 Lunar | Has anyone modified base packages before? How much did you get away with removing? | 18:03:18 |
 nevoyu | New 12th gen CPU is in boys, just a 12400, but we're gonna setup Gentoo on this. Just grabbing the latest livegui (my new favorite install media btw thanks for bringing it back). | 18:16:55 |
 parona | In reply to@lunar:monero.socialYou wanna elaborate what you mean with base packages. like are you talking packages in @system or packages under the purview of the base project. for the latter ive modified but I wouldnt understand the reasoning for wanting to modify/removing packages from @system unless you are actually making some major changes from known profiles | 19:22:22 |
| Lunar | In reply to @parona:matrix.orgI refuse to elaborate | 19:22:46 |
| Lunar | jk, wanted to try to replace GNU coreutils and OpenRC | 19:22:54 |
| parona | well openrc isnt stricly a base package, virtual/servicemanager is and its satisfied by runit,systemd etc. changing it to anything not in it already would require just replacing it with your own version. | 19:26:55 |
| parona | coreutils would actually require you removing it from @system but then you would just make your profile (or you just modify the current used with /etc/portage/profile). but with replacing that you should look out if gnuism from coreutils binaries is expected by portage or any other build system | 19:28:59 |
| parona | * coreutils would actually require you removing it from @system but then you would just make your profile (or you just modify the current used with /etc/portage/profile). but with replacing that you should look out for gnuism from coreutils binaries is expected by portage or any other build system | 19:29:21 |

| Lunar | There are a few other minor things I want as well, we'll see how it turns out after hunting dependencies | 19:32:27 |
| parona | removing stuff from @system is easy, but avoiding other dependencies might block you still :D | 19:34:36 |
 inference | In reply to @lunar:monero.socialYou can replace coreutils? | 20:55:00 |
| Lunar | Yes | 20:55:09 |
| inference | I wanted to use BSD utils if that's possible. | 20:55:11 |
 /home/jacob | In reply to @inference:tchncs.deTho portage might stop working if you do (e.g. with busy box it might now work) | 21:14:13 |
 Niklaus 'vimja' Hofer | Hi guys. After lurking for a while, I finally have a question for you. I don't usually use display managers, but on that one new device I do. GDM in particular through the display-manager service which has been added to the default runlevel. For my initrd, I use dracut. This has worked fine so far - after bootup, GDM would appear and present a user selection screen. Neat. However, tonight I have installed plymouth and also recompiled gdm with USE=plymouth. Now, after boot, the TTY won't switch automatically anymore. That is to say, I end up on TTY1 but GDM is started on TTY7. How do I fix this? | 21:26:57 |
| parona | https://bugs.gentoo.org/453392 >2013 👀 | 21:35:09 |
| parona | this is the comment in the ebuild. the above is the bug id mentioned | 21:36:22 |
| parona | like the elogind solution sets it to vt7 while systemd is vt1. # TODO: Revisit together with startDM.sh and other xinit talks; also ignores plymouth possibility | 21:38:11 |
| parona | like my naive attempt would be to use vt1 as well. you can override meson options for ebuilds with MYMESONARGS env variable. so like MYMESONARGS="-Dinitial-vt=1" | 21:39:40 |
| parona | * like my naive attempt would be to use vt1 as well. you can override meson options for ebuilds with MYMESONARGS env variable. so like MYMESONARGS="-Dinitial-vt=1". im assuming you are using elogind | 21:40:02 |
| parona | * like my naive attempt would be to use vt1 as well. you can override meson options for ebuilds with MYMESONARGS env variable. so like MYMESONARGS="-Dinitial-vt=1". im assuming you are using elogind. keep in mind changing this would require modifying display-manager args as well (i think) | 21:41:13 |

| Niklaus 'vimja' Hofer | Huh. Thanks for the link. I think I'll try recompiling without the plymouth flag and see if that fixes the issue. To be honest I haven't quite understood what the plymouth integration does on gdm anyway... | 21:43:07 |
| Niklaus 'vimja' Hofer | Yeah, that pretty much did it. There is a noticeable gap now in between plymouth's animation stopping and gdm appearing, but nothing I would consider a problem. Just what I wanted :) | 21:57:40 |
 Shi Feng | lets replace gnu coreutils with plan 9 | 23:06:52 |
