stefan11111,

I just use alsa. Its not problem free yet. For good sound output, with no stuttering, I need to keep the load average over 40.

That's nothing to do with static dev though.
Until alsa works on its own, nothing else can as everything uses alsa at the bottom, well except OSS.

I have dbus installed but not started. VirtualBox wants it.
I should really give up VirtualBox but its easier than QEMU for a quick and dirty throw away Virtual Machine. For long term KVMs its all QEMU.

Have you disabled dinamic minors in the kernel config?
https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/issues/296
Also, how do you see the load average?
And how do I mark a post as solved on this forum? I want to mark the librewolf topic from this forum as solved.

Just edit your first post in this thread and add a [Solved] into the title. Beware it must not be too long.

net-print/cups-filters need gdbus-codegen at compile time, then don't.
In any case, it can be seen that at the time I have masked it for all its versions.

Code:

my-user@pc-gentoo ~ $ eix dev-util/gdbus-codegen
* dev-util/gdbus-codegen
Available versions: [m]2.70.4 [m](~)2.72.0 [m](~)2.72.1 {PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_8 python3_9 python3_10"}
Homepage: https://www.gtk.org/
Description: GDBus code and documentation generator

Maybe it's the DNSSD, CUPS options in the src_configure() section, we should try... pending task.

Code:

--with-browseremoteprotocols=DNSSD,CUPS

https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/cups-browsed/cups-browsed.conf.5
gtk+ is not the culprit because in BLFS it didn't ask me for anything from gdbus-codegen to create the package.

Which Gentoo packages force PAM, but can be built without PAM without patching the upstream source? You can say nothing should require PAM, but if upstream designed their software to require PAM (or udev, or systemd, ...), then Gentoo's choices are to hard-depend on PAM or to not ship the package at all.

What packages have a hard dependency on pam?
The only one I found was su. What else does not work without pam?

Have firefox/librewolf's maintainers been notified of this?

This issue has nothing to do with Firefox/Librewolf.
Firefox build system supports building Firefox without D-Bus installed, also it supports building without ATK (Accessibility Toolkit).
Note, that building Firefox without ATK is not supported by Gentoo ebuild, but ebuild can be easily modified to build Firefox without ATK. Only ebuild has to be modified to build Firefox without ATK, no patches to Firefox sources are needed.
Thus, it is a Gentoo system issue that Firefox cannot be built without D-Bus if ATK is installed. And any Gentoo system with GTK:2 or GTK:3 installed requires ATK, which requires D-Bus. Thus, we have a soft dependency on D-Bus in Firefox (via ATK).

There is no package su in ::gentoo. I see two packages in ::gentoo which can provide /bin/su. shadow optionally uses PAM for su. util-linux requires PAM for su, but util-linux can be built without su if you wish, which appears to remove the dependency on PAM. If you override the ebuild, can util-linux build a working /bin/su that does not use PAM? If yes, then the ebuild is unnecessarily strict. If no, then your issue is with upstream for their hard dependency on PAM.

I had a read of your issue that you linked.

Adding scripts to .xinitrc runs the scripts when Xorg is started. It may not matter,

@Hu I understand it perfectly, maybe I misinterpreted what I meant, I was saying that system packages should not be reached they depended on pam compulsorily, saying it as an ideal. If the creators of the code do that, they will find beautiful forks or divine patches which will be separate packages with other names. The creators of ebuilds are the owners to do what they want and the users to use them or not It's just a matter of choice and taste. Regards.

Thanks for the info.
I no longer need those scripts to make /dev nodes, fix permissions and load modules as I no longer have an initramfs that mounts /dev and I build everything into the kernel(=y not =m).
Thanks for helping me with that.
Regarding /etc/local.d, is it enough to just add the script in that folder and it will run at boot with no further configuration?
I have a line in my .xinitrc to mount all my network drives.

Code:

rdo mount -a &

rdo is just an app that escalates privileges. Treat in like sudo/doas.
I have to do this because during startup, I get a mount error saying that the network is not accessible.
I have everything set up in my fstab.

Code:

//10.0.15.220/hdd1 /home/stefan/HDD1 cifs username=admin,password=raspberry,uid=stefan,_netdev 0 0
//10.0.15.220/hdd2 /home/stefan/HDD2 cifs username=admin,password=raspberry,uid=stefan,_netdev 0 0

Any idea how to fix that?
Also, did you steal a pc from a record company?
What is going on with all those sound cards?

