wow, portage is way behind with versions.

I copied my .config from 5.13 to 6.7, and ran the following:

Command and result :

# genkernel --menuconfig --oldconfig --microcode=none all
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 4.3.8
* Using genkernel configuration from '/etc/genkernel.conf' ...
* Running with options: --menuconfig --oldconfig ...

It will create a VM

That's exactly what I'm interested in doing. A single node for use with our QA team.

I'm looking to set up Kubernetes on my Gentoo server, and I'm wondering what experience others have had getting things configured. I'm new to k8s from an admin pov, so any input would be helpful. I'll be starting with sys-cluster/kubelet installation and going from there. Anything else as far as ...

I fixed the issue by changing docker to user "overlay2":

/etc/conf.d/docker :

DOCKER_OPTS="--storage-driver overlay2"



# /etc/init.d/docker restart




I'm still interested in understanding how updating created this issue. I don't really know much about udev or how it's related to ...

I update my system packages, and now docker is failing to start. I need some help on this.

Can you verify that the binary in /usr/bin is definitely the one you expect (etc)? It definitely seems like it shouldn't be, but maybe we compiled bzip2 incorrectly in the stage3 (seems very unlikely).

Too late. I was forced to reimage the drive from a copy.

Perhaps I will try to sandbox this ...

Aha. I should've spotted this last night: your quickpkg was compressed using bzip2. I'm sure you can see the problem (we need bzip2 to decompress it).

Let's remake it from the stage3 with BINPKG_COMPRESS="gzip" quickpkg bzip2, (may need to put BINPKG_COMPRESS in make.conf within the stage3) and ...

Using the helper script https://github.com/zoobab/quickunpkg/blob/master/quickunpkg

The alternative is that you mv the binpkg (the .tbz2 file) into /usr/portage/packages/app-arch/ (so that Portage can find it) on your broken/main install, then emerge -v1 --usepkg=y "=app-arch/bzip2-1.0.8-r1" and it should install using the binpkg.

I think I found what I need: https://wiki ...

So why don't you just use "-march=native" -- and let GCC figure out which instructions your CPU supports?

hindsight, right?

I reckon your best bet would be to wget a stage3, chroot in, run quickpkg app-arch/bzip2 then install the binpkg on your real install.

sam_, thanks for your guidance.

I was able to get to quickpkg part:

/mnt/stage3 # chroot /mnt/stage3 /bin/bash
/ # source /etc/profile
/ # quickpkg app-arch ...

Today I upgraded machines from an i5-2400 to Xeon E-2236. I wanted to recompile system/world, so I changed my "march".

Intel lists teh E-2236 as Coffee Lake: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/191040/intel-xeon-e2236-processor-12m-cache-3-40-ghz/specifications.html

Can't you just emerge cronie without the anacron USE flag? Shouldn't that remove anacron and leave cronie to just run /etc/crontab as normal?

Thank you both for replies! I will get on this now.

I'd like to remove all old packages, except for anything related to the current kernel source and headers. I generated my kernel with genkernel.

Probably you have an entry in package.use
$ grep -r python3_4 /etc/portage/package.use

The resolution was to remove Python 3.4 from the system, and of course remove from eselect:

# eselect python edit

Recompile each python module that was compiled again 3.4. Be sure to add the -python ...

I think that python-3.4 not support openssl-1.1, but because you have yet this version installed?
Default PYTHON_TARGETS set by profile are python2_7 and python3_6, so python3_4 isn't longer required.

See also https://bugs.gentoo.org/673960

Portage forces installation of 3.4.

You did notice the part above which says the package list contains packages which cannot be installed at the same time on the same system, right? Portage will not let you install both app-emulation/runc and app-emulation/docker-runc, presumably because the docker fork installs many files which ...

How can I get past this?

# emerge app-emulation/docker-runc

I accidentally set the directory ownership for everything recursively under /var to root:root. I need help determining the correct ownership for each directory/file. I can't believe I messed up this bad.

I would be nice if Gentoo release official OpenStack image.

The solution was to get rid of the entire /var/www/localhost/htdocs/bugzilla/lib/i686-linux-thread-multi directory! It looks like that is where modules are installed by the bugzilla script, and they overwrite system modules.

I did some output from Bugzilla/Install/Requirements.pm

# ./checksetup.pl
$VAR1 = {
'package' => 'DBD-mysql',
'module' => 'DBD::mysql',
'blacklist' => [

],
'version' => '4.001'
};
Checking for DBD-mysql (v4.001) not found


I then checked which where installed in portage:

# emerge ...

Well, as for the version numbers, that's just different versioning scheme in portage and upstream.
But as for the output, are you sure you've rebuilt dev-perl/DBI ?
..and why does it look for it in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/bugzilla/ in the first place ?

For some reason, I suspect a variation of ...
