The directory, /var/cache/eix, has the permissions: drwxr-xr-x I ran eix-update as root. I changed the permissions to: drwxrwxrwx and it worked. Then I changed the permissions back to: drwxr-xr-x I hope I didn't break anything. Please let me know if this is a proper solution. Thanks, donjames

eix installs until it gets down to the last line and then: Writing database file /var/cache/eix/portage.eix... cannon open database file /var/cache/eix/portage.eix for writing (mode = 'wb') How can I fix this? Thanks, donjames Solution: cd /var/cache chown root:portage eix emerge eix ###### end of solution #######

That worked! emerge -C boot-update Thanks a bunch, donjames

I am trying to update a new install of Funtoo Linux. I get this message when I try emerge -uDNv @world sys-boot/boot-update ("sys-boot/boot-update" is blocking app-admin/ego-2.6.0-r1) What do I do next? Thanks, donjames

The file /usr/share/zoneinfo does not exist in my new installation. Help! Thanks, donjames Discovered that entire stage3 didn't get downloaded. Problem solved.

I am installing a new funtoo system. I type the command: mount -t proc none proc and I get the error message: proc does not exist What do I do now? Thanks, donjames Solution: Make sure that the entire stage 3 tarball gets downloaded. In my case, it didn't. When I downloaded it again, the proc directory got created. I just thought I would post the answer here since I suspect that someone else might have the same problem.

Okay. I finally got mariadb to work. 1) Deleted all of the flags recommended by https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MariaDB 2) Ran USE="-client-libs" emerge -v mariadb 3) Ran emerge --config =dev-db/mariadb-10.2.14 4) /etc/init.d/mysql start It works! Thanks to everyone for your help and suggestions. Sincerely, Don James

Here's what I did: 1) /etc/init.d/mysql start It didn't start because there was no mysql database installed. 2) emerge --config dev-db/mariadb Asked for password and created the mysql database. It then exited with error: "Installation of system tables failed! 3)/etc/init.d/mysql start mysql starts, but I can't access the database. mysql -u root -p gives an error. It won't accept the password that I entered earlier.

Help! I am trying to get mariadb up and running. It installs and I can run mysql, but the emerge ---config dev-db/mariadb exits with the following error: "Failed to initialize mysqld" Even though I can start the database with "/etc/init.d/mysql start", I can't access it because the config failed and it doesn't have my password. Can someone give me a hint about what is going wrong here? Thanks, Don James

How do I switch to 1.2prime?

Working now.

Hi Cardinal, I put the following code into /etc/portage/make.profile/package.mask: >=x11-libs/pixman-0.33.4 The system then installed pixman-0.33.2 and continued with emerge world. Thanks and bunch. Sincerely, Don James

The kernel is 4.3.0. I don't know why the 340.93 nvidia driver won't install. That is my question -- "Why won't the 340.93 nvidia-dirver install?" donjames

modprobe not working

I read the funtoo install instructions again. I followed exactly the instructions for installing funtoo using debian-sources. It worked! I now have my Toshiba laptop up and running. I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to do a manual kernel configuration for the past 5 days and could not get the Toshiba to boot. Thanks, Don James
