Znurt's future Gentoo

[sour sinew]

simple = better

[visual marsh]

true igg

[sour sinew]

more useful command

[knotty spindle]

free -m?

[sour sinew]

you can't easily copy htop for example, or top

yes

and give output here

i'm showing you how to check, even if I know the value.

[knotty spindle]

total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 7918 1775 1185 73 4957 5770
Swap: 2047 0 2047

[sour sinew]

so, 8Gb, 8 threads

the rules is 2Gb = 1 threads, about, more or less, depending on some condition.

But, since you are running an OS

and still want to use it a bit

[visual marsh]

so j3 id say leaves him with 2gb free

[sour sinew]

you need to lower the value to -j3 for confort.

yeah.

2Gb free, one thread

should be ok for using the host while the system is occupy compiling

no crash = saving time

it's not always good to put to the may your hardware, specially old one.

but, -j3 allows you to work not too slow, and having an usable gentoo, or here, mint OS running.

so, browser, music, home works.

KDE will take some times, tho. It's ok.

[naive python]

Never use all threads for compild

[sour sinew]

I tried

https://tenor.com/view/slide-drift-crash-fail-gif-16909243

it's ok sometimes

regarding so many parameters :)

[visual marsh]

same did j16 the first time

[naive python]

Depends on the computer ig

[knotty spindle]

so i edit make.conf again and add license and makeopts?

[naive python]

I did j2 once

[sour sinew]

computer fly out of the window

[naive python]

And I crashed mid install

[sour sinew]

no licence

uh oh

sir

just MAKEOPTS

stop rushing.

or I'll rush you

so fast

oh boi

https://tenor.com/view/f-bi-raid-swat-gif-11500735

(that vase tho)

I'm so trained and patient with my kind.

That's at least that.

[visual marsh]

https://bpa.st/

[sour sinew]

anyway, -l5 is… yeah why not, you could not use it tho.

but it's ok I guess.

[knotty spindle]

wait what does -l do

[sour sinew]

loadaverage

AH

[visual marsh]

its the default value

[sour sinew]

SPOTTED YOU

[naive python]

Add video_cards

[sour sinew]

ARE YOU USING STUFF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

no laz please

please NO

believe me, no lol

[visual marsh]

no, l5 is the default in the file

i asssume he didnt touch it

[sour sinew]

sure ?

[visual marsh]

yep

[sour sinew]

in the website

not the file.

he added it

:)

[visual marsh]

ahh

truee

[sour sinew]

magic thinking

[visual marsh]

what i meant

[sour sinew]

yeah I think I understand

but, l force portage to NOT go above that

[visual marsh]

really dont like that its not explained btw

[sour sinew]

by stopping some threads I guess.

yeah, good point

very very good point, but, man and shit.

[visual marsh]

or not well

[sour sinew]

but yeah, I had the same thinking at my first reading.

have to note that.

[visual marsh]

• set the MAKEOPTS load-average value slightly above the number of threads returned by nproc, due to it being a damped value

[sour sinew]

adhd moment

noted !

tap himself

[knotty spindle]

RAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH.

[visual marsh]

casue the next line tells you to replace the j4 but not the l xd

[knotty spindle]

dont tap ME

[sour sinew]

you not himself

I'm.

[knotty spindle]

anyway what now? :3

[sour sinew]

zell

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Base

you'll copy your min'ts /etc/resolv.conf to gentoo

do the copy dns info, read the text too

it'll ensure internet works in the chroot.

[knotty spindle]

uhhhhh

what now

[visual marsh]

uhh, lets hope that works

xd

:)

[sour sinew]

next oart

read it

and apply command then

as root

so append sudo to each

and read every output, none means good

output = problem

stop at any problem and show us.

brb, coffee

(will never sleep)

[knotty spindle]

how

[visual marsh]

this

but sudo

[knotty spindle]

oh wait i already typed this

[visual marsh]

...

[sour sinew]

[visual marsh]

good

new thing

if you read a command

[sour sinew]

it's packaged with it's build, it's built-in, I'm the same lol.

[visual marsh]

try to figure out

[knotty spindle]

WAIT BUT I AM THE SUPERUSER NOW I USED SUDO SU

[visual marsh]

waht it does

[sour sinew]

if you are root no need to add sudo

[visual marsh]

yes

[sour sinew]

won't hurt tho.

but avoid if no need.

always avoid if no need :).

good rules of thumb.

