[gentoo-user] Problems with ath9k: can't authenticate
Hi guys. I'm having problems with my wireless nic, on a notebook. The card is an ath9k 802.11n wireless adapter. The driver is loaded, wpa_supplicant and wicd get to recognize them, I can see the association working correctly, but I can't get the card to authenticate, it ALWAYS times out. I tried looking at the kernel documentation for the ath9k driver, but without success. I'll look for it using the work internet. Anyway, does anyone with a similar setup had any problems with atheros nics? And how did you solve it? Thinking further, I had to enable wireless extensions (wext) to make wicd handle ath9k. Should I disable it and stick to wpa_supplicant? Also, I'm using a non-modular kernel, compiling everything in it. Yesterday I left the notebook making a new modular kernel, with sound and wireless drivers modular. I'm almost going all the way to genkernel. Any clues? I'm running ~amd64, kernel 3.3.0. 3.1.X worked somewhat ok, but I can't shake the feeling that under Windows this laptop of mine would work flawlessly. I'm not whining, just wanna find a comparable configuration, and solve my usability issues. Thanks -- Claudio Roberto França Pereira

Ok, I know what to do. I played a little with ffmpeg and avconv (ffmpeg's fork, libav, conversion utility) converting 3D YouTube videos to play at the Nintendo 3DS. Anyways, I'll pretend you're using ffmpeg, I prefer libav but ffmpeg is much more common (both are made available by portage, there is virtual/ffmpeg now). Their syntax is a little different by the way, if you prefer using libav just look at libav changelog (/usr/share/doc/libav-version/CHANGELOG.bz2, or something close to that). ffmpeg -i file1.avi -i file2.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy -async 12 -o output.avi You can use multiple input files, not just 2. If their codec match, you can copy, if they don't match then you'll need to re-encode the files (or the just the ones with the different codec). The -async 12 option do the synchronization trick. The 12 indicates that ffmpeg should try to correct synchronization at most 12 times per second. You could use less, try and see the results yourself. I'd say that even 5 or 3 would give great results, but 12 doesn't seem to increase file size either.

[gentoo-user] To swap or not to swap? Is it really needed?
I've run my box with 2x2GB of RAM for a while, but a couple weeks ago one of my chips died, and now I'm stuck with 1x2GB. That's not that terrible, I'm using Gentoo all day, rarely switching to Windows 7 anyways, who really likes RAM. Anyway, for the last days, my machine has been really slow, with mouse lag, input delay, and other things. I imediately associated it to the lack of free RAM, but I always rushed to check the RAM usage with htop and it were never really high. So today I decided to turn my swap partition off. And the system is FLYING. I mean, it's pratically a new machine, now it's usable and reliable. I thought of falling back from KDE 4 to awesome (tried it earlier in an old notebook last year) given the memory footprint of KDE, but it seems that my hard disk was the culprit here. I've heard that Linux need a little swap partition, maybe just 512MB, for some tasks, but I'm not going to turn it on anytime soon. It's a desktop machine, 24/7, and I couldn't care less about suspend-to-disk. So, should I ban swap partitions entirely from my life? Is that ok?
Re: [gentoo-user] To swap or not to swap? Is it really needed?
Sorry for being so general, for not giving any real info. I'm new to system monitoring, I just learnt about iostat and swapon -s, now about vmstat. I mainly tried to catch anything unusual in top/htop. Trying to be more specifically, my system is a core 2 duo, dual core 3ghz processor, 4gb of ram (now 2gb), ATI radeon HD4850 with 512mb of vram. I used to play a lot on this box, now a lot less. On Gentoo, when I play is some browser game or cowsay (it's in games-misc!), not anything relevant. I'm using radeon open source drivers, by the way. My main use, currently, is web surfing, firefox with LOTS of tabs, email, social networks and random browsing. Firefox alone uses lots of ram, almost always it's using more than a half GB, sometimes it passes the 1gb mark. I also do Qt develop on this, but nothing heavy. No virtual machines, no 3d rendering, no heavy processing, no hibernation. So, I'm just a basic common web surfer. In this case, can I say it's at least SAFE to disable swap? I'll look into last month's thread on this.
Re: [gentoo-user] To swap or not to swap? Is it really needed?
ZRAM is a compressed ramdisk for swap, right? I'm really not interested currently. My next system will have 16gb of ram, and I'll create an 8gb ramdisk on it to increase emerge performance. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with my system performance, disabling swap and compositing effects (remember, open source radeon drivers, I might try fglrx again but I really liked KMS) did the trick.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: no sound on upgraded Firefox from 7 to 8 - using pulse audio
The idea behind pulseaudio is live switching of streams. ALSA is great if you have only one audio card, but as soon as you introduce a bluetooth headset, a headphone, a HDMI display with sound output, ALSA can't handle real time stream redirection. Sure, you can use scripts to toggle .asoundrc profiles, but even then you'll need to restart the softwares that produce audio. Here I have a HDMI display (an hdtv) and a headphone. I mostly send my audio to my tv, but if I'm using the computer late at night, or if I'm to listen to high volume music, I'd switch the affecting streams to my headphone, without the need to mess with sound configuration files and to restart my sound engine. PulseAudio is to audio what X.org is to video: stream mixing software.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: vbox vm no boot
From the first post, you've ran, under grub, setup (hd0,0). This installs grub on the first partition boot loader, you want to install it on the DISK boot loader, on the MBR. Maybe gparted fixed that for you. The correct way would be to run: root (hd0,0) //indicate where grub stage 1.5 and 2 are. setup (hd0) //install grub's stage 1 on the MBR. About the second error, the kernel is definitely detecting your sata controller, the partitions are all there. It seems that you missed to append the root=/dev/sda3 to the kernel parameters, under grub.conf. In the end, I'd recommend disabling ext2 fs support in the kernel too, and use ext4 to mount ext2 and ext3 file systems.

