stage3-intel64-haswell-funtoo-stable-2015-09-19 :) Is my "primary" OS :P ___

Hi uxcn and thank you for your interest ... :) I've used also 2 utilities for this "Hitachi HTS541040G9AT00" written ohn a bootable cd-rom (FreeDOS i think), but they have not solved the trouble about sector 0 :( Hi sputnik and Thanx to You for the interest ... :) I don't need to rescue data but only that the HDD return to be able to start. The error is about sector 0 I've tryed also 2 utilities downloaded from "Hitachi" .... but without solving the trouble :( Now i'm using # badblock -svw -d 512 -c 1 /dev/sda 15 houres that it runs without errors .... and i think that are necessary 15 - 20 hours to complete. Now i want to learn more about HDD. Thank You All for suggestions. I will inform you when badblocks will terminate :)

Hi. A friend of mine has an old IBM Thinkpad laptop; but the HDD (Hitachi 40 GiB) doesn't start (run). Using SysRescueCD , i've seen in the kernel messages at startup that that there are messages about troubles for block (sector ?) 0 I've tried a "zero-fill" using dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda but nothing is changed; then a # badblocks -svn /dev/sda But it doesn't found errors. Then i think (last chanche) to make a "real old style" method for attempting to repristinate the hdd (if possible). Someone know a right method ? Thanx very much for any suggestion.

grep -i bsd /etc/portage/make.conf /etc/portage/package.* epro list cat /var/lib/portage/world cat /etc/make.conf

If this issue is not solved after the advices by the Great Cardinal, also thake a look on your make.conf if it has "correct syntax"; sometimes must create trouble also a "little" error in make.conf to give errors. If You want ... paste it :)

Happy new Year ..... I love Funtoo ... it's my preferred system :P Thanks Daniel & Oleg and to all users :) :) :) I love YOu :)

Thank You for the information :) Hi Great Tassie_Tux :)

[ot] Cardinal is a real great Master of Funtoo :) [/ot] But ... Cardinal, i see thath you use the "new tecnique" used by Gentoo about te /etc/portage/package.*/package_name Do You think is a better solution than to have only one file for /etc/portage/package.* ? Thank You :)

# emerge eix # eix-sync Post the result of # eix media-libs/libass And the result of # emerge -DNupv world --wioth-bdeps=y Thank You ! :)

You've select "pure64" in your profiles ? # epro list And in make.conf must be set ABI_X86="64" then take a look to "emerge --info" and to /etc/portage/package.use if is enabled some abi_32 variable. However, i've a multilib system and the space for lib32 is: sandro@ci74771ht ~ $ du -hs /lib32/ 5,8M /lib32/ Then a very little space on the disk :)

Thank You uxcn ... You're very very kind :) Good For All :) God Bless you :)

Oh this discussion take a relevant interesting (for me :P) ; I'm happy that You're a very kind man :); i'm a "little penguin"; but i want to learn as more as possible :) viewing this benchs ( http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=clang-37-gcc52&num=1) it seems that llvm creates better binary code for some applications ...... I'd like to try with Your method ..... :) but there is also * dev-lang/icc Available versions: ~13.0.0.079^m ~13.0.1.117^m ~13.1.2.146^m ~13.1.3.163^m ~13.1.5.192^m ~14.0.0.080^m ~14.0.1.106^m ~14.0.2.144^m ~14.0.3.174^m ~15.0.0.090^m ~15.0.1.133^m ~15.0.2.164^m ~15.0.3.187^m {eclipse examples multilib LINGUAS="ja"} Homepage: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-composer-xe/ Description: Intel C/C++ Compiler hehe i've "stoled" (copied in a text file) your make.conf (i wanna study it)... cause one of this days i want to make experience with llvm; than i will tell to you about some benchmarks that i can make on my system :) Only one question: about LDFLAGS, i've "LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -Wl,--has-stile=gnu". so to have: ci74771ht ~ # emerge --info|grep LDFLAGS LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--hash-style=gnu" I can see that you've declared also the -march ..... it is necessary using llvm ? Excuse me for my questions ....

