[gentoo-user] Questions about Pale Moon

Hello list,

I keep having another go at palemoon-bin, and each time I remember why I 
don't use it all the time in preference to Firefox.

Q 1:  I've asked this before, but I can't find the reply. How can I arrange 
for <CTRL><TAB> to step through the open tabs, one at a time, from left to 
right. Or is there another key combination to do that?

Q 2:  What other package do I need installed to give me the navigation 
symbols? I've attached a section of the window to show what I mean.

-- 
Regards,
Peter.

In firefox, this is done by activating tab previews with
browser.ctrlTab.previews, maybe that also works in palemoon?

Maybe check command line output?

Thanks Dale. Yes, it is installed - is it even possible to run KDE without

Your libxml2 appears broken after some ICU update and no automatic
rebuild of libxml2 or something (maybe something failed in the rebuilds
earlier in the queue from what portage figured has to get rebuilt after
icu upgrade). Rebuild libxml2 and that issue probably goes away.

I don't think that's it:

$ genlop libxml2
 * dev-libs/libxml2
[...]
     Wed Dec 13 12:07:18 2017 >>> dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.4-r3
     Sun Dec 17 10:39:28 2017 >>> dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.6
     Thu Jan  4 11:21:42 2018 >>> dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.6
     Thu Jan 18 10:41:33 2018 >>> dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.7
     Tue Jan 23 15:11:28 2018 >>> dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.7

To confirm that, I've just repeated the exercise after remerging libxml2 
again, and I got the same result.

This is the official build, the one that Walter pointed me to.

  First try x11-themes/hicolor-icon-theme and if that doesn't suffice
try adwaita-icon-theme (which pulls in x11-themes/hicolor-icon-theme).
Actually, you should already have them installed if you have gtk+(2 or
3).  Is this the official Pale Moon, or an unofficial build?

Oops! I should have thought to check there.

Yes, I do have them both installed already.

It's www-client/palemoon-bin-27.7.1::palemoon. I don't know whether that's 
"official", because when I "layman -a palemoon" I'm told it's not an 
official overlay. Different officialdoms, I suppose.

I can't compile from source because of this (from the build log):

8 9:45.12 ../../build/unix/gold/ld: error: /var/tmp/portage/www-client/

This is with gcc 4.9.4, and I get the same with gcc 6.4.0. I've only just 
noticed that about -fPIC; haven't all those problems been fixed by now?

  Disclosure... I'm a volunteer for the Pale Moon project (not an
official spokesman).  I do a contributed build for Pentium3-class
machines.  My idea of "official" is obviously "from the Pale Moon
website".  Can you do a quick-n-dirty install from the official tarball
to check if the icon problem happens with the official Pale Moon?  This
test will install into $HOME/pm

1) Go to http://linux.palemoon.org/download/mainline/ and download the
appropriate (32 or 64 bit) tarball for your system.

2) killall palemoon  # Ignore error message if Pale Moon not running.

3) rm -rf $HOME/pm && mkdir $HOME/pm  # Start from a known state

4) tar -C $HOME/pm -xvjf <tarball_name>  # Extract tarball

5) $HOME/pm/palemoon/palemoon  # Launch Pale Moon

  Note; this install is self-contained.  It does not splatter stuff all
over various library directories.  Does the icon problem still happen
with the official tarball?

  6.3.0 builds Pale Moon OK on profile 13.  I'll soon be doing the
switch over to 17 on my 32-bit desktop.  You might be able to get things
working with custom flags for the Pale Moon ebuild using package.env as
per...  https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/package.env

Yes, I'd gathered that. Kudos to you :)

Hmm. I'll have to put my thinking-cap on for that. Maybe tomorrow. This is 
what portage wants to do (I'm on profile 17.0):

  This may or may not be relavant.  I build Pale Moon manually for my
home machines, using the Mozilla Firefox process.  64-bit builds worked
fine with GCC-6.4.0 on profile 13.0.  Anything built with GCC-6.x under
profile 17.0 segfaults in 10-15 seconds after launching Pale Moon.  A
custom-built GCC-5.4.0 builds a stable Pale Moon.

  I'm currently doing a test build with GCC-6.4.0 on my 32-bit desktop,
having just finished the migration to 17.0.  Current ICEWM 1.4.2 (and
1.4.0) crashes out of X to a text console when I click on the menu bar
at the bottom.  I've dropped back to 1.3.12-r1 ...and copied the ebuild
over to a local overlay.  I'm not liking profile 17.0 far.

I haven't yet managed to compile 27.7.1 at all with either GCC 6.4.0 or 
4.9.4, using the palemoon overlay via layman, on profile default/linux/
amd64/17.0/desktop/plasma. I get the loader errors I quoted on Wednesday.

I wonder whether I should try the 17.1 profile...

These have appeared now. I don't know precisely what I did to achieve that, 
but I have installed a few versions over the last few days.
