Gentoo help plzzzzzz
 

i had installed gentoo thru live cd , i just downloaded the image from the site and performed installation , everything was fine , installation success message came after long 20-25 min.
But one problem i cudnt get my gentoo start , my grub doesnt show any gentoo, actually i have Ubuntu , so GRUB contains windows and ubuntu flavours .

I had edited in /boot/grub/menu.lst like this
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.24-r5
# Partition where the kernel image (or operating system) is located
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/sda3

actually i just copied this from gentoo guide , and edited my root to (hd0,2)
i dont knw much about that second root so just left it with root=/dev/sda3
While selecting i get "error 13"

My gentoo is in (hd0,2) and my GRUB in (hd0,4)

So based on my assumption i dont need to copy my kernel image from cd to my location right !! Its already done by the installation , right guys

So plzz help me form this situation!!!!! Looks simpler for u , bizzare for me

I remember I had the same problem a while back, try

kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/sda5

or

keep kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/sda3
but change to
root (hd0,4)

it's one of those, good luck.

oops neither didnt work ... Have u installed thru livecd , great man , i have been trying for past one month , i think i need to install it in conventional way ..

I suggest installing the manual way, which is the only supported one. Anyway, you can consider it as an introductory course to Gentoo. If you can't read the handbook and go through it then you are going to have lots of problems to use Gentoo (you won't be able to administer it anyway). Having the will to read the handbook is just part of the process.

About your problem, did you edit the grub.conf in the Gentoo partition? Because if that's so then you did wrong. You need to edit the one in the ubuntu partition, since it's the one that's being used. That is, unless you have a shared independent /boot partition that you use for both Oses.

I'm not able to perform "make menuconfig" after chroot operation ,Is there any way to get menuconfig
For time being i made use of genkernel and executed genkernel all and this shows

so i foud out that it lacks /bin/sh but /bin/bash exist , so i done a weird operation i think so , that is i copied form my Ubuntu machine /bin/sh to /mnt/gentoo/bin , so after that i get this result

Plz help me i'm stucked , i'm eagerly waiting to get Gentoo installed .
Why these error came , is there any way to get /bin/sh installed after that i need to perform genkernel all operation .
I think one step more to get gentoo installed

You are failing at least on one of the steps.

Did you uncompress the stage3 file correctly? Did you mount the /proc and /dev directories into the gentoo partition? Did you chroot correctly?

Be very careful when doing these steps and be alert for any error. Make sure that you check the integrity of the stage3 file as well with md5sum. A corrupt file will do you no good.

You have to follow the handbook step-by-step, and if one step doesn't work (or you don't understand it) don't continue blindly, come hear and ask for help.

Did you install the proper stage3 file? Are you sure it was correct? The contents of the partition seems to be completely messed up.

Now understood this line of command makes problem for me

zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config
gzip: /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory

i'm not able to perform , this what all mess started i think .. , i had mounted /proc but not able to view config.gz , thats why i'm not able to perform "genkernel all "

See below in my /proc there is no config.gz , so how will genkernel calls default kernel configuration?

That's very strange. It should be there. But well, I really never tried to use genkernel, in like 6 years of Gentoo I've built my kernels as I always did before.

One thing that you could try is to copy it from the /proc of the cdrom itself, instead of the /proc of the chroot. Assuming that you mounted the gentoo partition in /mnt/gentoo as you said above, the process would be this way:

• run "exit" to exit the chroot
• zcat /proc/config.gz > /mnt/gentoo/usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config
• chroot /mnt/gentoo/ /bin/bash
• env-update && source /etc/profile
  # you are on the chroot again

Maybe there's a valid config.gz there. I have no idea why it doesn't appear on the chroot though. If it doesn't appear there I guess that you will need to pick it from elsewhere.

Yea one day i'll also compile kernel myself like u buddy , but before i need to learn that why looked for better linux
But i didnt understand one thing what to copy from cdrom , i dont have anything like that in my cd drive , or r u mentioning something else?

Sorry, from where are you installing? Are you booting from another distro that's already installed or from the gentoo livecd? I mean, before you chroot you have to boot another linux.

