This looks more interesting than Debian one. I will give this a try tonight.

sala, which one do you prefer?

sala · 2006-09-12 08:55:03

Definetly Gentoo, but only if you have patience to wait, since emergeing new packages can be extremely slow. Still most important, gentoo chroot takes little less ram memory than Debian

qn1234 · 2006-09-12 18:27:55

I got mine up running with Gentoo last night. Thanks for your flawless instructions. I did take a while, but I got most of everything I needed. I will get the "screen" utility so I can login and detach at will.

Screen is mess. You will get "socket: Address family not supported by protocol." error. I think it is because of kernel and atm I dont know how to fix this without compilling new kernel.

qn1234 · 2006-09-13 23:45:37

emerge compilled screen, but I get an "Sorry, could not find a PTY" [screen is terminating] while there pty entries in /dev.

The command df doesn't work for me. I get error msg "cannot read table of mounted filesystems: No such file or directory." I suspect it reads /proc/mounts which has /dev/proc as an entry and it's not in /dev in the chroot setup.

sala · 2006-09-14 08:11:19

Use these lines to chroot, this makes df work. For /dev/pty problem I don't have fix for now, I look into it as soon as I can

Code:

mount -t proc none /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo/proc
chroot /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo /bin/bash

I don't know if this is the problem for screen, but when I compiled the telnetd for busybox, I had to set an option to use the old 'BSD' style ptys rather than the newer, UNIX98 ptys, since the kernel is configured to use the BSD ptys. If screen tries to access /dev/ptmx, then it expects UNIX98 ptys.

mchinand · 2006-09-15 00:42:11

After taking a quick look at the latest version of screen (4.02) it seems to be able to handle oldstyle BSD ptys. Maybe more ptys need to be created? Only 10 pty and tty devices are created by the makedevs commands I originally used for telnetd whereas there can be 256 of each. See /usr/src/Documentation/devices.txt for the device naming of the ptys. I haven't yet tried using Gentoo or Debian yet but this really looks interesting.

sala · 2006-09-15 08:15:15

Code:

mount -t proc none /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo/proc
chroot /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo /bin/bash

These are for df, ifconfig and other tools that uses /proc, not for screen
If you get around screen /dev/pty problem, then you probably run into next error like "socket: Address family not supported by protocol."

sala · 2006-09-16 14:32:34

Next step with gentoo chrooting would be to get distcc working, so we could use other pc's to boots up emerging process.
Here are some links if you want to get head start
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/distcc.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/cross-compiling-distcc.xml

dannystaple · 2007-11-18 12:54:55

I also noted that you need to re-emerge rsync with USE=-ipv6, as the base install has it enabled by default, and will cause issues.
However, I have now noticed that ipv6 can be compiled as a kernel module... So with unix.o, and ipv6.o, we can support all those bits without complaints. I am going to try compiling a ipv6.o module in the next couple of weeks, and will let you guys know when I get it working...

orvtech · 2007-11-18 20:27:17

i am having some problems getting the services that i added by running 'rc-update add [SERVICE] default' in my chroot gentoo. is there a workaround for this ?

thanks in advace

Jundee · 2007-12-20 10:36:18

I just made a Gentoo installation. After reboot I cannot login. Connection works ok, and after I put username & password I get following message: "server refused to allocate pty". Any ideas?

I found some information about Debian installation having samekind of problem, and some undefined sleeps added to fun_plug made it work. I have not tried this yet, though.

Any news about the getting screen working? That would be awesome.

that happened to me too but installing a NSLU2, that has to do with /etc/conf.d/rc.conf i think. it is all explained in the documentation.

slackr · 2009-01-22 22:21:42

Ok, im pretty new to gentoo and emerge.
But there seems to be a problem with e2fsprogs at the moment.

This is what i get with emerge --pretend e2fsprogs
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] <sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41 (from pkg sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.3-r1)

[ebuild N ] sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.3-r1
[ebuild U ] sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.3 [1.35-r1]

Any idea on how i should solve this?

sala · 2009-01-23 13:46:12

Basically in this situation you'll need to uninstall sys-fs/e2fsprogs first before you can install new version. Run emerge -C sys-fs/e2fsprogs to uninstall blocker.
But e2fsprogs-1.41 is already safe version to use so you can leave it as it is.

slackr · 2009-01-23 20:48:49

Thanks for the help Sala.
Here comes the next bug:
DSM-G600 / # emerge sys-apps/baselayout
Calculating dependencies /!!! Cannot resolve a virtual package name to an ebuild.
!!! This is a bug, please report it. (virtual/init-0)

Any idea?

sala · 2009-01-24 18:43:48

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114798

Try to upgrade portage package first and them make sure your portage tree is correctly in place. Try to not to use emerge --sync Instead juste delete /usr/portage content and extract new portage from bzipball.

acruhl · 2009-02-02 00:02:30

Thanks for this Sala, I'm having fun so far.

Be patient with me please, I'm more of a NetBSD guy than a Gentoo Linux guy.

I think there are still portage problems:

marvin etc # emerge -pv devfsd

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "devfsd" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-fs/devfsd-1.3.25-r9 (masked by: missing keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.

This means that devfsd is not going to install, correct?

I'm also having the same problem as slackr with sys-apps/baselayout. I got the portage tar.bz2 file from Feb 1, and it's still a problem.

Your directions are very simple and clear, but we're having problems. Is this just too old of a distribution and it's getting stale or something?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

sala · 2009-02-02 08:57:31

Use 2006.1 stage, it does have devfsd installed by default.

- sys-fs/devfsd-1.3.25-r9 (masked by: missing keyword) means that ebuild does not have ppc keyword in it. You can add it manually and then run "ebuild devfsd-1.3.25-r9.ebuild digest" to get around.

acruhl · 2009-02-02 16:58:43

Now I'm using the new 2006.1 stuff.

Ok, just so we're clear, I did this:

edit /usr/portage/sys-fs/devfsd/devfsd-1.3.25-r9.ebuild

Change this line:

KEYWORDS=""

to this:

KEYWORDS="ppc"

Run this command:

ebuild devfsd-1.3.25-r9.ebuild digest
(this time it works)

Then this:

emerge -av devfsd

And now I have an installed devfsd.

On to the next stuff now.

Should I unmerge util-linux-2.13?

Sorry, I just don't know anything about Gentoo yet. I'm trying though.

acruhl · 2009-02-02 20:24:59

And more problems, darn:

root@marvin / # emerge --sync

This kind of stuff is familiar to me in the NetBSD world, this stuff happens when you're using old stuff, lacking options, etc. I tried updating some other stuff with emerge and it complained that something related to RPC didn't exist.

Any ideas?
