bodiebill Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I would like to use multibootusb to install multiple bootable OS'es on one usb stick. For instance to be able to quickly compare systemd and OpenRC versions of GentooPlayer. Or to add Ubuntu to resize the GentooPlayer data partition. All from one stick. @antonellocaroli Do you think this could work with GentooPlayer? audio system Link to comment

bodiebill Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 thanks Filipe, So I used balenaEtcher to create a gentoo-systemd stick in the usual way. Then I resized the 3rd partition, keeping enough free space in the 4th partition. Next I used balenaEtcher to create a gentoo-OpenRC stick. However when I try to copy files (in Ubuntu) from this last stick I get errors that I have no permission to access or copy. What am I doing wrong? Or should I just mount the gentoo-OpenRC img (or img.xz ?) file and copy from there? audio system Link to comment
antonellocaroli Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 you have to mount the two partitions of the sticks with openrc ... (root and boot) you have to mount the created partition (ext4) as root cp -r /point-to-mount-root-openrc/* /point-to-mount-partition-ext4/ cp -r /point-to-mount-boot-openrc/* /point-to-mount-partition-ext4/boot/ GentooPlayer home Facebook Documentation Link to comment

Concerning the network bridge, I found these information (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_bridge).

bodiebill Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Promising! Will these improvements be added to a future version of GP64, or would gp-update do the trick? And do they apply to both versions: OpenRC and systemd? audio system Link to comment
bodiebill Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 On 1/5/2019 at 10:47 AM, bodiebill said: Today I tried both GentooPlay64 versions: the systemd and OpenRC ones. Apart from the init system the installations are the same with alsa 1.0.29, mpd and upmpdcli (for now without ramsystem). Comparing sound quality, the results are close together, but I do prefer the sound of the systemd version. It is more relaxed, more open (less compressed) and has tighter bass. The difference is subtle but noticeable and important for long listening. Almost two months after the above comparison, now that ramsystem is working well for me, and inspired by Filippo's post about the latest OpenRC version having an even smaller footprint than the systemd version in terms of running services/processes, I thought I'd revisit the comparison. The result for me is unchanged: I prefer the systemd version and will stick with it for now. Judging my ears only, not a difficult choice. antonellocaroli 1 audio system Link to comment
antonellocaroli Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 however I understood why the second system did not start ... we need to edit the fstab of the second system, like this: # <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass> #/dev/sda2 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2 /dev/sda4 / ext4 noatime 0 1 #/dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0 then: mount /boot grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg GentooPlayer home Facebook Documentation Link to comment
