during updates i've encountered that suggestion .... to set to >= 2048 CONFIG_SND_HDA_PREALLOC_SIZE=64 But how to do ? I have not really grasped this message. Thanx for suggestions :)

I use the "Stable" branch and i've no issues _'_ You can make a downgrade to kde/plasma 4.

I think that may be better to open a new discussion in the forum :) If You want, there's also the irc (Freenode, #funtoo). Good for All :)

There isn't the file .... In my "Official Funtoo KDE + xfce4" it is ok: ci74771ht ~ # cat /etc/env.d/02locale # Configuration file for eselect # This file has been automatically generated.

Excfuse me for double post. Now i've made a new little step about this trouble. I've recompiled glibc with "empty locale.gen file". So, now, in terminal and other softwares, the italian layout runs fine :P But i've warnings .... and i don't know which may be the best choice from: ci74771ht ~ # eselect locale list|grep it /etc/env.d/02locale: riga 5: attenzione: setlocale: LC_TIME: impossibile cambiare la localizzazione (CLC_MONETARY=CLC_PAPER=CLC_MEASUREMENT=C) /etc/env.d/02locale: riga 5: attenzione: setlocale: LC_TIME: impossibile cambiare la localizzazione (CLC_MONETARY=CLC_PAPER=CLC_MEASUREMENT=C) [441] it_CH [442] it_CH.iso88591 [443] it_CH.utf8 [444] it_IT [445] it_IT.iso88591 [446] it_IT.iso885915@euro [447] it_IT.utf8 * [448] it_IT@euro [449] italian And i've this output for example: ci74771ht ~ # emerge lshw setlocale: unsupported locale setting setlocale: unsupported locale setting Calculating dependencies \ How To Solve ? Thanks for any suggestion / explanation :)

@quantum: nothing to do; the error compares also with my system.

I'm with the "stable", and i've made an experiment installing gnucash. When I try to update @world i'm in the same your situation. But .... is necessary to update guile ? Which ebuilds requires strictly the 2.0.11 ? :wacko: However, i've emerged gnucash; then emerge @preserved-rebuild (4 ebuilds recompiled with guile 1.8.x). Making a revdep-rebuild only libreoffice-bin was reinstalled.

And if You use: # emerge -DNupv world --with-bdeps=y How is the output ?

Or is possible to use "-march=native" take a look with 2 terminals the differencies between echo 'int main(){return 0;}' > test.c && gcc -v -Q -march=native -O2 test.c -o test && rm test.c test and echo 'int main(){return 0;}' > test.c && gcc -v -Q -march=skylake -O2 test.c -o test && rm test.c test Now there are also the ultimates processors (Broadwell-E with turbo boost technology 3.0 and other new features) :wacko: Then same "family" may have differencies with new "steppings". So I use "native". And if You want to use gentoo-sources with experimental local use flag enabled You can compile also the kernel optimized for various architectures and also with "native".

Hi to All. It is not working correctly suspension ram on an Acer laptop "Aspire" 5230. When i close the cover, it seems that go in suspension.

Thanx for Your answer :) However is possible to change the size of /dev/shm using the size= in mount options. By default /dev/shm is "half of the total RAM" shm 7,9G 308K 7,9G 1% /dev/shm If i do # mount -o remount,size=15G /dev/shm shm 15G 8,8M 15G 1% /dev/shm E.G. if you don't start the graphic system i think that You could use up to 3 GiB for your temporary file system. Or may be to have a "conflict" in this case with the /run giving then possible errors or have "swapping" ? (Now I try to compile debian-sources with "binary" thath requires 14 GiB to make a little test) About ccache the "gain" about speedness to compile is expecially for devel that may test softwares then recompile more then once the same ebuild to test it (It was so written in the Gentoo Guide); but i can make a little test; have you got some personal xperience about the use of ccache (e. g. using qlop -gH or time emerge ebuild) ? Thanx (i hope not to bore you with those questions). PS: 15 GiB for debian-sources (with binary) are not sufficient; so i've made a # mount -o remount,size=16G /dev/shm And now i'm compiling it. I'm curious if the system will swap (i'm on KDE 4.x with all effects enabled). OK: little "report" time to compiling debian-sources: real 17m57.877s swap up to 3 GiB (but is fast cause is in a partion of my ssd) Software opened during compilation: firefox, thunderbird, htop. now the situation is: ci74771ht ~ # free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 15993 1166 13347 14 1478 14712 Swap: 8191 222 7969 I hope that this experiment could be considered a little nice :)

Thank You very mutch; i've bookmarked this page :) But ... I wonder which of the two methods can be considered better ? mumble mumble ... I think a discussion "fruitful and interesting" :) 2 GB for /var/tmp may be usable for not all the ebuilds .... However, with 4 GiB of RAM the /dev/shm (that is half of total memory by default) create the same situation (then 2GiB of /dev/shm mounte as tmpfs). mumble .... What do You think About ? I hope that my method must have not troubles about "security" .... :| Thanx Friend :)

tmp-meteque: I'm curious; what method do you use to compile in RAM ? Do You mount /var/tmp on a tmpfs ? Could I see Your /etc/fstab ? Thanks dear friend _'_

cardinal: You are a "real master" and Your knoledge is very great :) I'd like to be Your friend :) I thought also about a $ su -c "# emerge =x11-base/xorg-server-1.18.3 I don't like "sudo" and i don't use it. Thank You to have explained about "zsh" :) However, dear Cardianl you're a "real great Teacher" :) Thanks for Your works _'_ Greetings Sandro :)

Uhm ... very strange. Try $ su - insert root_passwordd # emerge -DNupv =x11-base/xorg-server-1.18.3 Thiis (and eventually other) ebuild(s) must be unmasked.

Since i've 16 GiB of ram i use /dev/shm as PORTAGE_TMPDIR to compile the system (however, /dev/shm after a reboot will be cleaned up; /dev/shm is a tmpfs in RAM "volatile memory"). using in /etc/fstab: shm /dev/shm tmpfs exec,rw,mode=1777 0 0 About eclean, i think that your "policy" is better than the mine .... also for Cardinal my method is not "the right way". Last thing, I remove older kernels; so take a look in /usr/src/ and in /lib/modules if there are "ancient" kernels that requires space on disk. (excuse my "bad US Language"). Pleased that you've solved :) Hello Friends :)

Hi hope not to bore .... But sometimes i think may be a good thing to take a look into directories with "obsolete" files to have a gain about space on disk. The "*Trash" must be deleted sometimes.... so i've asked about df -h and du -hs For Example I've my 2 little and very elementary scripts that i use to clean system: ci74771ht ~ # cat Pulisci rm -rf /usr/portage/distfiles rm -rf /var/tmp/portage rm -rf /dev/shm/portage And ci74771ht ~ # cat Clean_Kernel cd /usr/src/linux && make clean && cd ~ With my Clean_kernel i can free 8 GiB of temp files (i use genkernel). For me is a good idea. Hello to All _||_ PS: and after an # emerge -DNu world --with-bdeps=y , # emerge -c
