Hi all. Does Clear Linux support running binaries for the x32 ABI? If I look at the following line # CONFIG_X86_X32 is not set in https://github.com/clearlinux-pkgs/linux-lts/blob/master/config , it seems to be disabled. For many applications, x32 clearly outperforms i386 and x86-64, e.g. (for functional programming): https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/chicken-users/2015-09/msg00000.html https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/bigloo/2016-12/msg00015.html In the long run, also compiling x32 binaries could be an important performance option for Clear Linux. Ciao Sven

Research survey: Impact of Microsoft Acquisition of GitHub

by Asavaseri Natnaree

Dear Clear Linux contributors, I am Natnaree Asavaseri and currently undertaking a research internship at Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan. As a part of my research, I am analyzing the impact of Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub. I would like to conduct a survey to understand how developers perceive the Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub, especially from contributors to Linux distributions and BSD families. So please consider voicing your opinion by allowing us up to 5 minutes to complete our short survey. https://goo.gl/forms/lbIL5qsinDRQyTaK2 We would like to remind you that participation in this survey is completely voluntary and your identity is hidden for anonymity. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Natnaree Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan

Have you tried loading the KVM module with nested=1 to actually enable it? See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/quick-docs/en-US/using-nested-virtualization… > Could somebody explain why?

Nested KVM support

by Christian Bourque

Hi, I'm trying to run Clear Linux in a VM on the Proxmox hypervisor (KVM). For that I've used the Clear Linux KVM image and I managed to make it run successfully. But on the first boot I noticed this kernel message on the console: "kvm: no hardware support". I was a bit stumped since everything seemed to be working correctly. So I started digging around and I found this page on the Clear Linux web site to check processor compatibility: https://clearlinux.org/documentation/clear-linux/get-started/compatibility-… Here's the output of the script (executed on the host where the hypervisor is running): root(a)host:~/tmp# ./clear-linux-check-config.sh host Checking if host is capable of running Clear Linux* OS for Intel® Architecture SUCCESS: 64-bit CPU (lm) SUCCESS: Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (ssse3) SUCCESS: Streaming SIMD Extensions v4.1 (sse4_1) SUCCESS: Streaming SIMD Extensions v4.2 (sse4_2) SUCCESS: Advanced Encryption Standard instruction set (aes) SUCCESS: Carry-less Multiplication extensions (pclmulqdq) SUCCESS: EFI firmware root(a)host:~/tmp# ./clear-linux-check-config.sh container Checking if host is capable of running Clear Linux* OS for Intel® Architecture in a container SUCCESS: 64-bit CPU (lm) SUCCESS: Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (ssse3) SUCCESS: Streaming SIMD Extensions v4.1 (sse4_1) SUCCESS: Streaming SIMD Extensions v4.2 (sse4_2) SUCCESS: Advanced Encryption Standard instruction set (aes) SUCCESS: Carry-less Multiplication extensions (pclmulqdq) SUCCESS: Virtualisation support (vmx) SUCCESS: Kernel module kvm SUCCESS: Kernel module kvm_intel FAIL: Nested KVM support It seems that nested virtualization is required to run Clear Linux inside a container (VM?)! Could somebody explain why? What kinds of limitations can I expect if hardware-assisted virtualization isn't exposed to the guest os? Thanks Christian

Re: [Clr-dev] [PATCH clr-bundles 1/1] Add KeePassXC as a pundle

by Thiago Macieira

Thanks. Though I was a little trigger-happy and it looks like the packaging hasn't worked yet. I must have stopped it to fix some other issues in Autospec and never came back to it. Doing so now.
