  6. static IP configuration

    in Installation Help

    Posted

    before doing any of this: nameservers="192.210.200.10" to nameservers="8.8.8.8"

     

    basically drop in a known working name server 1st, double check the gateway is correct.  the information you gave omits the subnet mask.  the work network could have a wonky subnet mask.

     

    post the output of ifconfig, and ifconfig -a, and dmesg.

     

    i use network manager, there is a command line ncurses interface for it...  id emerge network manager (and follow along funtoos package page about it) from chroot, and use nmtui in console to configure the ip addresses.

    you could turn that old machine into your offices new dhcp server that assigns specific addresses to specific computers, and provides generic pool ip addresses to roaming machines with dnsmasq.

    last time i tried (a long time ago) to make a sysrescuecd usb boot drive with unetbootin i had problems, although it does have its own usb media install instructions, i highly recommend usb media, its more responsive and quicker than cds, but is limited to later stuffs bios supporting it, that old machine probably doesn't do usb boot but it might.

    i just got the systemrescuecd iso to test with unetbootin again, ill play with it in virtual box.  i see they improved the usb stick install quite a bit.  its down to a simple script now.

    hi welcome to the forums.  i also am a former slackware user.  i did a bit of distro hopping and eventually landed here.  that kind of machine i would build over ssh, and take your time.  boot live media, setup ssh, and ssh into the live media.  have a more powerful gui work station or what ever sshed in, then get screen going on the live media so you can detach the terminals, and leave the system to work in the background.

     

    i think of installing funtoo as like parting together a linux system.  you use another live distro temporarily either directly or by ssh, mount the drive and chroot to it's mount point then you can directly repair any problems or fix anything from the chroot.  if the system doesn't boot correctly re load chroot, and work on it.

     

    on the new funtoo computer im building the os on to, i partition, and format the hard drive, i install the stage3, a kernel, and a boot loader.  once i get that running stable, booting properly with networking, and everything going well, tada i reboot into a working funtoo machine.  i emerge everything else i want, and set everything else up like gui, and sound from the funtoo machine, rather than chroot.  once that is up you can turn ssh on and work on the funtoo system from anywhere headless.  you'll probably want to run that older machine as a server.

     

    i use xubuntu 14.04 live for chrooting on my machine when i install/reinstall/repair it, i dont bother with ssh or other machines anymore.  your core 2 machine could handle gui live media so you could chroot from debian live media easily.  the core2 machine could probably handle usb live media too.  from the live media you can look at the wiki and forums about building what ever, or troubleshoot packages you're having problems with and have access to the funtoo system under the live media via chroot.

     

    i like xubuntu because its set to go for many situations including wifi, where i found debian is a little lean to be using as a repair Swiss army knife.  i like the alternate media because its less hoops to jump through and you're already comfortable with it.  it would probably be a good idea for you to gist the mounting/chrooting commands you use to load up funtoo on github, and give it good tags so you could google exactly for the commands from live media.

  14. imgur is bad sauce

    in Funtoo Infrastructure

    Posted

    imgur is known for hosting, and serving unsavory content(porn/gore)....  the links need to be removed from the forum.  sad but true...

     

    how to find imgur links:

    http://forums.funtoo.org/index.php?app=core&module=search&search_in=forums

    (or advanced search)

    then look for "imgur" with out the "" marks.....

     

    suitable image hosting sites include:

    #upload and go

    https://img.bi/

    http://tinypic.com/

    https://pomf.se/

    http://postimage.org/

    update imgur has been unblacklisted.  things should return to normal in a bit.

  21. Emerge rewrite in rust

    in Dev Central

    Posted

    drobbins told me the speed of portage is limited by ebuilds calling bash when i was asking about rewrites in c.  (i thought paludis was c, oops :)  what are you guys doing, caching the dep tree?  im surprised the deps are calculated at all rather than defined within ebuilds?

  22. trying to update our sysytem

    in Portage Help

    Posted

    i agree, 2 years...  fresh install time...  letting a system rot for 2-3 months is one thing 2 years is too much.....  id backup data you intend to save and start from scratch then restore data backups....  anyways why are you manually pulling tarballs rather than "emerge --sync && emerge -avuND world"????

  23. feed readers

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    im looking into feed readers...  so translators can start tracking the install documentation and know its been updated or watch site changes as they occur such as this very forum post i will be informed about on my browsers reader, but id like a stand alone....  with out ads

     

    i found 3 readers in portage and 1 outside of it

     

    outside:

    rssowl http://www.rssowl.org/download garbage, freaks out about browsers and trys to integrate browsers.  again garbage

     

    portage:

    quiterss (hates my xfce4 dark theme cant see ANYTHING)

    rssguard (good)

    yarssr (good but doesnt support atom and looks super old)

    liferea (so far so good)

     

    http://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/710409-goodbye-google-reader-linux-rss-aggregator

     

    right now im using the chrome addon "rss feed reader" that wants me to become a pro (though it freaks out on some of the jira feeds i sent it)

     

    im not looking for answers or anything im just scratch padding this for further smoothing over in the future.  i intend on posting a wiki page with some interesting feeds to watch on it eventually.  this has been on my mind for at least a month, i hope posting it can let my ocd mind drop it already...

     

    these are the feeds i watch, in order wiki, forums, bugs:
