I have been thinking of going to x86_64 mode but I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble with multilib, chroot'ing, firefox-bin and other compromises (admittedly some minor). I realize I should see some speed increase but probably only in certain areas such as compiling. I just switched back to the amd64 profile and it has changed significantly since my last attempt. I only needed to use the multilib profile when I used the hardened profile. Hardened is still a little bit of a pain, but the standard profile and the desktop and server subprofiles work great.

[gentoo-user] Default sound card for output...
My system has two sound-cards - one on the motherboard (snd_intel8x0) and an one via PCI (SB Audigy/snd_emu10k1). I don't mind having the driver compiled for the snd_intel8x0 card, but I want the Audigy as my default card chosen for playback. Some applications (e.g. Rosegarden) let me select the card. Others (e.g. embedded flash) do not. I'm running KDE 3.5.8, but can't see something that will let me set the default card beyond choosing ALSA. Is there any way that I can set the Audigy to be the default card? Both drivers are loaded by udev - so I guess there's something I could do there to control order...but I'm not that familiar with writing udev rules. I've figured out how to identify them somewhat using udev rules; however, the Audigy is not unique enough across the types of devices (e.g. audio, admmidi, amidi, etc.)... So what's the easiest way to set the Audigy as my default sound card? If I have to use uDev, then what's the easiest way to identify and order the devices and be able to capture all their sub-devices as well? TIA, Ben -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Hi, there's a HOWTO for this on the Gentoo wiki site (gentoo-wiki.com). I'd link to it, but I can't reach the site right now as it won't load. There's also some info and an example (albeit for Debian) on the ALSA project wiki: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/MultipleCards#Multiple_Sound_Cards_--_Example_on_Debian_GNU.2FLinux So basically, you have to edit /etc/modules.d/alsa to your needs. Here's mine as an example for an nvidia onboard sound device and a Terratec Phase 22 PCI card: -- # Alsa kernel modules' configuration file. # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore ## ## IMPORTANT: ## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s) ## and then run `update-modules' command. ## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info. ## ## Card 1 # ALSA portion alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1724 # OSS/Free portion - card #1 alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd-ice1724 index=0 alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss ## Card 2 # ALSA portion alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel # OSS/Free portion - card #2 alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd-hda-intel index=1 alias /dev/dsp1 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss # Set this to the correct number of cards. # Not really needed. options snd cards_limit=2 -- This tells alsa that I want the Phase 22 to be loaded first (default) and the onboard chip to be second. The OSS sections do the same for the emulated OSS devices (if you have OSS activated in ALSA). Though I don't know what every entry does and even if I need them all, it does the trick here just fine. Of course, if anybody sees anything wrong (or superfluous) with my configuration, please, do tell! After you're done editing that file, you have to add /etc/init.d/alsasound to the boot runlevel like so: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ sudo rc-update add alsasound boot and then of course start it: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound start That *should* take care of it, though I of course recommend reading the wikis first, in case I left something out or made any errors.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Manifest question
Digests in the portage tree are an old obsolete feature that has just recently finally been removed from the tree. Now gentoo uses a much better Manifest scheme. 'ebuild ebuild-name digest has done nothing for quite some time now (at least a full year maybe?), and the manifest option is the one that works. There's interesting information about this on the font page of gentoo.org right now -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list I didn't realize that. I just used digest for my local overlay yesterday. Does it still allow it, or do I have an outdated version of portage? Steve Buzonas Jr.

Hello, reading more about the driver it says that that driver is no longer maintained and it recommends zd1211rw which is included in the kernel. You should be able to find the driver in your kernel configuration by going to 'Device Drivers Network Device Support Wireless LAN ZyDAS ZD1211/ZD1211B USB-wireless support '. Hope it helps.

Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo rebuild, cups won't work WORKAROUND (i.e. mysteriously solved)

I did find that hplip was compiled without the parport flag. Dale beat me to pointing out that you may have missed the parport USE flag, most likely the cause of the problem. Dale has added the USE flag parport to his too. Just in case I ever need it. Mine is not grayed out now either. That should work. Dale, thanks for the pointer, and also for proving that enabling the parport USE flag should cure the problem Kevin experienced. Ain't having all the options neat? Even if you have to recompile things a lot. ;-) It's one of Gentoos' many strong points - *you* choose what *you* want. I enjoy keeping my systems lean and mean, so I turn off options I don't require, rather than including them 'just in case.' That's the beauty of Gentoo: we have choice. To each their own. It's called freedom. Cheers, Dave Well, this is weird. Putting in the parport USE flag causes a change in the config file that gets built during emergence of hplip: /etc/hp/hplip.conf now has pp-build=yes, and hplip is now willing to probe parallel devices. This does me no good because it doesn't find any devices, even though the printer is powered on, connected, and has been printing just fine. However, the emphasis is on the fact that the printer prints. So I'm gonna spend my time on getting apache and vmware working. ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
[gentoo-user] resize raid1 array
Hello, I had a raid1/mirror array of two 200G disks. Then one failed and I thought 'lets get two 500G disks and just ease them in, they are cheap'. So I added the full 500G partition from the first disk to the degraded array, watched the resync, removed the remaining 200G disk and added the last 500G disk. My hope now was that I would be able to tell the kernel that md0 now is 500G, not 200G. But alas, I have not been able to do so. Is there a way to do this? Or is the only way forward to shrink the partitions and create new 300G ones alongside? Thanks, Rasmus -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] [OT] Trying to use xauth - Xlib: No protocol specified
Hello folks! I know that this question is offtopic for this list, but maybe someone has a clue nonetheless... I'm trying to access my local X display (on a Gentoo Linux machine, of course - am I now on topic? *G*) from a remote system (running Solaris 10U4 on Sparc). I cannot use ssh to login to that machine. To be somewhat secure, I tried to use xauth, but that doesn't work What did I do? On the local system, I did: xauth extract xauth.key $DISPLAY:0.0 ftp $remote - put xauth.key, in BINary mode rlogin $remote On $remote, I did: export DISPLAY=$linux_box:0.0 xauth merge xauth.key xterm Result: Xlib: connection to lin000198:0.0 refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified xterm Xt error: Can't open display: lin000198:0.0 Hm. Why's that? X is (of course) running on lin000198 and it's listening on 6000/tcp: $ sudo netstat -tlpen | grep 6000 tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:60000.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 9878 4489/X Looks good, doesn't it? I'm also able to access the X server on my local $linux_box, when I do on $linux_box: xhost +$remote But I don't want to do that, as xauth is the better, more secure way. On $linux_box I ran wireshark/tcpdump and had it capture the traffic. When I run xterm on $remote, I see two packages with the protocol type X11. One going from $remote - $linux_box and one the other way (the answer). Content is pasted further down below. Does anyone know what I might have to tweak, so that xauth works? I'm using xorg-server-1.4.0.90-r3, if that matters. Thanks a lot! And sorry for being off topic.
