Hi,

I decided to activate the portage ELOG system. I can't make portage

I saw the error when a package finished its emerge, then portage told

Please, take a look after a package is compiled (not installed) to look
for any special message.
And also, take a look into postfix log file...
Ah! One more thing: I use postfix and syslog-ng. Both of them seem to
be working properly.

Try ia64.
Yes, if those 2 CPUs Kyle mentioned are Itanium processors - I doubt. I guess
these are EM64T processors in which case the correct setting is somewhat
misleading AMD64 .
In case of EM64T, the system setting can be built upon this setting
(in /etc/make.conf):
CHOST=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
CFLAGS=-march=nocona -O2 -pipe
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
The NOCONA setting is crucial, as Intel is slightly different from AMD.
Also, look at your /proc/cpuinfo , flags section. Than set appropriate USE
flags according to this table:
CPU flag | set this
present | USE flag
---+-
mmx| mmx
sse| sse
sse2 | sse2
pni| sse3 *
mmxext | mmxext
3dnowext **| 3dnowext
3dnow**| 3dnow
* No ebuild seems to use sse3 flag (yet)
** Well, 3dnow is for AMD/AMD64, put here just for reference

All logs go into $PORT_LOGDIR (usually /var/log/portage) if it is defined. These are the full output of each emerge command, plus another file containing the elog/ewarn/einfo/error output.

Re: [gentoo-user] Usb sound and ALSA
Any clue? Thank you, your device identifies itself to the kernel as human input device (HID). Many manufacturers seem to like to make their devices to behave like this. On ALSA, the module snd_usb_audio is responsible to drive your card. But as it already works, it seems to be loaded. Then (as others suggested) there are some applications which allow you to select the device to use (see the xmms preferences for an example). Use cat /proc/asound/cards to see which cards are present on your system. To make the USB card the default device, create an .asoundrc file as suggested by Richard. As I'm using various USB cards (MIDI controllers and the like), I adjusted /etc/modules.d/alsa to force the same numbering at every system boot. Looks like: options snd device_mode=0666 options snd cards_limit=8 alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0m alias snd-card-2 snd-usb-audio alias snd-card-3 snd-usb-audio alias snd-card-4 snd-usb-audio alias snd-card-5 snd-usb-audio alias snd-card-6 snd-usb-audio # alias snd-card-7 snd-virmidi options snd-intel8x0 index=0 options snd-intel8x0m index=1 options snd-usb-audio index=2,3,4,5,6 vid=0x0582,0x0763,0x0763,0x0582,0x0ccd pid=0x0074,0x1033,0x0117,0x0009,0x0028 nrpacks=1 Didn't try it, but maybe the above block can be used to make the USB card the card at position 0 (=default card) and to move the internal card to 1.

[gentoo-user] Strange symptoms, can't identify cause
I was just on the phone with a buddy of mine to get my system connecting to his via VPN. I followed his instructions (he uses Red Hat) and now I have two problems. 1. An openvpn process starts at boot and has a different pid each time I check on it with ps. /etc/init.d/openvpn is not started automatically. I even tried moving the initscript out of /etc/init.d/ but the openvpn process still starts. 2. Ekiga (formerly Gnomemeeting) now times out trying to connect to his SIP. We can't figure out how to fix either of these problems. I did the following to get myself in this predicament. 1. emerge openvpn 2. created /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf 3. ran an openvpn command of his 4. added TUN module support to the kernel 5. ran make modules make modules_install 6. modprobe tun Now I have the problems mentioned above even after rebooting.

I don't have any resources, but my understanding is that LBAsect is the logical sector of the block device (i.e, the raid array), while sector is the physical sector of disk.
