[gentoo-alt] simple question about installing chromium browser for use in debian OS using gentoo prefix..

[gentoo-alt] simple question about installing chromium browser for use in debian OS using gentoo prefix..

[Michael Fothergill]

Dear All,

I notice from looking at a recent post on the debian user list that
the current versions of the chromium browser available in debian
stretch and buster are rather old and are missing quite a few security
updates.

The user was requesting a newer version of chromium be made available
in debian to solve the problem.

It occurred to me that I could use gentoo prefix to install the latest
version of chromium from the gentoo repositories.

That ought to be more recent.

If I would do that, would the installed version of chromium be seen by
the debian OS window manager (e.g. LXDE or GNOME or can you only run
the browser from inside the gentoo prefix directory after starting it
up and specifying path to the browser ie something like
/usr/bin/chromium <return> etc?

What exactly is the offset used by gentoo prefix?

Is it some kind of chroot environment?

What is the correct way to copy files in an out of it from the debian
OS environment?

Regards

Michael Fothergill

PS

I have gone and tried to install the chromium browser using gentoo prefix.

I have run into the bug discussed here:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/647740

The package net-libs/nghttp2-1.39.1
fails to compile

See here
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8346068.html#8346068

and the appropriate log file pastes therein.

I tried adding the local use flag asio to the make.conf file:

mikef@fart ~ $ !229
more /home/mikef/gentoo/etc/portage/make.conf
# Added by bootstrap-prefix.sh for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
USE="asio unicode nls icu ssl"
CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j3"
CONFIG_SHELL="/home/mikef/gentoo/bin/bash"
# sandbox does not work well on Prefix, bug 490246
FEATURES="${FEATURES} -usersandbox -sandbox"

and ran

source /home/mikef/gentoo/etc/profile

to update the system to let it see the new flag.

I reran emerge chromium and it failed again for the same reason as before.

Suggestions on a workaround are appreciated.

Regards

MF

PS

The bug discussion by Gabor Vida says "After debugging the configure
script, I ended up that if configure gets --with-boost=${EPREFIX},
then it properly finds Boost::ASIO, as it can set BOOST_ROOT and
BOOST_LDFLAGS." amongst other things.

What does this refer to and if it would help where does this script live?

Can I edit e.g. with emacs and add this extra line somewhere and it
would then fix the problem?

Comments appreciated.

Regards

MF

Hi Michael,

First, I think emerging something like chromium pulls in a lot of heavy
dependencies, which often haven't received any Prefix attention, or were
simply not kept up-to-date.  I'm not aware if anyone is using Prefix as
their desktop env, I once did so (years ago) but it's tedious at times.

Now, with that "warning" in mind, it seems that for
https://bugs.gentoo.org/647740
adding --with-boost="${EPREFIX}"/usr might have the right effect.  Did
you try modifying the ebuild adding that to myeconfargs?

It's in your portage tree (probably still in $EPREFIX/usr/portage, more
recent location in $EPREFIX/var/lib/repos/gentoo) in
net-libs/nghttp2/nghttp2-1.39.1.ebuild.

Thanks,
Fabian

Re: [gentoo-alt] Re: simple question about installing chromium browser for use in debian OS using gentoo prefix..

[Michael Fothergill]

Many thanks for the reply.

I went in the $EPREFIX/var/lib/repos/gentoo directory to look for the
nghttp2 ebuild......

The ebuild lives here on my machine:

mikef@fart:~/gentoo/usr/portage/net-libs/nghttp2

I found the nghttp2-1.39.1.ebuild file.

Toward the end of the file there is a bit of code with the myeconfargs
variable (or whatever it is) present in it:

multilib_src_configure() {
        local myeconfargs=(
                --disable-examples
                --disable-failmalloc
                --disable-python-bindings
                --disable-werror
                --without-cython
                $(use_enable cxx asio-lib)
                $(use_enable debug)
                $(multilib_native_use_enable hpack-tools)
                $(use_enable static-libs static)
                $(use_enable threads)
                $(multilib_native_use_enable utils app)
                $(multilib_native_use_with jemalloc)
                $(multilib_native_use_with xml libxml2)
        )
        ECONF_SOURCE="${S}" econf "${myeconfargs[@]}"
}

multilib_src_install_all() {
        if ! use static-libs ; then
                find "${ED}"/usr -name '*.la' -delete || die
        fi
}
mikef@fart:~/gentoo/usr/portage/net-libs/nghttp2$

***************************************
Presumably if I would edit this file with e.g. emacs then I could add
--with-boost="${EPREFIX}"/usr

to the file after the two instances of myeconfargs (or do I only do it
once in the ECONF_SOURCE line?).....

