 |
|
Hi folks,
Back on Gentoo after a long hiatus (around one year, mostly for work / time reasons), I'm happily returning to Gentoo, and after installation was finished, some strange behavior appeared. I built Gentoo inside a live Ubuntu Xenial, which hasn't been difficult at all, and when reached the time of deployment, I just tarballed it, repartitioned and formatted the disk, and extracted the tarball like a standard stage3:
| Code: | | tar xpvf mytarball.tar.bz2 --xattrs-include='*.*' --numeric-owner |
After installing and configuring the bootloader, everywhing worked pretty out of the box, except some strange bugs:
- Ping had this old (and odd) permissions issue that led to not allow me to ping from an unprivileged user (already fixed);
- kscreenloker, after a few minutes, suddenly refuses to accept my password and I'm left with no alternatives other than reboot the system (i think pinned that one down);
- The system (kde?) is unable to remember the brightness after a reboot (we're talking about a generic ultrabook here).
- (other not discovered yet?)
As this system is rather new (no more than one week old and I haven't even been working every day with it), I'd like to know if we have some sort of sanity check -- something like revdep-rebuid that crawls and analyzes the whole filesystem looking for filesystem and permissions inconsistencies.
My system:
emerge --info | lspci | usb-devices
Thanks in advance.

Well, if you are worried about a package being corrupt or something; you can always use equery check, according to the man page, it's would even do all installed packages with a simple
Note: The * needs to be in ' ' to properly scan all packages.
Otherwise I recall, kde use to be finicky on the user saved configs (.kde and .config), specially on version changes. So you may want to try checking with a new user and see if settings are saved correctly for that user.
I don't know of anything right off hand that checks permission issues. |

Well, it certainly gave a lot of results! Although a big chunk of them are false positives (e.g. cache files and/or wrong timestamps), it seems that I've got some work to do.
Thanks a lot!
