epenguin,

Right now RISC-V belongs in Gentoo on Alternative Architectures .

The last RISC-V post there is dated 09-Aug-22 ... or almost a year ago.

The usual answer to can we have a new (sub)forum is yes, when there is a demand for it. I don't see the demand yet.
That's my own view, not the ...

I'm working on a project involving gentoo on riscv hardware, and there's no section for it

have you tried with a clean (new) user ?

and also try other DE than KDE to get sure.

I tried on a laptop using Ubuntu (gnome) and I couldn't reproduce the issue, but it is using a way older emacs version and a different gpu. I'm thinking it's either a recent xorg thing, a gtk thing, or an ...

epenguin,

I suspect a video card driver issue or even a hardware problem.
As you were able to reproduce the issue on two machines, I'm more inclined to go with the driver.

Can you test at different screen resolutions?
Different screen resolutions tend to have the pixel buffers in different ...

Maybe, this is something with gtk installation?
Do you see the problem with qt5 applications?
Do you see the problem for other gtk applications?

As far as I know, no. I've only had this issue on gtk applications. Maybe I'll go submit a bug report there.

hello,

just emerged and tried, no glitches - tried with theme, too.

using sway only system here with disabled xwayland.

please show your emerge --info -v app-editors/emacs

Portage 3.0.38.1 (python 3.10.8-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/plasma, gcc-11.3.0, glibc-2.35-r8, 5.15 ...

I need help narrowing down a bug. I can replicate the visual bug consistently, but I don't know who to file a report with. Basically, there are random green pixels on various programs. I first noticed this with spacemacs:

I thought it might be a spacemacs issue, so I ...

Here are the instructions I used to generate the toolchain: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/How_to_build_a_toolchain_for_arm_cortex-m_and_cortex-r . This wiki contains instructions for building a really low footprint toolchain for cortex-m and cortex-r, but I've had a few issues with it.

When ...

I think it is possible to have two or more same crossdev toolchains but you will need to rename each /u/<target> to /u/<unique-target> than modify /u/<target>/etc/portage/make.conf's ROOT=/usr/<unique-target> and you also need to rename <target>-emerge to <unique-target>-emerge. I never done this ...

If I run

crossdev -S -t aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu --genv 'USE="cxx multilib fortran -mudflap nls openmp -sanitize"'


I think this will create a raspberry pi 3 b+ toolchain with all the stages required to run gentoo. The problem is I need multiple of these for different systems (some raspberry pi ...

I know, the first thing somebody is "this is a rust program... not related to gentoo", but this IS a gentoo related question because the first platform I want my program to be on is gentoo. I'd like to look at the problem talked about here: https://blogs.gentoo.org/mgorny/2021/02/19/the-modern ...

I've been trying to install julia, and I'm having quite a few problems. I'll end up filing a bug report if it turns out something is actually wrong and not just me being dumb.

1.) I installed julia-bin first. I couldn't find it in my path or anywhere really so I unmerged it.

2.) I then installed ...

Finally, a post I can respond to... I switched from arch a week or so ago. I still use arch on my laptop, but I've switched my main machine to gentoo dual booted with windows (I have to use it for school. Can't vm because exam proctor... -_-) I still don't have a complete understanding of what ...

I may or may not be misunderstanding the use of slots with portage. As far as I can tell from the wiki, slotting is for installing and using multiple versions of some package. Can I use slotting for installing and developing multiple versions of some package? For instance, I want to install kicad 5 ...

I just figured it out. I edited my post with how I fixed it. sorry for the wasted thread

It's still wanting to omit nightly and parallel-compiler for some reason. nightly is masked in stable, and currently parallel-compiler is masked everywhere, you can force them back on if really wanted albeit it's at your own risks (especially for parallel-compiler right now)

From /var/db/repos ...

Following up on this because I've discovered some things (?). Portage basically completely replaces rustup, which is pretty cool. So when I would normally say

rustup install clippy
rustup install rustfmt


I can just add these to my USE flags. I am, however, confused because it doesn't seem to ...

What I'm taking from this is Gentoo handles the installation (compilation) of the rust toolchains, so I don't need rustup. I do plan on using Rust beyond what Portage requires because I use it for development.

As far as I know, upstream's rustup doesn't integrate properly with any package manager ...

Are you a rust aficionado?
If not just emerge rust-bin and forget about rust.

It is only pulled by
gnome-base/librsvg
In my case.

I wouldn't say I'm an aficionado because I'm quite terrible at rust, but I do see it as essential to development right now. I guess there aren't many people that like ...

I'm asking this because i saw the desktop profile includes a build of rust and llvm. Does gentoo build these?

I notice that I am missing rustup, but I have cargo and rustc installed already. If I go and install rust from the official rust-lang install site, I get rustup. Do I even need rustup? Or ...

I'm coming from arch where I use xorg with i3 for my desktop. That should be straightforward to get working in Gentoo.
When installing gentoo, I used the default profile where it didn't add anything. I thought this made sense at the time because in arch, after installation of arch itself, I ...

epenguin,

Welcome to Gentoo.

Lets rewind a little and talk about profiles, so we have some context to explain about USE flags.

You profile, as set or displayed by eselect profile chooses some default setting for your install.
Which profile you should choose depends on the intended purpose of the ...

I'm going to try and draw out my train of though as best as possible. I'm a little confused regarding local use flags vs. temporary use flags vs. global use flags. I'm trying to install Xorg right now, and I'm reading the documentation.

I've added "X" into my global use flags inside of /etc/portage ...
