Gentoo Studio: A Gentoo Linux Professional Audio Workstation

audiodef · Posted: Sat Jan 09, 2021 12:19 am Post subject:

There is now an updated installation tarball, (URL is the same as on the installation page) with some minor caveats, which I will work on ironing out:

There is no mirrorselect on the System Rescue CD. Don't sweat it.

Don't forget to add a user.

You may need to do a grub-install /dev/sda from inside chroot. Check for the existence of a /boot/grub dir with grubenv inside it.

You need to change "xdm" to "lightdm" in /etc/conf.d/xdm.

If you have connection issues, double-check that you did a cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc outside of chroot. Double check that you did not type "resolve.conf".

If commands don't work inside chroot, make sure you've done a source /etc/profile.

Not sure if the kernel compiled with full preemption enabled. I need to figure out a way to ensure that it does. In the meantime, you may want to run genkernel --menuconfig all and make sure full preemption is enabled.

The automatic install should not be used at this time. Please use the manual install instructions. I need to go over the install script and make sure it works as intended.

As always, please let me know what does and does not work for you.

More information:

In your chroot_install.sh which I don't use, I manaully do by hand

env-update
source /etc/profile
emerge-webrsync
eix-sync

emerge-webrsync does nothing
I
eix-sync should call emerge --sync but it does not run

Hope this information are useful

Regards

You should be following the manual instructions here: https://gentoostudio.org/?page_id=2
with the caveats mentioned in a recent post I made. Don't follow what the scripts say.

The only ways eix-sync would not work are resolv.conf didn't get copied or something went wrong earlier. I just wish I could actually see your machine because I'm unable to replicate your issues using the tarball that's now live. Maybe try downloading it again?

soundrolf,

do you want an UEFI boot ? If yes, you shouldnt format /dev/sda2 with ext4; format it with FAT32 (UEFI can only read an ESP with FAT).

New Information:

I figured out that in /usr/portage/profiles are no profiles, no directorys, only 2 files

Made a check with: eselect profiles list
returns: can not found any profiles.

The /boot directory is empty

I will still Investigate my GentooStudio Box

Hope this can help

Regards
