3. Booting it now, didn't read the kernel options I'm in GRUB just going to select: Boot LiveCD (kernel: gentoo)

why didn't you use the live gui iso. its more comfy you can have the handbook open on the same machine.

my vpn is slow and I have another device right here

I am noticing that some of these commands give a interface name but don't tell the command to figure out what they are on your device

>>106819034
I don't know much about fastman but from the screenshots i've seen it seems interesting, isn't the fastman distro Guix though

>>106819036
nvm i just wasn't looking closely "ip link" for wireless not sure about wired though

use the binhost

>>106819120
I plan on getting a framework soon is it possible to migrate my gentoo install to a new device or do I have to reinstall it

>>106819196
they both take an m.2 2280 ssd
you can just unscrew the case on your laptop and swap it over

>>106819272
Nice, I thought I was asking a dumb question

>>106819094
>isn't the fastman distro Guix though
dont remember but the screenplay was by a different anon probably most fastman guides are made by different anons anyway the last page has a meme license you can only sell it if you read sicp or install gentoo with video proof or you can """go fuck yourself"""

>>106819292
what is fastman, I clearly know nothing about it except seeing the screenshots

>>106819343
well join me I haven't gotten very far
download stage3 and connect to ethernet, I'm not setting up wifi
next I will make these partitions using fdisk:
/dev/nvme0n1 fat32 1GiB EFI
/dev/nvme0n2 linux-swap 24GB
/dev/nvme0n2 rest /root
I'm not that smart

>>106819332

>>106819094
Default wired is eth0

>>106819409
yeah that's what I tried, also the command was ip link i'm not sure if it showed it in the wired section but it was in the wireless section but I missed it

>>106819387
spoonfeed a newGOD then

>>106819373
using fdisk right now, I just made an 18GB swap instead of 24

Just activated swap, am I supposed to still be in livecd?

>>106819684
you need to chroot to the stage 3 you extracted to the root.

>>106819757
I think I'm at that part now, I need to wget the stage3, but isn't that what I booted into? I'm pretty sure I partitioned everything correctly but do I need to rerun swapon /dev/nvme0n1p2 again in chroot?

>>106819776
the stage 3 tarball contains all the binaries you need to run portage and install the system. the iso is just to give you an environment to make it possible to partition your disks and get online.

>>106819776
oh i missed the swap on part. that is kernel level so it will still be active inside the chroot. chroot just changes the location of /

went with dekstop openrc seems correct

skipped verify and validate
ran this
tar xpvf stage3-*.tar.xz --xattrs-include='*.*' --numeric-owner -C /mnt/gentoo
still haven't chrooted, editing make.conf

>>106819977
I did not fully read enough about make.conf but the only changes I made was adding -march=native to common_flags and writing a new line
MAKEOPTS="-j4 -l5"
since I have 4 threads 12gb ram that seems right from what little I read

>Following a guide
You did not install gentoo.

>>106820448
shut up retard, you forgot to bump

>>106820437
yeah the defaults are pretty solid. you will probably find somethings you want globally enabled but for most things you probably want to use the etc/portage/package.use directory.

>>106819597
the guides are supposed to explain everything in one image,the old ones had a lot of stuff about living out of a sleeping bag using public wifi and writing code for bitcoin, then the original guy who started it went fucking insane making bigger images with thousands of links to youtube videos so idfk what its """""""about"""""""" anymore

added that, does this apply to every package

didn't change any USE flags

>>106820725
Don't do it, you should compile everything.

emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --changed-use @world
now it's hot and fan high rpm

>>106820860
ok why, i'll change it back to priority = 1
I only wanted binaries for ungoogled-chromium or palemoon or librewolf

>>106821055
did you install your kernel and bootloader already?

