First of all : thank you for providing this Toorox 01.2010 liveDVD.

Nice. Very nice! Almost, except for gvim, all the programs I am using ... Feel Toorox is the easiest way to learn about Gentoo.

Have downloaded it more than one month ago and then installed it on a usb-stick. But only last week-end I have been playing with it for a few hours.

Have experienced 2 problems :
1. on my desktop : Toorox doesn't recognize my sound card, I am afraid. Will provide details when at home. It's a nvidia audio.
2. on my netbook (Acer Aspire One), I can only reach the command line and the keyboard is 'de' although I changed to 'en_us'.

Anything I can do?

Thank you for kind attention.

Hi joji,
Did you activate it in Systemconfig -> Soundcard?Did you change the boot language to english?

Thank you for reaction!

1. desktop

Joern schrieb:Of course! The sound card is simply not recognized when booting. 'lspci' is not available and I was not able to install it. Any other way to find out what the soundcard is under Toorox?

2. notebookYes. How to configure kde on the command line? By 'startx' I get a very primitive X system.

Thank you for your attention.

Login as root and type in:orHmm, kdm should start KDE automatically! And it seems that your X configuration is okay - otherwise X won't start after typing startx.
Try as root:

Thank you very much.

You are right about 'lspci'. What I tried was 'sudo lspci' which didn't work. (Am wondering why?).

Here the result :
'
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Ibex Peak High Definition Audio (rev 05)
01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation Device 0be4 (rev a1)
'
Any hint?

Will now try to get KDE on my netbook. Will let you know.

Regards.

Again you were right.
'killall kdm && kdm' did the job but only for a few seconds. And then I got a segmentation fault.

Guess KDE 4 is too heavy for a netbook!

Thank you.

Maybe the sound card module needs some special options?
Please post the output of:

Joern schrieb:'
--> user@Toorox /ramdisk/home/user $ cat /proc/asound/cards

--- no soundcards ---
'--> 'user@Toorox /ramdisk/home/user $
'

Too simple : no soundcard found and no modules loaded.

Am afraid the kernel doesn't recognize the soundcard.

Thank you for any comments.

Regards,

Should be the snd-hda-intel module.
Enter:

No changes at all ... no soundcard found and no modules loaded.

Anything more I can do?

Thank you.

After your "modprobe snd-hda-intel" take a look in /var/log/messages and scroll down to the last lines. Any entrys of hda_intel in there?
