Feedback for my gentoo disk image (deutsch)

[shorty]

Hi,
i build a gentoo out of the box solution for rpi2, use the benefits of gentoo .
i dont have options to test this raw disk image working for other users, pls give some feedback if you are interested in ...
what works, what not ... and things you want to have on a newer release

Good for users that don't want waste time by building linux ... including everything you need to get started



you can download it from
https://www.linuxweb.net/dwnld_image.php

it's german! Userlogin same like in raspbian ...

some informations here: http://raspberry.linuxweb.net/?id=rpi2compatibilitylist

you can add packages that are available in portage ... feel free!

Greetings

i will buy a rpi3 to see if the image is portable
and make the wlan work

[shorty]

merged software: http://linuxweb.net/dwnld/world (world)

i think there is no 64bit kernel available so far for rpi3, else please contact me ...
or i have to build it by myself??

[shorty]

is it working on your rpi?

[cjan]

does it wireless support by default, Rpi2?

[shorty]

wlan is in! any module that is available in kernel 4.4.18 should be working but must be loaded, the Vilros WLAN-Adapter is set up by default.
Use /etc/conf.d/modules and add it in right order, try pluggin it in..

Code: Select all

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter

What Wlan Adapter are you using? I can add it in the next release ...

It would be nice if some other user can tell me about what adapters they are using!
i want to have an overview ...

Have a nice day !

one problem, too big to download...downloading break during about 1.3g.

[shorty]

sorry, server crashed, try http://linuxweb.net:8080/dwnld_image.php instead

perhaps somebody is able here to provide this file elsewhere, i'd like to get the count of the downloaded file in certain intervals

an update is neccessary, it's outdated - but you can do it by yourself too ...

[cjan]

ok, will wait next update.

[shorty]

i' ve problems compiling omxplayer from portage in case of wrong included headers from userland ...

but a new release is online without the movieplayer

[cjan]

ok, need md5sum to make sure is it correct?
can not mount root fs during booting....

[shorty]

ok, do you see any messages

[cjan]

ok, do you see any messages

where is md5sum ????

[shorty]

here it goes:

7dafbeed0d30bf4267587c6974f77bfa gentoo.img.gz

[cjan]

md5sum check ok.
but, mmcbl0p3 is 5XG > my 16G card after flashed.
wonder you had test yourself?

[shorty]

thank you for telling me, i've tested with a previous release with a big card
did you resize fs?
is it booting?

I'll fix this

[cjan]

I'll fix this

mmcblk0p3 error, can not boot so no resize-card.
and, can not open inbox message you send.

btw, is it possible to setup wireless (no wired) form stage3?

[shorty]

not that i know of, perhaps in other archs

if not that would be a nice feature, inform me when it is possible

iwconfig isn't present, ifconfig is
i think there is missing some things
you have the loopback by default

[shorty]

it still takes time!

[shorty]

i am currently working on a new release, with fixed filesystem and partition:

for those who using the old image this should help:

you should use gparted or parted!

new on next image:
display link, dual monitors, newer kernel.

[shorty]

look & feel:openbox theme, icons and gtk theme

[cjan]

look & feel: openbox, icons and gtk theme

new img download link ?

[shorty]

still compiling: coming soon

[shorty]

i think about using F2FS instead of ext4

[shorty]

Hey,

a new image is online, but i couldn't test it by myself yet because i'm busy with other work and i done this by remote.
it's about ~3 gb. the partition table is fixed but i can't move the main partition to other blocks, so there may be problems @ boot again when using a 8gb card. So 16 gb is recommended to be safe.

When anybody is going to test it and let me know if the image and booting is OK . Then i can go further make it done.

there are several issues but not kind of high priority ... i must switch to another clock system (clock skew warnings / swclock or turn time to future, runlevel script as 1st)
openrc-run coming soon ..

Greetings + success