>>106821120
no I just got to this page I'm about to start reading it
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Kernel

>>106821143
I have the wifi card that im pretty sure is supported in linux-libre and OpenBSD,
do I still need to run
emerge --ask sys-kernel/linux-firmware
only a iGPU too

>>106821143
Don't forget to mark your ssd driver and ext4 driver with "*", not " m", otherwise it will not boot.

>>106821168
I mean if you really are planning on swapping your build to another machine, you should probably use the distribution kernel and install the firmware if you want to increase the odds of it just working on the new machine.

>>106818514
mr robot was really good. i almost stopped watching during season two because of how boring it was compared to season one but it got way better.

i ran
emerge --ask sys-kernel/linux-firmware
I don't think it worked it stopped instantly but when i tried
emerge --ask sys-kernel/linux-firmware >> temp
nano temp
it only showed me the first few lines

>>106821257
I have spotted: kali, slackware, mint, and OpenWRT

>>106821280
you can't do that it outputs the stdout to a file but you need to be able to see it to answer it? try with tee or without the ask

>>106821331
i should have also mentioned you can also check the /var/log/emerge.log file

>>106821331
I used &> which also includes stderr and I think that worked but I still don't know what to do I think I'm just going to continue without it

>>106821378
for the firmware all it does is downloads a file and extracts it, it shouldn't really be able to fail.

emerge --ask sys-kernel/linux-firmware

All ebuilds that could satisfy sys kernel linux firmware have been masked
One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request
- sys-kernel/linux-firmware-99999999: :gentoo (masked by: package.mask, || ( ) linux-fw-redistriibutable license(s), missing keyword)
a copy of the linux fw redistributable license is located at /var/db/repos/gentoo/licenses/linux-fw-redistributable


I did this:
nano /etc/portage/package.license
with this:
sys-kernel/linux-firmware linux-fw-redistributable

>>106821467
it's because I ran this first I think
emerge --ask sys-firmware/sof-firmware

>>106821483
ohhh its probably because it has close source blobs or something. I always set ACCEPT_LICENCE="*" in my make.conf

installing grub and installkernel

>>106821548
with dracut and grub, now that I think about it I just have a normal system I didn't actually encrypt the partitions but that wasn't mentioned earlier

>>106818514
I too wanted to install it today, but decided to play The Talos Principle.

>>106821467
Could install (and run) elicense to handle that kinda thing.

emerge --ask sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel
this is going to take a while isn't it,
I'm worried I did something wrong somewhere along the way and all this compiling is for nothing

>>106819373
>/dev/nvme0n2 rest /root
Don't you want it at /
You don't even have a / in your partition setup

>>106821843
I don't remember settings them to / or /efi or /swap , i'm so sure I messed something up along the way and I'm compiling the kernel for no reason right now
captcha: x8xxx

>>106821811
you can always reboot and skip ahead in the manual to the chroot and finish your installation. you don't need to repartition if it doesn't boot your first try. the stuff you have compiled successfully thus far will still be safe and sound on the disk.

>>106821884
you mounted the swap with the swap on. you had to have mounted / before you chrooted in. its probably fine.

>>106821920
my shell prompt had (chroot) at the start, but am I actually in it that's what I'm worried about that might be one of the places I messed up

>>106821884
>I don't remember settings them to / or /efi or /swap ,
you need to make the /etc/fstab file then. make sure you didn't skip that part maybe it comes later idk

why did I see nouveau flash by I don't have a nvidia GPU
also finished the last ep, eyes teared up a little ngl

is there anything I can do from tty2 while it compiles

>>106822429
>didn't echo anything
ohh lol I thought you meant it flashed by on boot. if it is still compiling then its because the distribution kernel builds all the modules for all the hardware. the kernel will only run them if it detects the hardware so its not detrimental to performance just compile time and disk space.