[knotty spindle]

NOW WHAT

[sour sinew]

stop yelling

first

then, read next part, apply command

and stop if problem to show us.

[knotty spindle]

sorry i aceddentally opened caps

[sour sinew]

all the mount stuf.

you don't have the sweet command arch-chroot

because mint.

so, manual.

GET BACK TO WORK

https://tenor.com/view/get-to-work-work-simpsons-smithers-trendizisst-gif-15496843

[visual marsh]

...

[sour sinew]

dude

[knotty spindle]

am i fricked

[sour sinew]

what are you doing.

how ?

[visual marsh]

he finished the mount

[sour sinew]

you really need ritaline…

[visual marsh]

and you told him to keep going

[knotty spindle]

i already did this

[visual marsh]

he was long past this lol

[sour sinew]

wat

you were redoing the resolv stuff

I…

[knotty spindle]

so im dead

[sour sinew]

nvm

anyway

[visual marsh]

no

[knotty spindle]

oh

so its still good

[visual marsh]

your boot

[sour sinew]

why trying to mount sda 1 ?

[visual marsh]

is on sda 2

[sour sinew]

or sda 2 anyway

Are you in the chroot ?

[knotty spindle]

fuck

[sour sinew]

which step ?

[knotty spindle]

yea

[visual marsh]

ye

[sour sinew]

did I missed that

really

[visual marsh]

.

[sour sinew]

hucking screen

ugh

my bad, nvm

[visual marsh]

we at bootloader section now

where it gets interesting

[sour sinew]

ok ok

[knotty spindle]

what do i do

owo

[sour sinew]

but, that's the tricky part

[visual marsh]

yea cause we have grub already

👀

[sour sinew]

grub ?

oh

OH

[knotty spindle]

🫡

[sour sinew]

yes

[visual marsh]

mhm

[sour sinew]

mint… yes.

[visual marsh]

yes

[sour sinew]

esp it is right ?

[visual marsh]

uhhh

[knotty spindle]

does mint use grub but dosent use the menu?

[visual marsh]

we still on bios no?

[sour sinew]

yeah you already have grub

one moment

[knotty spindle]

so we can skip bootloader part?

[visual marsh]

no :)

casue you need to tell it where it finds gentoo

[sour sinew]

sda2 is the efi system partition

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1242020317560307722/1242553865186971678/rn_image_picker_lib_temp_ee1b067b-78df-4734-9dbb-ceba73e408c1.jpg?ex=664e41f6&is=664cf076&hm=fd429b55a124211200d1d5cf731755a683fd2c6374d4e5eddda091c4fd430ab3&

[naive python]

Wouldn't that be a grub-mkconfig

[sour sinew]

3 mint

4 where you are chrooting.

right now.

[visual marsh]

yes

[sour sinew]

execute

mkdir /efi

then, mount /dev/sda2 /efi

[knotty spindle]

done

now wha

[visual marsh]

not /boot/efi?

[sour sinew]

you scared me

uh

why ?

it says /efi

[visual marsh]

i always do

[sour sinew]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

me too lol

[visual marsh]

both valid

[knotty spindle]

afk

[sour sinew]

anyway, it's done, will work

ok

could roll my cig finally.

[visual marsh]

tho systemdboot like /boot/efi for some reason

[sour sinew]

always use grub meself.

so…

[visual marsh]

yea

i onlu do cause it maked dualbooting easier

grub decided my windows doesnt exist

[sour sinew]

I use it since it's reliable

since 2007 for me

[visual marsh]

yep

my laptop has it too

[naive python]

Wait I thought he had bios

[sour sinew]

mint done the tricks for us.

he's dual booting.

[visual marsh]

you can boot gpt on bios

[sour sinew]

from mint, chrooting

[visual marsh]

if you know how

[sour sinew]

yeah

it's a few extra command, worst.

I've even a topic with it inside, having same issue.

[knotty spindle]

im baaaaaaaack

waht now

[sour sinew]

brb 2m

well

now you have to install the gentoo ebuild repository

pretty hard…

emerge-webrsync

done.

:)

if networks is here ;D

we shall see.

