 |
|
Hello Gentoo people,
I am to embark on next step of gentoo rpi experiance,
so this link draw my eye: https://github.com/sakaki-/gentoo-on-rpi-64bit/wiki/Improve-Swap-Perfomance-on-your-RPi
but I am confuse by this:
| Code: | demouser@pi64 ~ $ sed 's:\s*#.*$::g' <<EOF | sudo fdisk /dev/sdX
o # create a new DOS partition table
n # then create a new partition
p # which is primary
1 # and is partition 1
# use the default start sector
# and default end sector, to fill the drive
t # change the partition type
82 # to 'Linux swap'
w # then commit changes and exit
EOF |
How is this executed?
I mean is this 11 commands in terminal? eof is end of file, do I have to write those down in some file?
and is it wrong if i just go sudo fdisk /dev/sdX, and when fdisk opens, i issue the o's and n's and p's in that written order?
Thank you

According to that GitHub wiki article:
| Quote: | | In the above, sed is used simply to strip out all comments on each line, before passing to fdisk. |
So you may also choose to manually type those commands in fdisk instead of running them automatically. At least that's what I would choose to do myself.
I also think you can use parted instead of fdisk if you are more familiar to the former. |

hello fturco,
thank you, that was not clear to me, I did it as you suggested, it is just strange to see instructions in that way.
ok, i have 4g swap on usb, thanks
Now I hit another issue, I use dwm, with .xinit, but instead of a usual blink of an eye from startx to wm, it takes over 20 seconds?
Thank you

while true,
Pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log please so we can see what Xorg is doing as it starts.
dmesg may be useful too.

Hello NeddySeagoon,
I am still havinf wifi prolems also,
i'll use usb-wifi dongle to get on network, emerge wgetpaste and i'll get right back
thank you
EDIT:
Well it seem that was couple off, maybe that usb-swap thing needed setteling.
I just rebooted 3 times, and each time I startx-ed 2-3 times, and all is done in a blink of an eye, so I am sorry for screaming...
| Code: | |--------------->
~/# wgetpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Your paste can be seen here: http://dpaste.com/2R1KM9K
|--------------->
~/# dmesg | wgetpaste
Pasting > 25 kB often tend to fail with dpaste. Use --verbose or --debug to see the
error output from wget if it fails. Alternatively use another pastebin service.

thank you

X fails due to the following error:
| Code: | [ 42.910] (II) modeset(0): Refusing to try glamor on llvmpipe
[ 42.913] (EE) modeset(0): glamor initialization failed |
It seems this behavior has been introduced with this git commit.
Did you configure Xorg manually perhaps? If so, please show us the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and/or the contents of the files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.
Output from the following commands would be nice, too:
| Code: | emerge --info
emerge -pv xorg-server |

Hello fturco,
I was thinking about opening a new thread for this problem, since it repeted itself today, but than, again, disappeared, I tell you, it is a roller-coaster here, I can not seem to get any consistent output...
So yes, please, I'll start new thread with output you requested,
(link: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1104578.html)
and this thread will need updating soon, i feell...