I'm doing this from my Ubuntu 8.10 , so any problem , but i come to know that gentoo can be installed from any distro , right ? Any problem while doing so ?
Can u specify actually where the kernel configuration stored in Ubuntu , coz i think that might be the problem , zcat i think didnt worked coz of that ?

Sorry for the delay, even I have to sleep sometimes ;)

No problem. Maybe ubuntu kernels doesn't have the option to export the config in /proc/config.gz. Can you look into the /boot directory of your ubuntu installation? Maybe the config files are also stored there. Another common place could be /etc/kernels/ or something similar. Check these locations and see if you can find any *config* file around. If not then I will try to pick a generic config file form a gentoo cd or something for you.

Its ok , now everything worked fine .. But still making problem .. This Gentoo is really a hard nut

What i'm now performing is "make menuconfig" options , and i selected whatever options which i feel suitable and make && make module_install everything worked fine , i think so , but whenever i select an option i couldnt figure whether that particular option was selected or not , leave it for a moment , but performed make && make module_install
And i've performed everything step by step from handbook
Now the problem is GRUB
I had emerged GRUB , but i thought why shud i edit gentoo grub , i've my Ubuntu GRUB and i edited that file

title Gentoo Linux 2.6.28
# Partition where the kernel image (or operating system) is located
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/gentoo-2.6.28 root=/dev/sda3

/boot/gentoo-2.6.28 that i copied image , OK . and root(hd0,2) where i made my GENTOO , root i just copied from handbook , coz i dont knw much abt that

Still not working .........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you sure that's the correct partition? I say that because in other post above you mounted gentoo on sda2, not sda3.

What's the thing that's not working? The kernel compiled fine, do you mean that it doesn't boot? If that's the case what errors does it spit?

vibinlakshman,

You are quite correct to not emerge grub in gentoo. You will add a Gentoo booting stanza to your existing grub.conf to boot Gentoo.

The boot files themselves can be left in the Gentoo install or moved to your /boot. Both methods work provided you write the booting stanza properly. Your
may well be incorrect as it appears to be taken directly from the Gentoo Handbook which uses 3 partitions. You installed to /dev/sda2 so may be better.

Also genkernel makes a completely modular kernel when it gets its own way. Then it needs an initrd line to be able to mount your real root. Provided your kernel has everying configured in to boot gentoo, the initrd is not required.

The Gentoo Handbook chapter 10, in code listing 2.3 and 2.4 shows both methods.

Sorry fr late , once a week i'll be having migraine , when it comes , full day on bed , once again sorry for delay

Yea i just mentioned i dont knw much abt that root=/dev/sda3 , i had done it in /dev/sda2 , u r right .. I'll change and see

No need to apologize, when real life calls we all have to attend to it. :)

Ok , so lets come to Gentoo hihihi ..

I just made appropriate modifications in my Ubuntu grub and it worked ..
But again a problem (its normal for me )

When reached
* Checking root file systems
ext2fs_check_if_mount - No such file or directory while determine whether /dev/ROOT mounted
fsck.ext3 : No such file or directory
Superblock couldnt be read or doesnt describe correct ext2 filesyste,

File systems couldnt fixed
Give root password for maintanence
(none)~ #

You need to adjust /etc/fstab conveniently.

/dev/ROOT and /dev/BOOT are just placeholders. You need to put the correct partitions in there. /boot might or might not be a separate partition, if you don't have a separate partition for it then just delete or comment (#) that line.

Its working , so they r asking about localhost to start , but i dont knw which localhost username and passwd

So i just restarted and went to Ubuntu and from gentoo done "adduser vibin" & passwd vibin but when passwd option given its asking abt new UNIX passwd , is this root password i'm creating or a normal user?

One step more , oh no i'm in brink of Gentoo , i cant wait it started
Helpppppppppppp

One more i had completed my user creation , it showing terminal of user@localhost , for Ubuntu there is an option startx , but what for this gentoo , or is there any mechanism to directly enter into Gentoo , like normal OS procedure , giving user and pass

You must stick to the instructions in the handbook. Chaprter 12.

