[gentoo-user] Grub2, chroot, initramfs
Hi, I'm trying out grub2 for the first time on my old laptop. I'm following the guide at: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB2_Quick_Start which seems easy enough. Basically just emerge it, install and go. However... two different questions: When I did this from a chroot, I just got the GRUB> prompt upon rebooting... no menu or anything. I can manually type "linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3" and then boot into my system. When I run grub2-mkconfig from within the chroot, I don't get any "Found linux image" lines. It does not create /boot/grub2/grub.cfg but rather grub.cfg.new. So I don't know if it's confused about where /boot is or what. Is there a trick to installing/updating grub2 config from within a chroot? Second, when running grub2-mkconfig from within my working gentoo system, it fails with "error: failed to get canonical path of /dev/root." which is apparently because I don't use an initramfs. I must manually run "ln -s /dev/sda3 /dev/boot" before it will work. Is there any trick to avoid having to do that every time? For now I have simply added that to my after-kernel-update script but I'm curious to know if grub2 knows how to handle this on its own somehow. Thanks, Paul

I haven't yet, because it is not just Chromium that's not working as it is supposed to (although it is the most vocal app on the terminal when called with tsocks). I haven't yet found an app which will work with tsocks at all. The fact that proxychains does not work at all (applications completely ignore it and run outside the tunnel) made me question the sanity of my set up. Is there anything other than coincidence that would cause both apps to fail? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

It almost certainly is, tsocks uses LD_PRELOAD to mangle it's magic so that stuff works. I believe chromium has severe issues with tsocks because of how it does it's sandboxing, but I honestly don't know how to get around that. On a properly setup Gentoo amd64 system, /lib is a link to /lib64, so the error you get is not a path error, the chromium binary really cannot (or will not) deal with tsocks.so I don't see anything wrong with the rest of your config.

Otherwise I am quite a happy Pulse user. :) Run alsamixer in a terminal while playing with pavucontrol; you'll see Alsamixer update live while Pulse tweaks ALSA's mixer settings. It's useful if you want to get a feel for what exactly Pulse is doing. On my desktop system, I found that if I had the Pulse master volume control set to about 70%, Pulse would have my various sliders set to just about their maximum setting before I started getting clipping noises. > > Is there a way to set the limiting thresholds?

Pulse is usually OK at managing ALSA in the background; you just have to do all your volume tweaking through pavucontrol if you intend for things to not change on you.

Your earlier email looks fine. Something about the list's distribution pattern changed, so simply clicking "Reply" doesn't work; I now have to click "Reply All". Anyway, I'd try taking others' suggestions, too, and possibly poking whatever PulseAudio support groups exist. They'll be interested in your circumstance. If it's possible to use Pulse reasonably on your hardware, they'll want to figure out how to make that less difficult to do. Also, Mark noted that there were sliders he hadn't tweaked before when he was experiencing similar issues, and it's plausible Pulse isn't poking those at all. Try watching alsamixer to see what Pulse is up to, and see if Pulse is passing over some of those sliders. -- :wq

In my case the distorted sound was primarily from my microphone and not, as I remember it, from playback.

Are there any ways to > increase the sound volume without increasing the mixer setting in ALSA? There are going to be multiple sliders which affect your playback volume. Without seeing a list of your sliders, I couldn't really guess which, beyond 'Master', 'PCM' and 'Headphone'. There may be others; my old Sound Blaster Live had a ton of internal signal processing sliders, and anything that involves amplification presents that risk. Each one of those will likely have a threshold where you'll risk clipping if you go above it. I.e. if PCM and Headphone are at 50, but Master is above $master_threshold, you may hear clipping. Likewise, if Master and Headphone are at 50, but PCM is above $pcm_threshold, you may hear clipping. Similarly, 'Headphone'... There is probably a combination of settings which works best, and sounds fine. The trouble, of course, is finding the maximum safe threshold for each. Me, I'm fortunate; my Intel-HDA-compatible cards all tend to say things like "-5dB" or "+20dB" when I'm using the console Alsamixer, and I've established that as long as they say "0dB", I get the best signal I can get. > Would a different sound card help? Sure; you could use a card with more post-mixer amplification. Or a card with little to no mixing options. Or an external amplifier. > Is there any way I can solve the > problem without buying new hardware? You might try using something like PulseAudio, which may be doing internal mixing in the floating point space before it maps back to 16-bit linear PCM. My experiences with PulseAudio have generally been positive in terms of audio quality. The trickiest part is getting applications to pipe their audio through it, followed by getting direct access to the card's mixer settings if I need it. But "pavucontrol" as a mixer control for PulseAudio works reasonably well for the majority of circumstances. > > Thanks a lot for help, np.

