 Posted: Sun Nov 25, 2012 10:34 pm Post subject: PORTAGE_BZIP2_COMMAND setting is invalid: 'bzip2' |
 |
|
Hello everyone
I am trying to install Gentoo on my laptop using a Fedora 17 live CD.
I followed the steps in the Installation docs found on the Gentoo website as well as the handbook, but when i reached the step for chrooting and env-update, i received the following error:
| Code: | localhost / # env-update
PORTAGE_BZIP2_COMMAND setting is invalid: 'bzip2'
PORTAGE_BZIP2_COMMAND setting from make.globals is invalid: 'bzip2'
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
|
How do I go about fixing this issue so I dont get this error any more and I can continue with my installation smoothly?
All help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!
also an unrelated question
I have Windows 7 already installed on the laptop and I want to set up my grub in such a way that if gentoo is not chosen by the user during the GRUB menu, the system will automatically boot into Windows 7. Here is my partition layout:
| Code: | [root@localhost gentoo]# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders, total 488397168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xac03e4ef
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 63 29366819 14683378+ 27 Hidden NTFS WinRE
/dev/sda2 * 29366820 29575664 104422+ 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 29575665 404516699 187470517+ 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda4 404516700 488397167 41940234 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 404518748 404723547 102400 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 404725596 411017051 3145728 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda7 411019100 488397167 38689034 83 Linux
|
sda1 is the hidden partition, sda2 is the recovery partition, sda3 is the main Windows 7 Partition (The C:/ partition) and Sda5 is /boot, sda6 is swap and sda7 is /root which are all for Gentoo.
What should I do in my grub.conf file to make Windows 7 boot by default if no one chooses anything from the menu?
Thanks for ALL of your help!
oh! one last question, will it be possible for me to install X, LXDE, and wireless adapter drivers all through the chrooted environment or do i have to boot into the new environment before? |

xsilentmurmurx,
Did you make any changes to /usr/share/portage/config/make.globals or override it make.conf 
The entry should be PORTAGE_BZIP2_COMMAND="bzip2"
For grub to default to win set the default variable to whatever windows is

Just follow the boot loader setup page here
| Code: | # Which listing to boot as default. 0 is the first, 1 the second etc.
default 1
title Gentoo Linux 3.4.9
# Partition where the kernel image (or operating system) is located
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-3.4.9-gentoo root=/dev/sda3
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,5)
makeactive
chainloader +1
|
The above will default to Windows XP