[knotty spindle]

so it compiles?

[sour sinew]

no

downloads.

then, you'll choose mirror nex tto you, you can choose diffirent, even from other countries

but the closest, usually, means fastest.

[visual marsh]

i usually do 3 around me

one in my country and 2 neighboring ones

[sour sinew]

but regarding geopolitical issue with some countries, sometimes, I guess you use several countries

[visual marsh]

i do it if one goes down

[sour sinew]

yeah for example

I pick only france from 3 different sites, that's it.

[visual marsh]

casue most oft hem are universities here and i want to be safe

[knotty spindle]

icefish where you from

[sour sinew]

worst case I can't update.

from the sea

duh.

[visual marsh]

:)

[sour sinew]

north.

[visual marsh]

if you want to know

its really hard

there is a steam profile linked to my discord

[sour sinew]

have to kill ?

[visual marsh]

taht miight tell you

[knotty spindle]

• IMPORTANT: 18 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
• Use eselect news read to view new items.

[visual marsh]

:)

[sour sinew]

good view buddy

you discover the news from gentoo's dev

no need to read for now

old stuff, yxou could read for curiosity

but, you'll have to learn to pay attention to it from time to time

and read them

since, sometimis

if you don't, you'll break gentoo :)

or have problem.

from «no reasons»

[visual marsh]

basically read them before you woul do abigger update

or anything importnatn

[sour sinew]

^

[visual marsh]

kernel drivers usw

[knotty spindle]

oh

[sour sinew]

it's like local gentoo's newspaper :)

but for important news only.

it might not concern you, but it's wise to read it anyway, it's always pretty much quick. Or when it's a profile upgrade as we had a few months back

peoples were badly breaking their gentoo

I did not :D

[visual marsh]

hahahah

[sour sinew]

on several installation, because reading.

gcc broke

oopsy.

:)

[knotty spindle]

ok now what

[visual marsh]

i love gcc

[sour sinew]

go to the optionnal section below

pick up a mirror, a few

like 3, next to your location.

it's where you'll be downloading stuff from portage.

so, downloading archive of source code, before it gets compiled.

[visual marsh]

like how arch switched to gcc14 and all of a sudden i couldnt compile stuff anymore :)

[sour sinew]

it's going for gentoo tho, not ready yet.

[naive python]

I almost broke my gentoo on the profile upgrade

[sour sinew]

it was tricky for a very small and easy stuff

but tricky…

glibc in wrong order

broken gentoo it is

a mess to fix I heard.

https://tenor.com/view/linux-gentoo-computer-destroy-robot-gif-26277729

accurate gif.

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1168622-highlight-.html (:

[knotty spindle]

,my laptop finally will have limbs :3

[sour sinew]

yeah

to broke yours.

but sure.

[knotty spindle]

and if it gives it limbs outta nowhere for no reason ill hug ma laptop :3

cuz i luv it

[sour sinew]

before it kills you

but sure.

[knotty spindle]

also the compiling mirrors is done

[sour sinew]

Butlerian Jihad it is fuck yeah.

it's not compiling.

gentoo is not compile within compile within compile

lol

emerge --sync

to be a -1h update of your mirror

[knotty spindle]

which

[sour sinew]

the -webrsync was «the basic big download stuff»

3, next your location

you pickup with space IIRC

and then you valid

then you bring me my coffee downstair please

almost forgot it.

[knotty spindle]

i just used a turkey mirror

waht to do

[sour sinew]

https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=KDE&diff=next&oldid=1299769

shit

NO

damn paste

#1242020317560307722 message

that.

[knotty spindle]

now what

i did it btw\

[sour sinew]

time to choose profile

eselect profile list

eselect profile set number

you need amd64, openrc, desktop, plasma

then, once it's set

type eselect profile show, and output here please.

[knotty spindle]

[27] default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/plasma (stable)

this?

do i choose this

[sour sinew]

sounds good, openrc is present when non-writed

while systemd is writed.

confusing but eh…

[knotty spindle]

so i can choose this

ok

[sour sinew]

yes

then, use set as an option

eselect profile set 27

then, eselect profile show will… show you the… selected profile :)

[knotty spindle]

already did

[sour sinew]

now, configuring the use variable

that is the most fun IMHO

[knotty spindle]

Current /etc/portage/make.profile symlink:
default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/plasma

[sour sinew]

but the tricky part when you THINK you need stuff that is not needed since already in your profile.

