Looking at the git commit for the cmake-utils.eclass removal [1], it seems it
should be replaced by cmake.eclass. I don't know if it's just a matter of
replacing the inherit line in ebuild or if there are other changes to make,
however.
I hope this helps

[gentoo-user] media-libs/lcms-2.13 causes weird printer output
Hello to everyone, since upgrading media-libs/lcms from version 2.12 to 2.13, any text document I print has a dark gray background instead of a white one. The printer is a HP OfficeJetPro 8715 which uses hplip and works correctly with lcms-2.12. I tried with PDF files and with LibreOffice text documents and the result is the same. Has anyone had similar issues? I was going to file a bug report, but before doing so I'd like to know whether it can be an issue with my system. Searching google I didn't find anything. Thanks in advance Stefano

I tried removing the .texlive directory, but nothing changed. However, on my laptop it worked correctly even with texlive-2021, which is strange because its configuration is very similar to that of my desktop PC (where it doesn't work). The list of texlive-related packages is the same in both machines, so I can't really understand what's going on. However, in the meanwhile, I found a workaround for the issue with LyX: enabling the "Use non-TeX fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX)" document setting makes it work even on the desktop PC (when I wrote the original mail, I had masked texlive-2021 on my laptop to have a system where LyX worked correctly; after discovering this workaround, I felt safe in upgrading it; I didn't think about testing this problem there). I had reported this issue on the LyX bug tracker and they answered me this issue would be fixed in a future release. Stefano
[gentoo-user] Problems with LyX and xetex-2021
Hello to everyone,
since upgrading my ~arch system to TeXLive-2021 I'm having problems using
XeLaTeX to compile LyX documents. Has someone else experienced this issue? I'd
like to file a bug report about it, but before doing so I'd like to be sure
that there isn't something wrong with my system.
Below you'll find the details of my problem.
Thanks in advance
Stefano
DETAILS
When I use LyX to create a PDF using XeLaTeX from the attached test.lyx file
(using the default LaTeX (XeTeX) -> PDF (XeTeX) converter), I get an error
dialog with the following text:
The external program
xelatex
finished with an error. It is recommended you fix the cause of the external
program's error (check the logs).
As far as I can see, the log (attached as log_from_lyx) don't mention any
error, except for the generic (at least to my eyes) line
"Error 256 (driver return code) generating output;"
near the end.
Trying to obtain a better error message, I exported the LyX file as a XeLaTeX
file using the File/Export LaTeX (xetex) menu entry and run xelatex on it. Of
course, it failed, but this time the log (in the log_from_xelatex attachment)
contains a more meaningful message:
"xdvipdfmx:fatal: Cannot proceed without .vf or "physical" font for PDF
output..."
Unfortunately, I'm not expert enough in the inner works of (xe)latex to
understand this message. I tried searching google for it but didn't find
anything useful. However, looking at the tex file generated by LyX (the
test.tex attachment), I noticed the line
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
which seemed strange to me, as I thought that the fontenc package shouldn't be
used with XeLaTeX. Indeed, after commenting this line, xelatex successfully
created the correct PDF.
This problem has almost certainly been caused by switching texlive and the
related packages from 2020 to 2021, since on another computer where I masked
the 2021 version of app-text/texlive-core, app-text/texlive and all packages
in category dev-texlive, everything works correctly.

Do you have the doc USE flag enabled for bundler? If I understand correctly, bundler only depends on rdoc if that flag is enabled. I think that if you remove the flag, it should work correctly.

I tried comparing my /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf with the one which comes with a current stage3 and found out mine had the line sync-openpgp-keyserver = hkps://keys.gentoo.org which was missing in the file from stage3. Removing it (both here and in /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf) allowed me to sync correctly. I hope this is the correct fix. I don't remember ever writing this line, so I suppose it came with the original stage3 I built my system from or was changed by another update (an update of what, however? According to `equery b`, this file doesn't belong to any package). I hope thing will keep working. Stefano

