Re: [gentoo-user] Installing software without an internet connection
maybe this link will help : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-79884-highlight-networkless+scripts.html as for portage tree, you could update your portage tree using emerge-webrsync. Just download the portage tree snapshots tarball, then put it on /tmp/emerge-webrsync/ On 11/5/08, Lorenzu Hewa, Gayan Neomal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I was able to complete the Gentoo installation and boot into my system successfully.

Re: [gentoo-user] broken ALSA
Andrey, emerge -DNv did not work, but i managed to get alsa working. I got the solution by adding asound on ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS. Thanks for the help Andrey -- Salam, Marc
Re: [gentoo-user] broken ALSA
Ok, thanks. I'll try that later. I'm not on my gentoo box right now -- Salam, Marc
Re: [gentoo-user] broken ALSA
unfortunately, my Gentoo box is not connected to Internet ( i'm writing this from my office :D ) Andrey, I've try your advice my alsa still not working. First I try to put asym after dmix on ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS, but it still not working. And then I run emerge -pv alsa-lib, and look at the USE Flag. I saw empty there, so I put empty on ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS, then I emerge alsa-lib alsa-utils mpg123 again. But the results still the same. I try to put open on ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS, eventhough i didn't saw that flag on emerge -pv alsa-lib, but there is no progress. I still got the same error with the one before. -- Salam, Marc
Re: [gentoo-user] broken ALSA
no, I did emerge -v. But the asym and empty USE Flag is used on emerge -- Salam, Marc
Re: [gentoo-user] broken ALSA
Hi Andrey, what do you mean by: Apparently asym needs to be the final token in ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS. I don't know why, but doing that made alsa work again (i.e. the ebuild recognized ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS contains asym). ? I have try to enable asym use flag, but alsa still not working. -- Salam, Marc
Re: [gentoo-user] broken ALSA
asym should be the last flag? i don't know emerge read USE Flag by order. by the way, i usually only have dmix in ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS, and it's work. Only after i read your email i put asym on it. So, right know i have ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS=asym dmix on make.conf. It's okay right? I don't need to put the same flag with yours, to make alsa work again right? -- Salam, Marc

This is what I do, but I do not use the oldconfig command. A friend asked me how I build new kernel on gentoo and I was hoping to find a current howto, that does not use genkernel and such. I did not have any luck finding one (although I did not look very hard). Any suggestions are appreciated. The aforementioned howto suggest that make oldconfig, xconfig and menuconfig are alternate ways? Maybe your not suppose to mix oldconfig with menuconfig? The reason I ask is some 2.6.23 to 2.6.24. to 2.6.25 kernel have lost setting (selected options) using menuconfig alone. However, for a while the selected options were always correctly included using the above steps (without using oldconfig command syntax). This is the source of my need for some clarity. Maybe an updated howto is what is really needed? One that skips genkernel and such? James -- Salam, Marc