Also would I add --with-boost="${EPREFIX}"/usr OR
--with-boost=/home/mikef/gentoo/usr
ie the actual path on my machine here?

I did not realise the ebuilds were editable files that lived in
directories in the install itself.
I thought portage used them for the compilations but they were off
limits to users like me and only assembled
by developers and converted to a form that was not easily accessible etc.....


If this succeeds and chromium compiles, could I use the make.conf file
video card entries etc from my conventional
gentoo install I have here on this machine to modify the gentoo prefix
make.conf file to allow me to emerge and
install xorg-server ie  x11-base/xorg-server in gentoo prefix and then
run startx etc?

I would then  install i3 and dmenu etc and then run chromium.......

I think this is better than using e.g. bedrock linux etc.  Gentoo and
debian are both good.  If you combine them
then that would be useful I think.

Comments appreciated.

Regards

MF

I took edited the ebuild file for the nghttp2 package as follows:

multilib_src_configure() {
        local myeconfargs=(
                --disable-examples
                --disable-failmalloc
                --disable-python-bindings
                --disable-werror
                --without-cython
                 --with-boost=/home/mikef/gentoo/usr
                $(use_enable cxx asio-lib)
                $(use_enable debug)
                $(multilib_native_use_enable hpack-tools)
                $(use_enable static-libs static)
                $(use_enable threads)
                $(multilib_native_use_enable utils app)
                $(multilib_native_use_with jemalloc)
                $(multilib_native_use_with xml libxml2)
        )
        ECONF_SOURCE="${S}" econf "${myeconfargs[@]}"
}

I added an extra line (shown in red) to the ebuild in the myeconfargs flag
setup list or whatever it is called.

I then tried running emerge again but it failed as follows:



mikef@fart ~/gentoo/usr/portage/net-libs/nghttp2 $ !295
emerge net-libs/nghttp2

It didn't like the change made to the ebuild file it seems.

Hi Mike,

Run:
ebuild nghttp2-1.39.1.ebuild digest

that would fix it

Many thanks for the response.

I tried it and it worked.

nghttp2 has compiled.

I am going to try to emerge chromium now.

MAny thanks again.

node js 9999999 has compiled and now chromium is slowly compiling.

I should have turned on the jumbo-build flag..........

I have a conventional gentoo install on this machine alongside
debian/gentoo prefix.

If I would take e.g. the video card settings etc from the make.conf from
the ordinary gentoo install and put them in
the gentoo prefix make.conf would that help me configure xorg-server to
work properly when I come to emerge it?

Suggestions on the way forward here are welcome.

MF

You can try this, I don't know how much will work (videocards and stuff
sounds like things which won't work unprivileged).

Try it, see where you hit problems.

In my experience graphics stuff can work on Prefix. At least without
drivers on the way... I've used the 3D graphics visualizer Rviz from my
prefix.

Many thanks for the suggestions and advice again.

Chromium has emerged and has been installed.

I added the video card and input device entries to the gentoo prefix
make.conf file.

I ran the source and env updates.

Then I emerged x11-base/xorg-server.

It chuntered away through 15 of the 23 packages grumbling about there being
no kernel in /usr/src/linux which I ignored.


It then failed trying to emerge the input device package dev-libs/input:

* Messages for package dev-libs/libinput-1.13.2:

I ran the emerge command again adding the exclude option for
dev-libs/libinput:

mikef@fart ~/gentoo/etc/portage $ emerge --autounmask-write
--exclude=dev-libs/libinput x11-base/xorg-server
Calculating dependencies... done!

Dear All,

If there is no way to fix the input device compilation problem, the next
step
is to try bedrock linux, a meta distribution specifically designed to allow
more than
one linux distro to be combined and run together in a set of layers.

It would help if we'd know which files are installed out of the prefix.

Since this package uses meson.ebuild, it seems this one may not be aware
of Prefix.  In particular, my guess meson.eclass should use
"${EPREFIX}/$(get_libdir)" in it's mesonargs in meson_src_configure.

Many thanks for the advice again.

I ran emerge dev-libs/libinput again.

The output of

emerge --info '=dev-libs/libinput-1.13.2::gentoo'

is here:

http://dpaste.com/2P3MT0E

and

mikef@fart:~/gentoo$ emerge -pqv '=dev-libs/libinput-1.13.2::gentoo'

returns:

[ebuild  N    ] dev-libs/libinput-1.13.2  USE="-doc" INPUT_DEVICES="-wacom"

The build.log file is here:

http://dpaste.com/2276D8K

The environment file is here:


http://dpaste.com/1XYP48H


I am not sure if there is a command I can run to tell me which packages are
needed to build a given package.

