[gentoo-user] No Sound After Reboot, or, More Troubles with Firmware?

[Hunter Jozwiak]

Hello again,

While fixing my wifi card issues, I came across yet another issue. I
set the snd-hda-intel PCH as my default soundcard, but I have no sound
whatsoever, which renders the system pretty much inoperable to me. I
tried the following:
amixer set Master unmute
amixer set Speaker unmute
amixer set Headphone unmute
These all went to no evail; no speech from espeakup, and nothing from
speaker-test. Am I missing something here? Is there an amixer set All
unmute or something? configlessnd_hda_intel is enabled as a module, as
is the Realtek codec; the system picked up on the device fine.

Thanks,

Hunter

That particular firmware does not exist. I am trying to figure how far
back I need to rollback the kernel. Sabayon's live ISO is using
4.13.0, but that is no longer in the tree. Not sure if I need to go
back to the 4.12 ebuilds, or if 4.13.5 will suit my needs; perhaps
there is a bit of source code that I can look at to see what is being
used for the firmware?

Hmm. I have kernel 4.14.7 and linux-firmware 20171206. I tried version

[gentoo-user] Loading a Firmware Module By hand?

[Hunter Jozwiak]

Hi,

I have an ath10k_pci device that I'm trying to get hooked to the
Internet, but I'm having some strange issues. It is trying to load the
2.1 firmware, but I don't think that is the proper firmware for the
interface to have; I think it ought to be loading the 3.0 module, but
am not quite sure on that either, or how I could go about injecting
that into the modprobe; I wasn't able to pinpoint the firmware blob
the ISO was using, so that wasn't much of a pointer in the right
direction either. I see that the 3.0 blob does exist in
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCABLEFAGD/HW3.0, but there are many bin files,
so choosing the right one is a bit tricky by the looks of things.
Earlier today, I had read the Gentoo wiki on the topic, which
suggested that I compile the blob into the kernel itself, but the link
they gave only described the advantages and disadvantages of modular
kernels and how to drop kmod if you're using a moduleless kernel. Does
anybody have any insight on this matter?

Thanks,

Hunter

[gentoo-user] How to Fix Extraoardinarily Loud Alsa?

[Hunter Jozwiak]

Hi,

I finally got the base install of Gentoo done, but I've come across a
really interesting probleing. After installing Alsa and enabling its
daemon, I had copied the asound.conf from the distro I was using on to
the system. Unfortunately, this give the side effect that ALSA is
extremely loud (I would guess top volume), and none of the sliders
seem to work. I am using my Intel high definition audio card. Has
anyone come across a similar issue? If so, how did you go about fixing
it?

[gentoo-user] A List of Module Descriptions

[Hunter Jozwiak]

Hi,

 

In my quest to install Gentoo and get it chugging along, I am wondering if
there is a database that explains what a particular kernel module does so
that I don't break something that doesn't need to be changed or enable
something that I ought not to have enabled.

It depends on your use-case and preference, but hardened is often a good
choice for something that will offer external services (as in over the
Internet).

The Linode configurations, last time I checked, were significantly out of
date (including their Gentoo deployment image). Depending on your level of
paranoia, it may be reasonable for you to boot your Linode using their
rescue environment and perform a stage-3 install that way.
Otherwise, you can simply deploy their Gentoo image and update/harden as
necessary.

As for kernel configuration, I don't recall seeing anything specifically,
however they do include their default kernel configuration in either
/boot/config* or /proc/config.gz, so you can use that as a base.

>> And finally, I am going to have

There isn't a package, however depending on how you configure the kernel,
you can either just copy the .config from one host or another, or the kernel
make program has options to build archives of the built kernel - see `make
help` for details.

Hardened is not one be-all solution - you can use some hardened features and
not others. For example, you can convert to the hardened profile and do not
necessarily need to use hardened-sources. Similarly, if you *do* use
hardened-sources, you do not need to enable an RBAC (such as GRSecurity or
SELinux).

If you do use PaX in the kernel, though, you will need to also be on a
hardened profile to have binaries marked appropriately.

