I tried Denis' suggestion -- recompiled a Coreboot with all suggested flags: no difference. 2. I reformatted the disk to MBR, and proceeded with full encrypted Parabola install, as per the wiki (ETX4, and not BTRFS), so as to put aside the doubt that maybe my initial choice of GPT was the troublemaker. Still could not boot Parabola (BTW: still using ROM with Denis' suggested GRUB2 flags) 3. I reformatted again, MBR, two partitions (SWAP & EXT4), no encryption, no LVM. Coreboot was able to boot Parabola, though I did get odd `mei_me` errors [1] So.. I'm thinking that maybe the issue is with Coreboot & LVM. However, the GRUB2 `lvm` module should be loaded -- as per the compile flags I set for Coreboot provided by Denis. Or.. it's the Whirlpool encryption! I just did a quick search, after reviewing Denis' flags, and `gcry_whirlpool`[2] is not in that list... So.. I guess it's worth a try to recompile Coreboot with that flag. I'll post back more info when I've had time to do so. In the meantime, if anyone has idea/info on the `mei_me` errors, I'm all ears :) & Thanks again for your help & patience & All the best for 2019 Ben [1] https://framapic.org/gallery#RTBEkkH2aXrK/9WeTzmYlvEqx.jpg,LkTzoeogEFhA/JNzAZlFLLI6a.jpg [2] gcry_whirlpool - This module provides support for the Whirlpool (hash function) cryptography tool.

AFAIK the xtreme kernels are not to be merely installed and used, but require some manual configuration by each user; and presumably some occasional maintenance by each user may be required to adapt to upstream changes - i would try the linux-libre-lts kernel before deeming this as a bug - it could just be mis-configuration of some security rule On Thu, 17 Jan 2019 17:53:36 +0000 edgar at openmail.cc wrote: > For me, using linux-libre by itself creates issues, because it does > not like my graphics card. have you reported that as a possible bug? - it would be incredibly peculiar to have some hardware that works only with the xtreme kernel and not the standard kernel - again, i would want to check that the behavior also with the linux-libre-lts kernel From isacdaavid at isacdaavid.info Thu Jan 17 19:02:30 2019 From: isacdaavid at isacdaavid.info (Isaac David) Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2019 13:02:30 -0600 Subject: [Assist] libQt5Core.so.5 not found In-Reply-To: <20190117134213.327a9e50@parabola> References: <20190117123918.GA16846@parabola-pocket.localdomain> <20190117134213.327a9e50@parabola> Message-ID: <610EEA16-8120-40D9-9977-6712E7486B99@isacdaavid.info> Le 17 janvier 2019 12:42:13 GMT-06:00, bill-auger a ?crit : On Wed, 16 Jan 2019 16:39:09 +0000 edgar at openmail.cc wrote: I keep getting an error in different applications which is related to this (same symptoms): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=232682 it would be helpful if you could mention at least one such program that exhibits the problem I face the same error on linux-libre-lts i686 when trying to open qjackctl, qTox, possibly others.

How can I know if something was broken? I should install audit, and what then? I don't know what system accounts were being created or what package I should reinstall.

It was Christmas when I did this and, after finishing the installation I did 4.5 and 4.6, also did an upgrade (pacman -Syu) and installed a few packages (vim zsh grml-zsh-config zsh-completions) without problems. Today, I tried to upgrade (pacman -Syu) and got the problem. I hope there is enough information, but I can provide whatever you need, just ask. Thank you. =) -- Jos?

I tried reinstalling one by one all packages that got upgraded, and the one triggering opensysusers hook was util-linux. I installed audit and then reinstalled util-linux and the hook ran without errors, so I think everything is alright now. Is this a bug? Should I report anything anywhere? For me, it seems that either opensysusers (hook provider) or shadow (usermod provider ---usermod was the command executed by the hook) should have audit as a dependency. -- Jos?
