Has anyone gotten Grub Customizer working in Gentoo? I found this in someone's personal overlay on Github but I can't figure out how to install it to my machine. I tried following these directions, creating an XML file ssmike_overlay.xml:
| Code: | <?xml version="1.0" ?>
<repositories version="1.0">
<repo priority="50" quality="experimental" status="unofficial">
<name>ssmikes-overlay</name>
<description>Ssmike provides grub-customizer for Gentoo</description>
<homepage>https://github.com/ssmike/overlay</homepage>
<owner>
<email></email>
</owner>
<source type="git">https://github.com/ssmike/overlay.git</source>
</repo>
</repositories>
|
...putting it in /var/lib/layman/ and then running:
| Code: | | layman -o ssmike_overlay.xml -f -a ssmikes-overlay |
(as described at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman#Basic_invocations).
but I get the error:
| Quote: | | "Exception: Overlay 'ssmikes-overlay' does not exist" |
.
Alternately I could try to compile from source manually but I don't know if my PC has all the prerequisite packages installed and that seems a messier solution anyway. So I was wondering if anyone else has gotten it working, and if so, how.
Fixed the tagged links, by removing unnecessary quotation marks. -- desultory |

Wrong place. Just put it anywhere in ~/.
