Hardware is Asus Xonar STX II with the 7.1 daughterboard Analog Surround 5.1 is selected in xfce4-volumed-pulse. If I do speaker-test -c 6 all is right. Front audio is put through the front speakers. But if I play sound in Firefox and/or Chromium (eg. youtube) the sound is mainly coming through the rear speakers. Any advice? If you need more info please let me know, thanks! Run alsamixer (media-sound/alsa-utils). Press F6, select the Xonar and look for a "Stereo Upmix" setting. Also, make sure you're using the "Virtuoso" kernel driver (SND_VIRTUOSO), not the C-Media "Oxygen" one (SND_OXYGEN). The Virtuoso driver should provide the correct mixer controls for Xonar cards. (The Oxygen driver works too, since the Xonar cards use the Oxygen chip, but it might not provide Xonar-specific mixer controls.)

[gentoo-user] SNAFU: TO THE N'TH POWER!
To make a boot disk in DOS you have two options. Format /s x: and Sys x: Once this is done, the new disk will boot perfectly [period] . So what I did was I deleted my botched UEFI partition, and created two new partitions, each of half-size. I mark ... well.: #33 localhost ~ # fdisk -l /dev/sdc Disk /dev/sdc: 256.2 GiB, 275064201216 bytes, 537234768 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 00C7D602-412C-4505-8992-0482855EDEF9 Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sdc12048264191262144 128M EFI System /dev/sdc2 526336 537233407 536707072 255.9G Linux filesystem /dev/sdc3 264192526335262144 128M BIOS boot Partition table entries are not in disk order. localhost ~ # I then set up my crap. on the BIOS boot partition, adjust the grub.cfg entries on that partition to expect to show up as hd0/sda[*] and try to boot the mofo... I got some BIOS errors regarding a boot failure, I'm not sure what that's about. =( I adjusted my d-ram voltage back to 1.475 which is what I think it needs to be...

[gentoo-user] julia against libgit2-0.25.1
Hello there, someone with problems on julia after upgrade libgit2 to 0.25.1 version? Since them i'm facing a impossibility to upgrade packages. And yes, julia was recompiled against new libgit2. julia> Pkg.update() INFO: Updating METADATA... ERROR: METADATA cannot be updated. Resolve problems manually in /home/rodolfo/.julia/v0.5/METADATA.

Looking at your original "tree" output, it looks like you're mounting the ESP at "/boot" and that grub's being loaded from "/boot/EFI/gentoo/grubx64.efi". What are the grub.cfg lines that start with "search" and "set root"?

Immediately retrying it on my desktop worked, but on my laptop it took a few retries (*no* changes in- between) for portage to offer the upgrade. (Actually, for $reasons, I wanted to do --fetchonly first, which took a few retries, then do the upgrade proper, which took several more tries before the error went away again.) Naturally, I haven't had any problems since...

You to Neil. ROFL It also helps if you know multiple languages and can switch between them at will. I once had a call from someone wanting to sell me something. The conversation kept switching to different languages and the person kept asking me to repeat what I said. I would simply repeat the same, but in a different language.
