Thanks a lot, Hu. That makes perfect sense. I guess link-time optimisations depend on how instructions in the source file are "tagged" (for lacking a better term) and I saw no such optimisation flag for ASM. But your explanations highlight it all.

Peace

Hi people.

The title would have been « Understanding the relation between separate ASM files and optimisations ».

I'm asking this in the context of cross-compiling for the AVR platform but it's about a behaviour I noticed more generally.

In projects that combine C, C++ and assembly files (.S), I ...

Thanks dbtx.

I am [was, actually] not using aggressive optimization CFLAGS, just Gentoo's. The sad thing is I had to reinstall my laptop and with another distribution. I've kept my Gentoo installation intact, as for the main files so I can try again later.
Did you try quick & headless xfce4 ...

Hi all.

I use clipboard extensively and I noticed xfce4-screenshooter no longer places images into the clipboard — be it entire screens, active windows or captured areas. This issue started after a recent upgrade. Note that saving images does work however, just copying to the ...

I tried Hysteresis values up to 60 and it gets a bit... weird. With 24 I seem to be fine so far... Case closed ?

Well, here are my hysteresis values: Will try change and see how it goes...

I for one am using the synaptics driver. Currently MaxTapMove is set to 107. Does that represent a number of pixels?

I read an example iside the man page for color.map.

Awesome! Thanks a lot, Leonardo.b.

Sorry for jumping in but that's exactly the topic I was looking for, i.e. colours portage uses. While I have no difficulty for reading directories in a relatively dark blue (i.e. directories), the one used for packages that "blocks" is almost invisible on a black background, more precisely on a TTY ...

Hi all.

I've had an Apple alu keyboard for a long time and yet I never paid attention on configuring it properly on a TTY — everything's fine in X. I've tried a couple of keymaps under /usr/share/keymaps and extensions in /usr/share/keymaps/i386 but none of them work — at best I get a completely ...

Does that issue occur in text mode, graphics mode or both? If in text mode you might check whether DPMS is enabled and disable it to see if it solves the problem.

I think I've fixed it: the USB link mode was set to storage device (PTP, if I remember correctly) and I set it to MTP (photo device). rebooted in fastboot mode and it worked. I also ran into the same kind of issue after flashing the phone and it reported the image size was too big. So I was advised ...

It can be, most definitely .

I disable the network and all the network services before suspending *anyway*, otherwise after resuming I have some issues...
Never had to do that in all these years.
Even when you suspended performing a work on a network which became unavailable at resuming?
Yup. For a couple of years now, the ...

But you might have brought a hint to one question I had in mind: can the network prevent the system from suspending?
I can't answer this question for sure. I know that that there is Wake-on-LAN. Maybe more experienced people come here to answer.
I know about wake-on-lan but I don't recall ever ...

BTW the computer *does* go to sleep most of the time when I close the lid (especially when I'm home).
You wrote in the first post: "From the system logs I suspect my laptop does in fact *not* suspend..."
If the problem is not in going to sleep, but in that something wakes the machine up: did you ...

Thanks a lot for your highlights, Hu 8) . Guys, I think I've got it (as root):
grep -rl CONFIG_CHECK /var/db/pkg/ --include='*.ebuild' | \
while read PKG; do
PKG=${PKG#/var/db/pkg/} # Keep category/package
PKG=$(equery w ${PKG%/*.ebuild}) # Rid the trailing ebuild file and extension
echo ...

grep -r CONFIG_CHECK /var/db/pkg
Just that the number of not-an-ebuild files is hugely bigger:
42171
1388
i.e. 30 times more "junk". I tried, took ages before I got a response :) .

For less, you can use the slightly more redundant: xargs -a <( grep -rl CONFIG_CHECK /var/db/pkg/ --include ...

Hi all.

I don't know if my issue is related to Gentoo but here I am anyway. I'm trying to install postmarketOS (in recovery mode , I haven't tried the regular installation yet) on my MotoG (1st gen), which I bought 5 years ago. I've successfully built the OS recovery image but now I need to ...

Hi VinzC,

Just a guess... If you're running kernel 5.8+, do you have CONFIG_HIBERNATION_SNAPSHOT_DEV=y?
No, I'm running kernel 5.4.60. I have this:

CONFIG_ARCH_HIBERNATION_POSSIBLE=y
CONFIG_ARCH_HIBERNATION_HEADER=y
CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y
However I fail to see what hibernation has to do with ...

Thanks for the hint, Princess Nell. I've managed to have an idea of what would need my attention:
find /var/db/pkg/ -name *.ebuild | xargs grep -H --color CONFIG_CHECK
It sort of works except when the variable contents is split across several lines or begins on a line right below the quotation ...

Hi all.

I've recently upgraded Gentoo on my laptop and I read the deprecation notice on pm-utils (along with consolekit), which are required by Xfce. So I removed that package and un-used the pm-utils USE flag wherever it was set. Exit hence xfce-power-manager , can do without, I have Conky — it ...

Well, I can only wish you courage and strength [I haven't yet touched kernel development and I'm not sure I'd plan to anytime soon]. Thanks a lot for your hard work. I do mean it.

Well, I for one understand Linus but that's indeed unfortunate as it's always when you need a seemingly unimportant feature to help you fix a critical issue that you no longer have it at hand — Murphy's law, for short. I do use it [soft scroll back], casually indeed, but it comes more than handy ...
