 Posted: Fri Apr 20, 2018 12:13 am Post subject: eselect is wrong and I can not run menuconfig |
 |
|
It appears that my directory seems to be messed up.
1) eselect shows the wrong softlink
2) When I manually go into my correct kernel directory I can not make menuconfig
Any ideas what is wrong?

localhost / # eselect kernel list

Probably your running kernel's source is no longer installed. Check with | Code: | | equery list -i gentoo-sources |
(which is part of app-portage/gentoolkit, by the way). Report back with results.
Problem is, your running kernel is no longer in the Portage tree. You feel up to transferring your kernel .config and rebuilding with new source? Or would you like some suggestions?

Why is the directory showing 4.12.12 with all the files?

| It isn't. None of those files are installed by sys-kernel/gentoo-sources. That output confirms JRG's suspicion. The shown files are all artifacts of building the kernel as root using an in-source build. Although easiest, that's rarely the best idea. Among other reasons, it leads to exactly this situation, where the sources have been removed, you did not remove the build artifacts, and the directory persists despite being orphaned. |

I recently wrote a script to do the post-depclean residue of the kernels.
Warning: use at your own risk.
Also, perhaps one of our script wizards could clean it up, if needed.
| Code: | $ cat /usr/local/sbin/cleankernels
#!/bin/bash
remove_old_kernel()
{
echo $1 "wasn't installed"
#isolate kernel unique identifier
num=$(echo ${1} | cut -f2 -d-) # isolate field 2 with delimiter "-"
rm -r /usr/src/linux-${num}-gentoo ;
rm -r /lib/modules/${num}-gentoo ;
rm /boot/*-${num}-* ;
}
is_installed()
{
# echo -n "${1}"
for k in $(eselect --brief kernel list) ; do
if [ "$k" == "$1" ]; then
# echo " is installed"
return 0; #true
fi
done
# echo " is not installed"
return 1; #false
}
## Main program
for i in $(ls /usr/src); do
if [[ "${i}" == linux-4.* ]]; then
if ! is_installed ${i} ; then
echo "removing uninstalled kernel " ${i}
remove_old_kernel ${i}
else
echo $i "is installed - OK"
fi
fi
done
exit 0

Personally, I use $KBUILD_OUTPUT so that all the build artifacts go to a separate structure, which I can them rm -r to wipe all trace. This also lets me run the build as an unprivileged user.
As for your script, you could replace the call to eselect kernel list by open-coding the relatively simple rule it uses to identify installed kernels: the presence of both Makefile and Kconfig as files in the top level of the candidate directory.
The below is based on the script Tony posted, but mine is completely untested. Further, users are advised to read and adapt to the big banner comment. | Code: | #!/bin/bash
set -e
cd /usr/src/
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -name 'linux-4.*' -printf '%P\0' | while read -d '' i; do
if [[ -f "$i/Makefile" && -f "$i/Kconfig" ]]; then # kernel is installed
echo "Found installed kernel directory $i"
else
echo "Removing artifacts associated with uninstalled kernel directory $i"
# Remove the build directory
rm -r "$i"
# Removal of installed files should be here, but there are a few
# problems:
# - First, if the user set `CONFIG_LOCALVERSION` or
# `CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO`, the target files have a suffix
# that is inconvenient to derive here.
# - Second, as a safety measure, we should not delete even an
# uninstalled kernel if it is the default boot kernel.
# - Third, while we can count on /lib/modules/ to be available,
# we cannot generally assume /boot/ is mounted. In extreme
# cases (or when using some UEFI loaders), we cannot even assume
# that the user uses /boot/ as the mountpoint for the filesystem
# that holds bootable kernels.
#
# Due to these issues, users should replace the below no-op
# statement with removals appropriate to the local environment.
true
fi

linux-4.12.3-gentoo is install
linux-4.12.3 is not
-> say goodbye to linux-4.12.3-gentoo 
better going with cut -f2- |

Tony0945 ... some general comments in addition to the suggestions made by Hu.

Bash provides parameter expansion for such cases ... so having $var you can get the parts of the string you need ... for example:
| test: | #!/bin/bash
cd /usr/src/
for k in linux-*
do
echo ${k}
echo ${k:6}
string=${k%-*}
echo ${string#*-}
done |
| Code: | % bash ./test
linux-3.12.72-ck
3.12.72-ck
3.12.72
linux-4.16_p1-pf
4.16_p1-pf
4.16_p1 |

You don't need a substitution there 'for i in /usr/src/linux-*' will work perfectly fine.

I knew it could be improved. I'm very much a tyro at shell. Thanks to all. I didn't mean to hijack the thread but that problem of portage leaving detritus behind has bugged me for a long time. I maintain three kernels all the time. At the present time, the tips of 4.14, 4.9 and 4.4
This wasn't a problem to maintain manually until all of them began changing weekly and I started accidentally removing parts of installed kernels.
dman777,
Was this a help or a distraction? |
