This channel is an outlet for my experience with Linux (and other tech related subjects). I decided to do this to give back to the wider community. If you've found something useful here please comment as such. I'd love to hear how you found it helpful. Subscribe to my channel and get to hear about my latest videos when I publish them.
Producing new content takes a lot of my time and I try to answer as many queries as possible. Unfortunately I am unable to respond as quickly (if at all) to questions as I once was. Please don't feel offended if I am slow to reply or you get no reply at all. If you are stuck and in desperate need for assistance, it may be quicker to seek help from official help channels (that will certainly be more knowledgeable than me!), e.g LFS, Gentoo, Ubuntu, etc.

Do i need to create the src archive dir?
First thanks a lot you are doing a great work I'm facing a problem whenever i compile gcc my pc freeze then it fails, what should i do
The single biggest question I have right now is....are you talking about OpenZFS or Oracle ZFS and what are the actual differences?
As the title of the series suggests it's just about ZFS in general. I didn't want to commit to a particular implementation, though through necessity my demonstrations in later videos are based on OpenZFS in Gentoo.
Thanks for the videos, can i ask you how you use konsol and Falkon GUI in the LFS pls ?
Yes I use an SSH session to the remote PC which has LFS 12.0 on it as well as the SSH server running to accept the connection.
14:35 this is when it actually starts for those that just want to get into it
wget-list-sysv responded back with 404 not found, any other ways to wget it? *edit: i fixed it just to remove "-sysv" at the end and it works *edit 2: expat-2.6.0.tar.xz has been marked as vulnerable, should i use 2.6.2 instead?
Yes I got the same error: attempt to read or write outside of partition. Did you ever fix the error?
I reinstalled using ext4 instead of xfs. Now the above error does not appear.
Thanks for mentioning this @Matt-qu5vc I didn't find a fix, but like you I re-installed using ext4 and the message didn't appear.
I have been watching all of your videos. Please keep going as I have learned so much. Thank you!!! :)
Thank you! Will do!
Agree! Thank you Kernotex.
It took me 3 days until I finished my first kernel customization.
so it could be a version mismatch where if you work out the depends tree and emerge as a emptytree should fix its if it built in the first place it would be there especially being something rather up there like gwenview ive ***haaaad that happen but it's nothing that didn't work itself out but that's pretty amazing someone figured out how to do that just another measure of control over something elsewise we wouldn't see is it can be qts version llvms version qmakes version gccs version clangs version anything literally because they flip and flop switches each different releases they do i got one though its ha ha we get vulkan they don't
Obrigado pelo vídeo!
I've been putting off moving to Gentoo for the longest time, but this is a sign from God / the universe.
Gentoo! Thank you.
thanks alot for making a gentoo tutorial
thanks a lot, please make one for BLFS 12.1, i cant do everything with terminal only. Or is BLFS 12.0 series enough ?
Yes you could use BLFS 12.0 as a guide.
Wouldn't it be better to use the live boot of gentoo just like lfs to build blfs considering I have only wireless network access
It should be possible. However some things might not build or test properly in chroot environment, besides which the idea of BLFS not built on LFS seems against the grain. If you need some hints getting WiFi going in LFS, I recorded a short series of videos about this: kzread.info/head/PLyc5xVO2uDsDIBxKX5wSEPaO9A6-A0imf Note that you'll still need BLFS to complete this.
@@Kernotex watched more videos of yours since then and found a way to use ssh instead. Thanks for the reply 🤝
so weird, although I'm building LFS 12.1 just like you they changed chapter 9's structure completely, making it look much different then what is seen in your screen
this is the first time i've seen a tutorial beeing conscious about the youtube time overlay obstructing the view ! Thanks a lot for the amazing tutorial !
You're very welcome!
Thanks that was interesting. A suggestion: continue on using JHALFS to build a working desktop. I've found using JHALFS to build BLFS to be straight forward once you feel comfortable using JHALFS to build LFS.
