many thanks, steveL, that's very helpful!
props to Markus09 for the extra info and refined mask.
so cool.

Can you update as "SOLVED" or delete your post then please?
It would be nice if you introduce your role when you make this request.

Ten years ago people discussed this .

If this practice is officially sanctioned by the community, then why is it not mentioned
in the Announcement: Guidelines ...

So yes, it works just as easy as the doctor sez it does.
Nice that the Gentoo Handbook is updated for GPT and UEFI.
Thanks to Gentoo volunteers for that.
I presume the bios_grub partition is for Windows dual boot; I do not use one.
genkernel installed files into /boot

Well, after I got into reading that wonderful set of documentation,
the added complexity of encrypting the file systems and LVM
was a bit distracting; causing me to lose track of the details that
I am trying to sort out. Haha! :)

So, now I am back to the updated Gentoo Handbook, on this page ...

Fantastic!
Thank you so much for the awesome lead with more modern info.
Thanks Troopo!

Is the fstab in the aforementioned Quick Installation Guide workable with the partitions created and subsequent mount points from an earlier section of the document?

Thx!

Thank you, Doctor.

In an attempt to make use of my current state, here is what I did.
While chroot'd, sysresccd boot # mount /dev/sda2 efi
sysresccd boot # grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.

Hello,

I'd like to get a kind of sanity check regarding the document Quick Installation Checklist . Can it be relied on for UEFI booting? I would have thought the document would mention 'efibootmgr'. But what do I know. :) I suppose my ultimate question about that guide is, "Does it cover ...

During the last couple of days a gentoo system would not make it through complete build of world.
The update of libpeas was consistently failing.
I barely recall what the log said. :)
I decided to simply try adjusting use flags to see if it helped and it did.

In my particular config, libpeas ...

I saw the new ebuild for django 1.7 and decided to uninstall the one installed via pip and go with this one. I'm assuming that the Gentoo community decided that the bundle created by the django dependency list is a useful collection for use with django.

Is there some reason the ebuild uses ...

Hopefully, you are meaning 1TB, not 1GB. As 1GB for $50-55 is rather high (specialy considering a dvdr holds about 4GB, and you can get a pack for about $15-20) Yeah. 1TB last week for $55. This week, $75.
Appears to be basically same specs, different warranty: 2yr, 5yr respectively.
Perhaps that ...

You appear to have wiped your vdb (the installed pkg database):
/usr/sbin/python-updater: line 758: /var/db/pkg/*/*/RDEPEND: No such file or directory
So yeah you might have to reinstall: you can save off your configs, like /var/lib/portage/world but get a more comprehensive list first. Thanks so ...

Thanks Hu!

Yes... I also have -gnome in my use flags and I was on profile #3, "default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop"

I have configs posted: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-993882.html

This thread was intended to ask a simpler and smaller question.

Cheers,

Indeed, I have the following during all the portage complaints:

Does portage sometimes say the wrong thing? or is it merely confusing? Perhaps a bad ebuild is misguiding us in our attempts to get through this systemd madness.

Can someone help me interpret what the following snippets indicate?
# emerge -NDutvp world

I'm using the gnome/systemd profile; masking sys-power/upower-pm-utils works, thanks.

I still think this either shouldn't be necessary or at least hinted at in the news item. I have a pretty standard stable gnome/systemd system, so I guess this confusion affects a bunch of people. upower-pm-utils ...

Can somebody post a link or simple direction for using EUdev?
thx!

Here is what `emerge -Dutvp world` looks like: # time emerge -Dutvp world

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

As I should leave the system's python alone and instead use pyenv or whatever is the equivalent of rvm (for ruby)

Hi,

I'm starting to like to the new naming strategy.
Change is hard. lol!

BTW, for new or experienced Gentoo users, the gentoo-x86-quickinstall doc is not updated as much as the all-in-one long format. IMHO.

Thanks tons for the "clue-by-four" and the solution to immediately disable this feature.
I've started reading this, now: Predictable Network Interface Names
I may as well learn the new way, while I am at it!

Thx again!
