You're right. There seems to be an incompatibility between mesa and mesa-amber. Gentoo developers are having some discussion to drop the mesa-amber package completely, since it seems to be unmaintained. We already dropped the binary package. If the situation improves, we will have it packaged once again.

Can you submit a request on the bugtracker? That way I won't forget about it. Thank you!

#4 Re: Software : install, uninstall, update, upgrade » You have promised new ISO. » 2025-03-04 16:08:56

I remember I promised a new ISO, however I don't remember promising a timeline. It will come whenever I have time to produce it. Remember, I work on my own on this project in my free time, so there is never a guaranteed deadline. It will come when it will come.

#5 Re: Desktop environments » Problems with desktop icons shifting and scroll bar appearing » 2025-01-14 23:12:41

Hi, it looks like it's a known bug for which there's no solution at the moment. I presume it happens as long as you have both displays connected, even though one of them is disabled in KDE settings as you mentioned. I also have a very strong feeling it won't happen if you just physically disconnect the unused display. Can you try and let me know please?

#6 Re: Software : install, uninstall, update, upgrade » LACT issue (GPU overclocking tool) » 2025-01-14 13:24:08

Glad you figured it out. I have been away for a while, but I will try to package and ship LACT at one point. When it comes to grub2 vs grub, is just a relic. When grub2 was released, Grub Legacy was still around, so the commands had to be grub2. Unlike the other distributions which renamed it back to grub when grub legacy went away, we kept it since many of our tools and hooks rely on it being grub2. Of course, I can rewrite the tools, but I like it being quirky.

#7 Re: System administration » superuser access » 2024-12-31 21:15:29

If you didn't set up a root password during install, then it is likely you choose to reuse the user password for the root password. Is one or the other. The installer gives you the option to choose a separate root password, or use the same password for both root and your account.

#8 Re: System administration » superuser access » 2024-12-31 11:08:04

The one you set-up during install.

#9 Re: Software : install, uninstall, update, upgrade » How to have a list of all possible installable packages ? » 2024-12-26 01:05:57

sisyphus search "" -f all

Will show all available binaries.

sisyphus search "" -f all -q

Will show all available binaries in a compact mode.

Sisyphus graphical interface also has some filters, and realtime search as you type.

Of course, using --ebuild mode you can install pretty much whatever you want from Gentoo's tree.

You can see a list of alien packages, aka packages installed from Gentoo's tree, but not available as binaries using :

sisyphus search "" -f alien

or

sisyphus search "" -f alien -q

For more details, have a look at what sisyphus can do : https://wiki.redcorelinux.org/index.php/Sisyphus

#11 Re: Desktop environments » enlightenment desktop & windowmaker desktop have no "firefox" sound. » 2024-12-22 21:13:27

Those aren't supported. Anything besides Plasma, LXQT and Qtile, isn't supported even though it's possible to install from Gentoo. You have to try and figure yourself what and why isn't working. Perhaps Gentoo Wiki has an answer.

#13 Re: Software : install, uninstall, update, upgrade » sisyphus install libopenraw (xfce4-mate) fails » 2024-12-19 21:23:49

It doesn't...rust has an internal copy of LLVM, that use flag simply enables it.

#15 Re: Software : install, uninstall, update, upgrade » sisyphus install libopenraw (xfce4-mate) fails » 2024-12-18 10:50:48

I made some changes to allow older versions of rust to be installed. You will have to wait until at least tomorrow when I merge the code from the development branch, into testing (next) branch. Then add :

dev-lang/rust LLVM_SLOT: 17

into

/etc/portage/package.use/10-sisyphus-overrides

and it should just work.

You will have to have a fully update system for this to work. Let me know at one point if you succeeded.

#16 Re: Software : install, uninstall, update, upgrade » Install redcore-linux on Windows WSL. » 2024-11-27 02:53:10

We're not working towards that goal. Please let us know if someone manages to install Redcore Linux on WSL.

#17 Re: Software : install, uninstall, update, upgrade » [Solved] install callibre slot conflict » 2024-11-21 19:55:58

Calibre is an e-book reader and uses mathjax version 3. Atril can also read e-books, but uses mathjax version 2. If two programs want different versions of the same library, there will be a conflict. My suggestion simply disabled e-book support in atril, get rid of mathjax version 2, thereby eliminating the conflict and allowing calibre to be installed.

#18 Re: Software : install, uninstall, update, upgrade » Delete everything and the installer does not creat the EFI partition » 2024-11-21 19:51:32

VirtualBox needs to have EFI enabled and the iso needs to be booted in EFI mode. Have you checked if that's the case? Looks like you booted in MBR mode. Maybe I'm wrong, but you need to provide some more information.

#19 Re: Software : install, uninstall, update, upgrade » [Solved] install callibre slot conflict » 2024-11-21 15:47:20

app-text/atril -epub

Then you do :

sisyphus upgrade -e

To rebuild atril without epub support, then :

sisyphus autoremove

To remove the conflicting mathjax, then :

sisyphus install calibre

Should just work.

#20 Re: Suggestions and feedback » Cinnamon for RedCore 2401 Tarazed » 2024-11-21 12:48:12

I suspect there's a conflict between polkit agents if you kept KDE Plasma after installing Cinnamon. You can try to disable polkit-kde-agent from within Cinnamon, so that only polkit-gnome runs. Or you can just get rid of KDE Plasma.

emerge --deselect kdecore-meta
emerge --deselect plasma-meta
sisyphus autoremove

This should leave the system with only Cinnamon and maybe things will just solve themselves.

This one is already the default. Having it in package.use is redundant, but if it works for you, you can leave it as is.

#22 Re: Software : install, uninstall, update, upgrade » [Solved] How to install ruby » 2024-11-20 22:42:15

Well, 1st of all, ruby version 3.1.4-r3 is already preinstalled by default. And 2nd of all, it seems that you have masked every single ruby package in the tree, and as a consequence, you cannot install any of them, and somehow you masked the default preinstalled version as well. If you remove the last line, sisyphus will happily reinstall the default version.

#23 Re: Software : install, uninstall, update, upgrade » xorg does not work after the last upgrade 02/10/24 » 2024-10-28 12:40:20

We do check how the system is working, and in most cases it does work as intended. We get regressions here and there, but we fix them as best we can. If Plasma6 really doesn't like your hardware, maybe you should try LXQT.

sisyphus install lxqt-meta

#24 Re: Software : install, uninstall, update, upgrade » [Solved] zfs kernel module fails to build » 2024-10-28 12:38:06

You're right, zfs is not compatible with kernel 6.11. If you wanna use it, is best to stick to a LTS kernel.

sisyphus install linux-image-redcore-lts

#25 Re: Software : install, uninstall, update, upgrade » [Solved] 870 source packages on main branch using no gentoo software » 2024-10-16 10:37:12

Yeah, you can remove it :

sisyphus uninstall syslog-ng -f

It has been replaced by metalog a while ago, which sisyphus will pull anyway.
