i had a dream i installed gentoo last night.
new cloveros iso with 4.14.8 kernel cloveros.ga
The wiki seems to suggest that steam requires udev, is there any way to get it to work with eudev?
Steam works with eudev here
>install gentoo
What are some things to do after a fresh installation?
What's the best way to use Firefox nightly without recompiling the whole thing everyday?
A 4.12 kernel causes my wine to misbehave in muh vidya, moving the mouse causes huge flicker and slowdowns. A wild guess would be that something eats a lot of CPU time at every mouse interrupt. Anyone encountered this type of thing (hopefully easier to reproduce so we can do some kernel git bisect)?
Good to know, cheers
Is it normal to have so many dependencies?
If I wanna install pandoc I have to install like ~105 packages of heskell stuff.
Am I missing something or is it requiring only what is necessary?
non-C programs have their own dependencies yeah
Is there anything that prevents emerge --sync from being MITM ?
Google it
trying out full encryption meme
># cyptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 name
enter pass phrase and receive this
>device-mapper: remove ioctl on temporary-cryptsetup-14723 failed: Device or resource busy
what do
Downloading the official release?
but what stops emerge --sync from downloading manifests for compromised files? maybe emerge --sync downloads manifests from a baddie
Don't I have to install dependencies and stuff?
eudev is a drop-in replacement for udev
I get that the manifests prevent files downloaded from mirrors from being tampered with, and ensures they match the portage tree. But what ensures we are getting a good portage tree?
Using emerge-webrsync gives you a gpg signature
Installing gentoo with two SSDs
After making file systems and activating swap, I need to mount the root partition
Do I need to mount the partition on the secoundary SSD? How so?
Root partition is handled in grub.cfg, for everything else there's /etc/fstab
During the install it really depends on what type of layout you went with
bios/boot/lvm partitions on SSD1
lvm partition on SSD2
swap and root logical volumes in lvm(ssd1)
data logical volume in lvm(ssd2)
pick a ssd to put root on and mount it
Where did you put the binaries? Do auto updates works?
You are fine with just root, bios and boot mounted then
install void, life is to short too compile
ignore this part

that is the gayest shit i've ever seen
Well it's been 2 weeks of tinkering and Gentoo will not install on my laptop.
>Using a server OS as a desktop
I got it to work once before windows ate it. I give up.
what if you turned your laptop into a server and then installed gentoo on it
its not rocket appliances user. even if you can't configure your kernel yourself, just
make localyesconfig && make && make modules_install
I installed it on my memepad without issue and even customized the kernel, and even had it working on this one. I forgot to enable a driver, so I enabled it and recompiled, but everything is fucked now, and yes I reconfigured grub. Just because I can doesn't mean I should, Gentoo a shit.
>gentoo a shit
I run it on all my servers, production and dev. you just need to have patience to learn what to and not to do
Can't see any reason it wouldn't work unless there's some sort of gentoo-specific quirk.
