 One of the great things about this new livedvd besides that it contains

 you can boot this livedvd, make tweaks as you like and reboot while
 retaining those changes. It's more like a Gentoo to Go if you ask me. 
 and
 Another great feature which will be ported to all minimal install cds is
 support for UEFI. This image even boots on MAC OSX hardware! Yes you heard
 it right! 

 nice pie, well done to the gentoo devs


 So my understanding is you can put this on a usb stick. Run
 gentoo live, download packages, set flags, install packages
 and save them to the USB stick?  So it's a portable  gentoo

 Why not patch the default config to have these items enabled?

 Is it a legacy thing, a way to force users into reading documentation

 I'm not completely sure, but I believe it's just the config that comes
 from upstream.  For Gentoo users who want a kernel automagically

 Being new to ebuilds, forgive me if I'm wrong, but the requirement is
 stated in the gnome-3.2.1.ebuild:

 You probably have flags for gnome:2.0 all over /etc/portage/package.* also.

 It's not like that . I only have one sound card and one HD audio controller,

 I don't why there are card0 and card1.

  * Did you go into alsamixer to verify that the appropriate outputs

 Actually there is no alsamixer in my system, I read the

 Gentoo Linux ALSA Guide , there is no alsaconf or

 alsasound too.

You must of missed;

# emerge alsa-utils

  * Try aplay or speaker-test or something else low-level to see
if even basic output is working.  It could be your sound card is

If you open up wicd = Preferences = General Settings = Wired

I did not have to manually create any symlink as I think wicd does any

 Ah, I didn't know you had this already mostly figured out in a bug.
 Full disclosure requested -- from the very beginning! :D

 After taking a quick peek: do those ebuilds succeed in installing
 something? Since they don't follow CPAN conventions (esp. wrt naming)
 I'm not sure what perl-module.eclass actually does for their
 src_compile, src_install and other steps. Also, the - used in SRC
 might have interesting side-effects to paths, as the tarball name no
 longer matches its content directory's name.

I don't think I will use the software, I was just helping to put the

get the pieces together and if it will work as intended I think we
could contact upstream to help with a more sensible approach to
packaging the patch for the stock SOAP-WSDL, so updating will be
easier to maintain.

 what is Typemap and how did you patch it by hand?

 - Grant


Typemap is a branch of soap-wsdl;
http://soap-wsdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/soap-wsdl/SOAP-WSDL/branches/

SOAP::WSDL I don't think can even be used for this;
http://search.cpan.org/~mkutter/SOAP-WSDL-2.00.10/lib/SOAP/WSDL.pm

I am with you Grant, it is confusing, that is why I said google needs
to make a patched version of Typemap to use with this and call it
something line google-typemap-0.1 and keep it updated to use with
their google-api-adwords-perl. This may happen as it appears the
project is very active.

 Thank you Arttu.  Here is the link to the SOAP::WSDL:

 from the README:

 http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-perl/source/browse/trunk/README

 Ok, I see they're shipping the same version which is available from
 CPAN as the dev version (2.00.99_3). But the patch is still not made
 for its code ... maybe it is for _2 or _1?

 The patch keeps failing out of the box:

 cpan -i Text::Patch

 tar xvzf awapi_perl_lib_1.3.2.tar.gz
 ~/tempski $ awapi_perl_lib_1.3.2/bin/soap_wsdl_patches.pl Typemap

 Anyway, only three files' small chunks fail from the patch, and
 they're short and mostly just semantically adding some formerly
 non-existent subroutines and changing the return values of others.

 I think with some manual labour we could turn that patch into a fixed
 regular patch, which we could then apply in an ebuild for SOAP::WSDL
 via a USE flag. For example, something along these lines for
 dev-perl/SOAP-WSDL-2.00.99.3.ebuild (licenses etc might be wrong):

 # Copyright 1999-2010 Gentoo Foundation
 # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
 # $Header: $

 EAPI=2

 MODULE_AUTHOR=MKUTTER
 MY_P=${P:0:17}_3
 inherit eutils perl-module

 DESCRIPTION=SOAP::WSDL module

 LICENSE=Artistic
 SLOT=0
 KEYWORDS=amd64 x86
 IUSE=adwords

 src_prepare() {
        perl-module_src_prepare
        use adwords  epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV}-adwords.patch
 }


 This SOAP-WSDL package could then in turn be made a dependency for
 your real google-adwords package (dev-perl/Google-Adwords?):

 RDEPENDS=dev-perl/SOAP-WSDL[adwords]

 Am I making any sense?

 Theoretically (if you insist), you could still use the perl's
 Text::Patch route as well, but (if I'm not entirely wrong, see the
 excerpted attempted patch run above) the patch would still need to be
 touched up to match properly with the _3 dev release code. And it
 would add a dependency to Text::Patch, and make an odd call to perl in
 the middle of the ebuild. (I assume it must be made explicitly as I
 don't know if perl-module.eclass has any automation for this. Probably
 not since AFAICT Text::Patch isn't even installed by default).

You can set your main active version of python as 2.6, and still have
3.1 installed to build and run Blender.
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/developersguide.xml

I have not seen the ebuild you are using for your svn version of
blender so not sure if it will work as is.
Python is not ready as yet to run as your main active version yet and
looks like you found one of the reasons.

Hi Jose and welcome to Gentoo, check out man emerge and some useful

 Could I get you to tell me a couple of your settings?  You're doing
 something right if you haven't had to touch your's after setting it
 up.
 
 I'm trying to figure out the right connection type (or something like
 that) for which the options are something like Smart KeepAlive, Always
 Reconnect, and Connect On Demand.
I use Always On 
 
 The other one is the IP lease timeout.  It defaults to 10 minutes and
 I just set it to 99 days, but I don't want it to expire even after 99
 days.  I have a static IP but I think this is the timeout between the
 modem/router and the Gentoo router.
I have DHCP lease time once per day

 Hi there!
 
 The 2.1.x-Version of Skype seems to use pulseaudio if it finds a pulsaudio-
 deamon running, and doesn't allow to chose the audio device in this case.
 
 What I want to have is very simple:
 * Ringtone and any other sound produced by skype shall go to the internal 
 sound device with loudspeakers connected
 * Audiostream for talking to someone shall go to the USB-Headset.
 
 How do I configure this?
 
 What I've tried so far:
 * pacmd shows skype as single client. I couldn't find a way to redirect it to 
 the headset
 * I've installed padevchoser, but it only allows me to change the default 
 device, and the setting seems to be ignored by skype.
 
 Thanks

Did you try pavucontrol and select your input and output devices?