See, your 27's profile is already a set of use flag.

Please

emerge --ask wgetpaste

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

then, once it's compiled ( :) )

wgetpaste -c "emerge --info"

[knotty spindle]

https://bpa.st/GB7Q

[sour sinew]

ok

this command returns yours info aabout how emerge is sets, and how it'll compile stuff

[knotty spindle]

okay now what

[sour sinew]

like 75 is your already ready sets of USE flag, so, adding them in your make.conf is redondant

and confusing.

it's already sets for a desktop, plasma in this case, and not a lot is needed.

You use wifi right ?

Also, don't touch at SOME flag in there, as wayland, even if using xorg

[knotty spindle]

yea but sometime i use ethernet if its too slow

[sour sinew]

plasma needs some wayland stuff.

ok

so it needs to have wifi support.

that'll come in time.

one moment.

less /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/use.desc

This will shows you a list of use flag to add, or remove

we will take a look

open a file text editor on mint, and save it from time to time while we add or remove stuff form it

wasting the list is frustrating.

[knotty spindle]

how to ope this on the text editor

[sour sinew]

run the command in the chroot

well, from mint

into mint, your default text editor

no matter what it is

you could even write it on paper… just bothering to copy then :)

Golden rule here: As said, the less you do, the best it is, regarding the easy-profile you have, desktop / plasma, almost nothing is needed, but it's interesting nonetheless to properly check it suits your needs.

[knotty spindle]

how do i copy it all

[sour sinew]

you don't

we will review each of them

line after line

it'll be quick.

The goal, not adding on the list you are doing something already in your paste, line 75

example, X: already here !

no need to add, always.

or in some very rare case, maybe.

anyway.

are you disabled (hears, eyes) ?

[knotty spindle]

no

[sour sinew]

do you need zoom ? text-speech ?

[knotty spindle]

owo

wait im not disabled

[sour sinew]

ok, accessibility is probably not required, you can make a first line with -accessibility

minus IS important

[knotty spindle]

also

[sour sinew]

it says = do not add this flag in all my compilation, by default.

[knotty spindle]

how do i exit less

[sour sinew]

non eed

kee pit

you goes up and down with arrow keys

or mouse

[naive python]

not in install

[sour sinew]

use the mint text editor

@naive python why not ? It's already there then.

[naive python]

guys dont set ur profile in the chroot

[sour sinew]

you could…

it's ok

it's from mint

[naive python]

because then you are stuck on the usb for a century compiling

[sour sinew]

he can use his system.

no usb

[knotty spindle]

fuck i forgot

[sour sinew]

no no

[naive python]

oh

[sour sinew]

it's ok

[naive python]

hes not in a livecd

then its ok

[sour sinew]

:)

[knotty spindle]

phew

[sour sinew]

add -apache2

[naive python]

yea then it might be good to do it in livecd

not livecd

i meant mint

[sour sinew]

add bash-completion, no minus

[knotty spindle]

how

[sour sinew]

in your list

two lines

one for minus, one for non-minus use flag

like this:

[knotty spindle]

dawg

i dont have the text editor open

[sour sinew]

-accessibility -apache2
bash-completion

and so on

then we will append these lines together for the use variable.

it's just to not mix things up

if you follow me, in 10 min it's done, max

it's important, but can be more or less skipped

but allows you to nicely remove some unwanted stuff.

No disability ? Why having tools for ?

it's for disabled users :).

[knotty spindle]

how to even like

idk

edit the file!?

[sour sinew]

you are confused.

you have a terminal, chrooting gentoo, ok ?

inside, there is the less command running, you read it to pick up your use flag

[knotty spindle]

alr

[sour sinew]

aside, on MINT

you open a text editor, no matther what

just a text editor

and start the list I showed you above, first line for removed flag, second for added flag.