@stefan11111

I was looking and the version I have installed is the 3.24.22 that does not have BDEPEND and is EAPI=6, the 3.24.33 has BDEPEND and is EAPI=7
and there if it is in the block:

Code:

BDEPEND="
>=dev-util/gdbus-codegen-2.48

In BLFS when compiling 3.24.34 it is not a dependency.
I no longer remember what I did back then with 3.24.22, if I installed gdbus-codegen and emerged the 3.24.22 and then uninstalled and masked
gdbus-codegen or if it was that it didn't even ask me, I know that cups-filters asks for it when configuring, but then it run without it.
Removing it from the BDEPEND= block would suffice.

These are the options that I used in BLFS with 3.24.34, and the most striking thing may be having used --disable-cups

Code:

# Configure:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--disable-cloudproviders \
--disable-papi \
--enable-profiler=no \
--disable-broadway-backend \
--disable-wayland-backend \
--disable-cups \
--enable-colord=no \
--disable-glibtest \
--disable-gtk-doc \
--disable-gtk-doc-html \
--enable-xkb \
--enable-xinerama \
--enable-xrandr \
--enable-xfixes \
--enable-xcomposite \
--enable-xdamage \
--enable-x11-backend \
--without-atk-bridge \
--enable-introspection=yes \
--disable-installed-tests \
--with-x

To avoid having errors at boot, you need to add noauto option to all your network drives in /etc/fstab.
Depending on your boot and network configuration, even in .xinitrc it might be too early for network to be available.
If you are using net-misc/netifrc, then you can mount your network drives from postup() function in /etc/conf.d/net.
See /usr/share/doc/netifrc-0.7.3/net.example.bz2 on how to add postup() function to your /etc/conf.d/net.
Similarly, you can umount network drives from predown() function.
Make sure network interface for your network drives matches "${IFACE}" parameter when postup() or predown() is called.

No need for that package. It appears that editing /etc/dhcpcd.conf to stop touching resolv.conf made the error go away.

Now my .xinitrc has only what needs to be loaded with X11.

Regarding the sound devices, here is my /proc/asound/devices

Code:

64: [ 2] : control
80: [ 2- 0]: digital audio playback
88: [ 2- 0]: digital audio capture

As you can see, there are more than 8. This seems to list all the sound outputs.

Code:

$ aplay -l

Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: Ultimate [Razer Kraken Ultimate], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

And this seems to list the sound cards.

Code:

$ grep -i dynamic /usr/src/linux/.config
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is not set
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_MEMORY_LAYOUT=y
CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT=y
CONFIG_HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y

CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS=y
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=y
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_NO_PATCHABLE=y

Everything works fine without dynamic minors enabled.
This is the only thing I see about sound devices:

Code:

$ dmesg | grep freq

[ 736.969264] usb 1-12: 2:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x1
[ 757.884458] usb 1-12: 2:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x1

This appears in my dmesg only three times at these specific timestamps(or very close to them).

When your system is ready, i.e. network interface is up, you can do, for example:

Code:

mount /home/stefan/HDD1

Using dhcpcd hooks might be another option:

Mounting from .xinitrc will not work if your router (or DHCP server) is not available when you start your X session.

man 8 dhcpcd-run-hooks

Mounting from .xinitrc will not work if your router (or DHCP server) is not available when you start your X session.

The network is available after I log into a tty. I can mount my network filesystems from a tty. Mounting in .xinitrc also works.

You must create a local repository if you don't already have one and copy the port you want to modify.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Basic_guide_to_write_Gentoo_Ebuilds
By having the same version of the port in both repositories, emerge will give priority to the local repository when emerging.

Code:

# mkdir -pv /var/db/repos/local_repo/x11-libs
# cp -rpv /usr/portage/x11-libs/gtk+ /var/db/repos/local_repo/x11-libs
# cd /var/db/repos/local_repo/x11-libs/gtk+
# nano gtk+-3.24.22.ebuild

In the multilib_src_configure() function you can see that a use with an alias is assigned to each real option in autotools ./configure
The uses are nothing more than the usual ./configure options.

Code:

multilib_src_configure() {
local myconf=(
$(use_enable cups cups auto)

In the case of version 3.4.22, it has the use cups which can be enabled or disabled as always through package.use
If this use is not declared through IUSE= in the ebuild then the option can be passed directly in that section
that is, putting under the $(use_enable the options that one wants to add or remove as it is done in a normal ./configure.

Code:

--disable-cups

At the end it is time to rebuild the Manifest file since the ebuild has changed, it will download the source if it is not already downloaded in /usr/portage/distfiles and then it will compute for all files used in the port and create the new Manifest

Code:

# ebuild gtk+-3.24.22.ebuild manifest

If you use eix you can update your database so that it appears and list it to see the port of the modified copy in the local tree:

Code:

# eix-update
# eix -I x11-libs/gtk+
# emerge -av1 x11-libs/gtk+

Regards.