Thanks @Matt-qu5vc, yes I do want to have a go with BLFS on JHALFS.
I'm starting my journey with 12.1 as well. A thumbs up and good luck from me.
I have installed LFS two times in my life (with several more failed attempts), and now I am doing it again. LFS is Gentoo for people with a lot of spare time.
can you tell where you failed ?
@@sagarsrivastava8238 Kernel panic when booting the finished LFS system. Probably because I have no idea how to configure the kernel.
I have a problem, after i typed wget-list-systemd it's stuck with 27%
There's probably an issue with the remote server. Tray again later or try a mirror to get that file.
will this work with linux from scratch 12.1?
Almost certainly, just follow the instructions here to setup VirtualBox then follow the build videos for 12.1 kzread.info/head/PLyc5xVO2uDsCKdz6-Ojah0o-ZTqGE7HEX making any necessary changes for VirtualBox.
@@Kernotex will do. cheers m8 👍
the good thing about your videos is that we also learn how to deal with mistakes. Thank you for the helpful videos!
I'm glad my mistakes helped you!
everything was going great till I got to this section then.. it was bad.. I'll start from the beginning another time
How to do this on android
Always get the ublock for firefox. YT is virtually broken without that.
Are you back to LFS? I thought you only use Gentoo now
can you do a tutorial how to create your own desktop environment like kde? or is that too much?
🥹👍
Great work. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Make LILO Great Again!
why did you create a file system of type ext4 in the boot partition while they recommend ext2 for boot in the book ?
Personal preference. My idea is that the boot files are critical to getting the system started so I try to mitigate any potential hazards: 1. I prefer to have a separate boot partition and not automount it ('noauto' in fstab) so those files are 'hidden' except when required by performing a manual mount. 2. ext3/4 are journalled file systems whereas ext2 is not. In the event of an unsafe dismount of the boot partition or something else unexpected happens, a file system check will replay the journal and more often than not it does a good job of putting the file system back to a sane state. ext2 has no such protection. The only downside is that the journal occupies what would otherwise be free space but given the usual boot partition size and the cheap cost of storage (for that size partition at least) it's not even worth worrying about.
the legendary BLFS 9.1 series, I am currently installing the bare minimum to get a simple wayland window manager and a terminal emulator working in BLFS 12.1
i got it working my next goal is getting firefox running
I've just started with BLFS-12.1 and found your playlist. Amazing.. I am going to watch now. Thanks.
Good luck with your build, there shouldn't be too many significant differences between BLFS 12.0 and 12.1 other than version uplifts.
Thanks for the great work. Didn't You manipulate a 't' into a 'u'? If so, why did You look for a 'v' in the data being altered?
You're right! I remember being confused about this at the time and must have lost my train of thought. Looking back it's a tricky thing to try and observe a single bit flip. I think I would try and come up with a better way of demonstrating the bit change (if possible) next time.
too much talking, such little instructions
Hey, just wanted to say thanks. This series has been by FAR the best way to learn ZFS I've seen.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm having some difficulties at this stage. Can someone help me? In short, Idk to make partitions. (Yes, I know what he explains in the video, but I only have 1 storage unit available, which is my operating system) Disk /dev/sdb: 223.57 GiB, 240057409536 bytes, 468862128 sectors Disk model: KINGSTON SA400S3 Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 8A93E243-EC3C-4BB6-817B-E4166D73C99E Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sdb1 2048 1050623 1048576 512M EFI System /dev/sdb2 1050624 42993663 41943040 20G Linux filesystem /dev/sdb3 42993664 468860927 425867264 203.1G Linux filesystem
You could install to a USB storage device and mount that as the $LFS partition if you didn't want to make changes to your system disk. I covered building LFS on a bootable USB here: kzread.info/head/PLyc5xVO2uDsCCsisiiWrZJgnHmK18Mr7j Or use a live CD/USB to boot from and used GParted to shrink your /dev/sdb3 partition but make sure you have backups in case this goes wrong. Then create a new /dev/sdb4 with the space you have left.
