Gentoo Follow Up What A Bout Masked Software Still Impressed
Masked packages on Gentoo:
This means that the package has not been tested yet. It does not necessarily mean that the package does not work. It can be unmasked by accepting another architecture (or set of architectures) for the package. The following example shows how to tell Portage to accept the installation of the given package, under any keyword:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Knowledg...
Example I used:
Create the /etc/portage directory if it does not yet exist:
mkdir --parents /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords
OR:
mkdir -p /etc/portage
Example masked software:
sudo emerge -av games-fps/redeclipse
Returns:
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "games-fps/redeclipse" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
games-fps/redeclipse-2.0.0-r1::gentoo (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
2 angled brackets
As root: echo " games-fps/redeclipse ~amd64" }} /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/~amd64
Rerun: sudo emerge -av games-fps/redeclipse
quse -p thunar {--shows use flags
Using openrc init system:
rc-status show status info about runlevels
-a Show all runlevels and their services.
-l List all defined runlevels
ex:
default
boot
nonetwork
shutdown
sysinit
rc-status boot at boot up
rc-update add elongd boot {---enabling service at boot up)
rc-update add sshd default {---enabling service)
rc-update show
Still digging the journey called Gentoo. At this time I am seriously considering installing Gentoo on a better machine & make it a part of my daily drivers. There has been no hiccups or boil overs to change my opinion.
The chore is getting it all installed & tweaked to your/mine specs. Once that is done then Gentoo is just like all other OS's, keep it updated and go with the flow.
Thanks again for watching I very much appreciate it!
Archin On!!
