cardinal reacted to drobbins in Help needed with dependency conflict - (still a newbie here)
@cardinal please do not post patches here. The solution is not to give some Funtoo user a patch so they can "hack around" the problem.
@fredmyra this is a bug -- please report it to bugs.funtoo.org and we'll look into it.

cardinal reacted to drobbins in While booting funtoo linux, loading custom binary format stays in the handlers section
@cardinal I don't think your original bug report for this issue was optimal (https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-11069)
I think it identifies the wrong problem.
The real problem here is not that there was a blacklist installed -- the real problem is that by default, the nvidia-drivers are not supporting a legacy card. This is not optimal and if the nouveau drivers are more compatible with all generations of NVIDIA cards, it makes a more reasonable default for our DE stage3's.
Therefore, I am thinking the bug should be "default nvidia-drivers on stage3 lacks support for legacy NVIDIA cards". And we would explore nouveau by default as a solution. Then we would incorporate the nouveau blacklist into nvidia-drivers so it installs only if you opt-in to the official NVIDIA drivers.

Note wiki/talk:
https://www.funtoo.org/Talk:Install/Profiles
Bugs.funtoo.org Improvement:
Running nouveau requires deleting etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-blacklist.conf
If you choose to go with proprietary driver mixin profile gfxcard-nvidia-legacy should support your GT-420
https://code.funtoo.org/bitbucket/projects/AUTO/repos/core-gl-kit/browse/profiles/funtoo/mix-ins/gfxcard-nvidia-legacy/package.mask
https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/196213/en-us/
You would have to manually blacklist nouveau again to try out nvidia-390

Solution: It was Nouveau Blacklist, it was solved when I uninstalled it.
Go to /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-blacklist.conf and delete the contents, there will be things like blacklist nouveau.

cardinal reacted to nblind in nvidia-drivers-390 with kernel >5.4
Hi,
Current funtoo ebuild nvidia-drivers-390.132 supports maximum kernel version "${NV_MAX_KERNEL_VERSION:=5.4}".
I see that _gentoo_ ebuild nvidia-drivers-390.157 seems to support NV_KERNEL_MAX="6.1".
Is it possible in funtoo, with debian-sources-lts, to support nvidia 390 drivers together with a kernel >5.4 ?
PS. I am trying to rewrite the gentoo ebuild to funtoo. But my ebuild-coding-fu is failing me 🙂

Thanks for submitting the bug, I would've done so myself, but figured I'd make sure it wasn't something stupid obvious that I was overlooking first.

cardinal reacted to perfmonk in Add passphrase from keyfile to luks encrypted swap disk [SOLVED]
Answering my own question since I found a solution.
You have to use the partition name for that command, not the LUKS mapping ...
Here is what I did :
(chroot) # cryptsetup luksAddKey swap /bt_keyfile.bin swap n'est pas un périphérique LUKS valide. (chroot) # cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/mapper/swap /bt_keyfile.bin /dev/mapper/swap n'est pas un périphérique LUKS valide. (chroot) # cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sda3 /bt_keyfile.bin Entrez une phrase secrète existante : (chroot) # echo ### yes it worked! ####
Sorry for the noise,
Bernard

cardinal got a reaction from robbie in Noob audio help, no sound on speakers with ALSA or Pulse
The default configuration is when the headphones are unplugged it disables the headphone volume.
In your case it appears the headphone volume controls the internal laptop speaker volume.
A potential workaround is to reconfigure the headphone volume so it isn't disabled when the headphones are unplugged.
nano /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-speaker.conf Change
[Element Headphone] switch = off volume = off to
[Element Headphone] switch = off volume = merge

sh: bad number error is fixed by changing the following code
/usr/share/genkernel/defaults/linuxrc:
Replace
linuxrc: if [ "${USE_AUFS_NORMAL}" -eq '1' ]
With
linuxrc:
if [ "${USE_AUFS_NORMAL}" = '1' ] There are two instances.

cardinal got a reaction from dutch-master in Package libvpx masked, prevents Mate installation
https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-6561
>=libvpx-1.8.0 globally masked you could disable vpx use flag globally in /etc/portage/make.conf to eliminate any need for libvpx.
I need vpx for ffmpeg and it was preventing the x265 update.
I comment out the mask which is temporary which allowed the update to proceed.
rj@funtoo /var/git/meta-repo/kits/core-kit/profiles/package.mask $ sudo nano funtoo-cautionary # Allow firefox to merge cleanly #>=media-libs/libvpx-1.8 You could also add the libvpx-1.7.0.ebuild from the 1.3-release branch to a local overlay.

Yeah, was going to say I just found out there is an ebuild for fbreader; I couldn't check at the time of my original post because I was waiting for calibre to emerge (which failed BTW, I posted a bug report). Trying to install fbreader now. Thanks!
(edit) fbreader installed correctly, seems to be the one I was looking for. Thank you again.
