Oh the wiki page instructed me to configure systemd before enabling it .. 
weird.

Ok after reading your mail I looked into my fstab and tried disabling 
everything one by one. Turns out this line in my fstab was the culprit.

#tmp in ram
none /tmp tmpfs defaults 1 2

Found this bug report [1] and so I changed the above entry to 

#tmp in ram
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 

works fine now. Like the fast boot and shut down.

Thanks for the hint.

This will only work if you boot into systemd. Otherwise it doesn't.

Can I see your kernel command line as specified in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
(or /boot/grub2/grub.cfg)? The whole GRUB config would be useful.

Also, a cat /etc/fstab should shed some light on the issue.

First off, thanks for the report!
I've pushed the fix this morning, so it should already be on mirrors:

Another note: you are mixing stable (opengl) and unstable (ghc) packages.
It is usually fine, but in order to use anything from overlay you'll
need to set unstable keywords for packages there.

https://github.com/gentoo-haskell/gentoo-haskell/blob/master/README.rst

Probably those are HDMI and 'normal' device. I had similar problems on my
sister's PC.

My solution was to edit /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf, and change
defaults.ctl.card and defaults.pcm.card from 0 to 1. Add this file to
CONFIG_PROTECT in make.conf, or else the next alsa update will overwrite
the file.

Do you want to try again to make one from scratch?

If you're not using LVM or RAID for root or /usr and you compile your
filesystem into the kernel then it's very simple and should be about
a five line (tops) init script (and even if those don't hold for you,
it's not that much tougher.)

If you spend the time now to do it yourself I think you'll find you have
the tools and knowledge to track down any problems later.

If you're willing to try again, I'm willing to work with you.

If you can find your hand-rolled initramfs and the errors you were
having we can figure it out.

And for the record.  I hate this whole /usr must be mounted in an
initramfs or on /.  It seems that all these arguments about bluetooth
keyboards and such have it all exactly bass ackwards.  If you have some
flavor of hardware that isn't supported in the base kernel then you
should be creating an initramfs for support.

But I can't argue with people who donate their time getting to work on
what they want to and supporting only what they want to.

And I'm not ready to make and maintain an overlay that doesn't require
this so it's time for me to stop gnashing my teeth and suck it up and get
on with life.

Todd

P.S. - If you don't want to get an hand-rolled initramfs working, it
would be interesting to see what an ls -lr /dev shows for the cases
where everything works for you and where it doesn't.

That's the HDMI output of your integrated GPU. All AMD graphics, 
including the APU you have, come with integrated HDMI Audio.

This is the one you have to use for laptop audio.

I think you have to make the second one the default audio device. 
Possibly by editing the alsa.conf files found in /etc/modprobe.d and 
/usr/share/alsa. This thread may help :

The machine in question is not currently running an initramfs.  This
one reason why the udev developers believe that having /usr physically
separate from / is "broken".

No error messages from udev or any of its scripts are logged.  Perhaps
dmesg logging is "broken" too.

Yes, it is a chore, debugging an initramfs.

[gentoo-user] Systemd systemctl : Failed to get D-Bus connection

2012-03-30 Thread Yohan Pereira
Hi,
Wanted to see whats all the fuss about so I tried installing Systemd on 
a 
laptop. following the guide on wiki.gentoo.org [1]. 

But I am having trouble running systemctl to configure the services I want 
started. Heres what I get (both as root and as a normal user).

# systemctl --all --full
Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager.

I know Dbus is running for sure.

$ ps ax | grep dbus
 2094 ?Ss 0:09 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system
 2803 ?S  0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-
session
 2804 ?Ss 0:06 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-
address 7 --session

I tried booting with systemd to see what happens. It starts booting fine up to 
the point where it starts mounting the partitions. It just stops after 
mounting my /home partition. Nothing works at this point apart from a hard 
reboot. My partitioning is simple separate partitions for boot, home, root and 
the portage tree (all ext4). No separate /usr (phew). Also I do not have an 
initramfs.

What am I missing? do I need to modify any of the systemd config files? etc?


Here are the details of some of the packages.
 
sys-fs/udev-182-r2 (gudev hwdb keymap openrc rule_generator -build -debug -doc 
-floppy -introspection -selinux -static-libs)

sys-apps/systemd-43 (acl pam tcpd -audit -cryptsetup -gtk -lzma -plymouth -
selinux)

I'm not saying it is or isn't.

I just don't understand why "not upgrading for a while" is given as an
option considering the issues people will encounter when they try
upgrading a Gentoo installation that hasn't been updated in a long time.