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handboo...k_part1_chap12

Following the relevant links you will reach this:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/index.xml?catid=desktop

You first need to install the X server:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml

Then you need to install whatever desktop environment or window manager you want to use. There are guides to them linked in the Gentoo Desktop Documentation Resources I linked above.

Yea , after doing some xorg server instalaltion , i'm not able to invoke Xorg -configure .. Is there any problem , i cudnt figure it out

So even i tried
# emerge Xorg
Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "Xorg".

Please, follow the xorg configuration guide I linked above. There's no package called "Xorg", and, besides that, you need to configure a few things before you install it. It's all in the guide.

vibinlakshman,

Gentoo gives you only what you must have for every Gentoo install, you have that when you boot into your own install for the very first time. You have reached that milestone.

From now on, you get only what you ask for and the dependancies to make these things work.
As you have not yet installed a GUI, you don't have one. Not everyone wants or needs a GUI. What use would it be on a headless server?

I'm confused , i havent faces this much difficulties while installing gentoo rather than Xorg ..
I'm using synaptic touchpad as my mouse ? What to do with this nvidia , i dont knw which one i'm using
Even then i edited as INPUT_DEVICE ="synaptic touchpad"
So i can emerge Xorg , but cant . I'm not able to configure it too

What to do??????

Is that a question or an affirmation?

Do you use a regular mouse, a touchpad, or both? Please, be as clear as you can when answering. Your posts are a bit difficult to understand some times.

If you don't know what video card do you have, use this command to identify it:

Then update the VIDEO_CARDS variable accordingly, for ati you usually want:

for nvidia you want:

If you have another video card then post here the output so we can give additional hints on how to proceed.

That line has many problems. First, don't put blank spaces around the '=' sign, that's not correct. Also "touchpad" is not a correct driver, "synaptic" is not either (it's "synaptics"). But even more importantly, INPUT_DEVICE means nothing to portage. It's "INPUT_DEVICES", with the trailing 'S' that you omited. Please, be very careful when typing and don't randomly throw values into this variable (or any other).

Regulars users often want this:

in your make.conf. If you also have a synaptics touchpad, thin this:

If you are not sure, then erase this line from your /etc/make.conf file, and don't specify any value for INPUT_DEVICES. That way all the input drivers will be compiled and you will be on the safe side.

Please, try to understand that you will not be able to configure it until you have installed it correctly. One step at a time. You can't simply skip the installation of the X server and the pretend to configure it...

Next, I have no idea why you insist on running:

I already told you that there's no package called Xorg on the previous post, and I repeat that you must read the guide and follow it. If you do so, you will find that you need to run:

It's in the code labeled as "Code Listing 2.3: Installing Xorg".

If you don't read the guide you lose your time, and I lose mine as well. I have no problem explaining everything that's needed here. But I consider it a waste of time to type here again what's already in there in a very clear form.

Luck with that :)

Sorry for my mistake , but can i explain one thing , if u dont mind

OK here it is , i have properly edited my conf file , and done accordingly u specified , Ok , it was my first step
Second i emerged pv -xorg server
Third emerge xorg-x11

env-update
# source /etc/profile
as fourth and fifth .

This is my final step
#Xorg -configure
but command doesnt exist shows .. Can u explain it why ?

/usr/bin/Xorg is installed as part of xorg-server, so, if the package has been installed it should be there. Can you paste here the output of this command, please?

That will tell me if the package is installed and a few other things that might be useful to diagnose what the problem is.

Ok done!!!!
vibin-laptop / # emerge -pv xorg-server

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

I'll try to explain in simple terms.

This command that you just used:

Can be written in this long form:

Maybe that way you can understand better what it does. It doesn't really install anything, it tells us what would be done if you emerge this package for real.

Look at the output, it is telling us that if you want to emerge xorg-server it will emerge all those packages. Even more, the string "[ebuild N ]" at the beginning of each line tells us that those packages are not installed on your system (here the 'N' stands for 'new').

So this confirms what I told you before. You haven't installed Xorg at all.

You need to run this:

Without -p, let it do the job (it will take some time, it's big).

When it finishes, carefully read the output and make sure that there's no error or warning. This is something that you must do *always* when you emerge something.

