PostPosted: Sun Sep 10, 2017 5:30 am    Post subject: Old kernel is broken when emerging glibc-2.23-r4 Reply with quote

I am unable to emerge anything that is dependent on glibc. I have just installed gentoo for the first time, so I may have missed something, but I have followed the handbooks directions twice now (I started over once).

The "old kernel" is the current stable version which is 4.12.5. In hopes that a new kernel would fix this problem, I tried out 4.13.0, but got the same nondescript error.

It states that syscall(<bignum>) will break and references https://bugs.gentoo.org/279260, which has a similar problem on an older kernel and glibc, but the recommended solutions do not work.

I am on Ryzen 1600X x86_64. As emerge has requested, here are the notable logs:

This is almost what it shows me when it fails, minus the weird character encoding information at the start of the line.

If you think it will be helpful, I am happy to provide /var/temp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r4/temp/die.env, but since it is huge, I have omitted it.

This error happens when I try to run any of these commands:
Code:

emerge --ask --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse @world
emerge --ask --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
emerge --ask gnome-base/gnome


So any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

You should be able to verify the kernel version doing uname -r. Does it say 4.12.5?

TheMachinesTeacher,

From the kernel version, 4.5.2-aufs-r1, it looks like you are chrooted from a live CD/DVD or your running kernel was copied from one.
4.5.2 is a very old kernel and the aufs part of the version shows that it contains a union filesystem that allows a read only filesysysem, such as a CD/DVD, to appear read/write by usung a section of RAM to keep the changes.

You may have omitted to mount /boot for later kernel installs.

However it happened, you are not using the kernel you think you are.

Well when I posted that information I was using a livecd because my gentoo installation does not have a desktop environment, so I could not use copy-paste or graphically browse the internet. I can boot into the installation however, and when I run uname -r it says
Code:

4.12.5-gentoo


When I run the commands that I stated cause issue, I get the same problem. I do see what you mean though about it being 4.5.2-aufs-r1 in my original post, but when I run the command again, it says

Code:

Portage 2.3.6 (python2.7.12-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0, gcc-5.4.0, uclibc-ng-1.0.25, 4.12.5-gentoo x86_64)

when I run emerge --info =sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r4

This problem persists outside of the livecd environment.

It looks strange to me that OP is using a uclibc-ng based system and trying to install, not upgrade/replace, glibc.

OP: from where did you get the environment you are using? uclibc-ng is uncommon on desktop systems and is probably not what you want. Your CHOST is consistent with using uclibc, which is good, but I'd be a bit surprised if you can usefully install glibc on this system even if you got past the immediate problem.

Wow super quick reply! Thank you.

Good point! I did not realize that uclibc-ng was a poor choice for a desktop environment. When I was going through the handbook, I did not know which stage tarball to choose and the one that had uclibc-ng seemed like the right one since I don't want systemd, nomultilib, nor just x32 (although I am just assuming x32 means 32bit, which I realize now that could be wrong).

I think I will try the installation again as it makes sense that I would have this problem if I used the uclibc-ng tarball. Thank you. I will report back if this does in fact solve the problem.

If that solves the problem, then in my opinion, the glibc/uclibc ebuilds need mutual blockers (or perhaps mutual masks, since we have dedicated profiles for each). Since it makes no sense to co-install them, the package manager should've prevented you from attempting it.

Selecting a tarball without uclibc-ng did solve the problem. Thank you all for the quick help and support.