>>106822502
its way past my bed time lol

are you still installing gentoo, anon

>>106822532
yes, I am waiting for this command to finish:
emerge --ask sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel
and also about to fix my fstab in another tty2/3

now that I am in nano, I notice that all of this is commented i'm going to ignore ChatGPT and just keep waiting for my command to finish and keep following the handbook once it's done

added my first use flag, USE="dist-kernel"

>>106821115
He’s trolling, you can use binary packages if you want. Just FYI the binhost installs precompiled binaries for a select few packages that the Gentoo maintainers have compiled binaries for. The -bin packages otoh such as those for librewolf or palemoon are binaries provided by the devs of those packages, not the gentoo maintainers.
>>106821811
You might have wanted to install gentoo-kernel-bin

>>106822712
it took nearly two hours but it is done compiling now, if I'm installing Gentoo I might as well do everything from source at least once

nano /etc/fstab

<fs> <mountpoints> <type> <opts>
/dev/nvme0n1p1 /efi vfat defaults
/dev/nvme0n1p2 / xfs defaults
/dev/nvme0n1p3 none swap sw
I don't really want to type 3 UUIDs will this work

>>106822769
I never type the uuids and its always worked. worse case scenario you reboot to the live environment and edit the file.

rc-update add dhcpcd default
rc-service dhcpcd start
now I have 4 IPs on ethernet 2 v4 2 v6, the v4s are next to each other
and the first half of the v6s are the same

>>106822813
thanks for confirming

>>106822769
blkid > /etc/fstab

/etc/rc.conf is a long file I'm not gonna modify it

Alt + left or right arrow key switches virtual terminal that's cool I've been pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1/F2/F3 etc like a peasant

I set my keymap which is hopefully correct

I'm going to leave /etc/conf.d/hwclock as UTC but I think GMT would be more correct since daylight savings are in effect right now

for sytem tools I'm just going with the default ones: sysklogd, cronie

emerge sys-fs/xfsprogs sys-fs/dosfstools
for my / and /efi partition

handbook says to install dhcpcd but I'm pretty sure I already did earlier

also
emerge net-wireless/iw net-wireless/wpa_supplicant
for Wi-Fi

reinstalling GRUB something I did earlier installed it but I had to set something in make.conf:
GRUB_PLATFORMS="efi-64"

umount -l /mnt/gentoo/dev{/shm,/pts,}
no mount specified for both, I knew it I messed something up didn't I, fuck it's time to reboot after the next umount:

rebooting, takes me to bios boot menu i'm clicking grub but by nvme0 drive is the other option available

neither of them do anything fuck I knew it, I knew I forgot something

the first time i've tried to install gentoo i had b**tloader problem too. seriously, beside firmware and malfunctioning kernel it's always
>fucked up partitions, filesystems (esp when doing lvm and encryption)
>fstab and mounts
>bootloader
1st isnt gentoo specific, i would do an arch vanilla installation in a vm in a setup i want. 2nd is your focus slipping, sleep it away and try again. on a 3rd issue i've thrown the towel and ditched grub for refind because the latter has easier configuration, simple installation (drop the executable somewhere in your ESP, create a boot entry in efibootmgr, change boot order in EFI), automatic image detection ootb and it's has always just worked for me.
an advice for dealing with your system in general, including installing it of course. don't hurry and relax. step away if you're stuck, come back refreshed. that's the approach which i've found both most effective at problem solving and pretty damn comfy too.

good luck there

/efi/EFI/grubx64.efi is a file
/boot/grub exists and /boot has amd-uc.img, initramfs.img ,vmlinuz dist, System.map dist and config gentoo dist, grub is a folder

>>106823893
there's no error when I rebooted it, it takes me to BIOS boot menu and I only had two options GRUB and my SSD, both of them just flash black and the boot menu reappears

this is what i did the first time:
grub-install --efi-directory=/efi
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.

this time I did this:
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/efi --bootloader-id=gentoo


for both I then ran this again:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
both times linux and initrd found

and now to see if I fixed it, I believe what I forgot the first time was the mount commands:

exit
umount -R /mnt/gentoo
rebooting manually because I unplugged usb before pressing reboot

ok I'm back at boot menu going to test both again if it still doesn't work I'm going to check BIOS settings. Once again both just flash black and bring me back to boot menu.

