Re: [gentoo-user] can genkernel install files with different names?

[Alexander Openkowski]

I struggle with the naming of genkernel generated kernels for quite a while
now and have written a small wapper script for this purpose...

Re: [gentoo-user] sysrescuecd gone rogue

[Alexander Openkowski]

I found some hints for using non-Gentoo LiveCDs for installation over here
when I realized that my beloved SystemRescueCD switched over to Arch:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Installation_alternatives#Installation_from_non-Gentoo_LiveCDs

It seems though that these special advices (tar options when unpacking the
stage tarball) have also been added to the regular installation
instructions meanwhile, however in a slightly different form?

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel config checks

Hi,

i just have a question regarding packages using linux-info.eclass to 
check for specific kernel config flags (e.g. app-emaulation/docker).


Currently it seems like the flags are only checked against the config 
in /usr/src/linux which is not necessariliy the running kernel.


Furthermore there are some warnings printed, but after some time i 
find it hard to remember what i will have to change in my kernel 
configs in order to make the package work right. It is also just a 
snapshot of the situation at the time emerge is building the package.


Does there exists a tool helping in maintaining consistency between 
kernel configuration and configs required by currently installed packages.


If not, could emaint be be the right tool to extend with this 
functionality?

Or is this functionality not really needed?

Regards,

Manuel
It does not directly help with the consistency problem, but Elogv 
(https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Elogv) at least helps to keep track of the 
messages portage prints out. You could, for example, decide to not 
remove the messages with kernel config changes that you have not done, yet.

I did not follow your issue here in detail, but have you already updated

Re: [gentoo-user] Bad luck with new installation: Compilation issues (eudev)

Have you seen this thread in the forums? It looks like your problem:

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1057500-view-previous.html?sid=9c8b57325eef824a0748ec4ca94ac8b1

Found via a quick google search. Keywords: "eudev 3.2.1 error gentoo".
No offense, really. But you do not need to wait for an answer if you
search for yourself. :-)

Re: [gentoo-user] Virtualbox oddities...

In case you miss the 'guest-additions-iso': install
app-emulation/virtualbox-additions. For Gentoo guests there is:
app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions.

Re: [gentoo-user] Networkmanager Auto Connect

[Alexander Openkowski]

I have the same problem. Unfortunately, I do not know of any fix (did
not have the time to really investigate the problem, yet). I connect to
wireless networks manually in the meantime, which is getting on my
nerves more and more every day. :-) By the way: It seems that also wired
networks are affected.
