1 Hello list,
2
3 After the switch to elogind yesterday, chronyd now won't run. It complains
4 "Could not get user/group of ntp." I remerged chrony with USE=-ntp, but it
5 didn't help. I know that several people here use chrony, so what is your
6 experience?

8 Secondly, this morning when I started firefox to listen to BBC Radio 3, as
9 usual, I had no sound. Then I remembered that alsa-utils was unmerged during
10 the switch to elogind yesterday, so I remerged it and ran alsamixer to unmute
11 the master. Still no sound.

13 This box has two sound devices:
14
15 # lspci | grep Audio
16 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset HD Audio
17 Controller (rev 05)
18 01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Ellesmere HDMI
19 Audio [Radeon RX 470/480 / 570/580/590]
20
21 The first of those is the one I use; the AMD device is part of the VGA card and
22 not used. I'd have to get myself some kind of HDMI cable to split the sound
23 out if I wanted to use it.
24
25 Should I assume that firefox is trying to use the AMD device? In that case, how
26 do I redirect it? There's no sound configuration panel under multimedia in KDE
27 system settings; only cddb.
