 |
|
Hello,
I am trying to install kernel-bin, however when I try to execute:
euse -E initramfs sys-kernel/linux-firmware
I get the following error:
Use Flags sys-kernel/linux-firmware is not defined in use.desc and should not be added to make.conf
I guess without initramfs I am not able to install kernel-bin.
I really appreciate any information sombody can provide about it, |

Per the man page for euse, euse -E is only used to enable a USE flag setting in the make.conf file (which should be at /etc/portage/make.conf).
So if you want to enable that USE flag globally:
I'm guessing you want to enable it only for the specified kernel? If so, that's more manual. To do so, add a file in the directory /etc/portage/package.use/ with the following contents: | Code: | | sys-kernel/linux-firmware initramfs |
As to what you should name the file, that is up to you. I typically use the package name that is requiring the change. So in this instance, I would use /etc/portage/package.use/linux-firmware. This enables the initramfs USE flag for all versions of the sys-kernel/linux-firmware package, but ONLY for that package.
To then install the package for the first time you would use: | Code: | | emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware |
Subsequent updates should happen through updating @world.
