My Gentoo install notes. These are some of the problem I had following the handbook.

(chroot) livecd / # emerge --ask sys-kernel/genkernel

* IMPORTANT: 13 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'. * Use eselect news read to view new items.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N     ] app-arch/cpio-2.12-r1  USE="nls" [ebuild N     ] sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20180730  USE="-savedconfig" [ebuild N     ] virtual/libudev-232  USE="-static-libs -systemd" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" [ebuild  R    ] sys-apps/util-linux-2.32-r4  USE="static-libs* udev*" [ebuild N     ] sys-kernel/genkernel-3.5.3.3  USE="firmware -cryptsetup (-ibm) (-selinux)"

The following USE changes are necessary to proceed: (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details) >=sys-apps/util-linux-2.32-r4 static-libs
 * 1) required by sys-kernel/genkernel-3.5.3.3::gentoo
 * 2) required by sys-kernel/genkernel (argument)

Would you like to add these changes to your config files? [Yes/No] n (chroot) livecd / #

Ran it again, said Yes and then:

dispatch-conf

That fixed genkernel

And it built!

XOrg Problems
Took awhile to get X working. Had help from the DE Fourm 'Problems with getting X to work'. Fixed it by using Kernel 14.18.5

Mouse USB setting needed to be changed in the Kernel too

Printing Problems
hplip can't find my ppd file automatically - picked it manually

dbus and cups were not starting automatically

Printing is still not working. Not sure if it is Kernel, CUPS, or driver issues. I haven't gotten it to work on KDE Neon either, though for different reasons. On KDE the HPLIP versions I need conflicts with other packages, on Gentoo, I can get HPLIP but something is wrong.

Removed en_US iso-8859 from locale, not sure why it was there. Now cups gets:

E [09/Sep/2018:01:28:36 -0700] [CGI] Unable to execute ippfind utility: No such file or directory W [09/Sep/2018:01:29:17 -0700] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.Colo rManager was not provided by any .service files W [09/Sep/2018:01:29:17 -0700] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.Colo rManager was not provided by any .service files W [09/Sep/2018:01:29:17 -0700] CreateDevice failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.Color Manager was not provided by any .service files

Removing iso-8859 had other effects too. Prior to removal hp-setup would not find the ppd file (see above), i had to manually select it. With iso-8859 gone hp-setup finds it automatically. Not sure why. Also I now sometimes get warnings about locale problem with other applications.

The ippfind problem was fix by building cups with zeroconf (Bug 610086). Now jobs can be added to the print queue, but they still don't print. The HP utilities say it is a device communication error.

I hooked the printer up through USB and got it to work.

I installed colord to get try to get rid of some of the cups warning. It looks like there are fewer warnings.

Network printing still doesn't work.

I got scanning to work (over USB). That wasn't too hard, just had to follow the instruction on the HPLIP wiki. But the first time I tried to scan, a dialog popped up saying it needed some propriety drivers, I clicked through, installed them (outside of portage), and it worked.

Fixed network printing by changing the printer itself to use DHCP to get its IP address.

Desktop stuff
Somehow I managed to break KDE while trying to get the printer working (I think it is the print icon in the tray but not sure)

Been playing with other desktops. Fluxbox, Awesome and i3. Fluxbox seems straight forward. i3 would take some time to get used to. On Awesome at the moment. They were all easy to set up though something isn't right in i3.

SDDM fixed KDE. Before I was starting it with startx which worked until I turned dbus on. One strange thing is that with SDDM, the background of fluxbox, twm, and i3 don't ever refresh. Dragging windows around leaves ghosts. startx doesn't have that problem.