Thanks for the answer. I'd heard of this attack and read this [1] article on gentoo.org. From what I understand, it said that in theory there shouldn't be problems when syncing because "The gemato tool used to verify the Gentoo ebuild repository uses WKD by default. During normal operation it should not be affected by this vulnerability". Reading the article again, I now see it also says that "In the worst case; Gentoo repository syncs will be slow or hang" which, as you suggest, could very well be what's happened on my system. Unfortunately, the article doesn't say what to do if this happens. Tomorrow I'll try investigating more. Stefano [1] https://www.gentoo.org/news/2019/07/03/sks-key-poisoning.html
[gentoo-user] emerge --sync: problem refreshing keys
Hello to everyone, since yesterday emerge --sync fails because it can't refresh keys. The messages I get are: Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/usr/portage'... * Using keys from /usr/share/openpgp-keys/gentoo-release.asc * Refreshing keys via WKD ... [ !! ] * Refreshing keys from keyserver hkps://keys.gentoo.org ...OpenPGP keyring refresh failed: gpg: refreshing 4 keys from hkps://keys.gentoo.org gpg: keyserver refresh failed: No keyserver available OpenPGP keyring refresh failed: gpg: refreshing 4 keys from hkps://keys.gentoo.org gpg: keyserver refresh failed: No keyserver available After that, it goes on for a while with the same message. As I have seen no messages regarding this either here or on the forums, I guess there's something wrong on my system, but I can't imagine what's wrong. Two days ago I could sync without problems. Looking at the emerge log, I that that most of the packages I installed were from kde-frameworks and kde-apps, so I don't think they can have caused this issue. Do you have any idea about how to solve this issue? Searching Google, I found several mentions of similar issues, but they were old (about one year ago) and the proposed solution was to install app-portage/gemato-14.0. Of course, all older versions of gemato aren't in portage anymore, so that can't be the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue? Thanks in advance Stefano

Thanks for the answer. Do you have the kde use flag enabled? This morning I've tried several combinations of flags and only disabling the kde one this issue disappeared. Stefano

Currently I'm playing around with USE flags to see whether there's a combination of them which fixes the problem. I think it's somehow caused by the kde flag: I tried USE="gtk2 kde -gtk", USE="kde -gtk -gtk2" and USE="gtk -kde -gtk2" and the only configuration where this issue didn't appear was the one without kde. I've yet to try USE="-gtk2 kde gtk", but I don't think it'll work. I'm getting really annoyed by this, so I think later today I'll file a bug report. Stefano
[gentoo-user] Strange behavior of "tab" key with Libreoffice Calc and Plasma
Hello to everyone, a few months ago I started noticing a very annoying behavior when pressing the "tab" key in Libreoffice Calc. Previously, pressing this key would move the cursor by one cell to the right, so that I could immediately start writing into the cell. Now, while the cursor is moved to the correct cell (I can see the black border around it), I can't write in it immediately anymore. To move the cursor to the next cell and be able to immediately write in it, I need to press the tab key twice. It seems that somehow pressing the tab key once gives focus to the menu bar: pressing tab once, then pressing "F" brings down the file menu; pressing tab, then pressing "E" displays the edit menu and so on. I tried creating a new user, but this behavior doesn't change. Starting a new X session using fvwm instead of Plasma makes the tab key start working correctly again (but using fwvm --replace to replace the window manager from inside a Plasma session does not). I tried looking at the various keyboard shortcuts in both SystemSettings and Libreoffice Calc hoping to find some hints, but I didn't find anything suspicious. Has anyone experienced this behavior? I tried looking for a bug report on bugs.gentoo.org but I found none. I also tried google but again without results. Thanks in advance Stefano

Unfortunately, the hints on the page you linked didn't work. The firmware on that page is already included in linux-firmware (unless I'm missing something, of course). I tried compiling it in the kernel, but with no result. I believe the problem is something other than missing firmware, because I see no messages about failures to load firmware in dmes. I just noticed there are some audio-related messages in dmesg which I hadn't noticed before: [drm] HDaudio controller not detected, using LPE audio instead cht-bsw-rt5645: ASoC: CODEC DAI snd-soc-dummy-dai not registered cht-bsw-rt5645: snd_soc_register_card failed -517 I don't know whether they're significant or they're spurious messages caused by my including every possible sound card drivers in the kernel. I fear you're right about this Transformer not being linux friendly: I just found out that it doesn't recognize the power button, either. I think right now I need a break from this machine: I've alread spent about three days working on it and I have other things to do. I'll try to rebuild a kernel from scratch in a few days; in the meanwhile I'll use it as it is. Thanks again Stefano
[gentoo-user] help installing Gentoo on Asus Transformer T101HA
Hello to everyone, I'm trying to install Gentoo on an Asus Transformer T101HA and there are some issues I'd need help with. First of all, I must say that many things worked fairly easily. I performed the installation from a SysrescueCD USB stick where almost everything, including WiFi and touchscreen, worked out of the box (aside from having to find out how to rotate the screen, both in X and in framebuffer). After installing everything (of course, compiling all packages on my desktop machine), there are still some things which don't work. One is the touch screen but, given that it worked using the SysrescueCD stick, I'm not worried too much about it (besides, I'm not planning to use it much). The most troublesome issues, right now, are the sound card and the SD card reader. Both of them simply don't seem to exist: they didn't work with the SysrescueCD stick, I can't find any mention of either of them in the output of dmesg, lspci and lsusb and Google gave pratically no answer. I'm starting to think neither of them is supported with Linux but I haven't been able to find any definitive information about this. I tried activating all kernel options I could find which seemed vaguely related to them, but to no effect. Unfortunately, I haven't been able even to find out the exact models of the cards. All I know is that (according to Windows 10) the sound card is an Intel SSt Audio Device (WDM), while the codec is a Realtek I2S Audio Codec. I have no information at all on the SD card reader. The motherboard, according to lshw, is a T101HA by AUSTeK. I attach my last version of the kernel config (using gentoo-sources-4.14.9 which, I just found out, now seems to be masked). I'd be glad for any hint about these issues. I spent all of this afternoon trying to solve them and I can't really think what else I could try.

