[gentoo-user] Openshot segfault with new cairo
Hi all, When i upgrade to cairo-1.10.2-r1, the video editor Openshot compiles, but crashes with segfault error. New cairo has qt4 useflag ; so, i have to set -qt4 useflag to cairo to get Openshot working again. May i get some trouble by setting this useflag to cairo ? Thanks you, cheers, -- Jacques

In addition to my earlier thread below I have INPUT_DEVICES=evdev and ALSA_CARDS=AC97 in my make.conf. Dumb question, but did you unmute the channels in 'alsamixer'? I almost always had to do that the first time I configured ALSA. For reason the defaults seemed to mute the channels. Yes, all channels are unmuted. Thanks.

I've also swapped out the speakers, made sure they were powered on, and the volume turned up. Also I'm in the audio group and the channels are unmuted with the volume at 75%. One thing I did notice is that after running alsaconf there aren't any modules in /etc/modules.d/, in fact the directory doesn't even exist.

OK - there is nothing of interest in the setup log file above, but in the same directory there is a player-log which is catching the crash. I cannot tell what's kicking it off so I'm considering uninstalling all the vmware stuff, looking for stale links, then reinstalling vmware. Are you using the ebuilds for vmware? (Latest versions are in the vmware overlay.) I run latest X.Org (1.9.4) and both workstation as well as player have no problems here. I switched to those from Pentoo today Nikos and that's when it started working. However what I found so far didn't support the bundled workstation/tools package, only the workstation so right now I don't have the additions stuff installed. I'll be looking into that tomorrow. It has a USE flags for those (vmware-tools flag) which pulls-in the app-emulation/vmware-tools package. That package itself has USE flags for which tools you want (vmware_guest_linux, vmware_guest_windows, etc.) The ISO images for the tools can then be found in the /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/isoimages directory. Thanks! I hadn't found the flags for vmware-tools. I'm sure that will help. The VMs are already running for the day so I'll look at doing the emerge later this afternoon when work is done. Again, a big, appreciative thank you for the info. Cheers, Mark

If you really need the loop-aes useflag, you'll just have to wait for the gentoo dev to fix the ebuild. Otherwise, just unset the loop-aes flag. Dunno if there is a bug report open for this, but there should be.

Under the HD-Intel sound card driver menu there are several codecs for specific sound chips. e.g. I use the one for realtek, but yours may be a different one. Doesn't hurt to build them all as modules and see which one(s) your kernel actually uses.

[gentoo-user] Prelink on a already fast system
I was curious. I have this new rig and was wondering if prelinking would help any. It's a 4 core AMD 3.2Ghz CPU with 4Gbs, soon to be 8Gbs, of ram and a SATA 3 hard drive. On a modern system, would prelink make anything that much faster? Is it worth installing in this system? Thoughts? Opinions? Personal experience? Thanks. Dale :-) :-) P. S. Ram is ordered and should be here in a couple days. Having Newegg about 100 miles away is pretty neat. :-D

You may want to try copying the new .config to a safe place, /root maybe, then run make distclean, or make mrproper, then copying the .config back and trying again. That is what worked for some of the folks that ran into this. If that don't work, post back. Hope that fixes it tho. Dale :-) :-)

This is the second option in menuconfig under General Setup. This value gets prepended to $CC during a build -- it's meant to hold a cross prefix, like i686-pc-linux-gnu-, for cases where you're building a kernel for a different architecture. You almost certainly don't want this set to anything, since it sounds like you're building a kernel for the same machine. Go clear it out and try again. --K
