lsof - List Open Files. That's the command I couldn't remember... It woould've been interesting to find what was using /dev/dsp. Unfortunately, I've since rebooted and unloaded the old module and installed the new. Oh well, only had 25 days uptime... The good news is that Audacity works now, from XFCE. I think aRts is in the way in KDE, audacity runs, but won't listen to the sound card. The bad news, krecord still bombs at startup; I haven't tried gramofile with the new driver yet. Of course, I'll never know if it's the new driver, or the killing of whatever process had /dev/dsp open that solved my problem. > > In the meanwhile, it appears as though I'm gonna need to reboot the box > > (after removing the sound module references from /etc/modules/default) to > > unload this driver. > > Actually, removing it from /etc/modules/default (which is a caldera-ism, > rather than the standard /etc/modules.conf) might help. One of these days I'll make the leap to another distro. I've added enough crap to my Caldera install that installing a new distro and getting everything the way I want it isn't a small job :-( I'm running the latest KDE, the latest GNUCash (CVS), and a few experimental things (preemptive kernel for one). Not to mention keeping my mailserver and webserver active. Oh yea, and I've got three other users to think about (2 sons and the wife). Sounds like I need a new PC ;-) Thanks, Tim -- Caldera eWorkstation 3.1+, kernel 2.4.18-preempt, KDE 3.0.2, Xfree86 4.1.0 8:00pm up 25 days, 6:12, 7 users, load average: 0.17, 0.12, 0.07 It's what you learn AFTER you know it all that counts _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
