You can always mask greater versions, and then portage won't merge
then. Just hope that nothing from now on depends on the new version.

The default and recommended "no xorg.conf" setup doesn't play nice
with keyboard layouts. You need to set one on your xorg.conf or
another X.org init script.
I love the idea that Xorg now just works (TM) without any
configuration file, but it could generate something based on what it
detected on the first time, or something.

Check Vimperator for Firefox, and also uzbl (uzbl-browser or uzbl-tabbed).
Ok, I know what to do. I played a little with ffmpeg and avconv
(ffmpeg's fork, libav, conversion utility) converting 3D YouTube
videos to play at the Nintendo 3DS.
Anyways, I'll pretend you're using ffmpeg, I prefer libav but ffmpeg

Actually, -u doesn't mean update, means filter packages that are not
updatable (are already the most recent version).
It's a filter option, not an action. Portage doesn't work with actions.
Maybe some use flag inconsistency? Try adding --newuse or -N to your emerge.
Try this: emerge -uavDN world. If this still just pulls
phonon-gstreamer, then there should be some problem in the package
itself.

ZRAM is a compressed ramdisk for swap, right? I'm really not

My next system will have 16gb of ram, and I'll create an 8gb ramdisk

Wait a minute, an actual doctor installed and maintain Gentoo boxes?
Yes, exactly. The first time you were missing
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR, it should point to /lib/firmware if you've
emerged radeon-ucode.
-v has nothing to do with quiet-build. You want to use --quiet-build=N.
Also, emerge parallelization depends on the -j (--jobs) option, you
should use emerge --jobs N .
In your case, a -j7 should do the trick.
Yeah, I agree.
Going back to Ubuntu bashing, I think that the multiple versions,
multiple repositories, multiple software choices (gnome 2, then unity,
for example, hal then no hal) get in the way of the newbie user.
Gentoo solves that by making the user understand what he's doing, how
he's system
The idea behind pulseaudio is live switching of streams. ALSA is great
if you have only one audio card, but as soon as you introduce a
bluetooth headset, a headphone, a HDMI display with sound output, ALSA
can't handle real time stream redirection. Sure, you can use scripts
to toggle .asoundrc prof
Xorg is complaining that it couldn't open IPv6 sockets. Xorg uses
sockets to handle the clients, that's what makes it work with remote
clients. I'd guess that you tried to built a no-network box, but Xorg
need sockets. It doesn't make much sense in a Gentoo world, but it was
worth trying.

Did you try to build a kernel without network facilities?
Yeah, just for simplicity. This way you just have one extended file
system driver that works for the second, third and forth version of
the file system.
Are you sure you've re-emerged the package after adding the bzip2 use
flag? Run eix app-crypt/gnupg to confirm.

I can't reproduce this. I'm using ~amd64, firefox 8, pulseaudio 1.1.
Do you have multiple sound cards or sound output devices? Maybe the
sound is going to another sink that the one you expected? I'm under
$ cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
Do you have this?
Try emerge -pv gnupg.
Maybe the devs had masked the bzip2 use flag for some reason.
Sorry, I'm not in Gentoo right now to assist you more.
I'd first do a "ls /usr/portage/ | grep sound\|audio" to find out audio
categories within the portage tree.
