When running qtile I get the following error message:

[qtile] importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for qtile

Running qtile on Arch Linux works as expected.

$ qtile start

Wait unfortunately i found a patch through which chromium would compile on x86

please try to build chromium using those patches

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/chromium/patches/reenable-linux-i686-builds.patch https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/chromium/patches/chromium-i686-vaapi-fpermissive.patch https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/chromium/patches/chromium-105-bitmap-include.patch https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/chromium/patches/chromium-105-browser-include.patch

starting to collect them here packages which require icu69 (and have thus not been rebuilt
for icu 71 yet):

libreoffice-fresh

[linux and linux-zen] 5.16.12 needs a rebuild with gcc 11.2 so DKMS packages will work

get errors when dkms installing in make log

cc1: error: incompatible gcc/plugin versions
cc1: error: failed to initialize plugin ./scripts/gcc-plugins/structleak_plugin.so

gzip comes with asm code, if enabled, built a TEXTREL which gets bloqued on boot, so systemd don’t set keymap
A lot of tricks in forums, old thread more complete here $506 An old problem. Work around while asm gets fixed is call configure with DEFS=”NO_ASM” like this:

...
export DEFS="NO_ASM"
./configure ....

or,

./configure DEFS="NO_ASM" ....

I have not tested it, but gentoo on x32 have gzip like this and no TEXTRELS here.
No matter i486, i686 or pentium.

Hope it helps.

Best regards.

I am using Arch Linux 32 latest version on Sony VAIO VGN-FS215Z . The following is the audio device:

-fs215z:~$ lspci | grep -i audio

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)

When I boot the system after some time getting crackling sound in speaker. Sometimes it stops after few minutes and sometimes continue to sound. Really annoying. I am not getting the normal audio in any application. This problem was there in debian based OSs also but not there in any other OS.

Please help.

RC4 support not found
The following options are missing in the kernel:

CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER
CONFIG_CRYPTO_ECB
CONFIG_CRYPTO_ARC4

vboxdrv module is missing making virtualbox unusable.

I’m currently running kernel 5.9.0-1.0-pae but it doesn’t seem to be there in any version

Very easy to reproduce. lldb version 10.0.0, just try to run any binary.

[aeden@arch32 bin]$ lldb $(which date)
(lldb) target create “/usr/bin/date” Current executable set to ‘/usr/bin/date’ (i386).
(lldb) run
error: failed to launch or debug process
(lldb)

All versions of mldonkey crash in arch32 updated. (segmentation fault and core dumped)
