[gentoo-user] Again emerge represents a wise koan

Hi,

I tried to decipher this, but I failed, since the six isn't there
actually...

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy

Hi fellow gentoo'ers,


I'm running XFCE with pulseaudio.

Hardware is Asus Xonar STX II with the 7.1 daughterboard

Analog Surround 5.1 is selected in xfce4-volumed-pulse.

If I do speaker-test -c 6 all is right. Front audio is put through the
front speakers.

But if I play sound in Firefox and/or Chromium (eg. youtube) the sound
is mainly coming through the rear speakers.

Any advice? If you need more info please let me know, thanks!


Run alsamixer (media-sound/alsa-utils). Press F6, select the Xonar and 
look for a "Stereo Upmix" setting.


Also, make sure you're using the "Virtuoso" kernel driver 
(SND_VIRTUOSO), not the C-Media "Oxygen" one (SND_OXYGEN). The Virtuoso 
driver should provide the correct mixer controls for Xonar cards.


(The Oxygen driver works too, since the Xonar cards use the Oxygen chip, 
but it might not provide Xonar-specific mixer controls.)

Where did you install rEFInd?  In the EFI partition?  I am about to install 
gentoo on a MackBook Pro, but do not want to mess up the original 3 partitions 
installed by OSX, any more than is absolutely necessary.

I could start a new thread if this is hijacking the OP's, but there are some 
parallels with boot loaders at least.  I am thinking of trying out the sys-
boot/systemd-boot (ex-gumiboot) instead of rEFInd.  Will it be able to launch 
the OSX  boot64.efi?

You don't have a BIOS boot partition on a UEFI system. They are for
compatibility when using GPT disks with BIOS systems, and even hen you
don't put anything on them.

Just create an EFI System partition, formatted using FAT and mounted
at /boot as the first partition, then divide the rest of the disk
between /, /home swap as you see fit.

[gentoo-user] cyrus-sasl and multiple berkdb segfault

[Konstantin]

Hello Guys,

On one of my gentoo servers i had dev-libs/cyrus-sasl installed for some
time. Users configured for sasl auth.
After last system update i found that 'sasldblistusers2' and other commands
broken:

I tried to unmerge sys-libs/db-5.3.28-r2 but i see another packages (perl

Also i rebuild cyrus-sasl dut it did not help.
revdep-rebuild said 'Your system is consistent'.

Can anyone help me to fix cyrus-sasl?

Thanks.

I don't think systemd matters in this case.

I would expect some config setting for 'normal' stereo sound forcing it to the 
rear speakers.

That's grub1 (which doesn't understand efi). grub2 is still being developed.

Unfortunately elilo's been abandoned.

[gentoo-user] Pulseaudio - Asus Xonar STX II 7.1 - 5.1 Surround - Front audio is coming from rear speakers in Firefox

[Jochen Kirchner]

Hi fellow gentoo'ers,


I'm running XFCE with pulseaudio.

Hardware is Asus Xonar STX II with the 7.1 daughterboard

Analog Surround 5.1 is selected in xfce4-volumed-pulse.

If I do speaker-test -c 6 all is right. Front audio is put through the
front speakers.

But if I play sound in Firefox and/or Chromium (eg. youtube) the sound
is mainly coming through the rear speakers.

Any advice? If you need more info please let me know, thanks!


Kind Regards,

Jochen

To make a boot disk in DOS you have two options.

Format /s  x:
and
Sys x:

Once this is done, the new disk will boot perfectly [period] .

So what I did was I deleted my botched UEFI partition, and created two
new partitions, each of half-size.
I mark ... well.:

#33
localhost ~ # fdisk -l /dev/sdc
Disk /dev/sdc: 256.2 GiB, 275064201216 bytes, 537234768 sectors
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: 00C7D602-412C-4505-8992-0482855EDEF9

Device  Start   End   Sectors   Size Type
/dev/sdc12048264191262144   128M EFI System
/dev/sdc2  526336 537233407 536707072 255.9G Linux filesystem
/dev/sdc3  264192526335262144   128M BIOS boot

Partition table entries are not in disk order.
localhost ~ #



I then set up my crap. on the BIOS boot partition, adjust the grub.cfg
entries on that partition to expect to show up as hd0/sda[*] and try to
boot the mofo...
I got some BIOS errors regarding a boot failure, I'm not sure what
that's about. =(
I adjusted my d-ram voltage back to 1.475 which is what I think it needs
to be... Have no idea, probably a red herring...

After that, u know what happened?

Hello there, someone with problems on julia after upgrade libgit2 to 
0.25.1 version?


Since them i'm facing a impossibility to upgrade packages. And yes, 
julia was recompiled against new libgit2.

ACK. I just thought that I'd point it out.

If you're loading the kernel from grub, you don't have to compile the
efi stub/stuff into the kernel.

Looking at your grub.cfg, I wonder whether "linux /vmlinuz-4.6.7 ..."
is correct.

Looking at your original "tree" output, it looks like you're mounting
the ESP at "/boot" and that grub's being loaded from
"/boot/EFI/gentoo/grubx64.efi".

What are the grub.cfg lines that start with "search" and "set root"?

No clue if it's related or not, but I thought I'd mention this anyway:

This reminds me of a vaguely similar problem I had this week, though luckily 
it was time-variant: portage refused to update boost-build because it was 
masked, but the reason given was... literally empty.  Immediately retrying it 
on my desktop worked, but on my laptop it took a few retries (*no* changes in-
between) for portage to offer the upgrade. (Actually, for $reasons, I wanted 
to do --fetchonly first, which took a few retries, then do the upgrade proper, 
which took several more tries before the error went away again.)

Naturally, I haven't had any problems since...

You don't have to be fluent, as long as the caller isn't ;-)

It also helps if you know multiple languages and can switch between them at 
will. I once had a call from someone wanting to sell me something. The 
conversation kept switching to different languages and the person kept asking 
me to repeat what I said. I would simply repeat the same, but in a different 
language. If only I'd be fluent in Klingon ;)

I can keep that up for an hour easily.