[gentoo-user] gentoo on SSD
Hello to everyone, I just bought a 250 GB SSD and I'm planning to install Gentoo on it. I've read the Gentoo Wiki page on this and searched Google for hints on this, but since I found out that much information was either contradictory or outdated, I'm asking anyone with first-hand experience on this for advice. My system is as follows: - 250GB SSD - 1TB HDD - 16GB RAM I'm planning to partition the SSD this way: - 100 GB -> / (on my current system, / is about 70GB) - 100 GB -> /home - 16 GB -> swap (mainly for hibernation) - 200 MB -> /boot /var/tmp/portage should go into a tmpfs (12GB). I've read that someone suggested putting also /tmp on a tmpfs. Right now, on my system /tmp is less than 100 MB, so I believe this should cause no problems, but is it necessary? Large files, such as Steam games and maybe distfiles should instead go on the 1TB HDD. I have some doubts about the swap partition. With 16 GB of RAM I shouldn't usually need swap except for hibernating (that's the reason I'm putting it on the SSD); however, I fear that compiling some large packages could fill all that space. Would it be bad to have the swap partition on the SSD used this way every now and then? Should I create another swap partition on the HDD and give it higher priority? What do you think? Do you have any advice on how to best set up such a system? Thanks in advance Stefano

I've ordered the laptop and it should > arrive next week. I'll let you know how it goes. > > Stefano All right. The laptop has arrived last Thursday (with memory expanded to 8GB) and, after a bit of work during the week-end I succeeded in installing a fully working ~amd64 Gentoo on it, with everything I need working perfectly (as far as I can tell). Unless some something unexpected come out in the future, I'm quite happy with this laptop. In case anybody is interested, here are some details on what works and what doesn't or I haven't tested. I'll also include a copy of my .config if someone finds it useful (it may contain unneeded stuff, but it works). What works: * video card: works flawlessly with Plasma 5 and the default effects enabled. I had some trouble in finding out which firmware and use flags enabled. In the end, I enabled the i965 and intel VIDEO_CARDS and everything seems to work (I didn't try anything graphics intensive, however) * wireless: this is the first wireless card which worked without problems from the installation medium: I created a wpa_supplicant.conf file with the network settings, run /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant restart and the connection was there. After that, I only needed to find out the correct driver and firmware and insert them in the kernel * touchpad: this gave me some problems because I couldn't find out the correct options to insert in the kernel. However, after a lot of attempts, checking everything related to 12C which seemed even remotely connected with a touchpad, it started working. Most likely, currently my kernel contains some unneeded options, but I don't have the time to find out which they are * sound card: this too required a bit of work because I didn't know which codec I should use. At last, trying everyone, I found out the correct one was SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI * suspend and hibernate: both work correctly (regarding hibernate, I have set up a swap partition of 16GB: I don't know whether it's too much, but as I have space to spare, I don't care) What doesn't work so well: * bluetooth: the adapter is recognized. However, following the instructions in the Gentoo wiki [1] I couldn't connect with my smartphone: everything went well up to the "connect" command, then I got a "can't connect" error. I tried doing the same from Bluedevil (the KDE bluetooth manager), with the same result: however, I could send files between laptop and smartphone. I don't know whether this behavior is expected with such a device, since I almost never use bluetooth. What I haven't tested: * card reader * wireless display. One of the issues which worried me more was setting up correctly an UEFI system. I don't have much experience with such systems so, among the various options I found online, I chose Refind as it seemed the easiest one. I proceeded this way: * from the UEFI screen, I disabled Secure Boot and UEFI boot (I wasn't sure the Gentoo installation stick would boot from UEFI) * I booted from the Gentoo installation stick and setup everything according to the installation handbook, except for the Grub2 part. According to the Refind instructions [2], I enabled the EFI stub in the kernel * I copied the kernel to the usual /boot partition (with ext2 filesystem; ext3, ext4 or other filesystems supported by Refind would have worked as well) * from Windows, I installed Refind [3], following to the letter the instructions given in [4]. Here, the author warns about issues with Windows 10, but, luckily, I didn't have any * I installed the kernel in the boot partition as

