[gentoo-user] ripping my hair out with audio over hdmi
I've googled for days, tried upteen different settings and nearly gone bald and I still cannot get audio over hdmi working on this nVidia ION chipset. I've made tiny bits of progress here and there which (reading many many MANY forum posts) should mean it is working, but no. Is there anyone here who has managed this? someone who would be willing to go through some things with me and get this working. The HDMI output shows up fine in aplay -l and aplay -L, I can use speaker-test or aplay on the card/device with no errors. I've tried muting/unmuting everything in alsamixer (several analog related channels plus 3 s/pdifs). Analog audio works without problems but no matter what I try I cannot get HDMI working. I would be so grateful if someone could help, I'm literally about to throw it all out of the window thanks to all these smug ubuntu people saying how easy it was to get working :P Many thanks Matt

It detects everything but the results are exactly the same as gentoo, no sound even though everything looks fine. I'm not sure if I should be thinking about RMAing this board. I guess I should try windows on it first but I don't have any discs handy :/ Grateful for any other ideas. Thanks

[gentoo-user] slow screen redraw in terminal windows after sync
I recently sync'd after not having done so in 36 days. Among the packages updated were firefox-bin and xulrunner. While using awesome wm, I first noticed firefox-bin wouldn't display, but it launched fine in gnome. I tried launching firefox-bin from a terminal, but got no errors. The process seemed to launch fine, but I couldn't see firefox anywhere. Before killing the firefox process I noticed my urxvt windows would draw very slowly. If I view a man page or ls a large dir, it's as if the text were slowly being revealed one line at a time. Other non-terminal based applications would launch and run fine though. I sync'd again, and to my surprise both firefox and xulrunner were updated. Now firefox-bin launches on my x86_64 system, but I still have the problem with terminal windows redrawing themselves very slowly using either urxvt or gnome-terminal. If I use a webkit browser ( uzbl ), the effect is much less apparent, if not completely gone. Is there anything I can try, or more information I can provide? Thanks, Alan

Hi Vizo,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have tried that one and I still
don't get any sound :( I have tried many things in my asound.conf and
I'm still not there yet.
Just out of interest, Mythbuntu LiveCD, exactly the same as gentoo,
looks good but silent. However I've also tried an XBMC livecd and the
HDMI audio works with 30 seconds of config.
So the hardware is ok, but there is something critial I am missing. I've
asked on the mythtv-users list too but no replies yet.
Thanks
Re: [gentoo-user] ripping my hair out with audio over hdmi
ok lets take this from the top. I went thru the same thing and it drove me
crazy. I guess we should start with your .config I can compare it to mine if
you want. alsowhat kernel are you using?

Re: [gentoo-user] Automation: Ripping DVDs to disk
On 8/3/2011, at 6:09pm, James wrote: ... I have a large DVD(movie) collection, that I want copied to hard drive(s) and a database set up about the movies. Since disc is cheap ($75/2TB) I'm not even going to fool around with conversion or compression, i.e. MPEG-2 is fine for now, unless the process can be automated I've started this process, and am pretty much happy with my workflow. IMO you're absolutely right not to transcode the movies, if you can avoid it. I've wasted a lot of time trying to do that well - whilst h264 *is* really good, if you look closely picture quality is still not as good as the original and there are several other ways you can trip up when processing an even moderately large collection. DVD is a pretty whacky standard, and I don't believe there are any transcoding tools that will be certain to get the right framerate, aspect ratio (anamorphic picture, cropping c) and stuff like that every time. If you blindly rip anything less than the whole DVD then it's very easy to get the wrong language of audio or miss subtitles on foreign movies. An example of a movie which has caused ripping complications for me is Killing Zoe - it features an American protagonist but is set in Paris. It is a Hollywood movie but there are large sections of French dialogue - the American director probably wanted to give it a European flavour by including so much. The DVD I have of this movie has a forced subtitle only for the French parts - the film was surely subtitled like this during US theatrical release, but I had not seen it for some years when I originally ripped the disk. So thinking that this is an English language DVD of a Hollywood movie I just ripped audio and video exactly as I would have ripped any other US DVD at the time (for hard subtitles this procedure would have, in fact, been perfectly fine). Consequently the subtitles were missing, and I missed loads of context when I watched it because I don't really speak French - it was only 3/4 of the way through that I suddenly realised my mistake and that there's supposed to be subtitles for these sections. Only at that stage of the plot there was simply too much French dialogue I didn't understand. That is an example of one the most user non-optimal possible experiences from poor DVD ripping. The viewer doesn't understand the movie, but when watching it again the surprise of plot elements may be spoiled from having inadvertently watched it in the wrong language in the first place. Dramatic effect is important and, especially since DVDs allow branching (Director's Cut vs Theatrical on the same disk), there probably loads of examples where the DVD does something clever that can't be captured correctly via a conventional rip of title 1 to .mp4. These may seem like unusual cases, but it's the corner cases that get you every time; since I've found at least a couple of them whilst ripping less than 50 disks, there are probably several in any DVD collection. In one scene of the British movie Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels characters talk in cockney rhyming slang so impenetrable it's subtitled; I have no idea whether this short set of subtitles is hard or forced on the DVD. Presuming the movie also has English subtitles for the deaf, how does the DVD avoid those clashing? I don't know, but I don't want to have to care, either. One might hypothesise that the same problem might manifest during the Disney movie Wall-E, were the beeping of one of the robots subtitled. Feel free to dismiss this problem because that film doesn't affect me, but I'm sure you'll find a movie that does affect you, after you've ripped it. (I've just reread your original questions, and seeing your mention of asking a teenager to perform the disk-swapping, I now realise that I've probably been preaching to the converted with these last two lengthy paragraphs. However I might as well leave that commentary in the hope it'll benefit someone else some time). It's pretty common now to rip the main title to .mkv file, but I think this is still flawed. The .mkv container allows storage of the original MPEG2 video encode (quick to rip, no loss of quality) and unlike .mp4 (I think) it also permits multiple different audio tracks (director's commentary c) and multiple subtitles. .mkv is pretty widely supported on standalone players (nearly as widely as .mp4 h264/AAC) but you still have the problem I described before that it may default to the wrong language or subs; at least in this case the viewer can select those from the player's menus themselves, but it's not as nice as the original DVD in a conventional player. You may be already past the cockney scene before you realise the subtitles are missing and have to rewind; more likely you'll just not be aware of these subtitles at all, and you'll entirely miss the point of this scene. I'm not aware of any tools which will easily translate from a DVD the settings for