Okay. Thanks for that information. Is there a more descriptive version of

of the USE flags, which in turn opened up another three hundred plus USE

[gentoo-user] Giving Gentoo Another Go

[Hunter Jozwiak]

Hello,

 

After talking to a few diehard Gentoo fans at my local LUG, I decided I
would like to give Gentoo another shot. Are there any good books that can
supplement the Gentoo handbook as well as books that go more in depth than
the Gentoo chapter on Portage? One of the main issues I faced with Gentoo
when I first tried it is that I did not understand the power of package.use,
and I put everything in to make.conf. However, I feel that given enough
supplemental information, I can hopefully make Gentoo attempt 6 a more
permanent thing, and, eventually, migrate my servers over to it. Any input
is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Unless they or Ubuntu are carrying out-of-mainline drivers I'd say your 
assurance is more than slight, but I'm not reimbursing you if for some reason 
it doesn't work.  :)

If you want to run a 2.6-series kernel on it you could have problems, but if 
you don't mind running a recent stable (ie what Gentoo ships by default anyway) 
I suspect you'll be fine.  Worst case you'll just run closer to bleeding-edge 
on ~arch for the kernel for a few months until longterm catches up, and lots of 
people around here run ~arch anyway.

[gentoo-user] System76 Hardware

[Hunter Jozwiak]

Hi gang. I am looking in to buying a System76 rig, and I am curious as to
how Gentoo and System76 play together. What installation steps do I need to
beware of when installing to such laptops? What CFLAGS are good to have, and
CXXFLAGS, for that matter? Aside from the obvious hardware modules, what
else would be good to build in to a kernel? I have been doing some research
on the matter, but my results have been inconclusive.

[gentoo-user] Did Gnome 3.12 Just Drop?

[Hunter Jozwiak]

Hi all. I had installed Gnome 3.10 a few days ago, and now things have
been migrating towards 3.12 Has Gnome 3.12 just launched for the x86
platforms, or is there something amiss with Portage that I should
check? I get this weird update process: it gives me a version, such as
4.0, but the next day bumps me up to 4.1, which is weird, since logic
would say that 4.1 is the newest, you'd want it over 4.0. Or is it the
SLOTS technology? I've not quite gotten that concept yet.

mail-client/thunderbird ''' Emerging 1 of 20 mail-client/thunderbird
compile. But for whatever reason, I broke this feature. Is there a
way to reclaim it? I suspect it broke after an update I did, but I

The ebuild is trying to apply a patch but the patch file does not exist.
Most patch files are included in the portage tree and occasionally a dev

Run emerge --sync and try again. If the problem persists, file a bug at

[gentoo-user] iOS and Linux

[Hunter Jozwiak]

Hi all. I enabled the ios use flag in make.conf, but what is the
proper proceedure to mount the device so I can bring over my music? I
am using Gnome; I'd imagine I'd have to emerge some kind of extension
for nautilus. The device in particular is an iPod fifth gen, running
iOS 7.1.

[gentoo-user] Confusing Portage Outcomes

[Hunter Jozwiak]

Hi all. I made the following in /etc/portage/make.conf
#ACCEPT_LICENS=*
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86
Save and exit.
To double check, I ran:
#emerge --info | grep -i accept
ACCEPT_LICENSES=* -@EULA
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86 ~x86
The way it looks, the file just appended what I want to the Portage
default. As far as the keywords variable is concerned, that will cause
issues. Do I need to negate the defaults with the -?

 ACCEPT_LICENSES is commented out; so, yes, it'll use the default.
 
 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS I think that ~x86 includes, similar to how maintainers
 specify KEYWORDS=x86 and not KEYWORDS=x86 ~x86 in their ebuilds;
 I'm not entirely sure, but I think that would be the case.
 
 You can check with something like ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 ~ppc ~x86
 which might result in something that lists all the stable ones as well.
 
 Negating x86 with - could be a possible solution; however, I wonder if
 that's what you want as some packages have only stable versions.

I commented that out for the purposes of having it in the email as a sort of

[gentoo-user] Can't Get Systemd to Work

Hi all. I am having issues with Systemd as well. I added to the GRUB2

reason, doesn't automount my /boot partition. Is there a fix to this?

