that my out of the box experience is that everything works and is running…sound bluetooth internet wifi etc. TY very much for fixing that so everything needs no setup from me. Only thing i did was adjust the time and i am off.
Things on my todo list include conky, virtualbox, and steam.
Fine! To install this software run:
emerge -a games-util/steam-launcher app-emulation/virtualbox app-admin/conkytried to run my game but it failed to connect to audio device. on arch i would need lib32-libpulse and maybe some alsa plugin for pulse for steam. Is there an easy way to do that or do i need to rebuild with multilib enabled or something?
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1108:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave

this was suggested on the net but didnt work for /etc/apulse

also didnt work
# For "pulse" sdl audio error add in start.sh:
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa
export AUDIODEV pulse
also didnt work
had the same issue
here's a hacky fix until next steam client update:
copy paste into /usr/bin/steam after #!/bin/bash
export STEAM_RUNTIME=0
and now my steam is broken!
fixed that steam wouldnt run and now back to this
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1108:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave

do i want media-sound/apulse or media-plugins/alsa-plugins or neither?