I've got the usual analog channels, plus the 3 S/PDIFs (the third of which I understand to be the HDMI) and I'm really not sure if I've got that set up right. I tried using the .asoundrc from the XBMC LiveCD to see what change that might make. It did tidy some things up a bit (the device names/aliases/whatever alsa calls them) but still no sound.

Thanks, attached is the one I stole from XBMC. I've tried so many other
ones too but they all have the same silence.

Re: [gentoo-user] Two local subnets and IPv6
On 07:07 Tue 08 Mar , Mick wrote: I have not tried this myself (my router won't do ipv6 yet) so you'll need to try it out yourself. Instead of terminating the tunnel at your router, forward it as is and terminate it at gentoo box 1. Then forward the ipv6 addresses from there for each of your clients. This means that the router will no longer function as such and for all intends and purposes you can place it in a fully bridged mode (no WAN IP address, no NAT-ing, no DHCP-ing. Hope this helps. Hi Mick, thanks for the hint! To give some feedback, I can say that I finally settled for a completely different approach. I moved away from creating a separate subnet on the first floor and connecting it to the ground floor (and Internet) via one machine with good WLAN reception that served as a router. Instead, as I (or rather: my girlfriend) found it cosmetically unfortunate to pull an Ethernet cable between the floors, I decided to give these powerline adapters a try that I had often seen in shops but never found an excuse to really look at. Yes, these wall-wart kind of things that have an Ethernet port and plug into a normal wall socket in order to transfer data via the power line. Just for the record in case anyone is interested: At least in my home these things work reasonably well. More than enough to carry my Internet connection to the first floor, good enough for reasonably fast file transfers between internal machines on different floors. However, preliminary tests suggest that the up to 500 MBit/s specified on the box are nowehere near what I seem to be able to reach in reality (and thus, I could probably have saved 20 bucks and went for a cheaper 200 or even 85 MBit/s model without much loss in real-world performance). All of that's off-topic, though, I just thought I'd tell how things eventually worked out. ;-) Greetings, Nils -- Nils Holland * Ti Systems, Wunstorf-Luthe (Germany) Our Gentoo mirror: http://rush.tisys.org/ (IPv4 + IPv6) Powered by GNU/Linux since 1998

I don't know that there's any perfect solution in existence for this kind of consumer management of media files.

Besides, you can probably rip DVDs with `dvdbackup mkisofs` and then later worry about databasing (whether by importing them in to MythTV or otherwise). MythTV uses a perl script for the IMDB lookup, you could adapt that to another setup. However, MythTV also handles all the database stuff.

A recording is a recording, whether copied from a TV card or a DVD. In referring to MythTV's focus one aspect I had in mind was that, last time I read about it, I think MythTV kept DVD rips in a separate menu hierarchy from TV. So if you want to look for an action movie, and you click on TV and browse through the videos there, you only see the TV recordings; you then have to exit out of TV and choose DVDs before you can browse what action genre DVDs you have stored. This may well have changed - they may well have unified that in the last 2 or 3 years - however MythTV is still quite a big undertaking. I think you'd want to add in recording of TV to justify MythTV, and WAF isn't instantaneous. MythTV is, by all accounts, absolutely gorgeous. I think it's probably the most ideal home media centre option, but it's a heck of a lot more complicated than whacking a bunch of files on a network share. Thus I have some reservations about utilising MythTV's IMBD Perl script as it surely populates its results to the MythTV MySQL DB. How to display the results? YAMJ and similar might be worth a look because they do the same thing but create pretty designed-for-TV HTML pages with links to the media files. OP might also investigate XBMC. Stroller.

Just as an example, I use the sys-kernel/gentoo-sources package for my kernel source code. There are many other kernel source packages you can choose from, but if you have no special reason for using some other kernel, I suggest you emerge gentoo-sources to restore that directory. Once the kernel source code is restored to /usr/src/linux, you will need to configure your custom kernel (if you use a customized kernel). Do you understand what I've said so far? If not, tell us where you got lost :)

[gentoo-user] no-multilib profile trying to build multilib glibc-2.11.3 and gcc-4.4.5
I have a VM image based on the amd64 hardened no-multilib profile. Today, when trying to emerge glibc-2.11.3 and gcc-4.4.5, the builds have been failing, and appear to be trying to build multilib versions, which of course it can't.
