Firestorm ?  Just comments.  But maybe you were being humorous.


Actually, facetious ;-)




Anyway, thanks to help from here, I am now sitting at Chapter 8.3. Wondering
and debating a couple of things.

The debate is whether to change out the default Tux logo with one of mine
own, and what to use.


I would suggest that you first boot the system to make sure it
works.  After that, play with the logo when you next update the
kernel (except on production servers, frequent kernel updates are
good IMHO but always carry a risk of breakage).

Also, on modern software the default Tux only appears briefly.  On
my haswell i7 I see it for a few seconds during boots and during
resume from hibernation.  On machines which need a lot of firmware
for the graphics (amdgpu, R600) I now put that firmware in
/lib/firmware for late-loading rather than waste RAM in the kernel.
But this means that I rarely see the logo.

ĸen



I went ahead and just built it. It sort of booted with a Kernel panic.

It was easy to find out why.  I had built it on a flash drive then tried 
to boot it.  There should be a section/caveat  on the now popular option 
of booting off a USB flash drives.


Thanks again!

Why?  The only advantage Mint has over any other distro is its desktop.  For 
building LFS that is irrelevant, even something of a disadvantage!  All the 
instructions in the book are bash commands.  At best you'll be working in a 
terminal emulator, where you'll have X, the desktop, and the emulator stealing 
processor power and adding a possible source of interference, contamination and 
confusion.  The closer you can get to "bare iron" the better off you'll be, out 
of X and at the bash command line.  That means no "cut and paste".

As I wrote before, I recommend doing all that "in preparation", making bash 
scripts for each package.  I spend *weeks* doing that for both LFS and BLFS 
before building any package, even laying down the root directory tree.  (There 
are 418 scripts in my build directory for this system.  (I put a sequence 
number in each name to keep it straight which one comes next.))  After all, 
once you build LFS, you'll want to boot it to build all the BLFS packages in 
your pure, clean, uncontaminated LFS, and it'll be a long time before you'll 
have X!  It's like being a cook in a Chinese restaurant--they spend hours 
preparing ingredients, *before* they blast flame at a wok, heat oil, dump in 
ingredients and stir like mad, cooking each dish in just a minute or so.

When I have to go back and startover, which STILL can happen, it's *WAY* faster 
than cut and paste, and provides perfect documentation how the system was 
built--both great advantages!

If you "like" Mint for building LFS, you've already started on the wrong foot.

Re: [lfs-support] Bash: /usr/{literally everything}: no such file or directory

[Douglas R. Reno]

On 10/14/19 2:06 PM, Jared Stevens wrote:


We need to address the "no such file or directory" problem first.
Can you run:

ldd /bin/ls

Please and get back to us with the results? What you should get
(used on an SVN system):

renodr [ /sources ]$ ldd /bin/ls
    linux-vdso.so.1 (0x7ffe3b1e8000)
    libcap.so.2 => /lib/libcap.so.2 (0x7fcfff8c)

    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7fcfff8e2000)

I believe that your glibc installation might be corrupt. If your
glibc install is corrupt, try using this:

sln libc-2.30.so  /lib/libc.so.6

And then running 'ldconfig'.

We've made some progress!

So the initial output of *'ldd /bin/ls'* was:

*bash: /usr/bin/ldd : /bin/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or 
directory*


And the output of '*sin libc-2.30.so  
/lib/libc.so.6'* was:


*bash: sin: command not found*

Regardless, I ran the*'ldconfig' *command anyways and after a brief 
pause was given the following output:


*ldconfig: Cannot mmap file /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so*

HOWEVER, following this command I was finally able to run commands in 
the /bin directory once again (such as 'ls'), and the output of*'ldd 
/bin/ls'* changed to:


*linux-vdso.so.1 (0x7ffea7f1a000)
libcap.so.2 => /lib/libcap.so.2 (0x7f1b55ef5000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x7f1b55d31000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7f1b55f1f000)*

Unfortunately, the 'sin' command still outputs the same result. So now 
it appears there is an issue with the libdbus file.


My PATH variable was also restored to how it was before these events 
took place:


*PATH=/opt/rustc/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/ant/bin:/opt/jdk/bin:/opt/qt5/bin*

So while everything but that one error with libdbus looks back to 
normal for the moment, I am afraid to try and install (or reinstall) 
anything or change any file locations or settings until I know for 
sure this issue is resolved.


