Hi all. I just installed on a new Macbook Pro It was relatively easy ( for me ), but there are some *critical* issues that would prevent others ...
1) No firmware in /lib64/firmware. This means lots of wireless devices won't work out-of-the-box. I realise lots of people will also have ethernet devices, USB wireless devices, etc, etc, but still ... adding firmware would make things a whole lot easier. It's worth pointing out that MBPs don't have an ethernet device at all, but use thunderbolt ports to connect to ethernet via something I don't have.
2) Something was totally broken WRT dbus, which prevented NetworkManager from managing my network devices, even after I'd grabbed the firmware from another running system ( again, not an option for everyone, and totally non-obvious ), copied it to a USB disk, etc, etc. I eventually fixed it by re-installing dbus ( emerge -1 dbus ) and rebooting. Oh - this was also troublesome ... I had to see what sources portage was trying to fetch, download them on a running system, copy to USB, frig around ...
For people curious, I'm having major issues getting a real-time kernel booting on this hardware The default Sabayon kernel ( 4.1.0 currently ) works fine, so I'm booting with that at the moment. |

Sounds correct - USB audio midi. I assume it's not working properly? |

Users of Gentoo Studio (and related overlays): please let me know which packages you find useful. I would like to get a better selection of music production packages into our main gentoo repo.

@yngwin: zita-ajbridge is one that Michel Dominique recommended a while back as essential; I see media-libs/zita-alsa-pcmi in main-tree, but no idea what that's about. (Info from someone who knows more would be useful, as ever.) |

Just to be clear, what exactly did you install? Gentoo via Gentoo Handbook, Gentoo Studio manual install, or the Gentoo Studio tarball? _________________ decibel Linux: https://decibellinux.org

You're welcome !!

I don't even know if I will be a fan of GTK in the future, as I've heard that GTK3 will require systemd (I prefer OpenRC). But I'll blow up that bridge when I get to it.
I'm also planning to redo the stage 4 tarball this year - from scratch. A lot has changed, and I want to clean out a bunch of cruft. While doing that, I am going to stop trying so hard to install packages that are difficult to compile, usually because they are not actively maintained any more. But I think in the end, it will be a much better tarball.
EDIT:
Enlightenment might give me a run for the money, too. |
can t wait to see your new tarball with XFCE !!! |

http://gentoostudio.org/index.php/74-december-2015-update
Work has started on a rebuild of the stage 4 tarball. Instead of swapping out a hard drive on my laptop, I have installed an extra drive in my actual DAW I will use for this purpose.
The new tarball will use Xfce4 as the desktop environment, but you are always welcome to trash it in favor of something else once Gentoo Studio is installed.
This rebuild also gives me an opportunity to update the manual install guide.
At this time, I am requesting feedback on audio devices that do and do not work out of the box. For devices that did not work out of the box, if you can provide detailed steps you took to make your device(s) work, I will try to include that device in the tarball. You will need to have installed Gentoo Studio from the tarball, and not have used the manual install guide.
No deadline is set for the new tarball, but I will post updates.
Follow the link above to see a couple of pics of Gentoo Studio's new dev home (n00b l337 h0|\/|3). _________________ decibel Linux: https://decibellinux.org

Hi!
I noticed that your overlay uses media-sound/hydrogen-0.9.5.1:
Quote: |
http://gentoostudio.org/index.php/ebuilds-scripts
media-sound/hydrogen-0.9.5.1.ebuild
In preparation for QT5, qt packages were moved and renamed in Portage. x11-libs/qt-gui and x11-libs/qt-core are now dev-qt/gtgui and dev-qt/qtcore. This causes packages depending on these to break until they are updated. Packages in the main Portage tree have been fixed, but packages in overlays may not have been fixed yet. This ebuild contains the correct references to qtgui and qtcore.
|
I am working on the following version bump:
Bug 570814 - media-sound/hydrogen: Version bump to 0.9.6
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=570814
https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/releases
Quote: |
Hydrogen 0.9.6.1
@mauser mauser released this on 10 Sep 2014
Hydrogen 0.9.7-beta1
@mauser mauser released this on 16 Oct 2015 · 70 commits to master since this release |
Just to let you know, in case it's of interest! |

6 MANUAL INSTALL : configuring the Kernel
Configuring the kernel
Gentoo Studio used to use Pappy's Kernel Seeds. With that site in limbo at the moment, I'm providing my own kernel config, which is based on the latest kernel seed before they disappeared. You'll need to tweak the config to match your system. I highly recommend you use the config I'm providing, which has been tweaked to allow USB and Firewire audio devices to work, among other helpful things for audio production.
Download the seed:
ln -s /usr/src/linux-(rt-sources-version) /usr/src/linux
cd /usr/src/linux
wget http://gentoostudio.org/src/rt-kernel-config
mv rt-kernel-config .config
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL is not set
Isn t that supposed to be enabled ? |

sys-process/rtirq emege failed
unable to install rtirq
emerge will failed because rtirq-20140413.tar.gz is no longer on the site http://www.rncbc.org/jack/
2015 version is avalable thru another overlay, hering-overlay
but i only want one package and i don t think that adding another overlay to PROAUDIO is a good thing |

If you just want to install it, then you can drop the old version in /usr/portage/distfiles (unless you've changed DISTDIR cf: man make.conf.)
I agree that it should be bumped, and the older version's url changed, if it's not just dropped.
You can try the bump out, just by copying the ebuild to a newer versioned-name in a local overlay. |

Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2016 8:17 pm Post subject: Gentoostudio.org down, working on it |
|
|
I'm having server issues, so gentoostudio.org is down for a bit. I will have it back up ASAP. I apologize for any inconvenience.
TL;DR: Been having spam issues, mail server software went south, Joomla is a giant spam magnet, yadda. Going to rebuild the server and try doing things differently - maybe a little less do-it-for-you stuff and a little more do-it-myself-so-I-can-fix-every-micron-if-I-need-to. Hopefully when that's done, I'll have a server setup that lets me spend less time trying to fix stuff and more time in my studio making music and actively working on Gentoo Studio. Seems like every few years my server just gunks up and I rebuild it. It's annoying. I remember the days when I did NOT use any kind of CMS - you know, no Joomla or anything like that to attract spamflies. Maybe that's what I need to do. _________________ decibel Linux: https://decibellinux.org

Do you actually need a website for this project?
I mean, sure it's cool and all, but you look a bit tired of maintaining that website and you could just as well paste links to torrents here (magnets: it's legal even in that crazy US, isn't it?).
Your TL;DR is longer than the initial message |
