kernel not starting on an lvm root file system
kindofblue replied to kindofblue's question in General Help
The lvm flag didn't work for me. I still see the same messages at boot time as those I posted in my original message. At least I have a working kernel with the manual build of the kernel I described. Thanks again. -
kernel not starting on an lvm root file system
kindofblue replied to kindofblue's question in General Help
Sorry I just saw your answer. I rebuilt the kernel with Device Mapper Support built in (instead of a module) and it's now working. I was not aware of the lvm use flag. I added it and I'm now emerging debian-sources-lts again. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks a lot. -
kernel not starting on an lvm root file system
kindofblue replied to kindofblue's question in General Help
Correction: the kernel parameter real_root in /etc/boot.conf is /dev/mapper/funtoo-ROOT. -
Hello everybody, I just installed Funtoo release 1.4 on an AMD K10 cpu; the kernel is debian-sources-lts version 4.19.67_p2-r1. I used LVM for all the file systems, including the root file system (I used the instructions in the following guide). I used the following kernel parameters in /etc/boot.conf (again from the guide mentioned above): dolvm real_root=/dev/funtoo/ROOT rootfstype=ext4 resume=swap:/dev/mapper/funtoo-SWAP. When booting I see the following messages: I have another box running Funtoo release 1.3 with version 4.19.37_p6 of the Debian kernel. I have the same se

Thanks to all for the replies. I'll upgrade to Funtoo 1.4 as soon as I can.

I tried to build kde-plasma/plasma-meta on two different PCs but they both fail on the same package, sys-apps/accountsservice. The error message is that systemd is required. I added the nosystemd mix-in to my profile but that didn't help. I tried to blacklist the package in package.mask but emerge returns an error saying that it must be unmasked. Would someone know if there's a way to build this package without systemd? Thanks in advance.

How can I find the release of Funtoo installed on my system
kindofblue replied to kindofblue's question in Portage Help
Thanks, but that shows the version of the kernel, which I think is not related to the Funtoo release version. -
How can I find the release of Funtoo installed on my system
kindofblue replied to kindofblue's question in Portage Help
Ok thanks. I see mostly 1.2-release when I run this command so I guess it means I'm running version 1.2. Would that explain why I don't get new updates? -
How can I find the release of Funtoo installed on my system

Here it is: denis@euclide(~)$ cat /etc/ego.conf # This is the ego.conf file [kits] # You can set your default kits here. Unset kits will use the Funtoo default prime/master # branch by default. # python-kit = 3.6-prime -
How can I find the release of Funtoo installed on my system
kindofblue posted a question in Portage Help
I haven't updated my Funtoo systems in a while and now when I run ego sync there's no new packages. I see that there are new releases of Funtoo (1.2, 1.3). Can someone please tell me how to see which release I'm running. Thanks. -
I am really sorry, I wasted your time all along. I sudoed to root on the MacBook and looked at the command history. I was root when I changed the profile. I wonder how I can work in that business and be sometimes so confused.
-
If you read the documentation on profiles, for example here, it doesn't say root privilege is required. I'm only trying to change my own profile, not system wide. I use sudo to emerge. For the rest I set up the two PCs exactly the same way, except for the stage download. Thanks again.

Thanks a lot for your help. Again, they're exactly the same denis@euclide(~)$ sudo cat /etc/sudoers ## sudoers file. ## ## This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root. ## Failure to use 'visudo' may result in syntax or file permission errors ## that prevent sudo from running. ## ## See the sudoers man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file. ## ## ## Host alias specification ## ## Groups of machines.

But the permissions on the system where command epro flavor desktop works are exactly the same as the other system where it doesn't work: denis@euclide(opengl)$ ls -l /etc/portage/make.profile/parent -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1411 Nov 4 06:56 /etc/portage/make.profile/parent denis@maxwell(~)$ ls -ld /etc/portage/make.profile/parent -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1365 Nov 4 07:42 /etc/portage/make.profile/parent euclide is the PC where the command works, maxwell the one where it doesn't. Besides, I remember installing Funtoo a year ago or so and epro was also working with my own account.

I don't think I have to be root or use sudo. I didn't have to one my other PC (the MacBook). Thanks anyway for your reply.

I just reinstalled Fundoo on two of my PCs, one being an old MacBook. The MacBook installation worked great, but I hit a problem on the other PC, an AMD 64 based system. I cannot set my profile with epro. Here's what I get: Would someone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Hello everybody, I followed this Funtoo document, http://www.funtoo.org/KDE_Plasma_5, that describes how to install KDE Plasma. I managed to get the login screen, but after logging in the screen stays black. I only see a big arrow cursor for the mouse. I couldn't install kde-apps-meta because there was a slot conflict. I only installed two of the meta packages: kdebase-runtime-meta kdecore-meta Is there other meta packages I should install to get a working desktop? Thanks in advance.

building Firefox fails at configure step
kindofblue replied to kindofblue's question in Portage Help
I finally reinstalled from scratch. Hopefully I'll be good for a couple of years without running in the same kind of problems. Thanks again for your help. -

I'm sorry I don't really understand your answer. Is there a way to reinitialize Portage to a sane state? -

I use KDE but i may have pulled in packages from other desktops inadvertantly. Here's the output of the commands you asked: -

kindofblue replied to kindofblue's question in Portage Help
Thanks a lot for the help. I use Linux at work and I use Gentoo/Funtoo at home, but unfortunately I don't know the intricacies of Portage well enough. The first emerge command fails with multiple conflicts: -

I tried to use the uploader to upload build.log but if fails with the error "You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file". I pasted the content of the file at the end. But first here's the output of emerge --info '=www-client/firefox-47.0.1::gentoo': And here's the content of build.log: -
Hi all, I've not been able to build Firefox since version 42; the current version in Portage is 47. It fails with the same error every time: failed to load site script /usr/local/share/config.site. This file exists and is readable. Has anybody encountered this problem? Thanks in advance.