What would you recommend my next steps going forward should be to fix 
libdbus and ensure this issue has been fixed? Furthermore, as I have 
made it this far and you have the experience, what should I do to 
finish the transition from System V to systemd smoothly to avoid 
another potential catastrophe such as this?


As for the dbus problem, try running:

ln -sv ../../lib/libdbus-1.so.3.19.11 /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so

Make sure that you have that library in /lib first

As for some further advice on the sysv to systemd transition, be 
prepared to rebuild X from scratch. You might encounter problems if 
ConsoleKit is installed too. If you have elogind installed, please 
uninstall it. You'll want to rebuild Xorg Libraries, Xorg Applications, 
and xorg-server at minimum (and that should do the trick...)

Thank you for the clarification. I ran the two commands as specified.
However, I still receive the error about not being able to mmap
libdbus-1.so.

I even went through and reinstalled dbus-1.12.16 (according to the BLFS
instructions not LFS as I had the necessary dependencies), yet the message
still displays when running ldconfig.

The good news is that the issue did not manifest itself again after logging
out and reentering the chroot environment. Whether or not the issue is
truly resolved however will likely depend on how it acts once I am able to
boot into the system again. (I am experiencing a separate issue with GRUB
not being loaded/detected on boot despite the boot option appearing in my
PC BIOS).

Any suggestions to resolving the libdbus error and completing the
transition from System V to systemd? I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks,

Jared

The basic problem is modern anti-spam attempts which conflict badly
with traditional mailing list software (DKIM etc).  And changes tend
to have side-effects.

I would suggest that you first boot the system to make sure it
works.  After that, play with the logo when you next update the
kernel (except on production servers, frequent kernel updates are
good IMHO but always carry a risk of breakage).

Also, on modern software the default Tux only appears briefly.  On
my haswell i7 I see it for a few seconds during boots and during
resume from hibernation.  On machines which need a lot of firmware
for the graphics (amdgpu, R600) I now put that firmware in
/lib/firmware for late-loading rather than waste RAM in the kernel.
But this means that I rarely see the logo.

+1 to this.  And Marty, when you include somebody else's text
*please* can you quote it ('>' or even '|' at the start of each
line) to make it easier for people to see who wrote what.

In decent text mailers the different levels of quoting get
highlighted in different colours.  That helps clarify *who* wrote
what when multiple people are contributing to the thread.

Re: [lfs-support] Bash: /usr/{literally everything}: no such file or directory

So I have little doubt that I have somehow managed to completely ruin 
my LFS build and will likely have to start all over again (for what 
will be the fourth time). I figured I would throw one last Hail Mary 
and ask in here for any suggestions, however, before giving up on 
two/three weeks of hard work.


So just a little backstory, I initially built my LFS system using the 
*System V *version of the book. I was able to boot and had made 
progress all the way up to Xorg.


However, I was having issues with getting certain modules/services to 
load and run properly on my system, and having no experience 
whatsoever with System V (only systemd in my past experiences with 
Linux), I decided to see if I could*switch my system over to systemd.*


Initially, there weren't any problems. I was able to install 
Systemd-241 no problem, and I moved the rc.d and init.d directories 
elsewhere to hopefully prevent any old scripts from being called.


Of course this now meant that I had to reinstall certain programs and 
their systemd symlinks as opposed to the System V bootscripts. I had 
been doing this for most of the day today with little issue.


While I was looking back over previously installed programs for 
changes from System V to systemd, I noticed the section in LFS's 
Glibc-230 install where it calls for _systemd support files for 
_*_nscd_, *which were not installed when I initially built Glibc-230.


Here is where I made my first mistake: to install the support files 
for *nscd*, I assumed I would have to re-make the *GLibc* package and 
install them. So to follow the LFS book's commands properly (where it 
uses "CC="gcc -ffile-prefix-map=/tools=/usr" before the configure) I 
extracted my saved "tools" directory I had saved from the build back 
into my LFS build in chroot and reran the configure, make, and make 
check commands for GLibc.


