Want a Split-usr systemd profile

[heikkikk]

Hi.
I was asked to switch to split-usr

I had the profile default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/gnome/systemd
so i have systemd, and i would like to keep it if possible.

i already ran the guide to the point where it says 6. Switch to a merged-usr profile.
so i ran it.

and now i noticed there is no profile that has both merged-usr and systemd.
I also use Gnome as seen from my current profile.

Any ideas on how to proceed?
When i try to run emerge -avuDU --backtrack=120 --verbose-conflicts @world
i see there are packages with -systemd (systemd disabled)

I want to keep it.

Thank you

I was asked to switch to split-usr

Who asked you? systemd no longer supports non-/usr merged filesystem layouts, so there aren't any split-usr 23.0 systemd profiles.

I want to keep it.

Sorry, systemd devolopers have decided that you can't, they don't allow it. Gentoo is just following upstream here.

If you have problems with the emerge output, please share it.

Some packages (e.g. installkernel) can have USE=-systemd without impacting systemd as init system.

So... I can safely switch to default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/gnome/systemd
now that i have run the merge-usr -script?
right?

EDIT: And the portage asked me to switch to split-usr

Read the the news item carefully. Step #3 of the migration procedure applies to your setup; you must migrate first to default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/gnome/systemd/merged-usr according to the other news item, and then continue the migration to default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/gnome/systemd from step #4 of the procedure.

heikkikk,

In the past, 17 and 17.1 profiles were default split-usr, so it was not mentioned in the name. Now 23 profiles are by default merged-usr, so you don't see it in the name. Also, as somebody above mentioned, systemd doesn ot support split-usr anymore.

And last but not least, I don't know why portage asked you to switch to split-usr, but you better save messages like that so you can ask for clarification because I'm pretty certain portage didn't ask you to do that, but the message meant something else.

Best Regards,
Georgi

heikkikk,

I would like to confirm that this is the only correct information/procedure:

[...] you must migrate first to default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/gnome/systemd/merged-usr according to the other news item,

and then continue the migration to default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/gnome/systemd from step #4 of the procedure.

This is what i keep getting when trying to run emerge -avuDU --backtrack=120 --verbose-conflicts @world

logs and command outputts: https://3.14.fi/spidermonkey/

[sMueggli]

The linked logs show problems with spidermonkey, probably caused by rust.

At which step are you stuck? Transition from split-usr to merged-user?

So, i have run the merge-usr script and i have switched to the profile

Code: Select all

# eselect profile show
Current /etc/portage/make.profile symlink:
  default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/gnome/systemd/merged-usr

but after that i never got the spidermonkey compiled at leasts no tusing the command

Code: Select all

emerge -avuDU --backtrack=120 --verbose-conflicts @world

You mentionet rust, so this is my only rust version installed:

I wonder why your system is trying to install version 115.9.1 when 115.10.0 is already up to date:

Code: Select all

I don't have it, but I can see the differences between the two versions:

Could it be that you still have outdated entries in your /etc/portage/package.use (especially: old python settings) ?

Also check who needs it:

Code: Select all

 emerge -cpv spidermonkey

Yes, sorry I have not looked at the output of "emerge --info" ... here it shows clearly you are on a gnome/systemd profile.

Okay, I would like that you uncomment (or delete) both lines:

Code: Select all

*/* PYTHON_TARGETS: python3_10 python3_11
*/* PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python3_10

(and please check also that there are no settings in your make.conf for python)

AND THEN I would like to see the output of emerge -uUDvp @world

Okay ...

- this is an old installation (e.g. net-misc/youtube-dl does not exist anymore; now it is net-misc/yt-dlp)
- no update of python (https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-ite ... n3-12.html )
- and you have gnome- and kde-applications ... with wayland ...
- and some applications from overlays (brave)
- some weird settings in Use-flags ("kwallet ... -kwallet")
- a settings where I really dont know if both can be activated (INPUT_DEVICES="evdev ... libinput"; AFAIK you can use only one of them)
- in your world-file: net-libs/webkit-gtk:4
- strange settings for LUA:

Code: Select all

/etc/portage/package.use/lua:*/* LUA_SINGLE_TARGET: -lua5-1 -lua5-2 -lua5-3 lua5-4
/etc/portage/package.use/lua:

/etc/portage/package.use/lua:dev-libs/libpeas LUA_SINGLE_TARGET: lua5-1

- old mask (which should not be relevant):

Code: Select all

/etc/portage/package.mask/zz-Heikin:=net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.32.1

... what could possibly go wrong


What I would suggest:

1. Make a backup of your world-file and all files in -r /etc/portage/*

2. Delete (yes, I know it is not recommended; but we have a backup) these lines in your world-file:

Code: Select all

net-libs/webkit-gtk:4
www-client/brave-bin::brave-overlay
app-office/libreoffice-bin
dev-lang/python
dev-lang/ruby
dev-libs/cudnn
dev-libs/libaio
media-video/ffmpeg
net-misc/youtube-dl

3. Create a file for vlc in /etc/portage/package.use/vlc with this content:

Code: Select all

# temporary because of bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/864721
media-video/vlc -vaapi

4. Delete the files /etc/portage/package.unmask, /etc/portage/package.use/lua, /etc/portage/package.use/zz-autounmask (yes, you have to allow a lot of things later)

5. Edit your make.conf and delete the line: RUBY_TARGETS="ruby31" and correct your USE= (some settings you have already through your desktop-profile)(decide if KWALLLET y/n):

Code: Select all

USE="avif geolocation gmic gphoto2 -graphicsmagick jpeg2k kwallet lua opencl tools webp -libav ffmpeg firmware imagemagick postscript svg2 visio inkjar webkit networkmanager appindicator aalib xinerama minizip libcaca opus lensfun krita color-management widgets graphite v4l v4l2 vaapi vdpau vulkan chromecast flac imap xml openssl joystick charmap flickr raw gimp exiv2 scanner samba script rustfmt"

6. And again: emerge -uUDvp @world (allow the questions for unmasking)