While i trying to build the kde5 framework it said libqt5x11extras5-dev 5.15.12 config missing or some stuff
The series itself is good, but the intro makes my ears hurt
Thank you. You did well.
It's very useful that you showed the flipping bit example and how it's detected. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!! You're help me with lfs!
You're welcome!
If you're still using Windows in 2024 there's something wrong with you. I'm not even spouting fan boy nonsense. I'm talking about things like Recall, and Microsofts persistent spyware. I had to swallow a melon, and ditch the software I relied on in Windows. People need to make a stand, and educate others on why they shouldn't be using Windows today (or any platform that abuses private data). Other than that, fantastic series. I'm following along with the documentation. Very helpful videos.
Yeah I’m gonna have to disagree, I think what your saying is totally valid and I really love Linux and using Linux too but the all have pros and cons. Linux is super amazing (dare I say the best) but it can seem daunting to someone just coming into it, macOS is super high powered but it’s locked in a paywall, windows is super easy to use for some people but it’s bloatware and spyware. What I’m saying is that there’s nothing really wrong with someone who’s using windows (and I’m saying this as a Linux user) because in a lot of cases people get super scared of change or, in my experience, really just don’t know any alternative. Saying stuff like that really just pushes people away in my opinion because it makes them defensive about windows
@@user-oc5qq8hd7zWell it’s logical for us to release some anger towards people (even tho it’s not right) mainly because they are the reason open-source and safe software, free of bloat is not existent, because they keep feeding the big corporations money and most software is not available to Linux because of that (Because it’s not profitable for the company). Emulation tools like Wine have advanced significantly and most of the apps that someone would want to use are available, but there’s always that one pesky app that isn’t available or isn’t working correctly and ect. I don’t know, I just feel like if people weren’t so scared of a little terminal that at this point they don’t even need to touch corporations wouldn’t have got that much advantage of off them
I'm 3 days into compiling kernel with binderfs support for android emulation. Absolute hell. I've had to fork binderfs and work on updating it with newer kernels as it's not compatible. What started off as a simple idea, has turned into a rabbit hole adventure. Luckily I've nothing else to do in life right now, so it's keeping me busy.
Thank you very much for taking the time to create the beginner's guide to zfs. Helped me out greatly on configuring it with my homelab. Hope to use it in production at some point.
You're welcome and that's great to hear you've put your new knowledge to use.
Thank you for this very interesting videos. Lacking of old hardware I used debian 2.1 on qemu. After fixing the driver for the network card rtl8139 everything worked fine.
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it.
sir if i missing perl and python how can i solve that?
if you continue without these packages, you may face some problems in the future processes. If you chroot into subsystem without these packages already, just exit from chroot, unmount everything, build packages and redo the related package chapters.
(first time doing LFS) my ```make check``` had 16 FAIL(s) and i don't understand if it's supposed to do that or not, because I also applied this patch inuxfromscratch(dot)org/blfs/advisories/consolidated.html#sa-12.1-037 and i think it might have something to do with that. Do you know if the patch in question has something to do with these fails? I was just following the guide, but now when googling I've found your videos. Thank you so much FAIL: iconv/tst-iconv_prog FAIL: io/tst-lchmod FAIL: nss/tst-nss-files-hosts-getent FAIL: stdio-common/test-vfprintf FAIL: stdio-common/tst-scanf-binary-c11 FAIL: stdio-common/tst-scanf-binary-c2x FAIL: stdio-common/tst-scanf-binary-gnu11 FAIL: stdio-common/tst-scanf-binary-gnu89 FAIL: stdlib/test-bz22786 FAIL: stdlib/tst-strfmon_l FAIL: stdlib/tst-strfrom FAIL: stdlib/tst-strfrom-locale FAIL: string/test-strncasecmp
It's possible. If you are concerned that the patch is causing the errors then try building and testing without the patch and compare the results. I don't recognise some of those failures off-hand so there might be a problem.