[knotty spindle]

how do i opn the text editor to this file evne

lol

[sour sinew]

what lol

[knotty spindle]

do i use nano

[sour sinew]

no

open a text editor on mint

gui

[visual marsh]

open your menu

[sour sinew]

graphical

[visual marsh]

on mint

[sour sinew]

please my mind is in pain :D

[visual marsh]

windows key

and search editor

or note

[knotty spindle]

im on the eitor

what now

[visual marsh]

good job

[sour sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/sweating-hot-sweat-sweaty-nervous-gif-21026685

phew :D

copy the list I started

#1242020317560307722 message

[knotty spindle]

copied

[sour sinew]

so, the less the best.

[knotty spindle]

what now

[sour sinew]

do you have bluetooth and attend to use it ?

[knotty spindle]

no

[sour sinew]

already here. We can removes it.

if so, add first line -bluetooth.

[knotty spindle]

-bluetooth
-accessibility
-apache2
bash-completion

[sour sinew]

adding css to read encrypted dvds could be nice, do you have a cd readers ?

[knotty spindle]

no

wait

my laptop has a CD reader builtin

[sour sinew]

dvd reader ?

[knotty spindle]

cd disk

yuh

[sour sinew]

dvd or dvd+rw ?

[knotty spindle]

just dvd

[sour sinew]

ok, add css

if one day…

do you want to use emacs, vim ?

[visual marsh]

took me a solid minute to figure out what CSS had to do with dvds xd

[sour sinew]

me too first time

[knotty spindle]

i use nano but i dont mind giving emcas a try

[sour sinew]

«i could remove css…?!»

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

you could add emacs, if you wanna, or vim-completion

for vim :)

[knotty spindle]

okay wrote emacs

[sour sinew]

always wonder if ffmpeg is needed…

[visual marsh]

yus

I wouls

[sour sinew]

it's not here in his profile

[knotty spindle]

no i need ffmeg

[visual marsh]

add

[sour sinew]

ok

add it

then

[knotty spindle]

what now

[sour sinew]

I'm a bit paranoid and removes always -geolocation, as -geoip

I never, use, that

so…

[knotty spindle]

do i remove both

[sour sinew]

you could

your choice

not mine :)

yours machine

[naive python]

do you have dracut useflag?

[knotty spindle]

im keepin em

[sour sinew]

I'm also wondering, always, for gstreamers.

[naive python]

oh yes

[sour sinew]

I add it in case… but…

[naive python]

always gstreamer

[sour sinew]

well, let's add it then

you can add -gtk-doc as -handbook, none are useful i think.

add hddtemp as well

[naive python]

make sure dracut useflag is enabled

[sour sinew]

to probe the temperature.

[naive python]

sensors flag might be nice too

[sour sinew]

don't it comes later ?

[knotty spindle]

-accessibility
-apache2
bash-completion
css
emacs
ffmpeg
geolocation
geoip
-gtk-doc
-handbook

[naive python]

add dracut

[visual marsh]

the handbook tells you that

...

lazer

later

[sour sinew]

so no dracut lol

[naive python]

it tells u to enable it per package

u might want to do it global

[visual marsh]

true

I guess

[naive python]

just on this one package

[sour sinew]

wait

it tells you to enable per package but you do it globaly ?

[knotty spindle]

is dracut important/necessary

[sour sinew]

yes, it is.

but wait.

[naive python]

i do it globally

wiki says just for installkernel

[sour sinew]

meself@Mephistopheles ~ $ emerge --info | grep dracut
meself@Mephistopheles ~ $

[visual marsh]

yup

[sour sinew]

so, follow wikis then ?

meself@Mephistopheles ~ $ grep -rin "dracut" /etc/portage/
/etc/portage/package.use/sys-kernel/installkernel:1:sys-kernel/installkernel dracut grub systemd
meself@Mephistopheles ~ $

[knotty spindle]

what do i do

[sour sinew]

where it belongs ?

[knotty spindle]

i need dracut

[sour sinew]

not now

not here

later.

[knotty spindle]

-accessibility
-apache2
bash-completion
css
emacs
ffmpeg
geolocation
geoip
-gtk-doc
-handbook

[sour sinew]

so

[knotty spindle]

the thingy so far

[sour sinew]

add hddtemp

to proble temperature

probe*

[naive python]

some other packages have a dracut useflag

[knotty spindle]

next?

