 Posted: Tue Aug 06, 2024 1:27 am Post subject: [SOLVED] computer locks up everytime I do emerge update |
 |
|
Just installed gentoo to a Virtualbox which files are stored on a usb ssd drive.
I don't think that has anything to do with the issue but i'm not sure.
Trying to update with emerge commands at some point during the update it just stops and I have to shut down the vm and start it up again.
It seems to consistently have and issue with gcc as best as I can tell.
One question I have is . If the USE entries are not right could that cause it to stop?
Also is there a standard USE variable that you should start with?
I'm trying to figure out how to get the results of emerge --info in this post.

What is the configuration of your vm? Maybe it does not have enough memory allocated. You need the same amount of RAM as for a physical machine, if not more. Decent performance at least 8GB real RAM allocated for the vm, 16GB if you can. |

How is the USB SSD driver powered? If you are relying on hub power, try an external power source. That is often a problem.

wgetpaste is generally the easiest.

The defaults. If you don't have a reason you understand to change them, then don't. You can select a relevant profile to help. For example, a "desktop" profile. Use it for a desktop, or avoid it to not enable desktop USE flags such as KDE or Gnome related items.

It seems highly unlikely that it would cause the problem you describe.
Have you changed any USE flags? If so, what?

I also find that extended compilation causes Gentoo to crash on VirtualBox. The behaviour, for me, is not deterministic -- sometimes I can get a successful compilation if I retry the operation. But sometimes I can't.
The problem could be related to resources. Unfortunately, the machines I run VirtualBox on are machines I use for business. They have plenty of RAM, but I'm using most of it for work. I usually set my Gentoo VMs to 8Gb; conceivably that's not enough.
Because I don't plan on using Gentoo on VirtualBox in the long term, I haven't really bothered to investigate further.
BR, Lars. |

I ran the following command and it completed successfully.
| Code: | | emerge --ask --quiet --update --changed-use --deep @world |
To answer some of your questions.
The usb ssd is plugged directly to the usb 3.0 port on the laptop not through a powered hub.