To avoid potential problems and because my existing GLibc install was 
working fine, however, I did NOT run "make install." Instead, I ran 
just the install commands for nscd as follows:


install -v -Dm644 ../nscd/nscd.tmpfiles
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/nscd.conf
install -v -Dm644 ../nscd/nscd.service
/lib/systemd/system/nscd.service

Afterwards, I removed the GLibc directory and attempted to continue 
with my transfer to systemd. However, this is when all hell broke loose.


Now, whenever I enter the chroot environment (haven't even tried 
booting the thing because I doubt I could), although I can login as 
root and mount all of the disk partitions properly, Bash cannot find 
absolutely anything in the /usr, /sbin, or /bin directories any longer.


For example, I will receive the following error for simple commands 
such as 'ls':


bash: /bin/ls: No such file or directory

This is despite the fact that such file DOES in fact exist. Assuming I 
had messed up my $PATH variable, I tried restoring it by executing:


export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

However, this did not fix my issue. I tried retracing my steps in LFS 
to see if a symlink was broken or something, but even though I can run 
'ls' and other commands when running off of the /tools bash symlink, 
attempts at running the normal bash is completely broken.


I haven't the slightest clue what I did wrong to affect Bash during 
the GLibc systemd attempted fix as I never touched bash until after 
the problem manifested (I may have made it worse while trying to fix 
it, however). Furthermore, I never overwrote my existing GLibc install.


I appreciate any suggestions that may help with my problem. I also 
accept if I have managed to royally destroy my build and would be 
better off starting over again as well.


Hi Jared,

Firstly, I don't recommend moving from SysV to systemd on the same 
build, however it is possible and I used to do it. We need to address 
the "no such file or directory" problem first. Can you run:


ldd /bin/ls

Please and get back to us with the results? What you should get (used on 
an SVN system):


renodr [ /sources ]$ ldd /bin/ls
    linux-vdso.so.1 (0x7ffe3b1e8000)
    libcap.so.2 => /lib/libcap.so.2 (0x7fcfff8c)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x7fcfff6fc000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7fcfff8e2000)

I believe that your glibc installation might be corrupt. If your glibc 
install is corrupt, try using this:


sln libc-2.30.so /lib/libc.so.6

And then running 'ldconfig'.


The reason why this might fix it is that 'sln' is linked statically so 
that you can use it in the event that the dynamic linker is not 
available or functioning properly. It was written to fix broken glibc 
installations so that you're not stuck completely rebuilding your system.

I am sure you will get better responses from others later, but my 1/2 
cent here is.


I was just reading something the other day to the effect of once you 
start messing with those libraries/library folders, you will have to 
rebuild every application which depend on those libraries.


You may want to start again. The current one I am building of version 9, 
I have rebuilt about five times already within the past week. What I 
have done is copied all the commands into a text file as I am building 
it. Yes, sometimes there are mistakes in it which I do find later which 
is partially the reason for building multiple times.


This has allowed me to make sections into scripts once I know there are 
no more mistakes/errors in it. Run it and go do other things.

Re: [lfs-support] Gcc Compiling Problem in 32 bit

Why?  The only advantage Mint has over any other distro is its desktop.  For 
building LFS that is irrelevant, even something of a disadvantage!  All the 
instructions in the book are bash commands.  At best you'll be working in a 
terminal emulator, where you'll have X, the desktop, and the emulator stealing 
processor power and adding a possible source of interference, contamination and 
confusion.  The closer you can get to "bare iron" the better off you'll be, out 
of X and at the bash command line.  That means no "cut and paste".

As I wrote before, I recommend doing all that "in preparation", making bash 
scripts for each package.  I spend *weeks* doing that for both LFS and BLFS 
before building any package, even laying down the root directory tree.  (There 
are 418 scripts in my build directory for this system.  (I put a sequence 
number in each name to keep it straight which one comes next.))  After all, 
once you build LFS, you'll want to boot it to build all the BLFS packages in 
your pure, clean, uncontaminated LFS, and it'll be a long time before you'll 
have X!  It's like being a cook in a Chinese restaurant--they spend hours 
preparing ingredients, *before* they blast flame at a wok, heat oil, dump in 
ingredients and stir like mad, cooking each dish in just a minute or so.

When I have to go back and startover, which STILL can happen, it's *WAY* faster 
than cut and paste, and provides perfect documentation how the system was 
built--both great advantages!

If you "like" Mint for building LFS, you've already started on the wrong foot.
