 Posted: Tue Apr 02, 2013 6:02 pm Post subject: cant connect to rsync server |
 |
|
Iv just finished my first ever install but I cant update portage and i cant emerge anything.
when i try to update portage i get name or service not known - i tried using the method of selecting mirrors from the install guide but apparently "mirrorselect" is an unknown command. I also noticed that teh make.conf file isnt where it was during the installation - theres nothing in /mnt. I found one in /etc but its a blank file.
Is this the right file? and if so does anyone know how i define new mirror (both rsyn and general) urls and what the urls are?
cheers. |

I suppose you mistake some network configuration parts.
You didn't tell us if internet is working, so is the result of

| Is "name or service not known" shown inside the chroot, outside the chroot, or both? |

what does ifconfig say?
oh, also paste "ls -la /sys/class/net" output, please.
Since you just installed Gentoo, I suppose you fell for the udev update, which might have crippled your network connection. |

yea, networks totally knackered.
ping to anything results in unknown host.
"I suppose you fell for the udev update, which might have crippled your network connection." - quite possibly, however i have no idea what that is  couldnt find any reference in installation guide.
ipconfig puts out

Thats no problem, just boot up a live cd or dvd, follow the guide like you did for your initial install and choot.
Change to your set-up as needed, and make sure your network is good with the live cd
| Code: |
livecd ~ # ping www.google.com -c 3
livecd ~ # swapon /dev/sda2
livecd ~ # mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
livecd ~ # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
livecd ~ # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
livecd ~ # cd /
livecd / # mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
livecd / # mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
livecd / # mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
livecd / # cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/
livecd / # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
livecd / # source /etc/profile
livecd / # emerge dhcpcd
livecd / # exit
livecd / # umount -l /mnt/gentoo/dev{/shm,/pts,}
livecd / # umount -l /mnt/gentoo{/proc,/boot,/sys,}
livecd / # reboot
|
(Don't forget to remove the CD)
