Yes I get that, Funtoo Recommends System Rescue CD as it will boot UEFI. Also depends on Motherboard System setup.

looks like a warning saying it found two kernels , should be fine from boot.conf manual.... When using GRUB, boot-update will auto-enable UEFI boot configuration if it sees that your system has been booted in UEFI mode. Otherwise, MBR (legacy) boot mode will be used. I guess ubuntu booted in legacy mode.

wlan0: skip - SSID mismatch wlan0: No suitable network found looks like wpa_supplicant does not find the ssid you put in your config wlan0: 0: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ssid='internet ' maybe you look close at router I see a space at end of ssid

ok my last post does not work here sorry, but I did get it connected with this command as root: wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd -f /var/log/wpa.log # wpa_supplicant.conf ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel update_config=1 network={ ssid="yesnotworking" scan_ssid=1 # for hidden ssid psk="supersecretpass" proto=RSN key_mgmt=WPA-PSK } notice the lack of -B which makes it run in background - better to debug in foreground docs say.

maybe try this: wpa_supplicant -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -D nl80211 -i wlan0 replace -Dwext for -D nl80211 -dd -f /var/log/wpa.log will give you better idea of the problem

yes its ok, its just a warning - because it found two genkernels same warning here too.

not sure what you mean here.. but running getkernel there see the "Important" where it says: Unless explicitly stated via --no-clean or --no-mrproper, Genkernel will do a make mrproper in the kernel source tree, thus cleaning a previous build and removing the previous kernel configuration file in it. meaning it will remove your configuration and clean all previous builds! as to your boot.conf the boot { } part is what you need to change default "Funtoo Linux" to default "Funtoo Linux genkernel" mount /boot and look you should see the new kernel and initramfs then your ready to run boot-update

that will depend on your /etc/boot.conf make sure your config looks like this boot { generate grub default "Funtoo Linux genkernel" timeout 3 } and also if you have already run emerge --depclean it will try to remove old kernels. if you want to keep your older 4.8.15 kernel around you should do emerge --ask --noreplace =sys-kernel/debian-sources-4.8.15 remember to run boot-update after any changes to boot.conf

emerge should of built a new kernel for you via genkernel if that is how your new kernel got there. as to config_extract i think you want amd64 which is for most multicore processors.

I think you already solved that but its explained well here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Disks p.s. you are correct it is not in the Funtoo install instructions. edit. well as I just did a new Funtoo install yesterday I did not remember setting the first partition bootable. and just checked my main pc its not set either,. so it must have to do with grub as jhan eluded to.

you can try this portageq expand_virtual / virtual/cron

hi, openrc devs seem to think it was good idea to change names of interpreter , who knows , im sure answers are out there. if you look in /etc/init.d/ open a file and look at the top line.. change runscript to openrc-run . but honestly users should not be forced into this stuff IMO. run this and you will see a list of the files needing updated.. grep '^#!/sbin/runscript' /etc/init.d/* also could be fixed with sed in one go but possible break stuff like that. ps. just thought about situations where users would have to fix this some installed packages will install run-scripts in there but its really simple enough to fix.

yes its what I did, took reading the manual 3 times before I saw it, should look closer ah? thanks for replying, jhan, palica problem solved!

Your very correct, found it in boot.conf manual If multiple "Funtoo Linux" boot entries are created, the one that has the most recently created kernel (by file mtime) will be booted by default. Note that double-quotes are optional both in section names and in the boot/default value. Added the genkernel to default it worked fine. thanks for pointing that out, I missed it .

I would of thought so too but its not the case, thanks

after reading the docs its not clear to me what it is i need to change in /etc/boot.conf , which is unchanged I think. the old 4.8.15-1 is default at this point would like to have new one. i just want to keep the old kernel around a while just in case. $ cat /etc/boot.conf boot { generate grub default "Funtoo Linux" timeout 3 } "Funtoo Linux" { kernel bzImage[-v] } "Funtoo Linux genkernel" { kernel kernel[-v] initrd initramfs[-v] params += real_root=auto rootfstype=auto } "memtest86+" { type linux16 kernel /memtest86.bin } -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.2M Dec 27 17:41 System.map-debian-sources-x86_64-4.14.2-1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.3M Dec 24 2016 System.map-debian-sources-x86_64-4.8.15-1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M Dec 27 19:22 initramfs-debian-sources-x86_64-4.14.2-1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7.8M Dec 24 2016 initramfs-debian-sources-x86_64-4.8.15-1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.8M Dec 27 17:41 kernel-debian-sources-x86_64-4.14.2-1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.2M Dec 24 2016 kernel-debian-sources-x86_64-4.8.15-1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 147K Sep 15 07:54 memtest86.bin any help appreciated, thanks

maybe not relevant but a lang=c set somewhere will cause python to break, or even LC_ALL=c but you show its unset in your locale. python, from what I have found wants utf-8 everywhere.

just to update this matter, turns out I had put LC_ALL=C IIRC .bashrc or .Xdefaults or somewhere ? once removed it all went away. No idea why it matters, or why or what I was trying to do.

thanks for the reply, I thought it strange my laptop runs the query module fine and also note that the query origin works fine, but im still investigating this unicode error i noticed a warning or notice during the conky update this morning something related to U+xxx stuff but cant find it in my emerge logs. in fact I have no emerge log for today. HA!

that's interesting...didn't know that.. complains about 0xb4 which is the unicode character for the backtick. I guess I need to update python thanks.
