I guess I should mention that after the revdep rebuild and a kernel |
| 2 |
bump, everything's back, including steam. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Anomalies noted: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I think my memory gremlin is back, init took a dump and I had to reboot |
| 7 |
the machine, it wasn't scheduling the processeses I needed it to and it |
| 8 |
wouldn't clean up a zombie chromium. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I had to unmerge a handful of much beloved packages to get emerge |
| 11 |
--depclean to work, even more pain to get most things back installed but |
| 12 |
I got my mast pointed at the sky again and my keel under me. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I had to mask libcdio, it's never going to work on this machine -- ever. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I'm now on 4.5.18... Since I manually downloaded portage won't uninstall |
| 18 |
it for me... (grumble grumble). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The last package fail takes a bit of explaining.... |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Many long years ago I spent waaaaaaaaay too much money on this box that |
| 23 |
makes noise when sent bytes... U can hook it up by MIDI or ordinary |
| 24 |
serial port... |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
It has a mess of chips in it that can be programmed with a "sound font" |
| 27 |
or (an instrument wavetable) and then will play notes when bytes come |
| 28 |
down the wire. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
So basically ur midi player just reads a MIDI file, then tacks on the |
| 31 |
address of the chip you want to use to play it... (you can play as many |
| 32 |
sets of notes as you like until you run out of chips to address....), |
| 33 |
and then sends it to the kernel level driver... Now the kernel level |
| 34 |
driver is buggy as hell and the buffer code is an absolute atrocity, |
| 35 |
I've worked on it myself, -- it's the wrongest code I ever did see, so |
| 36 |
when you run two different instances of the midi player against two |
| 37 |
different chip addresses, the notes get jumbled together because the |
| 38 |
buffer code is BROKEN. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
I don't really use this rig much anymore but I like to keep it in |
| 41 |
working order. =\ |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
So, naturally, nobody's maintaining playmidi anymore so it barfs.... |