As the message above from emerge says, no way to update

where to find that option. Not in linux/.config, so where ?
i think it only shows up there if it is already set. AFAIK the
kernel options are defined in the various Kconfig files spread
throughout the source tree. in this case
drivers/usb/core/Kconfig
when searching for an option you can do
find /usr/src/linux/ -name Kconfig \
-exec grep USB_SUSPEND {} /dev/null \;
which gives you two hits:
/usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/core/Kconfig:config USB_SUSPEND
/usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/core/Kconfig: depends on USB_SUSPEND
and
grep -A 20 'config USB_SUSPEND' /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/core/Kconfig
giving you description and help:
config USB_SUSPEND
bool USB runtime power management (autosuspend) and wakeup
depends on USB PM_RUNTIME
help
If you say Y here, you can use driver calls or the sysfs
power/control file to enable or disable autosuspend for
individual USB peripherals (see
Documentation/usb/power-management.txt for more details).
Also, USB remote wakeup signaling is supported, whereby some
USB devices (like keyboards and network adapters) can wake up
their parent hub. That wakeup cascades up the USB tree, and
could wake the system from states like suspend-to-RAM.
If you are unsure about this, say N here.
Cool tip for the future: Go to /usr/src/linux, type make menuconfig.
Then type / (slash). Then type SUSPEND and ENTER. It will show you
all the kernel options with SUSPEND on them.
or this, of course ;)
This is my preferred way of searching the config. Note that you can't
select USB runtime and power management (autosuspend) and wakeup, if
Power management and ACPI options - Run-time PM core functionality is
not set.
I forgot that some time ago, leading to some errors while unmounting USB
sticks with udisks (although most of udisks works without this option
set, it just can't power down USB devices after they are unmounted).
In particular, for USB_SUSPEND it says:
Symbol: USB_SUSPEND [=y]
Type : boolean
Prompt: USB runtime power management (autosuspend) and wakeup
Defined at drivers/usb/core/Kconfig:93
Depends on: USB_SUPPORT [=y] USB [=y] PM_RUNTIME [=y]

- Support for Host-side USB (USB [=y])
So there, is in Device Drivers - USB support - Support for

That's extremely hardcore. Using / in menuconfig will not only give you the
menu where the option resides, but also state it's status (checked,
unchecked or module), it's dependencies and short description.
