The reason I want to exclude this is because after I ran: sudo tar -cvf ps4linux.tar.xz --exclude=/ps4linux.tar.xz --exclude=/var/cache --one-file-system / -I "xz -9" The file /proc/kcore took all the space because it's 128 TB and it just kept compressing without proceeding further till I ran out of storage. I wanna know if there's a work around, a solution or am I doing something wrong. I have already tried restaring my VM but no luck. My Host OS: Kubuntu My Guest OS: Manjaro Xfce4 [The one I am trying to build for PS4] My VM Specs: 4 GB RAM, 50 GB storage, Video Memory 128 MB, 8 CPU Cores, Graphic Controller VboxVGA, 3D Acceleration Disabled Images:

cd / enter then sudo tar -cvf ps4linux.tar.xz --exclude=/ps4linux.tar.xz --exclude=/var/cache --one-file-system / -I "xz -9"

Elokuba I have already done that I ran the command from root (/) /proc is in the root as well, and it's not excluded by tar, I am asking if it is safe to do so

Yes I give -7 is a bit faster, new distro? 😉

Elokuba I will give it a try, yes its Manjaro Xfce4.

Mr_Smiley Block mesa packages because the update will crash them, good luck

Elokuba I got the distro to run on my PS4 but I am facing issues with Vulkan.

Mr_Smiley /etc/profile add this line if [ "$(id -u)" -eq 0 ]; then PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" else PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games" fi export RADV_DEBUG=llvm export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.6 export MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=460 export AMD_DEBUG=extra_md if [ "${PS1-}" ]; then if [ "${BASH-}" ] && [ "$BASH" != "/bin/sh" ]; then The file bash.bashrc already sets the default PS1. PS1='\h:\w\$ ' if [ -f /etc/bash.bashrc ]; then . /etc/bash.bashrc fi else if [ "$(id -u)" -eq 0 ]; then PS1='# ' else PS1='$ ' fi fi fi if [ -d /etc/profile.d ]; then for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do if [ -r $i ]; then . $i fi done unset i fi

if [ "$(id -u)" -eq 0 ]; then PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" else PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games" fi export RADV_DEBUG=llvm export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.6 export MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=460 export AMD_DEBUG=extra_md if [ "${PS1-}" ]; then if [ "${BASH-}" ] && [ "$BASH" != "/bin/sh" ]; then The file bash.bashrc already sets the default PS1. PS1='\h:\w\$ ' if [ -f /etc/bash.bashrc ]; then . /etc/bash.bashrc fi else if [ "$(id -u)" -eq 0 ]; then PS1='# ' else PS1='$ ' fi fi fi if [ -d /etc/profile.d ]; then for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do if [ -r $i ]; then . $i fi done unset i fi

it's normal, after that vkmark will work

Is it safe to exclude /proc or /proc/kcore while compressing?

Elokuba

for testing you can install furmark, it works without any problems

Elokuba
Appreciated I will give it a try and inform you about the results.

Hi, I followed your instructions and updated /etc/profile with the Vulkan and Mesa environment variables. I also downgraded both llvm-libs and lib32-llvm-libs to version 14.0.6.

But when I run vulkaninfo, I still get these errors:

Mr_Smiley what mess do you have?

I will give it a try later, thanks for the help mate.

Elokuba

Mr_Smiley https://ps4linux.com/forums/d/342-manjaro-from-scratch here is kde and pure manjaro, just switch from kde to xfce, you will find how to do it on the manjaro forum

Random-Kafk

Yes, you are supposed to exclude /proc, /sys, and usually /dev as well during a system backup or image creation.

Elokuba

Random-Kafk this is a 1:1 backup of your system what do you mean?

Elokuba

Random-Kafk Your login passwords will be saved, so log out, delete your password history from Firefox, etc.

Elokuba

Elokuba If you forget, you are like me in cachyos v2 and I had to change passwords for google megaupload etc.

triki1

"Your login passwords will be saved, so log out, delete your password history from Firefox, etc."
show hidden files, went to .config and deleted .google-chrome, .firefox etc

To do this automatically, use "bleachbit", two pass are required, one as user and the other as root.
