I'd like to announce that I'm in #gentoostudio on Freenode. I'm not always at keyboard, but I often am. I don't always have the answer, but I'll do what I can to help you if you get stuck on anything. I want it to work! :)

Note: I'll make #gentoostudio stick with a bot at some point, but for now, it depends on me being logged in - but I usually am during the day, EST, some but not all weekends included.

GentooStudio.org has been updated. Specifically, the manual installation instructions just got a thorough workout and fixup from me.

Comments and suggestions, as always, are welcome for the sake of improvement.

The stage 4 tarball is now up-to-date, as is the stage 4 installation guide. I am very interested in receiving comments and criticisms in the name of improvement.

The Gentoo Studio stage 4 install is faster and easier than a manual install without sacrificing anything of what makes Gentoo, well, Gentoo. A huge advantage of this installation method is that a number of fixes for getting some audio programs installed (orphaned SRC_URIs are common, for example) have been taken care of.

There have been some recent changes to the Portage tree that affects audio packages. Please see the Gentoo Studio site for more information.

I'm not sure what you mean by "booted due USB stage3", but I have no documentation or support for USB installation. I think it's a good idea, though, so I'm going to mentally add it to my to-do list.

For the rest, I would like to help you, but you really need to provide much more detail as to what went wrong.

Just a quick note to anyone who might be posting with comments or requests for help: I have been undergoing some post-op therapy (nothing serious, but it does eat up my time). I'm still around and available for help, but if you really need something, please go to the Gentoo Studio site (gentoostudio.org) and find the webmaster email address on the home page. I will get a message from you that way much sooner than I will here for the time being.

And as I pointed out above, please be very detailed. With nothing to go on, I can't help you. That means log outputs, copy-and-paste, even photo-of-your-screen will help.

Hi,
Actually I have a question pertaining the use flags in GentooStudio. Can anyone post them here (emerge --info)?
What is the audio stack in GentooStudio (alsa, oss, jack)? Is pulseaudio expunged alltogether or has some presence in there?
Could any one share an opinion about missing apps in GS that are otherwise present perhaps in other distros for musicians. How much GentooStudio share with kxstudio.sourceforge.net ?

EDIT:
On another note, there is a project that automates the manual process of installing a portage based distro; http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kicktoo. Time permitting I will look into it and see how easy it would be create a "gentoostudio.profile" and be happy with it :-)


Thanks for any input

Agryppa

I recently had the opportunity to make a fresh install of Gentoo Studio on my own DAW (rather than my dev machine), and that showed me I had a couple of gaps to fill in the stage 4 installation documentation. Most notably, it was missing a section explaining that make.conf must be modified to fit YOUR system.

As always, comments are welcome.

I'm away from both my own DAW and my GS dev machine, but the stage4 tarball does contain pre-set use flags. I'll try to remember to post them here next time I fire up either machine.

ALSA/JACK, with minimal OSS support for any older devices that might need it. Pulseaudio is not included only because I haven't played around and become familiar with it yet. Advice on Pulseaudio is welcome.

I know nothing but kxstudio, but I'll check it out. Any programs that are missing can be suggested and I'll work on including them in the stage4 tarball.

That would be super! Creating a Gentoo "pro-audio" use flag profile has been on my plate for a long time. I just haven't gotten around to it. If you do it, send it my way and I'll include it in GS, with credit.
