I like your work, conrad. So i told Ubuntu people to compare their next distro, the "Gutsy Gibbon", to your work.

Perhaps they can make their stuff a little more faster

I'm planning on making a return to Gentoo Linux with my soon-to-have-brand-new-T60 laptop. I've had good experience with the past conrad installations so I propably will try this out but I have a question about the new ext4dev filesystem. Does it support resizing, shrinking in LVM? I tend to use LVM so my partitions only use the needed space.

Also I have 2GB of RAM on my laptop so I hve atleast 1GB of spare to use. Should I mount some partition straight to RAM to increase speed?

Gotta think do I want to encrypt my hard drive while I'm at it

just go ahead

Code: Select all

mount -t tmpfs tmpfs -o size=1950000000 /var/tmp/portage

this will speed up the emerges ...

Ubuntu will never make a release with anything remotely close to the optimizations in this guide, for one NONE of the ldflags are supported mainstream and the only distribution using hashstyle is Fedora Core. Not many people use Ubuntu for speed or bleeding edge which is what this guide is aiming for. The main thing Ubuntu needs is a decent kernel, reiser4 is out of the question and so are tweaked CFLAGS.

Thats mainly a kernel issue

[jt_]

I guess I'll ask one more time: Has anyone done any proper benchmarking? Are there any real runtime gains?

I've played with compile flags, kernel stuff, and general ricing, and to be honest, I'm skeptical of any benifits over standard flags.

[12345moon12345]

Hi,
I've got a gentoo-kde based system with over 400 packages. There's only one package that does'nt like --as-needed: openoffice
all others compile and works great (noticably faster !!)

just thougt I'd share my 2 cents of experience

happy gentooing

[kernelOfTruth]

Thats mainly a kernel issue

you're right, but if it's possible to correct that via patchsets such as cheater's or vipernicus' (via SD scheduler, adaptive readahead ... and so on)
ubuntu should do it too, isn't it supposed to be a distribution for the masses?

that's one of 2 reasons keeping me away from it

1.) kernel-modules support with custom kernels doesn't work / is nearly impossible to do in short time without researching with google
2.) interactivity / responsiveness sucks big time

sorry for this kind of expression but it's simply true ...

but now back to topic, cheater:
when can we count on next no-sources release ?

[wrc1944]

After step 8.9 (emerge -e world), I woke up this morning and did the etc-update, and tried to emerge udept, and found my internet was lost. Other boxes today in the house are on, and AFAIK never went off, so I know it's not the actual connection, but the box I'm installing on, net-setup does not seem to work now, on 0,1,2, or what I had, eth3. Do I need to remerge some net or other related packages? /etc/resolv.conf seems OK- my cable company cox.net is still there with search, with the nameserver addresses.
ifconfig shows eth3 has an inet6 address- I'm not sure if it used to be IPV4- can't recall. Did this change with -e world?

Also, I've just discovered I have no /usr/local/portage/overlays or conrad directories. I removed the overlays tarball as instructed in the guide, so I can't reinstall, as I can't connect and download again.

I've had trouble with the make.conf file not working. Compiler couldn't create executables. Finally got that fixed, and got to step 8.9 OK, or so I thought.

I think the last etc-update I just did after -e world dropped the connection somehow, but I can't seem to fix it, even in a different terminal.

I read this entire thread, and sort of assumed all the problems mentioned had been addressed and the guide, and updated, so I went ahead. Fdisk and cfdisk wouldn't recognize the drives until I realized I had to use sda instead of hda on my ide drive.

Any thoughts on what I should do? Is the last 36 hours just wasted, and I need to start over, or can I reboot, try to connect again, mount and chroot again and pickup at the kernel step 9.1?

What about the apparently missing conrad overlays? Reinstall it after I get a connection back up? If they really aren't there (ls -a shows they aren't), how did I get to and complete step 8.9?

[MrBlond83]

Thanks for the great guide! I've been wanting to change from Reiser4 to ext4 for some time now, and since my previous installation was my first gentoo installation, it got a bit messy in there as well. So when I saw your guide I just backed up my important data and started fresh, on ext4.

I do have one problem, which isn't quite a problem with your installation or anything, but I was wondering if there is any solution to it.

After building kde, when I run an "emerge -NavDu world", I get:

Code: Select all

Calculating world dependencies -
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

('installed', '/', 'sys-libs/com_err-1.39', 'nomerge') pulled in by
  ('installed', '/', 'sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.39-r1', 'nomerge')

('ebuild', '/', 'sys-libs/com_err-1.40_pre20070411', 'merge') pulled in by
  ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-libs/ss-1.40_pre20070411', 'merge')
  ('installed', '/', 'app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.5.2-r2', 'nomerge')

When I tried unmasking e2fsprogs-1.40_pre20070411, I ended up with an unbootable system. I assume this is because ext4 patch is not applied to that version. Is there any way to solve this conflict? I assume I need a e2fsprogs-1.40_pre20070411 that is patched with ext4?

[buddabrod]

Just mask >com_err-1.39 and >ss1.39, too.

[wrc1944]

Update on my post above:

OK- I just rebooted with the live cd, and mounted/chrooted back into my partial install, and net-setup eth3 worked again, so I picked up the install at step 9.1.

Finshed up fine, rebooted, and had to edit my grub kernel line (stupid error I made), but then it worked fine. My fresh install of Windows XP (ntfs) on hda1 boots fine too. I'm currently about halfway into emerging kde (after I got Xorg done), and have had no more problems. All in all, this has gone pretty well except for the above post stuff, which turned out to be a very minor problem.

I'm experienced with all the nesl247 emission, etc. advanced installs (currently run them on all my other gentoo boxes), as well as countless regular Gentoo installs, so it wasn't a big deal for me. There's a few minor aspects about the guide that might cause trouble for some, but I would say it's an overall great job, and a really good way to get an advanced gentoo installation up.

I enjoyed the experience. My compliments!

[R.B.Riddick]

Hi, I've got a really serious problem with my conrad install. Java doesn't work! Or at least it doesn't work embedded in browsers. I've tried sun-1.6 and 1.5 and in firefox konqueror and opera. No luck! java-nsplugin is set with eselect and java-vm too. Anyone else sharing this problem?

+ I can't get kaffeine or xine to play video url's from apple. There was one that worked but everything else just don't! anyone got a solution for this. Right now I've unmerged kaffeine and merged kmplayer which work using mplayer backend but not xine backend!

PLEASE help!

[wrc1944]

Had to comment these out in /etc/portage/package.use/conrad, in order to merge kdebase-startkde. Apparently, the new kdelibs doesn't support this flag, or so the error message said. Still having problems with kdehotkeys.
# KDE
kde-base/kicker pertty kickoff
kde-base/kdelibs pertty
kde-base/kdesktop pertty
kde-base/kcontrol pertty

Anyway, used the 2.6.21-viper1 kernel, got my kde all setup like I like it, installed openoffice, etc., and on my first -uD world, I get this:

Code: Select all

conrad-v4 wrc # emerge -upD world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies /
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been

('installed', '/', 'sys-libs/com_err-1.39', 'nomerge') pulled in by

  ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-libs/ss-1.40_pre20070411', 'merge')
  ('installed', '/', 'app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.5.2-r2', 'nomerge')

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

EDIT: Just saw the post above with the same problem- I'll try the masking that was suggested.
OK- masking those two packages worked. kdehotkeys still fails. Thanks much, buddabrod

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, a few mostly trivial comments about the install guide:
At step 3.4, hdparm wouldn't recognize an ide drive, as hdx or sdx. I assume this is a new libata problem?

At step 4.1, maybe add a reminder to use sdx instead of hdx for ide hard disks, as fdisk or cfdisk fail to recognize the ide drives as hdx as is normal, due to the new libata as I understand it.

Shouldn't step 4.4 come before 4.3, as running e2fsck and tune2fs on a mounted partion isn't recommended and might cause problems, and produces a big warning message.

Step 6.4 (Optional) should be updated, as 2007.0 is now released.

Step 7.1. I had problems with the =${ARCH} ${CPUFLAGS} ${COREFLAGS}" and PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${CONRAD_OVERLAY} ${PORTAGE_OVERLAY}" not working, and had to revert to the normal format. Still don't know why- this should certainly work IMO. Maybe I made a typo I simply can't see-nyone else experience this?

Step 9.2 Under Processor type and features, Symmetric multi-processing support is not needed unless you have a multi-core cpu, or a multiple cpu motherboard. Maybe point this out in the interest of a cleaner kernel.

I had to remove prelink , cause after evry unemerge of software i had to go to /usr/bin and delete binaries of this unemerged program manualy ., emerge -C was reporting !md5 on binaries and leaving binary file in /usr/bin , that was so annoying ... . Anybody is with me in that or that's only my experience with prelink ?

It's one of the coreflags that's causing that on my system. I just commented them all out and it compiled fine. I'll try to drill down and see which specific one is breaking it and edit this post to inculde the info.

EDIT: It's the -freorder-blocks-and-partition, that's breaking it for me. I just removed it, compiled through gmp, ctrl-c, set the flag back and emerge --resume

I remember reading a while back that there is a way in gentoo to set specific compiler flags per package..or did i just imagine that?

Thanks for your answer, I will try your solution. For now I just skipped recompilation of that package.
I must say this Gentoo (after being with binary distributions for a while ) is causing lot of troubles. For example, my sis900 ethernet card causes this viper kernel to panic. Next problem is, I cannot run X because of the error: "could not open default font "fixed"". And I cannot compile media-libs/jpeg package, which is required by qt (I had to alter the ebuild to make qt use qt-libmng and qt-libjpeg).
EDIT: And last, but not least, all my consoles starts with numlock turned on. It is very annoying, because it is a laptop keybord, which hasn't separate numpad.

[Jonasx]

I must say this Gentoo (after being with binary distributions for a while ) is causing lot of troubles.

Your problems more than likely stems from use masked packages and bleeding edge stuff...(they are masked for a reason ), rather than gentoo itself. If you do want a stable system use the the handbook install method. If you enjoy spending your weekends tweaking, fixing and rigging this is the right forum for you .

Stability is not my priority. And if I wouldn't want "bleeding edge stuff", I would use OpenSUSE or other Ubuntu.

Sorry, to bother you. I had broken link to make.profile; after repairing it, libstdc++ from gcc-3.3.6 compiles without that error.
EDIT2: Some other problem just came up during emerge -e world:

Can anybody help?

Binutils-2.17.50.0.16 caused this issue for me.
Masking and reverting to .15 allowed gmp to compile even with the freorder-blocks-and-partition flag.

thanks for that hint, this solved other segmentation faults for me, too
