Hello list, After the switch to elogind yesterday, chronyd now won't run. It complains "Could not get user/group of ntp." I remerged chrony with USE=-ntp, but it didn't help. I know that several people here use chrony, so what is your experience?
Secondly, this morning when I started firefox to listen to BBC Radio 3, as usual, I had no sound. Then I remembered that alsa-utils was unmerged during the switch to elogind yesterday, so I remerged it and ran alsamixer to unmute the master. Still no sound. This box has two sound devices: # lspci | grep Audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset HD Audio Controller (rev 05) 01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Ellesmere HDMI Audio [Radeon RX 470/480 / 570/580/590] The first of those is the one I use; the AMD device is part of the VGA card and not used. I'd have to get myself some kind of HDMI cable to split the sound out if I wanted to use it. Should I assume that firefox is trying to use the AMD device? In that case, how do I redirect it? There's no sound configuration panel under multimedia in KDE system settings; only cddb. -- Regards, Peter.