Only last portion i've been copied and paste , coz others where working fine , but this part i think , little bit of problem arised
Plz verify it !!!!

vibin-laptop / # Xorg -configure
bash: Xorg: command not found

Indeed, that's an error. You can stop trying "Xorg -configure" for now, as you see on this line:

This is the 4th package of a total of 86, so you have still a long way to go until Xorg is installed ;)

Now, to the problem. For some reason it fails while patching the netkit-rsh package. Please, do "emerge --sync" to update portage, maybe the problem has been solved.

After that try "emerge xorg-x11" again, and if it still fails, post the contents of the log file that is mentioned in the error message (which I highlighted in bold letters below):

Oops sorry i'm not able to get the content u had mentioned

while 'nano 'ing i get as new file ..
Sorry for my ignorance!!!

The name of the file might be a bit different each time you run "emerge xorg-x11", in your ls output it's 010_all_rexec.patch-12558.out

You tried to "cd" into it, but cd is to change to another directory, it doesn't work on files. To see the contents of a file open it with nano, or use 'cat'.

In any case the name of the file is shown on the emerge error. :)

One question, did you try "emerge --sync"?


The problem is that it fails to patch a file, and I can't think a reason why that would happen on a sane system (I just tried the same exact version of the ebuild and it patches without a problem so...).

Just a wild thought, can you try to delete the temporal files under /usr/var? Look closely and tell me if the rm command fails or gives some warning or error:

vibinlakshman,

Please post the output ofso we can see your setup and the output of Its not that we don't believe you have done it correctly, its just very difficult to spot your own mistakes.
The last command shows about the last 30 packages you have installed.

Ahhhhh.. No use .. I havent done anything wrong , just followed the handbook .. By the way ,How to update config files?

May be i need to redo what all i've done .. Any way thanks i92guboj who had given valid support for all these days .
Thanks alot ..

have just installed gentoo myself from mininimal cd configured kernel manually. I did the kernel configuration without no modules and selected only the what i needed for my hardware to work. had to disables root=nfs under the nfs section of file selection to get gentoo to boot. Also I, don't think it matters what distro you chroot from, as long as it's done correctly. I chrooted from puppy a few times while setting up gentoo. I figure once I got gentoo to boot I can always go back later and redo my kernel configuration. Maybe this will help.

never mind only read the first page of posts

sorry for butting in again but I had a problem installing xorg also. I think with the same file. not sure. but after i changed my download mirror for other reasons. I was able to get xorg installed and running. maybe changeing mirrors will help. I used mirror select off the cd in auto mode to select a different mirror.

vibinlakshman,

The easy things to explain first

Your emerge did not complete, you still have another 73 packages to go before you can run As i92guboj explained, thats because a patch failed. Thats a temporary problem with Gentoo. It may be fixed by now.
Run to get an updated portage tree, Then try again. The packages that are already built will not be rebuilt.

Thats the easy bit.

Your emerge --info shows This means you have selected the bare default/linux/x86/2008.0 profile. Further, your USE flags have many options missing that will allow a smooth install of a GUI.
You have several choices here. (Gentoo is all about choice) I will describe two. You can update your USE flags with a tool like ufed or profuse, which you can emerge or you can change your profile to which provides a better set of USE flags for a desktop system.

Whatever you choose, you will need to run after you have changed your USE flags to make them take effect.
Thats --update --deep --newuse --ask --verbose
Only things that need to change will be rebuilt.
If you don't fix your USE now, shortly you will run into errors with one package needing an earlier package to be build with different options.

Everything else looks good.

Thanks neddyseagoon , i just emerged profuse , seems pretty easy like synaptic manager ..
But how do u change it to desktop environment , i couldnt find anything which help me to edit profile
Or plz guide me how to edit /etc/make.conf to have desktop environment , i forgot where i have done this environment steps , is it in kernel configuration or not ?
Any way i'll be grateful !!!!

Understand this for once: you are never ever going to get a desktop environment until X is installed and running.

As for the profile, use this command to list the available ones:

Search the desktop one in the list and and note down the number on the left column. Then do this to select it:

how to change profile is in chapter 6 of the gentoo handbook How come they don't put eselect profile list and eselect profile set commands in the installion handbook? It's alot easier changing profiles this way then by book.
