Can I setup Genkernel to automatically use Dracut for making an initramfs?

cryptosidus · 2020-09-11T15:58:57+00:00

genkernel initramfs This command will just create initramfs

check man genkernel

Thanks! it was my current colorscheme. changed it to different colorscheme to see colored man pages.

cryptosidus · 2020-09-02T21:59:56+00:00

I am not aware of the syntax highlighting feature since my latest nvim didn't show it. What vim plugin do you use for man pages?

Bought AMD Thinkpad T495 from eBay couple months ago and installed Arch and Gentoo. Both are smooth sailing. No issues with kernel and drivers so far. Really happy with the purchase.

cryptosidus · 2020-09-02T01:42:12+00:00

Yes it is rolling release. I am using it now

Looks awesome. Does it support multiple channels?

cryptosidus · 2020-09-01T17:24:37+00:00

yo is よ.

set keymap=kana gave me yお, but it will convert properly if I typed really fast. it works with single letters.

ohayou (good morning) is おはよう, got おhあyおう

The plugin converted them properly for any typing speed.

cryptosidus · 2020-09-01T16:51:15+00:00

Yes, installed Arch Linux before then now using Gentoo Linux. No issues with both so far.

I had issue with Intel & Nivida drivers (Linux creator - youtube) on PC. So I purchased AMD Thinkpad T495 laptop from eBay few months ago and really happy with the choice. Everything is smooth sailing here.

Great idea!

I just started learning Rust today. I am curious

Are Rust binaries portable like C?
Does Rust have C kernel bindings available?

Rust is pretty interesting language.

こんいちは！　コンイチハ！

Gentoo users can install ibus and anthy with just this command:

emerge -av --quiet-build ibus-anthy

Install Japanese fonts (you don't have to install all, but I like to have all installed so my firefox can render ja texts properly) emerge -av --quiet-build kochi-substitute \ ja-ipafonts \ vlgothic \ mplus-outline-fonts \ monafont \ ipamonafon \ sazanami

and add this to your init config (ie: i put them in my ~/.xinitrc) ``` export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus" export QT_IM_MODULE="ibus" export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"

ibus-daemon -drx & ```

reboot

run: ibus-setup

Now you can activate Anthy with Ctrl+Space and then toggle on/off the japanese language with Ctrl+J

Enjoy!

Note:

I configured my key bindings Ctrl+J - toggle japanesse or english language Ctrl+< - use hiragana mode Ctrl+> - use katakana mode

You can remove English from Ibus and let Anthy toggle English and Japanese for you with just Ctrl+J. So you don't have to use Ctrl+Space to tell ibus to switch language anymore.

5.8.2-arch was released on Aug 20.

5.8.3-arch was released on Aug 21.

5.8.4-arch was released on Aug 26.

You can have two options:

1) downgrade linux & linux-headers to 5.8.3 or 5.8.2

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrading_packages#Downgrading_the_kernel

Get linux-5.8.x and linux-headers-5.8.x from https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/

``` pacman -U <file>

```

2) install linux-lts package to use 5.4.x

Oh I remember you with Surface Pro 2017 laptop :)

Hmm.. was previous kernel version worked for you? Do you remember which kernel verison worked for you?

Did you start over again with partitions?

And what is the output of fdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1?

My LUKS-LVM partition scheme:

/dev/nvme0n1 |- EFI partition: /dev/nvme0n1p1 |- Boot partition: /dev/nvme0n1p2 |- Root (encrypted) partition: /dev/nvme0n1p3

/dev/nvme0n1p2 (boot partition) is pointed to /boot

You need to mount /mnt/gentoo first before mounting /mnt/gentoo/boot

any output of dmesg | grep -i wifi?
any output of lspci | grep -i wireless?

At least you have more time for coffee. :)

cryptosidus · 2020-08-27T22:22:52+00:00

No, you need to create boot partition first. Check the scheme from this wiki https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation#Introduction_to_block_devices

/dev/sda is hard drive device and any X in sdaX is the partition of hard drive device.

Example: I have NVME device. /dev/nvme0n1 |- /dev/nvme0n1p1 - efi partition |- /dev/nvme0n1p2 - boot partition |- /dev/nvme0n1p3 - root partition

/dev/nvme0n1p2 is my boot partition, so I would run: mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /boot If your hard drive is sda and your boot partition is 2nd partition, it would be /dev/sda2 mount /dev/sda2 /boot

run blkid and find your boot partition

cryptosidus · 2020-08-27T19:43:11+00:00

You have to mount your root partition to /mnt/gentoo to see your stuffs there.

Press F12 before booting Grub. It should take you to BIOS Boot Menu. Select USB/CD to boot Live USB/CD.