[naive python]

so i always enable it

[sour sinew]

we are almost done with that step

add lm-sensors as well

[knotty spindle]

now what

[sour sinew]

matrostka for .mkv file is nice i guess.

matroska*

mistyped it

[knotty spindle]

knew it that .mkv is russian

[sour sinew]

what's your GPU already ?

[knotty spindle]

I KNEW IT

[sour sinew]

lol

[knotty spindle]

LET ME CHECK

[sour sinew]

as nginx :P

open source and libre has no frontier or politics

[knotty spindle]

gpu is

[sour sinew]

except north korea lol.

[knotty spindle]

AMD ATI Radeon HD 6730M/6770M/7690M XT

[sour sinew]

no.

please don't lie.

:D

open a terminal

and type

sudo lspci | grep VGA

[sour sinew]

(one of the first command I learsn, good old time)

shitty output

sudo lspci | grep VGA

the real one

not some unknown motd.

[knotty spindle]

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Whistler [Radeon HD 6730M/6770M/7690M XT]

[sour sinew]

fuck, at least confirmed

[visual marsh]

owo

[sour sinew]

what that shit lol

[visual marsh]

it's an old and card

[sour sinew]

the pc don't know

«maybe one of these………»

[visual marsh]

they are basically the same I assume

[sour sinew]

probably better to go nouveau I think, anyway it's old.

[visual marsh]

...

[sour sinew]

so, no nvenc lol.

don't add - or anything.

[visual marsh]

it's amd

[sour sinew]

just ignore it.

oh

yeah

i forgot amd

it's dead now.

[visual marsh]

so no driver

[sour sinew]

oh

wait

shit.

[visual marsh]

we don't need one

if it's an AMD card lol

[sour sinew]

i ignore this case

anyway

will see later.

[visual marsh]

yea

[knotty spindle]

what now

[sour sinew]

checking atm

do you have a scanner at home ?

or wish to be able to use

[knotty spindle]

nO

[sour sinew]

ok

[knotty spindle]

nUH Uh

[sour sinew]

uh

[visual marsh]

basically we do video card Radeon and everything should be good according to wiki

[sour sinew]

in doubt here

about uefi flag…

one moment

shit forums slow

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

i do not want to start the laptop

lazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

but it would be necessary, since it's the same case.

well…

it's down I guess.

give me a few minutes then…

[visual marsh]

lol

[sour sinew]

so many shits on it

what's the ip ugh

[visual marsh]

hm?

[sour sinew]

one moment

ok no need to use that flag.

Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1 2048 6143 4096 2M BIOS boot
/dev/sda2 6144 2103295 2097152 1G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda3 2103296 500117503 498014208 237.5G Linux filesystem

sda2 being my efi IIRC

as him

more or less.

[visual marsh]

ye

[sour sinew]

@knotty spindle

big question

an important one, not joking.

[knotty spindle]

?

[sour sinew]

are you using chrome or any based browser on webkit ?

What's your browser ?

[knotty spindle]

no i only use firef

firefox

[sour sinew]

good BOI

you'll like it

since, the worst package of all

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

is anything using webkit

[knotty spindle]

infact i am using firefox rn

[sour sinew]

so, removes that siht from kde

-webkit

also, -webengine IIRC somewhere else, but not here I think.

webkit is fucking HUGE to compile it's so painful.

could takes more than a day on -j4 and your laptop

or at least 12 hours

while firefox, still being big, is more ok

also, add wifi @knotty spindle as well.

[knotty spindle]

now wha

[sour sinew]

show me the list.

[knotty spindle]

that took 27 mins

-accessibility
-apache2
bash-completion
css
emacs
ffmpeg
geolocation
geoip
-gtk-doc
-handbook
hddtemp
matrostka
-webkit
-webengine
wifi

[sour sinew]

will rip your head imma tellin yah

looks good to me,

so

put it into a single line

and add it for USE= variable in make.conf please, and save.

them, wgetpaste -c "emerge --info"

q to quit less btw.

[knotty spindle]

-accessibility -apache2 bash-completion css emacs ffmpeg geolocation geoip -gtk-doc -handbook hddtemp matrostka -webkit -webengine wifi

[sour sinew]

hm, you forgot gstreamer

add it, no minus.

so, save it, then wgetpaste -c "emerge --info" before we continue

[knotty spindle]

https://bpa.st/22IQ

[sour sinew]

"/etc/portage/make.conf", line 19: No closing quotation

i let you found out this one

[knotty spindle]

https://bpa.st/LUAA

nrpy

@sour sinew \

COME

RAWR

MEOW

MEOW

[sour sinew]

man

read the error please

«line 19, no closing quotation»

if it start with a quotation

[visual marsh]

(its in line 11 tho)

[sour sinew]

are you not sleeping ?