But if I start 'playing' something while still with PCM at 0 (no sound can be heard), then I start hearing irregular clipping sound. Is that what you expected? If I decrease the sound to a level where I stop hearing clipping, then I can barely hear the music. Although the same headphones play on my player fine. And It's a shame, that I indeed hear clipping. Are there any ways to increase the sound volume without increasing the mixer setting in ALSA? Would a different sound card help? Is there any way I can solve the problem without buying new hardware? Thanks a lot for help, I.

[gentoo-user] OT: Hack your TV
Howdy, I could not resist this posting. As many of you know, I've been a real pain in the microprocessor lately Particularly about Arm, A15 and Samsung. Well in keeping with that tradition, it seems Samsung TV's are now supporting SSH into them and directly and hacking the firmware: http://sourceforge.net/projects/samygo/ Samsung is also very progressive on the A-15 Arm development boards, which are sure to create quite a stir when they are widely available (soon I've heard): http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/03/07/samsung-exynos-5250-dual-core-cortex-a15-and-gaia-smdk-development-board/#ixzz1p5yR3p7B Samsung Galaxy Nexus cell-phone that runs SEandroid, natively: http://selinuxproject.org/page/SEAndroid Samsung is also moving aggresively to support open source drivers for (ARM) graphics chips: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Open-source-driver-for-ARM-s-Mali-graphics-appears-1432447.html ARM is preparing for domination and is looking rather cool these days and Samsung is surely one of the most appealing (ARM) vendors for the open source community. enjoy, James

I have a strong expectation that part of what you're hearing is system electrical noise. What happens when you set: * Master -> 100 * Headphone -> 100 * Everything else -> 0 ...but you're not playing anything? If you hear anything, then what you're hearing isn't something you can really deal with without using an external sound card. Any USB sound card would do fine. (A pair of 'gamer' headphones I bought at Best Buy advertised USB support...and it turns out they were packaged with a tiny USB<->3.5mm sound adapter.) If you don't hear the characteristic sound you're describing, then I'd expect you're encountering clipping. That's when the logical amplitude of a signal is greater than the medium holding it, and that happens a *lot* with integer PCM mixing and amplification. Unfortunately, there's little to no standardization as to what '0' and '100' mean between audio chipsets, so the best you can really do here is crank all of your sliders to maximum, and decrease some of them until you no longer hear the clipping. (And then remember which positions on the relevant sliders that corresponds to; it usually means you're getting no amplification, but also no attenuation.) -- :wq

Thanks for replying, I have muted everything, except Headphones, Master, Speaker and PCM outputs, which *are* necessary to get any sound out of my machine either with headphones or speakers.

[gentoo-user] Advice Needed: Conexant HD-Audio noisy audio
Dear all, It's been quite a while since I noticed this annoying behaviour, but I could not find any information what might cause this. So the problem is that at lower volumes my HD-Audio with Conexant becomes very noisy and this is regardless of the sound system or speakers/headphones I use. The noise can be described, as high pitched, sandy texture noise heard during more expressive parts of the music or speech. I experience this on two Thinkpads (x200s and x200) and it very evident when I connected external speakers, they produced a lot of this noise, or maybe I just could hear it better, because of the frequency response of the speakers. Does anybody have some similar issues? My current audio setup: * PulseAudio (but the problem is experienced with ALSA as well) * MPD for music playing * Conexant and other related modules compiled in, power-saving features enabled. What I have tried to eliminate the noise: * Various levels of Master,PCM,Headphone channels via Alsamixer * Increase the sample rate in MPD settings. The noise can be clearly head when I Have the following setting on my Alsamixer: * Master ~50 * PCM 100 * Headphone 100 Does anybody has any thoughts on why am I experiencing this? Thanks a lot, Ignas A.

