde-base/akonadiconsole-4.10.5 Strangly, I appears after a while on my second system (my laptop), but not on the desktop where I created it. Sometimes, also sub-folders are not shown properly when created. I tried reloading the imap data, stopping&starting akonadi-servers, even re- login or reboot did not help. The only thing that really helped was removing the imap-agent from akonadi and re-installing it. It takes a long time until all akonadi/kmail/mysql/nepomuk/virtuoso-processes are finished with their job and you can do something useful with your computer again. Best regards Alex

[gentoo-user] kde 4.11.2, akonadi & Kmail2 problems (retrieving folder contents please wait)
Hi there, On Monday I upgraded from kde-4.10.5 to kde-4.11.2 (the latest release marked as 'amd64' on gentoo), but I had serious problems with kmail2: * I could not open any of my mail, kmail is always showing "Retrieving folder contents please wait". Didn't show up after more than one hour. * some akonadi process, kontact and mysqld kept more than two CPUS permanently busy. Consequently, I haven't been able to read my mail :-( I tried: * Restarting the akonadi resource for my local mailbox. No effekt. * Re-creating the databases by moving ~.local/share/akonadi to akonadi.orig Akonadi recreated its database successfully, but at the end the same result. * Akonadi-console: The debugger shows so many entries per second that I could barely read them. Frequent hangs for a couple of minutes (thought it died, so I killed it, but then I saw it just had a very large timeout) Then I had to restore 4.10.5 from the backup. Now, some of my mail folders got messed up (Mails moved into wrong folders) Filters are messed up (rules to move to specific folders suddenyl point to different folders -- that explains the mails in wrong folders ... ) Is there a way to re-initialize akonadi without risking to lose data and without having to recreate each and every rule I made?

[gentoo-user] nvidia-drivers segfault when starting X

[gentoo-user] Experiences with amd richland or trinity APUs?
Hi there, I'm thinking of bying a quad-core cpu, preferably an amd cpu because they are significantly cheaper than intel ones. The actual models are A8 (trinity, RD 7560D GPU) and A10 (richland RD 8570D GPU), or a plain AthlonIIx4 (no GPU). My question is: Are these GPUs supported properly under linux? Does anyone have experiences with them? Thanks, Alex

[gentoo-user] k3b burning BD-Disk pretends to fail at 99.99%
Hi there,
I just burned all my pictures from my last vacation on a blueray-disk using
k3b, and for no apparent reason it stoped at 99.8% and complained an error
(I/O error). I checked the logs (see attached file), but could not find a hint.
I compared each and every file on the disk with its original, but yould not
find
any problem.
dmesg shows this

While in the first case you see all individual disks with their partitions and a /dev/mdX entry that actually contains the raid failsystem, the second one shows only a /dev/sdX holding the final raid drive. Additionally, for the hardware based raid, you'll need a driver for the controller that supports the raid5. I think this is the configuration you're trying to run, since you mentioned that you created your raid in the RAID BIOS. I'm not sure (I've never tried this) whether there is a driver for Linux supporting raid modes on board-embedded HW raid controllers. Alex
Re: [gentoo-user] Running out of space on /var partition
Depending on your available ram and swap space, you might want to mount /var/tmp/portage as tmpfs. My fstab entry shows none/var/tmp/portagetmpfs size=10g,nr_inodes=1m I have 4GB ram, and the speed benefit especially for open/libre-office is quite impressive. The advantage is, that it a) uses only as much of memory as is really used b) you may use mount option -remount to increase the size of the filesystem, and add proper swapfiles if you see that you're running out of space (mkswap, swapon) Greetings, Alex Am Montag, 25.

[gentoo-user] kdevelop-3.5.4 && avahi && qt3-useflag
Hi there! I just wanted to emerge dev-util/kdevelop-3.5.4-r1 from kde-sunset, which failed because kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi-0.1.2-r1 fails to compile due to: * ERROR: kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi-0.1.2-r1 failed: * net-dns/avahi-0.6.24-r2 does not actually support the qt3 USE flag! The situation is quite a deadlock, because avahi doesn't support the qt3 useflag anymore, and the dependency for kdnssd-avahi comes through kdelibs, which selects either avahi or mdnsresponder depending on its avahi-useflag. Removing avahi for kdelibs is not possible, as it results in blocking packages (avahi and mdnsresponder cannot be installed at the same time), and removing avahi-support entirely for the whole system is a thing I really don't want to do. So, I'm stuck now, I can't install kdevelop-3.5.4 due to use-flag problems which are entirely irrelevant for kevelop :-( Thanks for suggestions Alex

[gentoo-user] Skype && pulseaudio
Hi there! The 2.1.x-Version of Skype seems to use pulseaudio if it finds a pulsaudio- deamon running, and doesn't allow to chose the audio device in this case. What I want to have is very simple: * Ringtone and any other sound produced by skype shall go to the internal sound device with loudspeakers connected * Audiostream for talking to someone shall go to the USB-Headset. How do I configure this? What I've tried so far: * pacmd shows skype as single client. I couldn't find a way to redirect it to the headset * I've installed padevchoser, but it only allows me to change the default device, and the setting seems to be ignored by skype. Thanks Alex