:P

[visual marsh]

not yet

am the extra pair if eyes

[knotty spindle]

https://bpa.st/RRQQ

[sour sinew]

looks good

ok

[knotty spindle]

now what

[sour sinew]

we will now ask emerge to insrtall with your cpu optimization, per se

emerge --ask --oneshot app-portage/cpuid2cpuflags

install this package.

then execute, for curiosity: cpuid2cpuflags

it's the flags your CPU is using, knows about

once you have checked it for pleasure

[knotty spindle]

CPU_FLAGS_X86: aes avx mmx mmxext pclmul popcnt sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 ssse3

[sour sinew]

||echo "*/* $(cpuid2cpuflags)" > /etc/portage/package.use/00cpu-flags||

this command will add it to a file

and you'll never have to think about it.

emerge will use it.

now… tricky, you GPU is kind of weird.

[knotty spindle]

uhoh

[sour sinew]

fuck it set VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu radeonsi"

we will see :D

[visual marsh]

...

read

[sour sinew]

worst case no gui, it's fixable.

[visual marsh]

waht i sent u

no amdgpu

its way to old

basically we do video card Radeon and everything should be good according to wiki(

ok

[visual marsh]

radeon

[sour sinew]

my bad SIR

[visual marsh]

no amd

:)

[sour sinew]

so radeonsi

?

[visual marsh]

yu

we hope

[sour sinew]

VIDEO_CARDS="radeonsi"

then.

don't ... me again or…

i will be mad !

[visual marsh]

uhhh

[sour sinew]

[visual marsh]

one sec

maybe

radeon r600

this

[sour sinew]

uh

[visual marsh]

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon#Feature_support

:3

[sour sinew]

oh, juniper ?

[knotty spindle]

DO I PUT VIDEO_CARDS="radeonsi"

OR NOT

TELL ME

OMG

[visual marsh]

no

put

radeon r600

[sour sinew]

chill ffs

follow the fish.

I'm not good to understand your weird GPU

[visual marsh]

its not weird

jsut old

[knotty spindle]

VIDEO_CARDS="radeon r600"

[sour sinew]

🤷‍♀️ kind of

[visual marsh]

there you go

:)

[sour sinew]

well

big stuff coming

save that

then

[knotty spindle]

saved

anywya

what now

[sour sinew]

wgetpaste -c "emerge --pretend --deep --changed-use @world"

it'll simulate the upgrade

and shows us what it's pulled

before anything :)

--pretend == … pretend.

[knotty spindle]

https://bpa.st/W3MA

[sour sinew]

looks fine to me, btw not everything you'll need for kde is pulled here, but that's the basic of the profile + our addition - minus our removal

now

emerge --ask--deep --changed-use @world

validate, then it'll compile maybe for a while

if it crash, tell us, it's not that bad, but it should not ;)

-j3 it is

it's more than fine, a bit slower, more comfy

btw

if the computer stop working (no A/C) for example

be aware, it's ok

emerge has an option to get back where it was, minus the currently compiling package, it has to restart this one.

[knotty spindle]

wdym no A/C

[sour sinew]

so, if it fails because it has been shutting down

[visual marsh]

its a laptop we have a grace peroid

[sour sinew]

you can use : emerge --resume

so, don't panic.

[visual marsh]

just dont close the lid

[sour sinew]

for example

disable saving power hibernation and stuff

btw if it goes suspend

it's nicely keeping going once it's awake

pretty neat

so… no worries if it crash / get turned down

it's not broke.

[knotty spindle]

ok now what

[sour sinew]

it's done ?

sus

oh shit.

…

i'm stupid

[knotty spindle]

so the installation is complete?

