I also use nettop to watch overall bitrates but I suspect you have that one also. Assume I have 3 VMs running and they are all streaming media.

If you were to install ffmpeg today you would install virtual/ffmpeg instead, which is provided by either media-video/ffmpeg or media-video/libav. Best thing to do is to remove video/ffmpeg from world in favour of virtual/ffmpeg so that Portage can work things out for itself. Stroller. Thanks for the advice.

I'd suggest you try a make clean first and try to build again afterwards (with -j1 or without a statement for jobs) to rule out race conditions. If that doesn't help, move your kernel sources to another directory and reemerge the sources. Copy your .config (ideally one of a working tree) and try again. If that doesn't help, try to get a working default config (like from /proc/config.gz from a live distro).

If bottom-most is really that important to you, I will of course comply, though with outlook express which I'm forced to use most of the time this is a bit tedious. I had no idea what a flood of angry comments my post on preferring top-most would start off. My original problem (see title) is as yet unsolved. Any one out there with an idea what might be causing this? I'm grateful to those 3 or 4 who tried to help, but by now I'm rather desperate and in the whole of internet pages there is nothing even coming near. bugzilla told me this wasn't a bug and go to the forums. So you are really my last resort. regards, michael Based on the information you've given, there can be only 2 possible cause: 1. The Makefile is somehow b0rken. Evidence : 'ls' instead of 'ld' 2. Some file creation failed, causing the next step to fail. Please post the output of 'df -i'. I once ran out of inodes during kernel compile, even when the filesystem (ext4) was created with IIRC 100'000-something inodes (and still having several gigabytes of free space). Nowadays, I put /usr/src and portage's tempdir on a reiserfs to prevent running out of inodes. 3. Something is wrong with your filesystem. Especially if /usr/src is *already* on reiserfs. In this case, boot using SystemRescueCD and do an offline fsck on the partition containing /usr/src 4. Swapfile / Swap partition problems. Even with enough RAM, sometimes gcc just wants a swap. Post the output of 'swapon -s' please. And there's also the possibility that somehow the swap gets b0rked. Try turning off swap, rebuild the swap, and turning it back on.

[gentoo-user] Any DSDT/AML gurus out there?
Hi, I have a laptop which apparently has a buggy DSDT. It is possible to decompile and recompile it, including it in an in-kernel initramfs to override the one in BIOS, as described by the somewhat outdated example at: http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/overridingDSDT.php My main problem is that the AML code that it generates is completely foreign to me and I'm unable to tell what exactly the problem is. Most examples on the web explain fixing compilation errors, which are fairly obvious. Mine has no errors - only warnings. I think there is a logical error leading to an infinite loop condition. My previous attempts to fix it have only resulting in even worse results (no battery readings at all, ever, lack of power management in general, that kind of fun stuff). Normally, my laptop battery readings will work perfectly well until suddenly, randomly it shows this in dmesg: [ 6286.707038] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.PIB_.EC0_.SMWR] (Node 88007d028348), AE_AML_INFINITE_LOOP (20120111/psparse-536) [ 6286.707074] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.PIB_.EC0_.SMSL] (Node 88007d028398), AE_AML_INFINITE_LOOP (20120111/psparse-536) [ 6286.707096] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.PIB_.EC0_._Q09] (Node 88007d028438), AE_AML_INFINITE_LOOP (20120111/psparse-536) After that, the battery state can no longer be read and eventually spontaneously powering off without proper shutdown when the battery dies. The problem does not occur in Microsoft Windows (or windows handles it better), but I don't normally use Microsoft Windows, so that doesn't help me any. :) Has anyone on this list dealt with this before, or have any ideas to help guide me along? I'd be happy to send the code to anyone interested in trying their hand at fixing it. Thanks, Paul

Now, I've never seen this specific error before but it looks like perl

doesn't realize what portage did in the interim.
Have a look in that ebuild and 1.440.400 and you'll see quite a
difference.
Quite a difference in what? Or compared to what?
Does unmerging and remerging Parse-CPAN-Meta fix anything?
