TCE Bugs / Re: GTK 2 or related package - Debug left enabled by accident?

« Last post by Juanito on December 11, 2025, 04:41:36 AM »

You should see something like this:

Code: [Select]

[   391.239] (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 0
[   391.239] (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 1
[   391.239] (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 2
[   391.239] (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 3
I would have thought that if the modesetting driver did not load, xorg-server would use fbdev or vesa?

If I don't need xorg-7.7-3d, I will need to manually add libEGL.tcz to onboot.lst.

TCE Talk / Re: Request for ca-certificates

... VM's are quite common in the server world, it seems odd that VM's would not pass hardware entropy to the Guest OS.

Would rngd find and use a hardware entropy device?

As of ESXi 8 it can. But I'm using ESXi 6.7 on an AMD Steamroller which does not have a hardware generator, and is not supported under ESXi 8 anyway so it's just not going to happen anytime soon. If I had to guess I would say I'm probably not alone in this regard.

Hi neonix
If someone truly understands what gparted is, they will be aware of the potential dangers.

If someone does not truly understand what gparted is, they would only view it as a way to
make changes to partitions and not be aware of possible consequences.

There are some kernel command line args, that can run this in some modes.

Without getting into the haveged entropy discussion, VM's are quite common in the server world, it seems odd that VM's would not pass hardware entropy to the Guest OS.

Each of my VM's is set to PXE boot, and has it's own initrd that gets loaded after the stock rootfs. On the dhcp/bootp server I just update what I need and have a script to package them. The extension list is in that initrd as well so I only need generic CD images for 32 and 64 bit from an rsync of the distro. I add my extensions to the CD and test them before I submit them, which is the phase I'm in now. We went down this rabbit hole because apache wasn't starting as it was supposed to in bootlocal.sh because mod_ssl was failing.

I compiled haveged and it's library to be in /usr/local though, this is the way.

I do see this in boot.log without haveged:

The crng init seems really late in the process, is this normal?

With haveged started in rcS, it happens sooner:

This three-ish seconds seems to be enough to make a difference.

If someone knows what gparted is, he is aware what consequences are.
