The linked article "why hard drives fail" from the above fails to mention one of the most frequent failure modes that I have observed with my usage: the SATA connectors breaking after only 2-3 uses due to poor plastics used. Sometimes they can be repaired (on one drive I cut the end of a SATA cable and soldered the wires directly to the drive's PCB) but sometimes they're not.

Now with 1.4 up, how long will 1.3 be supported?
Here is the reason for my question. Yesterday I started experimenting with upgrading from 1.3 to 1.4. On a test machine (Core2Duo, 2 cores at 2.53GHz, -j2) I first installed a minimal 1.3 system, basically just the stage3 and a couple extra packages (firmware for wifi card etc). Then I started upgrading it to 1.4 as per instructions. The first part of the process, up to and including gcc, took over 9h. I stopped there for now as the day was running out, I'll continue later to get a total time for this minimal system.
Now, my main system that I'm looking at upgrading isn't that much more powerful; it's a laptop with dual-core Ivy Bridge CPU at 2.6GHz. Yes it is hyperthreaded so I can expect 1.5 to 2x the performance maybe. But it's not a minimal system so I'll have to budget a couple of days at least to upgrade it to 1.4, and I'd like to plan that in advance a few months. I'm hoping thus that 1.3 will continue to be supported at least through the end of the year.

I tried to emerge Kicad today; the emerge failed in the final step - kicad itself, though the dependencies all emerged successfully.. I'm attaching the required logs as a compressed archive.

Thanks for the explanation. That worked.

Thanks for your answer. I'm not familiar with using custom patches with portage. Which part of the message you linked to is the actual patch? I see the output of 2 diff commands, neither of which is an actual patch. I don't know what format portage expects the patch to be in.

I need to install the allegro library to work with an older piece of code. However allegro fails to emerge. I'm attaching the output of "emerge media-libs/allegro" as allegro.log, the output of "emerge --info '=media-libs/allegro-5.2.4.0::media-kit'" as info.log and the output of "emerge -pqv '=media-libs/allegro-5.2.4.0::media-kit'" as pqv.log

(edit) Yes it works fine.

Current up-to-date installation of Funtoo (1.3), trying to have Steam installed via flatpak.
The installation of flatpak was successful, then I added the Steam flatpak repo. Now trying to run Steam with flatpak.
As regular user, the output of "flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam" is
bwrap: No permissions to creating new namespace, likely because the kernel does not allow non-privileged user namespaces. On e.g. debian this can be enabled with 'sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1'. error: ldconfig failed, exit status 256
I looked around and the only mention of a similar problem was
The solution there was to run as root. However trying to run the above as root fails because Steam cannot run as root.
All help appreciated.

Yeah I figured that I would have to manually edit grub.cfg. For some reason adding an entry to boot.conf didn't work. But I copied the entry for win7 from the grub.cfg that would boot Windows only, and added it to the one that would boot Funtoo only. Now I have dual boot working. Thank you all for your help.

Background info: new install of Win7 and Funtoo on a laptop (HP Elitebook 8470p, core i7-3720, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD).
Partitioned as follows. The partition scheme is classic BIOS/MBR, not UEFI.
/dev/sda1 * 2048 206847 204800 100M 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda2 206848 747522047 747315200 356.4G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda3 747522048 957237247 209715200 100G 83 Linux /dev/sda4 957237248 1000215215 42977968 20.5G 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Win7 installed first, Funtoo second in the unpartitioned space that was divided into sda3 and sda4. No separate boot and home partitions. Used sysrescd 4.9.0 for the install. No problems until setting grub for dual boot.
I do have os-prober installed.
The same issue occurs with both grub-legacy and grub2. Installed grub on /dev/sda. I want to dual boot Funtoo and Win7 with Funtoo being the default, and a timeout of 10s.
1. Using either 'ego boot update' or just boot-update, a /boot/grub/grub.cfg is installed that allows me to boot Funtoo only, no entry for Windows. os-prober when run separately does find the Windows installation but apparently that doesn't get funneled into boot-update. Adding an entry for Windows in /etc/grub.d/40_custom with chainloading also gets ignored.
With that I can boot Funtoo, but not WIndows
2. Using grub or grub2's 'grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg' results in a config that has entries for Funtoo and Win7 but only Windows can be booted from it. Attempting to boot Funtoo results in a kernel panic because sda3 cannot be mounted as root partition.
I'm pasting below the two grub.cfg files; notice that the root partitions are defined differently in the files. I don't want to edit grub.cfg manually if I can help it.
Any ideas appreciated.