Have you by any chance upgraded libgcrypt to 1.7.4? There's a bug report about kwallet:5 and libgcrypt 1.7.4 [1]. I had exactly the same issue yesterday and solved it by downgrading libgcrypt to 1.7.3. I hope this helps Stefano [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602502

The problem is that konqueror has been without a full time mantainer for a long time, since the original author shifted his attention to other parts of KDE. Since last year I took up the role of konqueror mantainer, but unfortunately I had much less free time to work on it than I hoped for back then. Currently, the situation regarding konqueror is the following: * the application itself has been ported from KDE4/Qt4 to KDE Frameworks/Qt5 by its original author (David Faure). This means that it compiles and mostly works, including the integration with dolphin. There are several bugs, however. * I've ported most of the plugins (only the user agent plugin doesn't work completely) * I'm in the process of porting the sidebar, which is the last part of konqueror still using KDE 4. However, different from the rest of the application, porting this is going to be a lot of work. This is because the sidebar (or rather, parts of it) still uses a compatibility library used to port applications from KDE 3 to KDE 4. This library, of course, doesn't exist in KDE Frameworks, which means that a large part of the sidebar code needs to be almost rewritten. I've thought of writing an ebuild for the developer version of konqueror, (a one, of course), since the application is currently mostly working (I use it as my primary browser, even if I have to switch to other browser every now and then for sites which won't work with it). The reason I haven't done so is that konqueror requires libkonq and that the 4 and 5 versions of libkonq can't be installed together. Since many applications from kde 4 still use it, this would create an issue. Stefano

[gentoo-user] laptop/tablet convertibles linux compatibility
Hello to everyone. I'd like to buy a laptop/tablet convertible and to install Gentoo on it. Searching Google I couldn't find up to date information about the linux compatibility of this kind of device (most of the pages I found are at least a couple of years old and at any rate, they give quite contradictory information). Does anyone know what the situation is like today in this regard? In particular, I'm looking to buy some of the less expensive convertibles, at most around 300€ (350$), as my needs for it are modest (basically, as I'm a teacher, I'd like to use it as a tablet in the classroom to record absent students, marks and so on instead of the very old tablet the school provided and to use it as a laptop to read e-books and write while traveling to school by bus). Looking on amazon, I found some models which could satisfy my needs: * Asus T100TAF-BING-DK024B [1] * Asus T100TAL-BING-DK034B [2] * Acer Aspire Switch W5-012-149A [3] * HP Pavilion x2 10-n002nl [4] Does anyone know whether they work with Gentoo? Are there any models which work well and that I overlooked?

[gentoo-user] logging out from kde plasma 5
Hello to everyone. I've being trying plasma 5 from the kde overlay for the last two weeks. Among other issues I've found, the worst one is the fact that I can no longer close cleanly the plasma session. Using the log out, halt or reboot commands from the application launcher gives me a screen with a 30 seconds timeout, a list of the three options, logout, reboot and halt and two buttons, one to cancel and one to exit immediately. However, whether I press the button or I wait for the timeout to end, nothing happens. The only ways to close the session are either to issue a reboot or halt command from a shell or kill the X server with the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination. I've tried an Ubuntu plasma 5 live CD and with it quitting the session works correctly, so it means there's something wrong either with the gentoo kde overlay (unlikely) or with my system (much more likely). Is there anybody who has any idea about this issue? Thanks in advance Stefano

Do you know when it's going to be placed in the main tree? thanks Hi, The KDE release structure has evolved[1], decoupling the release cycle of the Platform, Workspace, and Applications. This means that there is no longer a single Software Compilation in the same way there was with KDE 4. We (Gentoo KDE team) have not yet made a decision as to when the Plasma 5 Workspace will be pushed to the main tree. I've been using it on a daily basis for about six months, and consider the next release (5.1.0) to be a good candidate for the main tree. The underlying Platform (KDE Frameworks 5) upon which Plasma 5 is built is expected in the main tree in about a week, after the 5.3.0 release. Best regards, Michael [1]: https://dot.kde.org/2013/09/04/kde-release-structure-evolves I'd love to try KDE 5. So far I've been able to install Frameworks from the KDE overlay. I then tried to install the workspace, but it seems that it can't coexist with kde 4 (I get blockers from several kde 4 packages when trying to install). Is this correct, or am I doing something wrong? I use paludis as package manager, so maybe it behaves differently from portage and this is the reason for the blockers. I remember that when KDE 4 was released I used to run the live version, rebuilding everything every day. It was a very pleasant experience being able to witness how the programs improved, day after day. But I could do that because I could have both KDE 4 and KDE 3 installed at the same time: those days when a program I needed broke horribly in the KDE 4 live version, I could go on working using the KDE 3 version. Currently, if indeed KDE 4 and KDE 5 workspace can't be installed at the same time, I'll have to wait before trying the latter. Stefano
