In fact that wasn't enough. Everything was working but one: ATLAS@home. |
| 19 |
That's a BOINC project that downloads a .vdi file with a 64-bit client for |
| 20 |
VirtualBox. To get that to work I had to use later versions of some |
| 21 |
packages, viz: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
$ cat /etc/portage/package.keywords |
| 24 |
~app-emulation/virtualbox-5.0.18 |
| 25 |
~app-emulation/virtualbox-additions-5.0.18 |
| 26 |
~app-emulation/virtualbox-extpack-oracle-5.0.18.106667 |
| 27 |
~app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-5.0.18 |
| 28 |
~dev-libs/libclc-0.1.0_pre20150305 |
| 29 |
~sci-misc/boinc-7.4.42 |
| 30 |
sys-boot/gummiboot |
| 31 |
~sys-devel/clang-3.6.2 |
| 32 |
~sys-devel/llvm-3.6.2 |
| 33 |
sys-firmware/amdgpu-ucode |
| 34 |
~sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.5.0 |
| 35 |
~x11-drivers/xf86-video-amdgpu-1.1.0 |
