Re: [gentoo-user] I have no sound in my gentoo install.
You have still not provided anywhere near enough information for us to help you. What sound device are you trying to use? Built into the motherboard? Plug in USB? Bluetooth? Is there any chance that sound is turned off in your BIOS settings? Are you sure the kernel module to drive your device is either built in to the kernel or as a module and loaded? Just saying "I tried and it didn't work" is not enough information. Is there anything about sound in dmesg or /var/log/messages? What init system are you using? systemd, openrc, or something else? Does that need any service started for sound? All the previous replies gave you more questions, which you have not yet answered. In terms of replying to the list or the person who sent the message to which you are replying, look at the "To:" field in your email software before you hit "Send." You need to see the list address there. Your email software probably has a "Reply Group" or "Reply List" button. If not, you may need to use "Reply All" and not just "Reply."

I use ALSA here but if I recall correctly, I had to unmute three separate pieces of software to get sound working. Also, adjust volume levels as well. I think setting a value of half, 50 in most controls, will get you some sound. Later you can come back and adjust if needed. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)

Well, I found out that systemd is very sensitive to the case of the keywords -- I had service instead of Service and it was silently ignored -- hate that. I don't know why it started, but putting Standardoutput to syslog seems to have fixed it. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?

[gentoo-user] gsutil dependencies
Hi,
after updating as usual (and making python 3.10 default), gsutil doesn't
work any more. First, it claimed missing "aiohttp", and after installing
that manually, it now says
pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (rsa 4.8
(/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages), Requirement.parse('rsa==4.7.2'),
{'gcs-oauth2-boto-plugin'})
But dev-python/rsa exists only in 4.8-r1, and gcs-oauth2-boto-plugin is
3.0 (old 2.7 would exist).
Obviously something (what?) would expect dev-python/rsa to be 4.7.2, but
downgrading seems not to be possible.
eselect python back to 3.9 doesn't help either, nor does
emerge -1 gsutil gcs-oauth2-boto-plugin
Can I override that version conflict? How? Or what can I do?
Thanks,
-Matt

Yes, and that's a good reason for not doing so. I have another machine running ~amd64; this one's stable for everyday use. Well, it's supposed to be stable. :) I did keyword firefox to test SP against the sound system, but I've reverted to the older version. > As a side note, by default, searching using `emerge --search` does not > show the available masked versions (not sure if an option exists to > change that).