Yes, but it does not work with the current stable kmail. The new KDEPIM is such a nightmare I do not plan moving to it anytime soon. It screwed up one box that I tried it on and that's enough for me. :-( Did you have any success with proxychains? I am not sure if the problem is related to the tsocks LD_PRELOAD error.

I tried the next part. It didn't work nicely for me. So what I do now is: Firefox + FoxyProxy and now I can set my proxy individually per site. All the internal work stuff accessed from home goes through the proxy, except the three sites only viewable from the outside; and everything else bypasses the proxy. Much better than trying to deal with a global proxy (although foxyproxy will do that too if that is what you need. And dispense with all the tsocks stuff. I see recent KDE now also supports socks.

I didn't see it the first time because I rebooted twice and only looked since
the second reboot, after spending a while googling for hints and forgetting

I always thought that setting the right environment variables was the purpose of that. I personally an Ubuntu-Live-Thumbdrive, because some time ago (2 years or so) it wasn't possible to install gentoo with LUKS on a btrfs volume from the gentoo minimal cd. The advantage of a live cd (especially for a beginner) is the possibility to read the manual and google problems while installing. Another possibility to do that would be an installation via ssh (works nice too).

Sometimes it does that, but that would happen when I play from the command line, too. And now it even works from Dolphin, when it is set to open mplayer in a terminal. So this cannot be the problem. And even if it were, avoiding thumbnails would be a bad workaround only, such operations should not affect video playback. Maybe this is somehow related to the other problem I had with mplayer2 only, using 100% CPU when idle, only when started from a file manager. Wonko

That problem drove me nuts for months. I finally discovered by

it. Finally!
The requirements are (from the error message):
If USE=ssl then use exactly one of the following:
curl_ssl_axtls
curl_ssl_cyassl
curl_ssl_gnutls
curl_ssl_openssl
curl_ssl_nss

You have the following set for curl (per eix):
curl_ssl_openssl
But the error message also says that this is required:
net-misc/curl[ssl,curl_ssl_nss] by liboauth
You cannot have curl_ssl_nss and curl_ssl_openssl both set for curl as
liboauth complains
So, what you need to do is set
USE="-curl_ssl_openssl curl_ssl_nss" for curl
If you read my post carefully and see how all the bits fit the output
you supplied, it all makes sense. Portage output is not exactly
intuitive but it can be understood.
Or you could unset USE="curl" for liboauth.
I don't know if you'll be willing to switch from curl_ssl just to make
liboauth happy. That's your call.

Exporting like this, also fails to load it for chromium: $ export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libtsocks.so $ tsocks sh LD_PRELOAD="/lib/libtsocks.so" $ tsocks chromium [5052:5065:973215173:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(239)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files ERROR: ld.so: object '/lib/libtsocks.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. If I set up socks within the firefox application Advanced/Network settings, without using tsocks, the connection succeeds through the ssh tunnel. Therefore I am confident that the tunnel itself is working as a socks5 server. This is what I have in /etc/socks/tsocks.conf server = 127.0.0.1 server_type = 5 server_port = 12465 Similarly, I get no connection if I use proxychains. Any idea what I am doing wrong here? -- Regards, Mick

The bug report got some updates, it's not Dolphin's or KDE's fault, but mplayer2's, happens whenever it is started from a file manager. Something with terminal keyboard controls enabled by the file manager, but with stdin not being connected to anything readable. It's fixed upstream: http://devel.mplayer2.org/ticket/146 Meanwhile, option -noconsolecontrols also helps. Wonko

For me it did, half a year ago, several packages failed to build due to strange libtool errors. It took me some days until I found the solution: unset path. Libtool uses this variable without unsetting it before, and SystemRescueCD defines it as environment variable, which is still available in the chroot. This messed things up a lot. Apart from that, I really like SystemRescueCD. Wonko

I no longer have to worry about running out of inodes :-) Rgds,
