Upgrade Instructions/1.4-release
The goal of these instructions is to provide Funtoo Linux users with a reliable, consistent set of instructions for upgrading Funtoo Linux from 1.3 to 1.4. Please assist in ensuring that these instructions are complete, make changes to the page that are needed to make these instructions 100% reliable, and if the instructions seem to not work properly, please consider opening a bug at https://bugs.funtoo.org. Thank you!
Set Release and Sync
Use your favorite editor in /etc/ego.conf
, set the release to 1.4:
/etc/ego.conf
[global]
release = 1.4
Then, run ego sync
:
root # ego sync
Set gfxcard mix-ins and VIDEO_CARDS
In Funtoo Linux 1.4, the VIDEO_CARDS
make.conf
setting has been updated. If you have enabled the workstation
or desktop
profile, then Intel integrated graphics as well as Radeon graphics will be automatically enabled. To enable NVIDIA graphics, either proprietary or Open Source, you'll want to add either the gfxcard-nvidia
or gfxcard-nouveau
mix-in to your profile. See make.conf/VIDEO_CARDS for more information on these changes.
Another important change for NVIDIA proprietary graphics users -- a new package nvidia-kernel-modules
is now used to install the NVIDIA kernel modules. nvidia-drivers
will only install the userland components. To emerge both, emerge nvidia-kernel-modules
which will in turn pull in nvidia-drivers
. This is set up this way because it is possible to set up an NVIDIA-accelerated container (see [LXD/GPU Acceleration]) that needs nvidia-drivers
but not kernel modules.
Here is an example of how to add a mix-in to your profile:
root # epro mix-ins +gfxcard-nvidia === Enabled Profiles: === arch: x86-64bit build: current subarch: intel64-westmere flavor: desktop mix-ins: mediaformat-gfx-common mix-ins: gfxcard-nvidia >>> Set mix-in gfxcard-nvidia. Updating profiles at /etc/portage/make.profile/parent...
Upgrade Toolchain
Funtoo 1.4, gcc has been updated to 9.1.1 series by default, so lets take advantage of that, and also update binutils
and glibc
.
root # emerge -u1 gcc root # emerge -u1 binutils root # binutils-config -l root # binutils-config 3 (or whatever number corresponds to version 2.32) root # emerge -u1 glibc
Upgrade Perl
Perl has been updated to 5.28, and it is good to update this next:
root # emerge dev-lang/perl --jobs=3 root # perl-cleaner --all
World Update
At this point, you should be all set to perform a world update:
root # emerge -auDN @world --jobs=3
Finishing Steps
The default Python interpreter in 1.4 is now 3.7, and you will want to set it to be the default python3 interpreter, remove python 3.6, and then perform a preserved-rebuild to rebuild any python modules to no longer include 3.6 support now that it is no longer installed:
root # eselect python set --python3 python3.7 root # emerge -C =dev-lang/python-3.6* root # emerge @preserved-rebuild
If you are using debian-sources-lts
, it has now been updated to 4.19.37_p6. Edit /etc/boot.conf
as necessary and run ego boot update
to ensure the new kernel is booted upon next system startup.
root # ego boot update
etc-update and Reboot
Before rebooting, it is a good idea to run etc-update
to apply updates to any configuration files that require updating:
root # etc-update
Now, you should be able to reboot into Funtoo Linux 1.4:
root # reboot
Enjoy!
