  1. i have an AMD machine with a radeon card, on that machine i have to enable the amdgpu card and the radeon card in the profiles. Add them both to your profile, ego sync and and emerge -auDN @world

    make sure the /etc/conf.d/xdm is set to reflect sddm ... i am using gnome-light, so after running

    /etc/init.d/xdm start as root, made sure you have dbus, elogind and xdm added to the rc start up.
  2. Hi, just completed the upgrade for gnome 3.36.2 and and all went well, but now upon a fresh ego sync and emerge -avDN @world, i'm getting an X warning about my xdm file

     

    tux-x131e ~ # emerge -avDN @world

    These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

    Calculating dependencies... done!

    Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 KiB

    Nothing to merge; quitting.

    tux-x131e ~ # emerge --depclean

     * Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious
     * mistakes. Packages that are part of the world set will always
     * be kept.  They can be manually added to this set with
     * `emerge --noreplace <atom>`.  Packages that are listed in
     * package.provided (see portage(5)) will be removed by
     * depclean, even if they are part of the world set.
     *
     * As a safety measure, depclean will not remove any packages
     * unless *all* required dependencies have been resolved.  As a
     * consequence of this, it often becomes necessary to run
     * `emerge --update --newuse --deep @world` prior to depclean.

    Calculating dependencies... done!

    tux-x131e ~ #

     We always try and start X on a static VT. The various DMs normally default
    # to using VT7. If you wish to use the xdm init script, then you should ensure
    # that the VT checked is the same VT your DM wants to use. We do this check to
    # ensure that you haven't accidentally configured something to run on the VT
    # in your /etc/inittab file so that you don't get a dead keyboard.
    CHECKVT=7

    # What display manager do you use ?  [ xdm | gdm | sddm | gpe | lightdm | entrance ]
    # NOTE: If this is set in /etc/rc.conf, that setting will override this one.
    DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"

     

     

    I don't understand what or how it needs to be updated.

    X has started flickering and crashing since the update. It happens after 5 minutes when screen dims to go to sleep.

    Is there something i neglected to clean up?

     

    regards,

  3. Ok so here we are... i grabbed the funtoo live image from the funtoo.org site, and have successfully installed and broken my new system a few times haha

    some minor questions i have, upon issuing these commands

    chroot # ego sync
    chroot # emerge -auDN @world
    

    and having a fresh new world, there are a couple of cleanup commands presented and wanted to clarify. should i run the emerge --depclean before the 1st boot.

    Also, for libtool ... after compiling and installing libtool its recommends the command libtool --finish,

    am i pointing this at /usr/lib or /usr/lib64?

  4. Good afternoon, it has been awhile since i've run anything gentoo, and having aquired 2 thinkpads, windows absolutely had to go.

    I began the install by installing the systemrescue cd on a mmc flashcard, and boots the machine up nice and quick. Upon reading the funtoo installation pages, i realized i have a Uefi boot Thinkpad. its a 4th gen 11e with an AMD processor. Everything went as anticipated until it bacame time to chroot into the system.

    This was and has been my return error since my initial attempt;

    [root@sysresccd /mnt/funtoo]# env -i HOME=/root TERM=$TERM /bin/chroot . bash -l
    Illegal instruction (core dumped)

     

    I've rebooted twice thinking i missed a command somewhere in the instructions. The tarball i grabbed was gnome 1.4 current out of the AMD-excavator Subarch, and followed the funtoo chroot instructions from creating file systems Chap 5 thru 9 chrooting into the enviroment and nothing, Then i attempted the gentoo way from their handbook before having to ask and find out where i went wrong ... this was my last attempt last nite.

    I'm at the wall, what did miss ... before this last attempt using gentoo handbook i'd tried to burn the area31 live cd image to another usb stick, but it wont boot on the 11e or the x131e  I'd try to install it with.

    Regards in Advance

    Tom

     

    EDIT: Wrong subarch i believe ?
