[gentoo-user] after major upgrade questions remain

[gentoo-user] after major upgrade questions remain

[maxim wexler]

Hi group,

I did an emerge -uD world on a box with the 2.6.12
kernel on it via the 2005.1 livecd.

1)From the logs or perhaps an online doc I read that I
must "manage a static /dev or ensure udev starts on
boot. But how? There's no udev in init.d or conf.d.

2)The emerge process terminated with the message "
'slocate' renamed 'locate'." and to run 

#groupmod -n locate slocate. 

Which I did and was able to resume the process. Now in
the new system both man locate  and man slocate go to
the same file, slocate(1). So what was that all about?
It seemed important enough to shut the whole process
down.

3)Another message state with regard to glibc "upgrade
/etc/locales.build to /etc/local.gen then run
/etc/locals.build". Words to that effect. How the heck
do I do that?

Not sure if anyone responded to this yet, so with the fear of being redundant 
here it goes:

emerge -upDv sys-fs/udev

Hmm, I must have missed it out on my system (but it still works with the group 
named locate).

Copy the contents of one to the other and then run # locale-gen.  
My /etc/locale.gen shows:
=========================================
# /etc/locale.gen: list all of the locales you want to have on your system
#
# The format of each line:
# <locale> <charmap>
#
# Where <locale> is a locale located in /usr/share/i18n/locales/ and
# where <charmap> is a charmap located in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/.
#
# All blank lines and lines starting with # are ignored.
#
# For the default list of supported combinations, see the file:
# /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
#
# Whenever glibc is emerged, the locales listed here will be automatically
# rebuilt for you.  After updating this file, you can simply run `locale-gen`
# yourself instead of re-emerging glibc.

=========================================

HTH.

It was already emerged. Problem was CONFIG_UNIX was
set to <m> instead of <*>

All sorted.

Noticed that too.

Yeah, I noticed I had that file already so I just
ignored the rest of the message.

Now I note I have broken runlevels when I 

#rc-update show 

and also the console goes into sleep mode but won't
recover until I reboot. Time for some followup.
