szczemirek Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Thanks. I did the same. Unfortunately I don't see Gentoo USB drive. Maybe because I already have Linux instead OS on Mac? I have no idea. Link to comment

So, even though the display manager appears to be turned off it's still responding to the settings and I can't alter those whilst the ramsystem is enabled. Thanks for your help. I thought I'd post the solution to controlling the screen power management on the XFCE version in case it's helpful for anyone else in future. Thanks to @antonellocaroli for pointing me in the right direction. When Gentoo Player is first installed the XFCE power management is disabled, but the screen still turns off after 10 minutes. This is because power management is being provided by 'X' - it can be controlled from the command line but there isn't anything in the GUI that I found that tells you that it is active (other than your screen goes blank after 10 minutes!!!) From the command line use the 'xset' command to set the power management parameters. The man page is here: https://man.linuxreviews.org/man1/xset.1.html E.g. "xset q" will show you what the current settings are. "xset s 60" will set the screensaver to kick in at 60 seconds "xset s off" will turn the screensaver off. "xset dpms 60 120 180" will set display power management so turn the display into standby at 60 seconds, suspend at 120 seconds and turn off at 180 seconds. "xset dpms off" will turn DPMS off. The next challenge is getting settings to be remembered at the next boot. Setting it at the command line as above is not remembered after reboot. I tried adding the commands to the .xinitrc file in the home directory but it fails. Googling suggests it is a timing issue as the commands are sent prior to the X session being ready. The only solution I found was to run a script at startup that waits and then runs the commands: Go to settings > session and startup > application autostart Use '+' to add a new command Enter the following: /bin/bash -c "sleep 15 && whatever your xset commands are" E.g., to keep the screen on at all times it would be: /bin/bash -c "sleep 15 && xset s off && xset dpms off" An alternative approach may be to enable the XFCE power management at boot as suggested by @antonellocaroli in an earlier reply (also found in settings > session and startup > application autostart) and then configure that via the GUI as I think that takes over from X. But for it to work, it must be left enabled, otherwise X will take over again and control the screen as described above. antonellocaroli 1 Link to comment

RichardT Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 2 hours ago, Branko said: Anyone? thx Hi @Branko. Like @antonellocarolisays, I'm afraid that trial and error is the way to choose a kernel. I find the CK kernels best on the raspberry pi but the RT kernels best on x86. Your preferences may be different depending on the rest of your system I find that the first part of the kernel name (CK, RT, PF etc) to be the most influential over the character of the sound. So I'd suggest trying one from each of those groups initially. Once you've decided which group is best for you, then try the different ones within that group. My preferences have sometimes changed when I've made changes to other settings (ALSA buffers sizes or choosing one of the Gentooplayer profiles for instance). So it really does seem to be a case of getting the whole system to work well together rather than one kernel being 'best'. Good luck! Link to comment

camott Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Hi guys, Decided to try GentooPlayer on my Allo USBridge Sig instead of Ropieee. I download v6.40 from the download page, used Etcher to copy to SD card, inserted in Allo, and rebooted. Connected via ethernet. The system starts up, resizes the image, reboots, goes through standard stuff, and then the screen is stuck without any login prompt. The web interface seems to work (I don't have a key yet) but why can't I login through standard shell??? I can't figure out if it's stuck, if shell login has been disabled (?@!#), or what. I just wanted to play around with it and see how NAA sounds through it for starters. Link to comment
camott Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Ok so I see that both ssh and shell login have been disabled since v6. So without registration/key you can't even get shell level access. This seems incongruous with the first paragraph of the registration page: "From version 3.00 to use all scripts you need to register your system. Even without the registration the system remains open and working, to make it work you have to edit the configuration files by hand and start the relevant services." In what way is the system open to manually edit config files if there is no login shell or ssh available without registering???? Link to comment

I started trying GentooPlayer with my Allo USBridge Sig a few weeks ago, and I'm very happy with in all regards. MOC sounds great, indeed, but the MPD of GentooPlayer too. And all the players that I streamed with to GentooPlayer (Audirvana, Roon, HQPlayer…) sound better on my system than when I stream with them on other Linux editions for RBI. clipper and antonellocaroli 1 1 Link to comment
PML Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Hi, With Audirvana Studio, there was an issue in streaming to mpd/upmpdcli (just 16/44 was ok) So I proposed to install gmediarender on gentooplayer, and it run fine with Audirvana. But now (I do not if it's an improovement on mpd side or Audirvana Studio - I suppose it's Audirvana side) Audirvana Studio seems to be fully compatible with mpd/upmpdcli in 32/176-192 without issue. And sound is crazy good. Thanks a lot for your distrib, I agree with Dandou, there is no equivalent.

Dandou Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Mpd upmpdcli works fine for me with Audirvana Plus, JRiver, Foobar and Neutron Music Player. I tried it also with Audirvana 3.5, and it worked very well. Audirvana Studio is a buggy player. They fixed many bugs since its release, but unfortunatelly there are still issues with it.