[sour sinew]

that's my bad, probably nothing.

i was on the wrong page

well, it's ok

i'm tired

it's 1:22 am

ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE @BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE"

add this to make.conf

[knotty spindle]

its 1:22 AM for me

[sour sinew]

@visual marsh i oopsy lol

was on amd page

[visual marsh]

hmm

[sour sinew]

not the handbook

but it's fine

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

i should sleep soon

[visual marsh]

same

[sour sinew]

emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --newuse @world

Was the next command.

lol

[visual marsh]

let it run

[sour sinew]

once it's added (licence), execute it

[visual marsh]

over night

xddd

[sour sinew]

yeah

so tired uh.

[naive python]

oh wow

oops wrong channel

[sour sinew]

i call cyber police

you'll get in cyber jail son

[knotty spindle]

[sour sinew]

well, no worries or my mistake, but it's a proof it's a time to take a break

and sleep

at this point, the computer could even get shuts, the installation would be going tomorrow

but if it compile, let it run if possible

otherwise… suspend mint

it'll get back to it by itself once it's awaken @knotty spindle

and no, it's not over

be patient, it's progressing

more faster than you think

alone it took me a week first time

;)

[knotty spindle]

so if it is finished compiling what do i do

[sour sinew]

sleeping

i guess.

i will :D

so, have a good night, rest, learn patience, avoid stuff under the bed

https://tenor.com/view/sly-gone-away-gif-10992840

[knotty spindle]

goodnight

fan is being loud

[knotty spindle]

oh no

[knotty spindle]

https://bpa.st/5RBA

[naive python]

Unsupported locale setting rs2tman

Look on gentoo bugzilla

What locales do u have

Did u locale-gen

[knotty spindle]

im gonna set up libdrm later

[naive python]

Is it a dependency

Other programs might not build without it

[knotty spindle]

idk

[naive python]

Fix the problem

Or change the ebuild

It's most likely a dependency

[stiff delta]

locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

Fix your locale.

[sour sinew]

bring brand new locales

[sour sinew]

oh yes

[sour sinew]

as said, it took a week because I was taking my time.

thinking ahead.

result: Fully succesful install

[sour sinew]

could still be a little bit more clear, as a not or tips maybe.

will discuss this.

reported on #[email protected].

will see.

[visual marsh]

[sour sinew]

I guess it won't be changed, but still asking if it could be better and more obvious.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[visual marsh]

ye

ye

just got home too

lets see if i learned enough

[foggy nest]

I got my Gentoo installed late night

[visual marsh]

to install it on my laptop :3

[sour sinew]

we are still on Znurt's shit

[foggy nest]

If you need help we're here

[foggy nest]

How's it going

[visual marsh]

that's what im betting on

I'll do it over ssh from my main pc so it should be easier

[sour sinew]

stopped yesterday evening, or very soon this morning, while I was pushing wrong command

«time to sleep»

[foggy nest]

lol

Why does my libre office like like it's from 1999

[sour sinew]

gtk theme issue.

ig

[foggy nest]

Possibly

I did -gtk in make.conf

[knotty spindle]

oh

fuck i pinged

annyway im gonna fix it later

[sour sinew]

[visual marsh]

yea

[sour sinew]

Znurt's dead.

he was caught at the middle of the night, compiling.

(I guess)

my mother won't loved that, happened

what a blow I got these times.

[visual marsh]

[foggy nest]

lol

my phone bootlooping

ssads

[visual marsh]

hahaha

i finally put a pic off my install into the showcases xd

[knotty spindle]

no

[knotty spindle]

mf it was done

i had to pause the installation cuz i was severely sleepy

and a nap

so it was longer

[knotty spindle]

can someone talk here

[sour sinew]

no

[knotty spindle]

oookay

[sour sinew]

what do you need ?

[knotty spindle]

i installed linux firmware and microdot whatever its called thing

and thing is i need libdrm but the locale

[visual marsh]

edit /etc/locale.gen

add your locale

and do lcoale-gen

then eselect locale list

and eselect locale set

[knotty spindle]

how do i just

resume my gentoo installation

[sour sinew]

as said, re-chroot it

to get to the point where you are into the gentoo, unfinished.

[sour sinew]

did you ?

[knotty spindle]

was too burntout to continue

i get burntout alot

[sour sinew]

know that shit

there is all the time to do so

that's what happen when you get to much exalted too :P

[knotty spindle]

i just love gento

but

i got too excited that i segfaulted and get burntout
