I hadn't used Thunderbird on X11 since my last post (i managed to switch to Wayland almost completely), but somehow it's fixed for me now.

Maybe i switched the application style a few months back and forth, or there was an update, or something, idk.

But it should work now.

In case it's not too late:

I did my playtrough between 2024-04 and 2024-08, and did not have problems when loading a save game. Maybe you are using Nvidia, and there is something wrong in the kernel with Nvidia.
I just tested to load a save in BG3, and it works (I also opened the inventory a few ...

It does make sense to combine LTO and debugging symbols if you wish to have them.

Is this the use-case you are thinking about?


Bug that only shows up with LTO:
User has LTO enabled and encounters a bug.
User reproduces bug with LTO enabled.
User disables LTO and enables "-Og -ggdb" for ...

Conclusion (for the search engines) (EDITED)

Problem
High memory/RAM usage (50GB+) when compiling with "-flto" and "-Og -ggdb".

Problem sources
LTO requires more memory than without LTO.
Debug symbols require more memory than no debug symbols.
LTO is still experimental.


Solution ...

Do you understand the difference between introduces and uncovers? I understand English may not be your native language, but those are two different words.
Yes, but my brain told me: The bugs are not introduced by LTO, so it's a real bug. And finding bugs improves the code (if i report them ...

Now, as i had a bit of time, i did the following things:

Compile openjdk-17.0.13 without debug and with LTO : ~5GB RAM usage
Compile openjdk-17.0.13 with debug and with LTO : The RAM usage starts out like without debug, where it jumps up and down dynamically, then at some point, it just goes up in ...

Understood. No recompiling tonight.

The rest will have to wait for tonight.

I see. So LTO introduces bugs that have not been there before. And debug symbols do that too. And having both at the same time makes it even worse.

Well, i did not know that. I guess i will just remove LTO and debug symbols from my make.conf , and see if the Plasma "bug" remains. If not, it was ...

Thanks for the explanation of LTO . As far as i know now:
Regular optimization: Optimization within methods. Maybe within source files.
LTO: Optimization between source files.
I hope my brain can remember that.

You would have had an easier time if you had reported to us the partially complete ...

I forgot, this is with debug symbols and sources for kde-plasma/plasma-meta, kde-plasma/plasma-workspace and sys-libs/glibc

I definitely don't know what LTO is, only that it is supposed to make programs run a tiny bit faster. I also don't know what debug symbols are, except that i hoped to get more detailed crash reports at the expense of making everything slower while it is enabled.

Initially i enabled debug symbols ...

Hello,

for now, i just deactivated LTO for openjdk like here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LTO#Disable_LTO_per_Package
This does work, the compilation does not consume much RAM anymore.

Personally, i would like to avoid recompiling everything and rather like someone else (who does have LTO, but ...

Hello there!
Background
I have dev-java/openjdk (17) installed since a few years back. A month (or so) ago i recompiled my system, because i had a KDE Plasma bug and wanted debug symbols and source code to be more helpful. Back then everything recompiled smoothly with emerge -e @world .
I update ...

I think you miss CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV in your kernel.

Or better: Check official documentation about it
Reading this, it sounds you need the https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-apps/i2c-tools package installed.
Thanks, this seems to work!

I had not installed https://packages.gentoo.org ...

I just learned how to enable debug symbols, so maybe this helps someone:

Hello there!
OpenRGB runs fine on my PC when i start it using the dektop entry or the terminal. I can even switch to the server tab and start a local server. However, when i run openrgb --server to start OpenRGB with a local server in headless mode, then the program crashes:

Thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately this does not work for me. Simply running 'gamescope -- %command%' -- so just the game in gamescope without any tweaks -- throws these errors. And running 'gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 2560 -H 1440 -f -e -- %command%' does not unlock higher resolutions in game.

For me, it's a bit different.
When i run Thunderbird with -ProfileManager the ProfileManager is not affected by the mouse pointer bug, just as is yours.

I just found something out because i am currently experimenting with Wayland: The problem does not occour on Wayland.
Also: The cursor does not jump when entering the Thunderbird window. Both on X11 and Wayland.

I am currently trying to switch from X11 to Wayland (again). As my GPU is quite fast, i was using downsampling when i was still on Windows, and on Linux i use xrandr scaling like this:

Hi there,

I had not tried creating a new user, but now i created a new user using the Plasma System Settings. My (KDE) theme is gone, but the problem remains.
I just tested thunderbird-bin, because the flatpak is not installed system wide.

Tell me when i should test the Flatpak too, or when i ...
