I did! Belated thanks! 😀

 

It took some time untill I realized that copy and paste of some commands doesn't work. Thank to @bodiebill

 

If you find errors in the manual, and certain there is, feel free to post then, and I'll try to update the manual.

Another possibility is that I upload the libraoffice.doc file , and another person goes through the doc.

Here is the doc file.

 

 

gentoo_player_manual.odt

[antonellocaroli]

updated the Systemd x86_64 images

It updated the entire system
removed the pf-kernel and added gentoo-sources v. 4.20.6 (with experimental flag, which automatically applies the same patches as the pf)

Hi Filippo.

 

Just to clarify, this update does not include a compiled 4.20.6 Kernel ???

I just finished my LT3045 LPS, so I have to be  a little afraid of compiling

a kernel from sources on this setup.

 

The kernel you guided me through has been working like a dream.  Tomorrow I'll

check the real difference in power consumption on my i5-7600T...

 

My LT3045 board is max 12v/5amp so I need to be below this limitation..

Hi Michael,

 

yes it is included...

[michaelvv]

Hi Fillippo.

 

Installed the new image and it works fine.

 

I just have this 2-3 min delay on my ASUS H110T, and I have configured the soundcard sqconfig,

and I did the blacklist of the internal soundcard.

 

But don't mind, It takes me longer time in the morning to make my coffee.

 

I'm playing on the Linux GentooPlayer64 4.20.6-gentoo-GP-ST-AU #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Feb 3 16:54:28  kernel and

will try the Realtime later on.

 

Thanks for a great player Michael.

Hi Micheal,

 

you should change the way you start the service by editing the related file

open and edit the file:

 

nano /lib64/systemd/system/squeezelite-R2.service

and change it like this:

 

[Unit]
Description=Squeezelite Service
# if your distro uses systemd-networkd you may want to add
# systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
#Requires=network-online.target sound.target systemd-udev-settle.service
#After=network-online.target sound.target systemd-udev-settle.service
Requires=sound.target
After=sound.target

[Service]
User=squeezeliter

EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/squeezelite-R2

and

systemctl daemon-reload

This works great, but when I <stop> <pause> in LMS it starts the music after the 5 sec.

 

Thanks Michael.

gp-update

emerge --ask jriver-bin

emerge --ask qobuz-desktop-player-bin

 

[Patatorz]

Thanks 

[Gordian]

Hi, 

 

Do we need to have the x86_64 desktop version (xfce) to add the Qobuz player ? 

 

thanks

I just installed the new GP64 systemd BIOS version on a 16GB stick. When I do ramsystem I get:

 

rsync: write failed on "/mnt/ramdisk17/icedtea-bin-3.10.0/jre/lib/rt.jar": No space left on device (28)
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(374) [receiver=3.1.3]

 

The green RamSystem is visible on home page.

I have 16 GB RAM.

 

Any ideas?

[Gordian]

No space left on device ?

[bodiebill]

supposedly that is the RAM device; I can pay music normally, so no big deal

thanks, can you also post me the result of the du -sh /opt/* command and which ramdisk mode did you use?

I tried modes 1 and 2, both with the same error message.

Music can be played in RamDisk mode however.

Yes, because it loads you the necessary in ram, but does not load something of the /opt directory

check tonight

I found the problem ....

gp-update fix it now ...

[antonellocaroli]

on my system with 4gb of ram the ramsystem uses really little ram ...

 

 

another thing that I want to say that with OpenRC the active tasks are smaller than the system with systemd ...

 

[bodiebill]

Thanks for the gp-update fix, Filippo.

 

Did anyone compare the sound between systemd and OpenRC versions?