It is standard practice to not mount the /boot partition. By the time the
boot process gets to mounting what is in /etc/fstab, /boot is no longer
needed. That's why it is usually set to noauto in fstab.

 Am pretty sure there's no need to add this one to /etc/conf.d/modules -
IME it'll just be found and loaded automagically by the kernel.

 Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't aware of that. As I mentioned 
 in my previous post, I do not use genkernel myself.
 
 Neither do I - for this reason I found it a little frustrating trying to
help in a recent thread, myself.
 
 However, I'm pretty sure that loadable kernel modules behave the same
whether your kernel is built by hand or by genkernel - if you have modules
listed in /etc/conf.d/modules then I have to wonder if you really need them
there.
 
 I haven't used that file for years, and I prefer to compile everything as
a module, too.


Some modules don't autoload, usually because there's no hardware they drive
and so nothing to probe.

netfilter modules come to mind, as well as VirtualBox. One of the vbox
modules doesn't autoload by just stating VirtualBox, so the easiest is to
put it in /etc/conf.d/modules so it's always available. It's an edge case,
so the vast majority of modules load properly without intervention form us.

That's the best option, as portage will keep the firmware updated. If your

Looks like the kernel driver for your wireless NIC is RTL8192CE
-
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/Kconfig:12,22
config RTL8192CE
tristate Realtek RTL8192CE/RTL8188CE Wireless Network Adapter
depends on PCI
select RTL8192C_COMMON
select RTLWIFI
select RTLWIFI_PCI
---help---
This is the driver for Realtek RTL8192CE/RTL8188CE 802.11n PCIe
wireless network adapters.

If you choose to build it as a module, it will be called rtl8192ce
-
If you like to check if RTL8192CE is enabled in  your kernel's .config file.
If it isn't, you probably want to compile it as a module, and then add
rtl8192ce to /etc/conf.d/modules as well.

Oddly enough, I had a few other CONFIG modules not included, namely
CONFIG_80211. But, when I activated it, my kernel got bricked, and on
reboot, I got dumped in some prompt that said that the system couldn't find
a root and I should press Enter to continue, Q to skip, and something else
would give me a shell. I just did a genkernel --menuconfig kernel and built
in the modules, the compile went smooth, and I made no other changes. But
now, like I've mentioned, I've got a bricked kernel.

 what you need to do is
 # genkernel --menuconfig kernel
 then make sure that speakup is selected
 
 conf.d/modules is for kernel modules marked m
 mostly, these are loaded when needed by programs or drivers as required,
 but sometimes you want the module loaded in advance -- in that case you
 list them in conf.d/modules
 
After genkernel all? Because I cannot find the module in the menuconfig kernel.

I'd assume that module is the m part? As for how to recompile the

 And reemerged the espeakup software; same error message, and on
 reboot, no software speech. Am I enabling the modules in an incorrect
 manner? If so, how to I get them to work?

 I don't think those are the correct  module names, you can tell by
 looking at your kernel configs to see what speakup modules you have
 chosen.  Module names do not usually have config_ at the beginning.

 I'm not the OP, but this is what I see:

 $ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i speak
 # Speakup console speech
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_ACNTSA=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_ACNTPC=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_APOLLO=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_AUDPTR=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_BNS=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_DECTLK=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_DECEXT=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_DECPC=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_DTLK=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_KEYPC=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_LTLK=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_SOFT=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_SPKOUT=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_TXPRT=m
 CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_DUMMY=m

[gentoo-user] Planned Installation Steps

[Hunter Jozwiak]

Hi all. Is it safe to install Gentoo in a course of days? Today, I
plan to get the partitions set up, mounted, and get all the stage3
things installed, maybe install the kernel if time permits. My
question, along with the safety of the installation over days is what
is the best way to unmount partitions?

 Depends on your experience.
 
 An experienced gentoo user installs from scratch in maybe one or 2 hours
 (following the installation docs, knowing his way, good internet access
 ... ).

 This question sounds like you might need more than 2 hours.
 
 I wonder if the answer is really umount ?
 
 (aside from the discussion if you unmount partitions or filesystems)

The install will exceed well over two hours. Installing espeakup and 
dependencies takes half a day at best. Sorry, I did mean umount.
