mircea_popescu: ok so basically so far
the situation's
that shinohai managed
to get
trinque's sig
to match on a rk but not an intel lappy, while diana_coman mod6 hanbot failed
to get it
to match on a diverse set of items (laptop, desktop, racked box).
shinohai: Nope, haven't posted
the build/ directory up yet. Probably will do so soon.

trinque: diana_coman: might I get a
tarball of your cuntoo build directory's present state?
shinohai: His sig matched in
that case, yes. Subsequent attempts on my i5 lappy have failed
to get matching sig.
mod6: mircea_popescu: indeed overripe now, point
taken, Sir.
mircea_popescu: i'm looking at
this with an eye
to eulora client also and so fucking following.
mircea_popescu: mod6 as a rule of
thumb, a
thing whatever it may be
that
took over a coupla hours of your
time's ripe for blog article by
the very nature of life expectancy.
mod6: anyway, I apologize for not reporting sooner, just
thought
that I could emerge victorious one of
these attempts. I'll stfu and go
to work on a blog with more deets.
mod6: i should also mention
that shinohai's working cuntoo is a APU box - not intel.
mircea_popescu not about
to pull a stink about it in
the instant case, obviously. but
the general config still is "wtf, can't use my own gentoo for
this, gotta use apple's cable ?"
mod6: on
the bright side, i
thought
that my inital new SSD i ordered for cuntoo was just bad in some way, so i went and bought another. so now i have a spare :]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's not my fossil gentoo outside of
the sense I plucked it out of
the wild for a lack of anything else
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno about you, but i am fucking suspicious as all hell of all
these "here's our matrix dot printer,
to use it here's
the matrix dot printer program".
mod6: but, again, maybe it's
this intel hardware. not sure.
mod6: i've actually been lucky enough
to have shinohai's ear
this whole
time
too, who actually has a working cuntoo.
mod6: i'll go
to work on a blog post,
this weekend. will
try
to capture all
the details.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider
this phd assemblyline we've made here : both mod6 and hanbot have sunk >1 hour into it with little
to show for.
mod6: just because I can't even get it
to boot, so just left
that aside for
the
time being.
mod6: i should add,
that my output genesis has never verified with his original sig, i admit
to not even
trying his new sig posted in his comment section.
mircea_popescu: well for one
thing he's waiting for some sig reproductions.
mircea_popescu: won't be
the end of
the world if we manage
to actually have a cuntoo in a few months.
mircea_popescu: after all,
the whole fucking point of "test
this" is
the "somebdoy other
than me" outlook. otherwise what, "worked for me" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't specifically know, but what she says is not without merit, "what's somebody other
than me supposed
to do???"
mircea_popescu: i'm guessing what we actually want here is
to get cuntoo ready already and
then just skip
this step altogether ; meanwhile sit unprotected
mircea_popescu: "transition phase", whatever, but
the point remains
that if we're going
to actually
take
the a) view
then something very much like what she's looking for ("i
took what looked like
the
tmsr official gentoo off
the foundation site") should also exist.

trinque, BingoBoingo no, i'm aware. nevertheless, wanted
to
try getting a gentoo on first, seeing how it's in fact needed, and perhaps
the general case of someone who isn't
this good friends with
this many experts is
to be explored.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-09 18:02 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: imho
there's not much educational value any moar in setting up ancient gentoo; it's obsoleted by cuntoo, and quite difficult
to revv up on acct of
the dead mirrors
mod6: yeah, im long overdue for a blog on
the
thing.
mod6: and a whole bunch of slight variants
trying
to unfuck
the
thing.
mod6: it has a name, 'trb-test1', a simple gentoo box
to run
trb
test builds.
mod6: right, i agree, so i don't
think it's ~cuntoo~ per se... but imagine
this. I've had gentoo running on
that hardware for nearly a year since i bought it.
mod6: well, I didn't want
to send people down rabbit holes, but now im at
the point where I
think I can't get any further with out more help.
mod6: Anyway, I
think it maybe just hates my iron for some unknown reason. Obviously, I leaving out a lot of details here, but i've
tried everything, different boot loaders, minor adjustments
to fstab, a working kernel, map and initrd from
the working gentoo (ON
THE SAME BOX)... a hand built initrd.
mod6: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable
to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
mod6: not 10 full days, but certainly 10 days of approx. 2 hour sessions each day. i've been hooking up null modem cables
to capture kernel panics... i've
taken
to hacking
trinque's scripts, just about everything
to
try
to conquer
this
type of error:
mod6: fwiw, I've been working on
trying
to get cuntoo working for 10 days.
BingoBoingo: hanbot: I still have
the image I wrote and other sticks up
to 16GB locally sourced without Uruguay pricing hitting
too hard
hanbot: doesn't seem
too rosy, either. (i just hope i didn't hose your install usb in
the process somewhere.)
hanbot: asciilifeform,
trinque, BingoBoingo no, i'm aware. nevertheless, wanted
to
try getting a gentoo on first, seeing how it's in fact needed, and perhaps
the general case of someone who isn't
this good friends with
this many experts is
to be explored.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Indeed. Yet I suspect doing a heathen gentoo on
the spinning disk will provide a valuable point of contrast Cuntoo.
There's 2 kinds of steps you can insert into a process beyond
the minimum. Educative ones where you explore
the space gathering experience which may be useful later.
The other kind are pure friction a la SOPS.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Seems like
the sort of
thing
that can save work later.
The supplied USB is a "live" image working off of a squashfs
trinque: yep, just needs a virgin disk. no need
to stand up another vanilla gentoo on
that disk first;
the bootstrapper handles everything else.
trinque: secondly,
the build expects you
to pass a whole block device (disk) upon which it will write a completely new partition scheme. you don't want
to do
this
to
the drive from which you booted.
trinque: hanbot:
two
things. one, you'll need
to build phf's vtools and have
that available in
the build environment.
the build wont generate a genesis.vpatch without it.
mircea_popescu: conceivably some context leakage by browser, i wouldn't fucking bother until we actually have a browser
that works.
mircea_popescu: i had "That
the probably only _truly_ random element in anyone’s life is
the order in which
they experience
things" selected.
