A post mentioned this earlier, but to spell it out explicitly, consider configuring this to build multiple packages at once:
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs=n --load-average=n" (you can omit the load-average part if you like. I like to use it with machines that are prone to overheating)
It won't help ...

Had the problem again as well. I had to use a liveusb as I was using sudo for the emerge and couldn't gain root access. Hopefully this will be fixed soon as it's a pretty severe bug.

For the record, it's not just for HP printers despite the name. But it looks like you got everything sorted in any case.

You might want to check if the hplip driver now supports your printer. I had a Brother printer that stopped working recently and had similar symptoms with the prop. Brother drivers. Switching to hplip with the hpijs useflag enabled allowed me to use the printer again.

I think I needed to download a ...

I put this here because I'm using a number of ebuilds from overlays so I wasn't sure if I could put it in one of the main subforums.

Anyway, if I make any sort of change using xrandr e.g. switching resolution or switching to portrait mode (don't have such a setup but I checked it anyway), then I'll ...

GALLIUM_HUD=fps programname will work; you can use GALLIUM_HUD=help glxgears to see the full syntax.

You need the open source mesa drivers for this and it does work as intended there. It won't work with any of the prop. drivers, though.

There's WINEDEBUG=+fps for games run under wine, although ...

I'd like to stick with LTO

LTO is unstable , I no longer bother with it :(

I don't blame you; it's usually the first thing I check if something fails to compile. Distcc and and "-jX" are the other ones. Hopefully all of those will get sorted out eventually.

The good thing is that we have ...

Only Windows programs I rely on are games with Wine, which sometimes even run better with Wine than the Linux native versions.

As far as proprietary software goes I used to use Opera and VMware, but eventually migrated to Firefox and Qemu-kvm. I'd probably still use Opera if not for the engine ...

Are you using nouveau? It looks to be enabled in your kernel config. It could definitely be causing issues between different kernel configurations.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but the above, basic wine build only creates a 32-bit or 64-bit build - not both.


Just for the record you can build it this way if you want both builds, as listed on the wine64 link:


mkdir wine64
cd wine64
../configure --enable-win64
make
mkdir ../wine32
cd ...

You shouldn't need all of those 32-bit specific flags. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to do, the wine build system should build a 32-bit wine automatically on 64-bit systems. If you want anything else, i.e pure wine64 or a Wow64 setup (32bit and 64bit hybrid) then you need to do ...

It's due to radeon's runpm (dynamic GPU switching) in my case, which applies because I have an AMD+AMD muxless laptop. Setting radeon.runpm=0 works around the issue (although that means it wastes power when the DGPU isn't being used).

Yeah something has been up of late; it feels like the i/o problems that were rather prevalent a few years ago. 3.14-rc1 appears to have the issue too, btw. Can you SSH in smoothly? That part works for me, as well as mouse movement. Local keyboard input and graphics appear to be the issue for me. I'm ...

That's possibly a mesa issue, Spidey. I think the fix is only in git at the moment so you'll need a version from an overlay.

Here's the bug report: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71543

Although it doesn't really matter now since you got it working, I believe the nouveau driver does support VDPAU these days, including for Nv50 cards (such as the ION series). It might not support the advanced settings such as high quality deinterlacing/scaling, however.

Newer multilib gentoo has 32bit mesa and xf86-video-ati support and should include radeonsi if you have it as a videocard in your make.conf. You need to enable ABI_X86="64 32" in your make.conf. It's still a bit unsupported I believe and will probably require an ~ system and even then a fair bit of ...

Firstly, I'd recommend going back to the 7750 as the 8400gs is a large downgrade in comparison to the 7750, unless you need specific features from the nvidia card (and I don't think any benefit of performance will come from the somewhat better drivers either, given the weakness of the 8400gs ...

You might be running into the bug with the ondemand CPU governor that some are experiencing. Although why it's related to that Speed/Stamina switch isn't obvious to me. But you can either tune ondemand to be more aggressive in switching frequency, or switch to the performance governor.

Ondemand ...

Could be a different or outdated version of the kernel, Mesa, or something video related.

I've noticed some new feature ABI_x86. What sould I do with it?

I'm pretty sure you just need to add ABI_X86="64 32" to your make.conf. Works for me in any case. You'll need to unmask app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs-20130224-r1 as well otherwise you'll get a lot of blockers.

I also hope we ...

sci-calculators/calcoo has a massive memory leak (used all 8GB of ram until being killed) with gcc-4.8.1 + lto which didn't occur with 4.7.2. It was fixed by disabling lto. I don't think many people use it but a warning just in case.

Other than than I've found LTO support to be the same or slightly ...

Just a comment on your ffmpeg commandline: Don't use "-sameq" it's not same quality, it's same quantizers which probably isn't what you want: http://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/Option%20%27-sameq%27%20does%20NOT%20mean%20%27same%20quality%27

And are you sure your blu-ray player supports mkv? You ...

there are some problems with directx though, otherwise everything is ok

Tried forcing the resolution with xrandr? I.e xrandr -s 640x480. If the resolution doesn't exist then you can try adding it as a modeline. You can use gtf to create it, then place in your xorg.conf under the monitor section ...

I would strongly recommend the BFS scheduler instead of CFS, for any desktop user, and especially for gamers.

Certainly worth a shot although I've found that CFS does fine with recent kernel versions on my system(s). Early versions of CFS were awful, though. The only downside is that BFS can be ...

You could try gcc-4.8.1 which was just released into the main tree. Sometimes "-march=native" has trouble with new CPUs in older gcc versions (as you'd expect).