Okay, I've hit a bit of a snag. I've last installed a custom kernel when 2.6 was around as a new thing, and there have been many changes in between. I've tried several times, both with the vanilla 4.10.12 as well as with the 4.10.12 from sys-kernel/gentoo-sources using this as a guide: http://www.funtoo.org/Installing_Gentoo_Sources
It compiles and installs, but on reboot the kernel can't find the root partition. I have compiled support for ext2 and ext4 into the kernel, made sure the boot.conf has the right parameters (/boot is /dev/sda1 which is ext2, / is /dev/sda3 and it's ext4) but it still doesn't work. The default kernel 4.8.15-1 finds the root with the same parameters without any problem.
I think there may be something wrong with the initrd, but it's automatically generated by genkernel so I'm not sure why it doesn't work.
FWIW I use MBR.

FWIW 3 months later this problem is not resolved yet. Neither the nvidia nor the nouveau driver allow me to use the mouse in X on this machine.
From posts that I've seen on other forums (mostly Ubuntu, but other distros also) the nouveau driver at least is broken in this way in kernels 4.8 and 4.9 - and affecting primarily the mobile versions of GTX1070 and 1080. Supposedly it was fixed in kernel 4.10.
But of course, our kernel from debian-sources is 4.8.15-1, so no joy using that. I may end up compiling a custom kernel, since there's no sign of a fix from official sources.
-
Suspect a video driver problem after seeing people with other distributions (Ubuntu etc) reporting the same issue with the latest nvidia driver on GTX10xx cards (this laptop has a GTX1070 video card).
At a test I switched to using the nouveau driver, but the problem persists.
I see other people reporting that the only way to get rid of the problem was to switch to the Intel driver and use the built-in Intel GPU. This laptop however does not use the Intel GPU or Optimus/Bumblebee (it's an Eurocom Tornado F5, http://www.eurocom.com/ec/configure(2,384,0)TornadoF5). The only video output is from the GTX1070 card.
Looks like until the driver is fixed I'm SOL. :(

I just installed Funtoo on my new laptop. I have installed Funtoo in the past, but never on a laptop with only USB3 ports - and I think this may be related to the problem I'm having.
Installing the base system was a breeze, then I installed X. I tested it as per http://www.funtoo.org/X_Window_System; in twm the keyboard was working but the mouse pointer wouldn't move (I use a Logitech M325 mouse with USB dongle). In fact it only *apparently* wouldn't move; the pointer on the screen remained in a fixed position, but by moving the mouse I could in fact shift focus to one or the other of the xterms on the screen (even though the visible pointer wasn't over them).
I then installed xfce4, and again the mouse pointer won't move even though I can select things on screen by blindly moving the mouse.
The output of 'zcat /proc/config.gz | grep EVDEV' shows:
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=m
I did emerge xf86-input-evdev, but it didn't change the mouse behavior at all.
-
Oh my. I am so embarrassed. I have found the error - it was a typo. My clue was what I said above ".xinitrc set to start xfce, but it doesn't seem that it tries to do that for some reason"
So, I checked and... there it was. Instead of .xinitrc, I had named the file .xinit (for thr regular user only, root had .xinitrc named properly)
I fixed that, and now it works. The radeonsi driver was just a red herring.
Sorry for wasting everyone's time, mark this as "solved". :)
-
Well, it still doesn't work. The line about not finding the radeonsi driver is gone, but X still doesn't start.

So I'm still testing. I have added "radeonsi" to make.conf VIDEO_CARDS, and tried a emerge; it now wants some USE changes as such:
The following USE changes are necessary to proceed: (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details) # required by media-libs/mesa-11.0.7::gentoo[video_cards_radeonsi] # required by x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.4-r5::gentoo[glamor] # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) >=x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.65 video_cards_amdgpu # required by net-misc/modemmanager-1.4.8::gentoo[policykit] # required by net-misc/networkmanager-1.0.8::gentoo[modemmanager] # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) >=sys-auth/polkit-0.113 introspection # required by media-libs/mesa-11.0.7::gentoo[llvm,-opencl,-video_cards_r600,video_cards_radeon,video_cards_radeonsi] # required by x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.4-r5::gentoo[glamor] # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) >=dev-libs/elfutils-0.164 abi_x86_32
I'm adding those and retry, maybe that will do it. Now waiting to emerge 42 packages.
(I found some post on a Gentoo forum about cards >radeon HD7900 wanting the "radeonsi" driver in addition to "radeon")
I still don't get it why X+xfce works as root though.

