Portage normally clears the working directory before starting the build, to avoid mysterious failures from broken prior runs. The Portage /etc/portage/patches mechanism exists to let you apply patches to the newly reinitialized working directory after it has been cleared and unpacked. You should ...

Is FEATURES="keepwork" what you want?
Read man make.conf before you use it.

Set it either on the command line or on a per package basis.

Something wierd is literally happening right now

i put a patch in portage patches area right.. when i emerge it says that config.def.h.rej has ...

Seems like it would work but for some reason it seems like portage is skipping the working dir. i just deleted savedconfig and took out ...

I don't really get what you mean by using git in this case.
Gentoo has an official way to apply patches: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/patches

Hi,

Sorry if i didn't explain.. When i put patches in the correct dir and run ebuild name.ebuild clean prepare if they work they work then i ...

Hello,

I have patched dwm the suckless way and everything is fine.. My question is that i want to start over and do it the portage gentoo way.. i also want to use git.. if Gentoo puts cocnfig.def.h and other stuff in /var/tmp working directory it would make sense to get a git init in the working ...

Thanks everyone!

Hi,

I have no logs or anything i'm just trying to get an understanding.

So i'm using dwm and when i download a patch i use portage and about 8/10 it fails. I was advised about https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Creating_a_patch basically getting clean code from the ebuild
creating a commit, patching it ...

Hello guys, I am trying to build dwm with some patches and i am getting errors. I am not sure why as i have built dwm with this patches before on another distro.
I placed the patches in /etc/portage/patches/x11-wm/dwm
Had to rename them from .diff to .patch as the wiki describes

dwm-6.2-taggrid ...

I'm having this same error i apply a patch i know works and its fine. but when i try another patch it fails. Without more detail, it is hard for us to determine whether you did this correctly. i'm wondering if i have to keep the previous patch in place and the emerge ? Yes, you need to keep active ...

If you want to apply several patches, some might fail because a previous patch has modified the file current patch is trying to modify...

I have gone through this myself and the approach I took was to download dwm source and apply the patches manually, fixing the errors on each patch. Then I ...

As an alternative to PARTUUID, you may be able to use PARTLABEL, if you labeled your partitions properly. These are human-chosen and generally short, unlike UUIDs.

There is also LABEL (for a filesystem label), but not all filesystems can be labeled. Swap can be labeled at creation time with ...

You probably can just file an issue to alsa-ucm-conf providing the info from this thread + result of speaker-test for 'hw:0,5'

Hello,

Back again, i swear I'm always having audio issues.

This time I'm running i3 via lightdm running OpenRC, on xfce4 pipewire and pavucontrol work fine. i have profiles set and I'm good. As soon as i switch to i3 pavucontrol just says connecting and never connects and i have no sound.
I don't ...

Please do not run pa-info as root, that would not have access to sound server. To include more alsa info please install alsa-utils package.

The issue with pulseaudio was that neither default alsa card profile nor current alsa-ucm-conf provide support for speakers of that Google Dragonair ...

Okay, well, a few things:

* If you're wanting to use PulseAudio as your sound server, you'll need the `pulseaudio-daemon` package installed. This will get pulled in when installing the `pulseaudio` meta-package. `pavucontrol` doesn't have a dependency on `pulseaudio` (only on `libpulse`), so the ...

Thanks for sharing the output of those commands. :)

The output from pa-info:

________________
> pidof pulseaudio
________________
> pulseaudio --version
/usr/bin/pa-info: line 57: pulseaudio: command not found
________________
says that Pulse isn't actually running - `pidof` should have shown ...

You're far from the only one. :) Unfortunately this is very common, as seen by how often people with system problems post output including a line noting many unread news items - amongst which is the news item directly ...

Hello,

my workstation is currently still running Win10 on a NVMe. There is only one M.2 slot on the mainboard, so I got a new NVMe drive and an external USB case for it. I did my homework and there should be no problem to do a full UEFI install there and once everything works I can just exchange ...

Can't you reboot your installation?

Thanks for the reply

Ok that worked but does not see the speaker on card 0 device 5.

Please try this: 'speaker-test -Dhw:0,5 -t wav -c 2'
If that works you can ask for help with UCM configuration https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/issues or can add custom alsa card profile for pulseaudio which would ...

I have pulseaudio and alsa installed
Try selecting "Stereo Output + Stereo Input" profile in pavucontrol "Configuration" tab (even though that is probably listed as 'unavailable') and post updated pa-info output. This chromebook (which model?) probably needs some attention in alsa-ucm-conf.
