Bumped everything in an attempt to find a working daap server to serve my music to stupid performance-and-playlist-challenged iTunes.

  • on the server, udev kindly requested that I remove crufty old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED && _V2 – in menuconfig, uncheck General->remove blahblahblah.
  • silly apache [/etc/conf.d/apache2] conf file update, make sure you don’t lose PHP and PERL support
  • ridiculous KDE 3.5 errors keep coming, and KDE 4 having all kinds of blocks – I say just keep [–unmerge]’ing ’til it works!
  • I used [emerge –skipfirst –resume] to get past nepomuk failure cruft.  Googled some, looks like a crappy old java config file is still pointing to a crappy old java JDK.  MAN I hate the lies that are Java…  [rm /etc/env.d/20java && emerge –oneshot -av soprano && emerge -Davu world].  Whatevah…

Next I compiled some new kernels.  To get OpenGL working on the ATI-driven  media center so MythTV is all purdy…

  • bump kernel and reboot
  • emerge -av ati-drivers
  • [eselect opengl set ati]
  • [aticonfig –ovt opengl]

Still need to fix the lousy alsa sound mixing for my hirez mkv files, I’m getting mixer channel errors in the MythTV log…

And xbmc is still segmentation faulting on startup…