Comments appreciated.

The build log file has this piece in it just before the crash occurs:

I think I added for stuff that wanted libinput just (in this case for qt):

(My EPREFIX is /tmp/gentoo)

echo "dev-qt/qtgui -libinput" >> /tmp/gentoo/etc/portage/package.use

And I could emerge stuff that way.

I also needed to do:

mkdir -p /tmp/gentoo/etc/portage/profile && \
echo "sys-fs/udev-init-scripts-32" >>
/tmp/gentoo/etc/portage/profile/package.provided

as reported in this issue: https://bugs.gentoo.org/649808

A great many thanks for the help here.


There are quite a few different write ups on making patches in gentoo.


I am using this one:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/patches

I am going to do the following things:


1.  I am going to create a directory to put the patch in:
2. mkdir -p /etc/portage/patches/dev-libs/libinput-1.13.2
3. /etc/portage/patches/dev-libs/libinput-1.13.2/prefix-libinput.patch
4. I will then enter the ebuild directory for libinput-1.13.2 and run the
following command:
5. ebuild libinput-1.13.2.ebuild clean prepare
6. I will then run ebuild libinput-1.13.2.ebuild digest as you recommended.
7. Finally I will run emerge dev-libs/libinput again and see if it compiles
and installs.


I am going to do this now.

If you think I should change anything in the above list please let me know
in a post.

I will also replace the $EPREFIX symbol with /home/mikef/gentoo in each
instance in the patch code.

You don't have to do that, in the ebuild ${EPREFIX} expands to the
correct thing.

this is for creating /code/ patches, not for patches against the ebuilds
themselves
You need patches to ebuilds, which, if I know what patches you tried and
worked for you, me and the team can commit to the tree so it sticks.

This also means below instructions aren't going to fly.

1. Change the libinput-1.13.2.ebuild file
2. run ebuild  libinput-1.13.2.ebuild digest
3. emerge --resume or emerge <package> (whichever is resuming what you
   were doing)
4. if it works, report the diff here, or preferably in a bug so we can
   see to getting it applied

Thanks,
Fabian

Many thanks again.

OK I went into the ebuild directory for libinput.

I then edited the ebuild file and added the code you gave at the end of the
file:

src_install() {
        meson_src_install
        if use doc ; then
                docinto html
                dodoc -r "${BUILD_DIR}"/Documentation/.
        fi
}

pkg_postinst() {
        udevadm hwdb --update --root="${ROOT%/}"
}

Was I meant to add it to the existing code as I just did?

Comments appreciated.

Haha, I gave you a patch, sorry.

The patch just describes which change you need to make.  If you really
want to have an easy life, then restore the original ebuild (rsync if
you will) and run this:

% patch libinput-1.13.2.ebuild < path/to/the-patch-content.patch

Then you can run ebuild .. digest.

There is a chance the patch won't apply, because I didn't attach it.
In this case I think it's quicker if you "read" the patch yourself, find
the location what the patch is about, and make the change (as indicated
by the lines prefixed with - (removed) and + (added)).

Does this help you?

Fabian

Looking at your patch code based on what you have just explained,

I could go back and re-edit the build file and remove the extra code I
added at the end restoring the file to its original state.

Then I could move the cursor up to the following section of the build file:

src_configure() {
        # gui can be built but will not be installed
        local emesonargs=(
                -Ddebug-gui=false
                $(meson_use doc documentation)
                $(meson_use input_devices_wacom libwacom)
                -Dtests=false # tests are restricted
                -Dudev-dir="$(get_udevdir)"
        )
        meson_src_configure

and then replace the line -Dudev-dir="$(get_udevdir) with

-Dudev-dir="${EPREFIX}$(get_udevdir)

Your patch also has these lines in it:

--- a/dev-libs/libinput/libinput-1.13.2.ebuild
+++ b/dev-libs/libinput/libinput-1.13.2.ebuild
@@ -60,7 +60,7 @@ src_configure() {

are these lines suggesting that I make any other changes to the ebuild file?

They look like they are saying that an ebuild file has to be changed in a
particular section.

If the only change I have to make is the single line above I will do it and
then run the digest command and try to
emerge libinput again.

correct, there was only one actual change in it.

I did it and I ran emerge libinput and it has compiled and installed.

What do I run the diff command on?

I don't even know if I have diff installed.

Dear All,

I put the line

x11-base/xorg-server -suid

into the package.use file.

I did the source update

I then ran emerge xorg-server again.

It ran OK until it decided it needed to emerge sys-fs/udev-init-scripts
as a result of the -suid change:

This is a similar problem as before.

