Advanced Gentoo Installation for SSD

[Hu]

If you have uninstalled udev and do not want it to come back, you could add it to package.mask so that Portage will prefer other solutions for the dependency resolver. I think this also causes Portage to fail with a somewhat helpful error message if there are no other solutions.

Okay I removed the gtk flags some packages and remove the geoclue and voila working


I find in internet the ifdown/ifup is aliases from ifconfig interface up/down

In early boot after then /etc/init.d/eth0 started write this message

Bringing up interface eth0

and delayed minutes to connect validated interface.

Not any error issue only the lot of delay.

Network working after....

@ khayyam

Thanks all thing worked, can i possible use pulseaudio without udev ?

I could compile but not work after the boot

my package.use for pulseaudio

media-sound/pulseaudio -udev gtk equalizer X alsa -qt system-wide



add to rc-update but some error at boot

last log

Aug 12 14:41:09 kawaii-hollowpoint pulseaudio[2294]: [pulseaudio] protocol-native.c: Denied access to client with invalid authorization data.

I've no idea about pulseaudio but I suspect the issue is that some combination of dbus, udev, policykit is required. Can't say more as I don't use any of the above.

best ... khay

Not specialy the the thread but also my problem the mixing the branch, i set the developer switch for some packages not available is simple amd64 branch. But after i want update everything but don't want emerge gentoo-sources.

How control the packages.

Example

package.use add the line what package use depencies.
package.keywords (or package.accept_keywords) contain the version of specific application. **9999 is the git, development version (i personaly use for dwb, herbstluftwm, ranger)

Oh but vainaly set the kernel version emerge not accept and pull the latest development version.

package.keywords

<=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.12.21-r1

[stephan-t]

I really don't understand how to work it. I only set amd64 accept keywords in make.conf globaly, but some applications require development keywords.

Just like transmission-daemon, transmission-remote-cli, mpv

What is the easiest method configure and simple use it, for daily worktime ?

One more questions packages with default flag pull many depends example: mpv pulled libproxy, libwebkit, libquvi, spidermonkey ( why spidermonkey?)

I recently used the Gentoo Overlay page and read the flagoptions.

What i mean? Use the stable packages with green colors, and mixed it with personal use some development packages.

Last but not least, 1.16 Xorg is safe for upgrade?

Quite frequently programs, may stay marked as unstable for quite some time. Reasons for this can vary, anywhere from the amount of critical bugs/issues, upstream recommendation, the package maintainers, not as frequently used, and quite possibly if a package frequently updates may stay unstable for longer periods of time. While a package is marked as unstable, doesn't necessarily mean it has issues, just more of there hasn't been much testing with it. Personally, I use ~amd64 myself (running full unstable); a few times I have encountered issues, but that doesn't mean it's too frequent (last serious issue, was nearly 6 months ago or so; I think it was when the new perl was unmasked, and that was only working on getting the various perl packages updated).

As far as dealing with a package that is marked as unstable; you are allowed to over-ride the unstable keyword (though, it is not recommended to mix stable and unstable). Otherwise, you could use an alternative program that does the same thing. I know for sure, there's multiple packages in portage that does the same thing as transmission, chances are one of them has a version marked stable.

As far as several dependency being pulled in; it's hard to say exactly why it's pulling such and such package. The dependency that you can effect will depend on your USE flags (not all USE flags correspond to a dependency, but in general most have an effect on them).

Hi everyone

Some another noob question next again:
I have a Intel Cpu and Nvidia video card, can compile the xorg without llvm? This is huge package and lot of

time spent making the package. Only reason the left Gentoo is my incompetency. Similar settings or packages in

Archlinux less then in Gentoo. I'm getting older, and not like rolling distro or another some reason, the

Archlinux not flexible as well. No have another device manager, and doesn't rolling back packages version

without igoring pkg or use dowgrade package. I'm not good at USE flags, and recently use milomouse's

make.conf, package.accept_keywords or package.use with little modification.

make.conf
http://pastebin.com/YBKyg665

package.accept_keywords
http://pastebin.com/7uTwJSaF

package.use
http://pastebin.com/5nT8MDWw


This files contain use flags, but not minimal and pull those depencies. After i installed the core system,

prepare for system remove udev and replaced with mdev from busybox packages.
I don't know that necessary use udev, but i doesn't find nowhere compared with mdev.
What is the pros and cons because i don't use only one keyboard, and trackball. Only udev could rules and

autoplug, automount, but this time not use both function. Maybe i will bought the other keyboard and change

same time under Xorg.

I only one stable packages from mirrors, but i know two method use development packages instead of.
In make.conf set global switch with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" or not set globally, but in

package.accept_keywords set correct version and switch.

Example:

www-client/dwb-2014.03.07 ~amd64

What is the better way?


Oh forget one thing, after then replaced udev, remove the systemd library from my system?

[steveL]

[stephan-t]

Thanks steveL


I usually followed the gentoo wiki step to step, but i can't understand why default some flags in mesa or xorg-server packages.

gallium, gallium pulled the llvm, but i haven't use amd video cards this is required properly in mesa?
Safe the built xorg-server without udev flag?


The wiki sayed: set the X use flag in make.conf

@steveL

Thanks to the fast respond, I haven't got a another computer only own it the smartphone with weechat client. I understand those steps and hope not to hard accomplished. I set the desktop profile but, never used Desktop Environment, my herbstluftwm settings fairly enough for use every day working. Love this Gentoo modularity, not fine udev change my mind and switch to static dev or mdev, very nice idea different package version not brake the system.

thanks allready.

Hmm Need for me a initramfs? I never install at gentoo, but in Archlinux default. I never feel different usage.

[stephan-t]

I am not open the new thread, my question also put this post.


I think my gentoo is broken.

update output

and emerge --info


and last fail before i manually fix portage

what is the next step?
