Hi! |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm not sure, but I've been struggling with this bug: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
media-libs/mesa-13.0.0_rc2: libGL crashes on hardened AMD64 |
| 6 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598593 |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
( my duplicate is at: |
| 9 |
=www-client/firefox-49.0 segfaults with >=media-libs/mesa-13.0.0_rc1 on |
| 10 |
>=4.4.8-hardened-r1 |
| 11 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598700 |
| 12 |
) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
and it looks like (I had better show you the standard output when |
| 15 |
starting firefox 49.0 on plain 4.8.3 kernel: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by |
| 18 |
environment. |
| 19 |
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings |
| 20 |
will not be saved or shared with other applications. |
| 21 |
1478449652215 addons.productaddons WARN Failed downloading XML, |

| 23 |

| 24 |
(firefox:5208): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_loadable_icon_load: assertion |
| 25 |
'G_IS_LOADABLE_ICON (icon)' failed |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
and a few more lines to that effect. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
After some ducking for info I see that: |
| 30 |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S3_Texture_Compression |
| 31 |
is mostly used for games (and I'm not a gamer.) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
But it looks like, apart from mesa alleged fix (see in the bug report) |
| 34 |
not having propagated to us, [it looks like] that s3tc functionality is |
| 35 |
missing for my Firefox to behave... |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
There have been various tips in the various distro flavors about |
| 38 |
enabling s3tc, but I couldn't get it to work in Gentoo. |
| 39 |
Such as after emerging: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
# emerge media-libs/libtxc_dxtn |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
and issuing: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
$ force_s3tc_enable=true firefox |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
That still got me the line: |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by |
| 50 |
environment. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Also, the useflag: |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
https://packages.gentoo.org/useflags/s3tc |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
only has: |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
app-emulation/wine |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
as sole customer at this time... |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
I wasn't sure this was a post for the bug report that I linked to above, so I'm asking here on the users list. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
Anyone has any more clue about this issue? |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Regards! |
