Knock yourself out! VirtualBox runs great from my experiences

Have you actually started the playback with an mpd client such as ncmpc?

Recall that mpd is only a server and that it needs a client program to instruct it what playlist to run.

Apparantly, compiz-fusion defaults to the wrong libGL.so, so you have to force it to use the xorg version: - That worked for me anyways

I had the same problem. Have a look here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-491004.html

Hm, I actually put the ipv6 USE flag in there after the compile failed the first time, thinking they might be related..

Try emerge --sync and then re-emerge iputils .
I tried this and it compiled. It didn't download a new tarball of the package though, as I already had it in /usr/portage/distfiles

I did an emerge --resume --skipfirst after the system emerge compile failed repeatedly, so the rest of the system ...

Hiya all,

I'm installing Gentoo on my new Via Epia MS 10000E with an Eden 1GHz processor, and it comes up with an error when compiling iputils no matter what I do (so it seems)..
I'm bootstrapping the system as per the FAQ in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml#stage12 , and the emerge -e system ...

Mythos,

Your file sizes are the same as mine (which were obviously wrong in the post below :) )

Try doing a
> strace -etrace=open /opt/ati/bin/fglrxinfo
And see exactly which libGL.so.1 it reads (look for the line that doesn't have a ' = -1').

Maybe you just need to rebuild your ld.so cache ...

Mythos, check that you've got the ATi libGL.so.1.2 installed in the default library path (/usr/lib) and not the Mesa one (Mesa is ~800kB while ATi is ~150kB..)

Internal.

I got that sorted out by putting ${WORKDIR}/usr/X11R6/lib64 to ${ATI_ROOT}/lib (see the ebuild) but GLX still doesn't work. Anyone got an idea what to put where to make this work?

I got it fixed (I think) like this (didn't alter the ebuild file):

> cd /usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib/
> mv libGL.so.1 ...

Does the ebuild do things as it should? Or does it put the 32 Bit lib in the wrong place? Check with:
file /usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so.1.2
Right on the money!

Uhm, whenever I try to load anything GLish after installing it, I get:

Sounds like an OpenGL thing? Have you run the opengl-update ...

PROBLEM SOLVED

Cookbook solution:
As described in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1916224#1916224 :
Upgrade kernel to 2.6.10
Find the file libata.h (in /usr/include/linux or /usr/src/linux-2.6.10<release>/include/linux/ )
Edit the line near the top of the file:
#undef ATA_ENABLE ...

Yeah, that seems to be the problem.
I stumbled upon this solution somewhere else as well and tried doing the #define.

This, however is not advisable with the 2.6.9 kernel, as it does make the kernel detect the CD drive during startup, but also makes it hang immediately afterwards. :)

Hi,

I've got a problem with detection of my SATA DVD+R/CR+RW combo on my nForce3 350 based system.

The setup is such that I have two SATA devices: My harddisk, off which the Gentoo install runs just find, and my CDROM, which Linux does not detect.

I find it a bit wierd that it would detect one ...
