  2. boot-update gives MBR when GPT

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    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.

  4. wpa_supplicant does not connect to wi-fi

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    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.

     

     

     

     

  7. How to upgrade and patch kernel?

    hummm.. is there case if I run genkernel in /usr/src/linux ? may be for better result need previously  `cd /root` ?

    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

  12. Confusion regarding debian-sources kernel and using LVM

    in Installation Help

    Posted

    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.

  14. [solved] how to make new kernel-4.14.2-1 default

    in General Help

    Posted

    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 .

    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

    oh your right I got that wrong... sorry but you should have a dir /etc/portage/make.profile with a file called parent

    I belive make.profile was a file before the change.

    here is mine..

    change your subaarch to reflect your hardware.

  25. keymap in terminal under Xorg (gnome)

    in Installation Help

    Posted

    https://www.funtoo.org/Funtoo_Linux_Localization

    talk about Azerty keymap...

    only thing I could find for Xorg is gentoo fourms this:

    To change the keymap on your console you should change the keymap var in your /etc/conf.d/keymaps:

    Code:
    keymap="fr"

    To change it in X, you can add the setting in your xorg.conf in the keyboard section:

     

    Section "InputClass"
            Identifier             "keyboard-layout"
            MatchIsKeyboard        "on"
            Option "XkbLayout"     "fr"
            ...
    EndSection
