  8. Can't boot on my Funtoo

    in Desktop Help

    Posted

    I noticed the that burned OS in my pen was odd. Took a friend's pen and tried again burning the same rescuecd and it worked out. Discovered too, that there are some .iso images that doesn't contain a valid MBR inside of it. To activate a correction to this a user can look for the isohybrid tool, then burn the .iso with dd in the pen.

     

    steps to sucessfully create a .iso with a valid MBR section "bootable pendrive" (it worked in all distros, even FreeBSD)  that I've tried so far :) )

    BTW: it you get interested in burning an OpenBSD OS I suggest you use image_name.fs (don't try to install it in a HP machine, its BIOS sucks :P )

     

    with a pen in your notebook/PC...

     

    sudo emerge -av syslinux dosfstools

    isohybrid ~/path_to_your_iso

    lsblk (to identify which device is your pen)

     

    if you need to format your pen, rather use fat32:

    sudo mkfs.vfat -I path_to_your_pen

     

    then:

     

    sudo dd if=~/path_to_your_iso of=path_to_your_pen ("/dev/sdb" in my OS for e.g.)

     

    wait a few minutes to let it write to your pendrive, by the end of the process it shall report you its activities.

     

    notes:

    isohybrid is available under the syslinux package

    mkfs.vfat is available under the dosfstools package 

  10. Can't boot on my Funtoo

    in Desktop Help

    Yesterday night I performed a global upgrade of all my packages, noticed that it had genkernel updates included. The system upgraded nice and clean. I was doing my work while it worked. Turned off my PC after a depclean. But it seems that I had to eselect and boot-update the new kernel before doing that for now I can't boot to my OS anymore. Ok...

    Burned a System rescuecd 4.7.1 (the most recent on the install page). To try mounting my Funtoo installation directories and doing what I forgot last night.

     

    My problem is, everytime I boot this System rescuecd from my pen or any of the latest versions of it. I get at certain boot part of this cd what follows:

    'Error: Cannot mount sysrcd.dat (none ....kernel details....)'

    and it gives me the basic terminal.

     

    (By the way, I'm currently having to use my Windows instalation, that's the only one that still works and burning the systemrescuecd with lili, (this kind of thing) is one of those situations that never gave any problem such as I reported...

     

    I'm stuck, for it never happened to me before. My computer hardware is very recent too. Can any of you guys possibly have an idea for me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi!

    So I need to create a .asoundrc defining the other card to play. I assume your .asoundrc doesn't work for me. Considering that I got these two:

     cat /proc/asound/cards 
 0 [HDMI           ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDMI
                      HDA Intel HDMI at 0xf0514000 irq 31
 1 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                      HDA Intel PCH at 0xf0510000 irq 32

    but what is the required syntax to set the correct card in this file?

     

    So far I tried what I read at gentoo/funtoo alsa page:

    nano .asoundrc

    
pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 0
}

ctl.!default {
        type hw
        card 1
}

    Another thing, I saw at the same page that there is a command to test my audio card output. But it reports that the file or the directory doesn't exist, is it normal?

    aplay -D default test.wav
aplay: main:722: audio open error: No such file or directory

    Hi, I found a way to get alsamixer working and managed to change it's configurations. It does identify: default,  HDA Intel HDMI(chip Intel haswell) and HDA Intel PCH(chip Realtek ALC887-V). However just the last one shows up channels to be configured. I've unmuted Master, but no sound yet.

     

    The results your requested...

    I've been looking for other clues and came across profiling and mix-ins. Wouldn't be necessary to use them in order to play something?

    I have setup a core flavor so far.

     

    Details above:

    !!! Found 2 make.conf files, using both '/etc/make.conf' and '/etc/portage/make.conf'

=== Enabled Profiles: ===

        arch: pure64
       build: current
     subarch: intel64-haswell-pure64
      flavor: core
     mix-ins: (not set)


=== All inherited flavors from core flavor: ===

                         minimal (from core flavor)

    I also ran the alsa script again and it gave me what follows:

    By the way, as I did get alsamixer working from removing every older config file of it and reinstalling it the emerging again alsa-lib my volumeicon recognizes the configs set by alsamixer.

  19. Alsa, no sound

    in Desktop Help

    Posted

    Hello everyone I've just finished installing Funtoo in my desktop and managed to get almost everything to work, but still I've not been able to configure sound with alsa.

     

    I've installed awesome and created a widget for sound control that calls up alsa. But every time I try to open alsa from it I get an error, just the same if I try it directly from terminal:

     

    lambd0x@lambd0x ~ $ alsamixer
    cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
    lambd0x@lambd0x ~ $ sudo alsamixer
    cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
     

    And the widget doesn't show any interface, just default. What can I do to get it working?

    Thanks for your time :)
