I also use onboard cards but it's hard to find a X99 motherboard with integrated graphics and displayport.

zgredek

Hypnos, steveL thank you for answering.

So I need additional soundcard and a graphics card (preferably nvidia) that is supported by the kernel.

Do older cards even support DisplayPort which is recommended for 4K?

imo, you can install Gentoo without any doubt.

Anyone using a setup like this?
I'm looking for more practical advice..

Hello,

I'm in the process of completing gear for a new PC and I was wondering, is Gentoo a good choice for a high-end desktop installation using i7@lga2011, ddr4, SSDs, 4K displays and so on?

Are there any other distros you'd recommend?

I'm running Gentoo for many years on server and desktop so ...

0 codecs loaded for your soundcard.
look here : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6339697.html#6339697

Ok, so how do you explain the fact that:

ecasound -i tone,sine,880 -o alsa

produces a sound (tone) through alsa?

Plus, the same modules were loaded before the crash and no kernel update ...

Thank you fot all the ideas, however none of them helped...

Recently, while playing with variuos options with my microphone I think i broke some settings on my soundcard...

The command after which it stoped working (copied from the log) is:

emerge --sync

Last time emerge --sync broke my portage, so I'm not sure I want to fix it again..

The thing here is if you untared python-2. 6 .4.tbz2 on /
then your /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python2 should be using python2.6 not python2.5

try resetting that symlink manually, at least for now.

# ls -l /usr/bin/python{,2}

zgredek

True that, sys-apps/portage owns (/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_selinux.py).

Why not grab both a dev-lang/python and sys-apps/portage from tinderbox and untar them on /
Check the /usr/bin/python symlink again.

Then post your emerge --info.

# ls -l /usr/bin/python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2010 ...

zgredek

Yeah, that's a completely different problem as selinux isn't a standard module. You might be able to work around it by putting an empty selinux.py file in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages, and then remerge portage (IIRC it includes the selinux module).

Find selinux.py returns nothing.

I never ...

zgredek

I would definitely try what krinn said: cd /usr/bin
ln -s python2.6 python
rm python2
ln -s python2.6 python2
and try again: python -c "import os"

Tried that and....

emerge --info does not work but i somehow managed to make it print some info (but not emerge stuff) before.

Below is the kernel version + my make.conf, hope something pops out.

Seriously, there's nothing else I could do?

I've always thought Linux doesn't need reinstall no matter what...

zgredek

None of these seems to help...

Is reinstall the only solution?

zgredek

Ok, get rid of that Python-2.6.4 folder, because it can interfere.
Also make sure that eselect python show = python2.6
and run python-updater

# rm -rf Python-2.6.4
# eselect python show
python2.6

zgredek

Make sure your python symlink is correct # eselect python set --python2 python2.6
eselect python list --python2
Did you remove that Python-2.6.4 folder from the previous repairs ?

Symlink:

You can also reset the profile (I think you use #1)
Code: Select all
eselect profile set --force 1

package.use is empty.

Code: Select all

# eselect profile set --force 1

Profile was already set to 1.

Do you have an selinux USE flag enabled somewhere?

Maybe run revdep-rebuild also.

The log contains only the last message (No module named selinux).

Hmmm. It's the first time I see this fail.

did you use the portage-2.1.6 distfile?

Mike Hunt, I already (url) tried fixing the portage manually - still the same.

Please post your emerge --info . Given the last message, I assume you messed with a selinux install / profile.

I'm afraid, emerge doesn't work at all:

I'm sorry - still getting a similar error:
