 Posted: Sun Jun 13, 2021 9:08 am Post subject: (solved) sys-kernel/linux-firmware masked? |
 |
|
I'm trying to get the wifi on the laptop running. This is using: | Code: | 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 BGN |
Following the iwlwifi wiki, I need sys-kernel/linux-firmware. But so far I only get different messages this is being masked and messages about licences. It would be helpful if these messages indicated what license of mask is needed...
| Code: | think /home/xxx # emerge --pretend sys-kernel/linux-firmware
setlocale: unsupported locale setting
setlocale: unsupported locale setting
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-kernel/linux-firmware" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-kernel/linux-firmware-99999999::gentoo (masked by: || ( ) linux-fw-redistributable no-source-code license(s), missing keyword)
A copy of the 'linux-fw-redistributable' license is located at '/var/db/repos/gentoo/licenses/linux-fw-redistributable'.
A copy of the 'no-source-code' license is located at '/var/db/repos/gentoo/licenses/no-source-code'.
- sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20210518::gentoo (masked by: || ( ) linux-fw-redistributable no-source-code license(s))
- sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20210315::gentoo (masked by: || ( ) linux-fw-redistributable no-source-code license(s))
- sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20210208::gentoo (masked by: || ( ) linux-fw-redistributable no-source-code license(s))
- sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20201218::gentoo (masked by: || ( ) linux-fw-redistributable no-source-code license(s))
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
* IMPORTANT: 8 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news read to view new items.

I tried to set a license file with "no-source", "linux-fw-distributabe", set this as mask but always the same result.
I cannot remember having to need this firmware last time I installed the laptop.

You should add license in /etc/portage/package.license
| Code: | | # echo "sys-kernel/linux-firmware linux-fw-redistributable no-source-code" >> /etc/portage/package.license |

Ah, you need both in the same file... (I use files in a /package.license directory)

Spanik,
If you will accept a licence globally, it can go in make.conf
That what I tend to do. Read a new licence, if its OK it goes in make.conf so I don't get reminded.
If its the GPL (Gates Private Licence) I do without the package and anything else that may use it.

Ok, never done that. I do have a couple files in the package.license dir but that is for rather specific ones like faac (MP4), Virtualbox and Vivaldi. Never occurred to me that you might need more than a single license for a package so I tried each separately as a license and as a keyword.
Anyhow, I do now have the firmware but no way to get that wifi going. I'll open another thread in the hardware part of the forum.
(in the meantime I found that you can download just the needed firmware on the Intel website)