I looked and looked, but I can't find documentation on the group 'video' or any documentation on a list of groups with descriptions. Rather maddening. This possible solution will at least be easy to try.
List your groups with the command: groups
Maybe one of them is 'video'. If not, maybe you need to make that group, but I am not sure.
List the members of the video group: groupmems -lg video
If the username w/o root privileges is not there, maybe it needs to be there?
To add to test it out: groupmems -g video -a <username>
For further info, if you did not know, try running 'dmesg' and also 'less /var/log/Xorg.0.log'.
dfun ~ # groups root bin daemon sys adm disk wheel floppy tape video dfun ~ # groupmems -lg video root dfun ~ # groupmems -g video -a silviu dfun ~ # groupmems -lg video root silviu
Let me test and see if that helped.
(edit) no, it still gives me the same error. IIRC the "video" group is for encoding and capturing video, not for X.
FWIW here's my list of profiles:

If you're trying to stat plain X, you must install twm, xterm, and xclock. If you're not trying to start plain X, edit /etc/init.d/xdm and put your preferred display mananger in there.
The error about radeonsi_dri.so could be that you don't have that file. Did you enable the radeon use flag when compiling Mesa? Do you have VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" in /etc/portage/make.conf ?
I am not trying to start plain X. I have installed xfce4-meta, and my .xinitrc is (for both root and regular user)
exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch
I also do have in /etc/portage/make.conf:
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev"
I don't use a display manager, just plain xfce. I think if it were a mesa issue it wouldn't work as root either.
Like I said it works as root (xfce starts and runs as it should), but it crashes as regular user.

Continuing the install from my other thread; I managed to get the base system installed, followed by Xorg, the radeon driver (I have a Radeon HD7970 in this desktop) and xfce.
Everything works well as root, but well I'm not going to use it as root. Trying to start X as a regular user gives me this:

It looks for some reason for /usr/lib64/dri/radeonsi_dri.so which indeed does not exist.
Why does it work as root but not as regular user?

Yes, I was chrooted. I'm following the directions on the install page exactly. For more certainty, I copy and paste the commands in the terminal. :)
I think it was a problem with the downloaded stage3 tarball. I re-downloaded it, and now I got past this step. Emerge --sync is running now.
Thanks for the help!

Using sysrescuecd 4.5.0 to install funtoo on a desktop. All steps followed (http://www.funtoo.org/Install) until the first emerge --sync. That fails with "command not found: git" And a bit later also complains about not finding bzip2, and "invalid profile" (doesn't say which profile is invalid).
I'm actually posting this while logged into the sysrescd-booted system, with installation halted by the above. Any help appreciated.
(edit) forgot to mention, there actually is no git on the sysrescd; bzip2 is present however.
(edit2) I'm trying to emerge t from the live CD, non-chrooted; see if that helps. It's funny that a live CD recommended and linked to on the installation page doesn't actually have all the tools needed.
(edit3) I'm using http://build.funtoo.org/funtoo-current/x86-64bit/generic_64/stage3-latest.tar.xz

Okay, it looks like the problem is missing perl modules, which for some reason are not installed even though the build depends on them. I've fixed one but now it seems that more are missing. I'll list them here as I go along:
Unicode::EastAsianWidth
Text::Unidecode
(edit)
That solved the gnutls installation issue.

This is a new installation of Funtoo. I'm running into a problem where I can't update a number of packages because the first one on the list fails. Here's more info:

1.4, nouveau and mesa issues
in Announcement Discussion
Posted
I'm testing the new 1.4. My test system is an older laptop, MSI GX720, core2duo P8400 with a nvidia GT9600M video card. I started with a blank disk, installed the minimal 1.3 system from the latest stage3 (core2 subarch) and from there proceeded to upgrade to 1.4 as per instructions.
I tried the nvidia driver first (gfxcard_nvidia) but it seems that there's no driver compatible with my video card. So then I switched to gfxcard_nouveau and I get an error emerging mesa-19.1.3. Everything else emerges fine but the last step, mesa, fails.
I'm attaching an archive of logs.
I think the issue is related to the following in build.log:
mesaerror.tar.bz2
