Hello, i'm new to this forum and to linux, especially gentoo and to IT programming stuff. I've already installed gentoo, following official guide on virtualbox and decided to install once again. This is offtopic covering my problem, so id rather start with another one. How to copy text code from installation environment from virtualbox to here, so that i could post my next problem to the next topic?
For example
Code:
Total: 3 packages (3 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
etc...

You can SSH into your installation - regardless where it is, virtualbox or in a remote location, and use your mouse as usual to copy/paste from terminal window.

Jaglover, so i emerged sshd by entering emerge --ask --changed-use net-misc/openssh and entered every command down the page https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SSH and whats gonna happen? I still cant copy it from the terminal to windows but i can select, right click and there is a paste text in the terminal and not on windows still.What exactly should i do to SSH?

You should run the daemon on gentoo and from Windows you can connect to the VM via ssh with a program like putty.

I don't have PuTTY, but a web search tells it is possible.

putty asks me for a login and passwd so i entered login its livecd but what is the password?I tryed to change the passwd in gentoo whether its root or non-root and iafter entering passwd in putty it tells me its wrong

For connect directly from root you should add line PermitRootLogin yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart sshd service.
Remember to remove this line when you are done since it is not safe to leave remote access to the root user.

its already been set to permitrootlogin yes, i just get "permission denied" when entering passwd in putty

Many ways to skin this cat. For instance, add an user in your liveCD, set password and use this account to log in, then 'su -' or 'sudo -i'.

*not password but ACCESS denied and whatever the login is after i enter password it outputs me ACCESS denied

Perhaps you have password based logins disabled, turn it on.

you mean in /etc/ssh/sshd_config password authentication?

that one was in chroot

gentoouser212 · n00b Joined: 12 Sep 2021 Posts: 43

i chrooted and created login with passwd and then changed password authentication to yes

So that's why nothing works. To run daemons which open ports under 1024 you need root rights. Your root in chroot has no root rights in host.

hold on, to run daemon i need only these commands?
root #rc-update add sshd default

root #rc-service sshd start

Jaglover · Posted: Sun Sep 12, 2021 8:13 pm Post subject:

You need to start the daemon in host, that's all. It may be already running. Then log in over SSH and use the same chroot command you used previously to get into your Gentoo install. No need to do all the mounting again.