I know that about the time implied to compile an ebuild may be faster with llvm; but i'm interested not for compiling time, but about the binary code generated by a compiler; in Phoronix for example (excuse me but i've not a link at this moment) there are comparisons about gcc vs llvm/clang. also comared to ICC (Intel C Compiler) and also Open64 (AMD open source compiler, present since few time ago also in portage tree). The resultstold to me that gcc is the more performant compiler (about binary code generated) (not in all cases but considering the average....). But ... since clang is in evolution (but also gcc), the answers may be done looking the benchs :) Try to "take a look" if You want in Phoronix website :) Hi ... and hope not have bored You :) With Estimate. Sandro :) PS: Excuse me if i'm little "off topic" :|. May be Sympathic to open a new thread about various compiler performancies ... :) Ciao :D (from Italy) :)

Hi uxcn :) So you've choiced clang/llvm as your "default compiler" ? excuse me for my question ..... why that choiche ? (For example i've experimented PC-BSD 11.X and is very slower vs 10.X (that use GCC as compiler)) mumble... mumble... Thank You for any suggestion :) I think that if you declare the "-march" , the "-mtuse" is redundant..... (not utile?) I see a -j16 .... WOW !!! :P :P :P your system is based on a dual Xeon (with 4 cores / 8 threads) both ? Thanks for suggestions :)

Since in the ouput there was files in conflict, i've choiced this way to be sure that re-emerging oxygen-icons might be compiled without errors. I know about the --keep-going; I use it if i want to recompile (emerge -e world) the entire system and "sleep without problem" :D

I'm very happy about the "succes" and for your words ... thanx dear friend :)

# emerge -C oxygen-icons # emerge -DNu world Solved (for me)

In current, only the last ebuild creates also for me troubles. # echo "=media-sound/ncmpcpp-0.7_beta1">>/etc/portage/package.mask" Can give temporarely for You a solution. Excuse me Cardinal ... hope not to have bored You :|

@Cardinal: Thank You Cardinal: I'm trying some experiment: for example with Funtoo "Stable" on my system the 0.6.8 is correctly compiled. Now I try with "Stable" if also the 0.7_beta_! compiles or not on Stable. _________________________________________________________________ Ok ..... with Stable also the last 0.7_? compiled succesfully ...... Now I must terminate the compilation of Chromium .... then I make experiemnts also in "current". I wish my little feedback can be utile :)

Try to paste the output ..... (e.g. emerge -DNupv sqlite world)

Have you tried for example: # emerge --sync && emerge -1u ncmpcpp && emerge -DNupv world ? Or try to mask temporarely with # echo ">=media-sound/ncmpcpp-0.6.9">>/etc/portage/package.mask # emerge -DNu world --with-bdeps=y -pv

Hi; i've compiled gentoo-sources-4.3.0 with "experimental USE flag". I had to unmask nvidia-drivers 358.09 cause the 355.11-r2 doesn't run with this kernel. But i've seen in stdout and in the use one new features: about the use is "kms" (Kernel Mode Setting). In stdouth , now, 1) Install nvidia module 2) install nvidia-uvm module 3) install nvidia-modeset module How to take advantages from this new feature ? Thank You for any suggestion.

I think that the simplicity of Portage can really visible when you must change "destination" of your computer. With FreeBSD you must use "make config-recursive" and have in your mind if one charachteristic (rappresented in *too by the global or local USE flags) if it is enabled or disabled. For me Portage is more rational than FreeBSD ports technology. And there are a lot of instruments to see if the system is "consistent" (e.g. revdep-rebuild). For me Portage is the most evoluted package manager in this planet. there is also Paludis for *too. Another advantage is that with Funtoo (or Gentoo), 98% of the ebuilds supports full multithreading; in FreeBSD you can't estabilished a jobserver .... most programs use the default (-j2). try in freebsd to install for example htop: then whereis htop so make config-recursive then make install clean but it will be single-threaded. Try to type make -j9 install && make clean .... you'll got error. More time to compile it..... more time to change it and more difficulties. But This is only my tought. The flexibility that give portage is veri high ..... Take a look: this "electronic guitar" has Gentoo inside :) Bye :)

Hi; I use nvidia-drivers and i'd like to change the resolution in tty [1..6]. How I can do this ? I've made various experiments modifing /etc/default/grub but without results (either using boot-update than grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg). Thank You.
