No Profile on Snapdragon x1 elite install (solved)

[ben24792]

Hello, I am trying to install Gentoo on my Asus Vivobook with a Snapdragon X1 ARM processor.
Here is my issue:
Installing from Ubuntu.
After i mount everything and chroot into the system:
emerge-webrsync gives the following output:

Code: Select all

>>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/var/db/repos/gentoo'...
 * Using keys from /usr/share/openpgp-keys/gentoo-release.asc

and if i try: emerge --ask --verbose --oneshot app-portage/mirrorselect

Code: Select all

!!! /etc/portage/make.profile is not a symlink and will probably prevent most merges.
!!! It should point into a profile within /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/

there is no profile

../../var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/default/linux/arm64/23.0/desktop this path doesn't exist.

Did anyone already see this issue or know how to fix it? i am using "Stage 3 desktop profile | openrc "

Thanks in advance for the help

ben24792,

Welcome to Gentoo.

The link to your profile comes from the stage 3 but the profile itself is stored in the ::gentoo repo.
It looks like you don't have that yet, so everything is normal.

Does your network work at all from inside the chroot?

What does

Code: Select all

ping -4 google.com

tell?
The -4 forces IPv4.

What about

Code: Select all

ping 142.250.187.238

Both go to the same place but the first one needs your nameservers to work.

If they both fail, what does

Code: Select all

ifconfig -a

tell and which interface would you like to use.

@ben24792 Welcome to Gentoo

maybe you forgot to execute cp --dereference /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/ before entering chroot.

you should also be aware of the Info in RED described in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:A ... ation/Base

while using non-gentoo installation media.

Warning
When using non-Gentoo installation media, this might not be sufficient. Some distributions make /dev/shm a symbolic link to /run/shm/ which, after the chroot, becomes invalid.

Making /dev/shm/ a proper tmpfs mount up front can fix this:

test -L /dev/shm && rm /dev/shm && mkdir /dev/shm
mount --types tmpfs --options nosuid,nodev,noexec shm /dev/shm

Also ensure that mode 1777 is set:
chmod 1777 /dev/shm /run/shm

Good Morning everyone,

Thanks for the tip, i forgot to do this, as this is the first time i am using a non gentoo installation medium
cp --dereference /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/

But this fixed it for me.

Thanks for the help. And wish me luck with making the kernel for Snapdragon