The fix is less obvious though.  Since this package is not going to be
working/useful in Prefix as is, I think it's better to avoid having this
one installed.

Do you know how to figure out which package needs
sys-fs/udev-init-scripts?

Michael,

I don't think you should be trying to run startx at all.  In fact, I
think you already have one x running, so why run another one?  This is
typically one such thing that needs "root" privileges, and most likely
you can also just use as-is from the host system.

Why won't chromium start for you?  You had it emerged, hadn't you?

Fabian

Many thanks for your response.

I tried running chromium to see if it would work.

I did as user and then as root.

mikef@fart:~$ /home/mikef/gentoo/usr/bin/chromium
[1459:1459:0628/081848.057654:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID
sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather
than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that
/home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox is owned by
root and has mode 4755.

as root

root@fart:/home/mikef/gentoo# /home/mikef/gentoo/usr/bin/chromium
[1568:1568:0628/082021.807096:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(89)] Running
as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

Suggestions on a fix here would be appreciated.

If I get away with using the xorg-server of debian than that would be very
helpful.

Chromium is just not going to be helpful here.  If you've got root,
you'll have to do something like:

# chmod 4755 /home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox
# chown root /home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox

then run chromium as user.

Many thanks again for your advice.

I ran the two commands you recommended:

root@fart:/home/mikef/gentoo#  chmod 4755
/home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox
root@fart:/home/mikef/gentoo# chown root
/home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox

root@fart:/home/mikef/gentoo#

I also tried running chromium as a user:

mikef@fart:~$ /home/mikef/gentoo/usr/bin/chromium
[2105:2105:0628/083309.657067:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID

/home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox is owned by
root and has mode 4755.

Maybe I need to talk to the chrome community.....

try

perhaps chromium also cares about the group

I ran the command you suggested (should it be the chown command for a group
- would the chgrp command be help here?):

root@fart:/home/mikef/gentoo# chown root:
/home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox
root@fart:/home/mikef/gentoo#

It still gives the same error:

mikef@fart:~$ /home/mikef/gentoo/usr/bin/chromium
[2223:2223:0628/084737.606858:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID

/home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox is owned by
root and has mode 4755.

I added an extra line into the package.use file when I was trying to get
xorg to work as non root:

It is affecting the suid function....

I commented it out but it did not help.

Also, when I was doing the non root xorg stuff I ran the following four
commands:

chown -v :input /usr/bin/Xorg

chmod -v g+s /usr/bin/Xorg

gpasswd -d user input

usermod -a -G video user

I got them from the gentoo non root xorg web page.

I hope they have not contributed to the problem.

This seems pretty clear.  Run

ls -la /home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox

That should show the file is owned by root, and that it has rwxr-xr-x
with an s somewhere.

Many thanks again.

I ran the command to list the chromium sand box file:


mikef@fart:~/gentoo/etc/portage$ ls -la
/home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22384 Jun 26 01:52
/home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox
mikef@fart:~/gentoo/etc/portage$

I don't see any "s" in it but it is owned by root.

Then now it should be as chromium wants it to be ...

I'll keep my fingers crossed it works this time.

It looks gloomy and miserable but it actually runs OK in the end.......


Many thanks.

PS Before I did this I tried installing chromium in debian.

It ran OK.

I tried running the gentoo prefix chromium to see if the successful sandbox
setup for the debian chromium might help the gentoo prefix one to work in
some way.

It did not seem to help.

But the chmod 4755 command did........

Cheers

Michael,

Great news! Now, after all the support you got from Fabian, I suggest you make a nice tutorial out of it :)

Cheerios,

Re: [gentoo-alt] Re: simple question about installing chromium browser for use in debian OS using gentoo prefix..

[Michael Fothergill]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 368 bytes --]

If I would make a tutorial, would it be a discussion on the gentoo talk web
page or a youtube video or something else?

What is the most interesting thing for other users here?

Is it the compilation of chromium and the fixing of the nghttp2 problem or
is the installation of gentoo prefix on debian that I did at the beginning
of
this endeavour?

Regards

MF

Hi Michael,

How was this project going?  Have you succeeded in compiling chromium in
Gentoo Prefix?

[Michael Fothergill]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4384 bytes --]

Dear Benda,

Yes. I did succeed with the compilation.

I logged back into gentoo prefix to check again.

See here:

mikef@fart:~/gentoo$ equery l chromium
 * Searching for chromium ...
[IP-] [  ] www-client/chromium-76.0.3809.36:0
mikef@fart:~/gentoo$

If you run /usr/bin/chromium the browser window fires up.........

The history command still shows the commands I ran to install it.

Cheers

MF
