What are the DE thath You want on your sistem (KDE4, KDE5, Gnome, Xfce ,icevm, lxqt, lxde, fluxbox .... etc) ? Do You want one or more DE (Desktop Enviroments) or WM (Windows manager) in Your system ? Could i see your ego profile show # cat /var/lib/portage/world # cat /etc/portage/make.conf # eselect java-vm list ? Cause when we have "circular dependencies" , we must generally disable only temporarily one or more USE flags. In YOur case may be necessary to disable temporarely "introspection" or "python". _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ PS: here there are my config files .... I don't know .... but may be to be utile for You ..... but this is an "off-topic" ; excuse me _'_ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

also last nvidia-drivers aren't compatible with git-sources :|

# eselect python set 3 # env-update && . /etc/profile # python-updater # perl-cleaner --modules # revdep-rebuild # emerge -DNu world --with-bdeps=y # emerge -c # emerge firefox Try that way .... if You want _'_ If this method doesn't run, post your cat /var/lib/portage/world cat /etc/portage/make.conf If the portage requires "emerge @preserved-rebuild", simply make: # emerge @preserved-rebuild

@ onli .... Thanks for Your aid :)

Output of: eselect python list

Dear Cardinal: i've installed the microcode_ctl but it is not enabled in any runlevels. I've with gento-sources-4.4.6: sandro@ci74771ht ~ $ zgrep MICROCODE /proc/config.gz CONFIG_MICROCODE=y CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL=y # CONFIG_MICROCODE_AMD is not set CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE=y Do You think that may be better to change the kernel with different version (type, older or newer) ? Thanx a lot for Your aid :)

Try to post build.log and your Env ... if you are on "current" , "stable" , 32 or 64 bits ecc :)

So I use "GLX" with nvidia but "EGL" with old radeon _'_ But Gles and Gles2 ? are for "embedded systems ...... _'_ mumble mumble ......

Hi to all; I've 2 systems: 1) PC Desktop with cpu intel 4771, nVidia GTX 660, 16 GiB ram. 2) An old laptop "Acer" con cpu Athlon 64x2 @ 1,9 GHz, Radeon HD 3200, 3 GiB Ram. With PC "1" i use plasma-5 without troubles with "GLX" with nvidia-drivers. With the laptop, using "glx" i've graphical errors; instead if I use "egl" all seems to work fine. But ... what is the best choiche ? "glx" or "egl" ? Thanx for answers :)

@ Cardinal: i've tryed and execute all commands in your link; but doesn't work :| At boot i've kernel panic. I'm returned with previous config. Thanx for suggestions :) And ... Enabling microcode_ctl system crashes :| @ Overkill: np ... :)

I'm on stable with gentoo-sources compiled with genkernel; I don't want Debian-sources and my situation is: sandro@ci74771ht ~ $ uname -a Linux ci74771ht 4.4.6-gentoo #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 18 21:13:38 CEST 2016 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4771 CPU @ 3.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux sandro@ci74771ht ~ $ zgrep MICROCODE /proc/config.gz CONFIG_MICROCODE=y CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL=y # CONFIG_MICROCODE_AMD is not set CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE=y sandro@ci74771ht ~ $ zgrep EARLY /proc/config.gz CONFIG_FIX_EARLYCON_MEM=y CONFIG_GENERIC_EARLY_IOREMAP=y CONFIG_SERIAL_EARLYCON=y CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y # CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP is not set CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_EFI=y I must try with a newer version of gentoo-sources ? Thanx

Dear Overkill .... also i use Intel P-state disabled and all runs correctly; The real trouble is: Why in Fedora 24 with P-state enabled there are not trouble about scaling cpu frequencies ? With Funtoo i must use Your solution with P-state disabled. I'd like to have my cpu running under P-state mode correctly. But for now it seems impossible; if i activate P state for Intel, i've no great scaling and benching for example boinc i've better results with your method. May be also that there are Intel's cpu with "a bug" about P-state ..... For example my i7 4771 doesn't accept updates for microcode; for example if I make # service microcode_ctl start The systems have various errors .... :( Excuse me ... hope not to have bored You :) However ... my Funtoo Stable runs very very well :) my system is all "consistent" (in Italian ... "coerente") :)

May be that my cpu is bugged :| Using i7z for monitoring cpu, using boinc is 35x (3500 MHz) if i compile kernel i7z tell to me that th cores runs at 37x (3700 MHz); Globally there is not a very good scaling; I return to cpupower without Intel P-state enabled "in kernel" :|

@ Overkill : then you use in kernel as default the "ondemand" governor ? @whiteghost : tomorrow i will make other experiments with i7z (01:23 in my town) i go to sleep now. Thanx :)

Excuse me for third post ..... I've used boinc (that for me is the software which for me it is the most resource-hungry and also it raises more than anything else the temperatures of the cores) to test the 2 situations: 1) with Intel P-state enabled in kernel , with MATE DE, I obtain ~4300 for Weathston (fpu) per core and only ~ 10500 in Integer (Drystone). :o 2) Without Intel P-state fpu (Whetstone) is similar, but in integer (Dhrystone) is near 15000 MIPS per core Then for this moment the choice is to use cpupower without P-state driver. But that discussion is ever opened ..... Who knows what will happen in the future ? Hi to All & great Dear whiteghost :)

However, for now, i think that in portage there aren't softwares to tune the cpu (may be with systemd ? but i hate systemd) For me is "Pseudo-solved" this topic. But is open for new ideas to have the best ratio performances / Watt. Hello :)

Thanx Great; Your command runs; but the frequency on my system, in "idle", are too high (i've imposed from 800 to 3900) but it vary from 3,5 to 3,9 GHz :| This trouble is really difficult for me. Sorry friend :(

Take a look about those outputs and discussion (excuse me if it is in Italian): What tells watch -n 0,5 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "MHz"' with your configuration ? Or ... Do You use some other commands for looking real-time cpufreq with Intel P-state enabled ? Thank You :)

Hello ... I have a system with Intel i7 4771 CPU (Haswell) @ 3.5 GHz. In the kernel menuconfig I find "P-state" for Intel processors> = Sandy-Bridge. Problem: If I install cpupower to change the governor and monitor frequency changes, cpupower not work ... then remains inactive (rc-update add cpupower default && rc) Removing P-state by the kernel, cpupower works ....... I would like a bit 'deeper into this topic; and figure out what might be the most correct thing to do. I also tried sys-power / ncpufreqd; but is the same than with cpupower. Fedora kernel, have enabled P-state; and I can monitor the frequencies that scale from 800 MHz to 3.5 GHz .. But fedora uses systemd ... and being ignorant of systemd I do not know how to move properly for Funtoo :( How can I do with Funtoo to get the same result? Thanks for any suggestions :)

Ok Great Oleg :)

Ok Overkill .....

Thanx Dear Cardinal. However for me is important that is not a big trouble .... But i've never installed "for chemistry" ebuilds. I make an experiment to refresh all the portage (mv /usr/portage/ /usr/portage_old && emerge --sync). No ... my idea does not bring benefits; I wait for the bug fix Thanx Magic Cardinal ;)