>Please kill yourself
who are you quoting doe? I just noted that unless I skipped over something when reading for whatever commands related to wired internet access it didn't tell you to use ip link to see what your device uses, usually it's eth0 but on my laptop its enp2s0 or something like that instead and I thought it did the same thing for setting up wireless but it didn't. Don't you think it would be helpful to mention that in case any beginners are trying to install gentoo and don't understand that /dev/sda or eth0 wlp3s0 are device specific and you shouldn't just copy the commands directly

startxfce4
nano /home/user/.xinitrc
to add exec startxfce4
I am now in xfce terminal so I have scrollback

You never want to run a browser as root. Why are you doing this?

This means that running multiple instances would start multiple browser processes rather than opening a new window in the existing process. Aborting now to avoid profile corruption.

I have installed sudo and uncommented:
%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
using the visudo command which opens nano

I have installed mouespad text editor and the greybird theme might try more themes later but for now I need to focus on getting audio to work, pulseaudio is installed and running, fn+f keys seem to work and it seems to be a different value when I unplug my IEMs however no sound is playing when plugged or unplugged

It doesn't have access to your .config which is weird.

>>106829622
Check the owner of the /home directory

ls -l /home

>>106825967
Gratz! I hope your system serves you long and well

>>106829832
>>106829885
thanks a few hours ago before I went to sell my mac I ran some command which I think was supposed to make me the owner will check again

>>106829925
I hope so I will transfer it among devices my eternal install till the day I die


installed pavucontrol, idk why audio doesn't work this didn't fix it it's just a volume gui

>>106830050
I’m not super familiar with audio issues (despite the meme) but I think audio is usually controlled through Pipewire, JACK, or ALSA. I haven’t had to debug it myself, sorry :(

>>106830088
don't worry i got my pizza and tendies I'm sure I'll figure it out and go to sleep early today current time 18:23

>>106829832
>>106829885

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home//.config/chromium
rm -f /home/mo/.config/chromium/SingletonLock

working, I will no switch browser and focus on my audio

>>106830579
audio just werks maybe it was because I emerged alsa or maybe it was a running chromium as root issue

installing gentoo is as easy as installing arch just slightly more time consuming

>>106830648
I disagree arch/artix was much easier, I think the layout or css of the gentoo handbook could greatly be improved specifically text size especially differences between different heading levels, and to make more clear the important things and less important things

installing keepassxc, vscodium, and tailscale now, once this is done I am basically done now that ungoogled-chromium works and has ublock origin and umatrix

xfce requires ricing the greybird dark theme is nice but I mean specifically the different docks I prefer only having one, so for now I'm going back to my pony roots and trying niri but I may come back to xfce once I have more time to rice

>>106830891
ctrl clicking links from terminal doesn't work, compiling is slow and I don't recall a single change I have made with USE flags so far

fact check:
xfce-base/xfce4-meta -media -cdr
to have less bloat but that is a minor change I can live without

Was there any point of me installing gentoo I think it would be better if my software install faster oh well at least I am nearly done

>>106831065
someone explain what the point of all this compiling is if I'm not using USE flags
wouldn't Guix or Artix be better for my
>use case
for now goodnight thread

>>106831257
Saner defaults than, like, Arch. Which enables, like, almost every viable flag, bloating up your programs, and increasing your attack surface as a result.

Bump for the /g/entooman

bump

In this thread I will install windows 11

ok it's installed

>>106835083
>>106835090
It’s not that fast don’t lie anon

>>106835108
its pretty quick on nvme from a USB C flash drive

>>106819120
at least use -g so it grabs binaries by default if you happen to be using an available use flag set. you can replace them later on

This threads making me interested in messing around with gentoo, might start a little project on the weekend on an old precision tower i got lying around
