 Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2012 10:16 pm Post subject: No internet connection after installation |
 |
|
Hi, im seeking help from these forums as i couldnt find help anywhere. My problem is quite simple, i have no internet connection after the installation, i forgot to emerge dhcpcd.
Im using vmware , so at first i thought it may be the bridged connection working just fine.
I tried to emerge xorg-server and found out internet was not working.
This is how it looks :

If someone could help me it would be much appreciated  Reinstallation is a pain in the ass, so i hope it wont be necessary . |

Welcome to Gentoo!
The solution is actually dead simple. All you need to do is boot up using the live CD again and chroot into your install. All you should need to do get the internet working on the live CD, mount your paritions, then execute the following: | Code: | cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
|
And your set to go!
Alternately, you can download the required tarballs and copy them to /usr/portage/distfiles and then portage can emerge them from there. This may be tricky to do on a VM depending on how you can transfer the files.

The problem is, i dont have the liveCD, i used the .iso for the installation (minimal) and im using vmware.
Im triying the second choice, but is tricky since i cant move the files to my VM |

Actually it is even more simple, just set up the connection manually, as described in Handbook. No CD booting and chroot needed. DHCP client is no more than a helper, not needed for networking.

Okay, i got it, but now i get another problem when installing xorg.
Oh gentoo, why you do this to me.
Im sure it has something to do with the USE flags.

c0bra,
The key sentence is the one starting !!! The ebuild selected ...
Its telling you you need to add a USE flag from the list.
It almost certainly means that you are building a desktop but don't have a desktop profile selected.
What profile does | Code: | | eselect profile list |
have the * against?
Your profile selects many USE flags for you.

I selected the third, the 'desktop' profile, since im not going to install kde or gnome, imma install xfce.

added some flags (not all of them) and got it working, do i need to add them all? cant this process be automatic? |

c0bra,
Is there a reason you have -xorg in make.conf if you're setting up a desktop 
Also you have an invalid atom in package.use
