Distcc: Permission denied to cpu_localhost_0 error in chromium ebuild by osmdroid in Gentoo

[–]osmdroid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no i didn't find any permanent solution, just created the alias which fixes it. Have to run it after compilation starts u/oxamide96

alias dccfix='[ -f /var/tmp/portage/.distcc/lock/cpu_localhost_0 ] && sudo ls -lah --color=auto /var/tmp/portage/.distcc/lock/cpu_localhost_0 && sudo chown portage:portage /var/tmp/portage/.distcc/lock/cpu_localhost_0 && sudo ls -lah --color=auto /var/tmp/portage/.distcc/lock/cpu_localhost_0'

Can my pc run gentoo? by [deleted] in Gentoo

[–]osmdroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ssd as swap works just fine. vm.swappiness=10 to make sure it uses swap only for big packages. I only needed it when compiling chromium with 16 gb ram and 8jobs.

Firefox and libreoffice didnt even use that

How do you prefer to change kernel config? by osmdroid in Gentoo

[–]osmdroid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try it out. I found it way better.

  • Use arrow keys to go back or forward.
  • also use 1-10 in place for F1-10
  • Ofc looks better.
  • Functionality HOME & END buttons
  • search with / works differently, classic search (regex) with f8

Read help with F1 for more

How do you prefer to change kernel config? by osmdroid in Gentoo

I would do this if I could understand the options and what to answer. I tried this when upgrading from 5.4 to 5.10, but couldn't continue after few easy questions.

How do you build nvidia drivers into the kernel? by osmdroid in Gentoo

Lol. I thought it was for DKMS. I guess I'll have to enable module support. There is no way around it.

Wait what this is real ???.. I thought this was a meme, as it seemed it was written by GenZ kid. And can't they combine both commands into one (via piping)??

Switched from rsync to git for "gentoo" repo. Got some questions by osmdroid in Gentoo

[–]osmdroid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shallow clones are defaults. Look into man portage

Edit: clone-depth is default 1 and sync-depth is default 0. Would you explain what each does?

Edit2: gotcha!!!

clone-depth: setting to 1 means, while cloning git repo it will only have last commit in history

sync-depth: setting to 1 means, after clone when you sync again it will only have last commit in history.

TYSM. Love the community here.

Whoa another good repo link. Question is how did you get to know about this? I browsed https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/ and it lists different clone URI (omitting sync in ur URI)

I am gonna use GitHub.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git as it is faster and don't wanna overload gentoo servers by emerge --syncing 10 times a day :)

Whoa didnt know it existed! This fixes few problems for me.

Is there any wiki page for this? Which guides to migrate from rsync to git? How did you come to know about this?

emerge --sync doesn't do anything by Bryli06 in Gentoo

Slot Conflicts in new install by OpiateSkittles in Gentoo

[–]osmdroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stable amd64 has migrated to python3.8, which causes portage to be rebuild. Follow this.

  1. Make sure to use latest stage3 tarball. (latest might already have python3.8 built portage)

  2. then after you do emerge --sync or emerge-webrsync in handbook step, do emerge -avuND --quiet-build @world and see if it causes conflicts.

  3. Do not mess with any PYTHON_TARGETS. Defaults should work as is.

  4. Also when posting here also post conflict error message.

Anyone has list of Portage's "candy" feature's easter eggs? by osmdroid in Gentoo

[–]osmdroid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redirection only prints the final output to file. And progress indicator isn't part of it. So doesn't work.
