| + | |||
| + | ==== USE flags == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use flags are in the ''USE'' variable located at ''/etc/portage/make.conf''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After changing the USE flags, use this command to recompile all the packages to reflect the new flags: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | emerge --update --newuse --deep --quiet @world | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Rebuild the Kernel on Gentoo == | ||
| * You'll want to cd to ''/usr/src/linux-<version>-gentoo'' | * You'll want to cd to ''/usr/src/linux-<version>-gentoo'' | ||
| Line 5: | Line 21: | ||
| * Run ''make -j$TC && make -j$TC moddules_install && make install'' (where ''$TC'' is the thread count, i.e. the number of cores in your CPU+1) | * Run ''make -j$TC && make -j$TC moddules_install && make install'' (where ''$TC'' is the thread count, i.e. the number of cores in your CPU+1) | ||
| * Update grub with ''grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg'' | * Update grub with ''grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg'' | ||
| + | * Lastly, use ''genkernel initramfs'' to update your ''initramfs'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== zsh == | ||
| + | |||
| + | ''emerge app-shells/zsh'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | You'll also want to install the ''app-shells/zsh-completions'' package too. Add the following to ''~/.zshrc'' to enable those additional completions: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | autoload -U compinit promptinit | ||
| + | compinit | ||
| + | promptinit; prompt gentoo | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== xdm/sddm == | ||
| + | |||
| + | ''sddb'' stands for Simple Desktop Display Manager and provides us with a login screen and runs as a daemon. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use the command ''/etc/init.d/xdm restart'' to restart xdm/sddm. (TBH I'm not entirely sure what the relationship is between these two components.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Searching for portage packages == | ||
| + | |||
| + | ''eix'' is a useful command for searching portage packages. Install it with ''sudo emerge app-portage/eix``. | ||
| + | |||
