You must be for it to work. In your normal User account, you don't have permission to run the file, so the file is reported as not found. In a terminal window at the command prompt, type "su" and then enter the password for the SuperUser or Root account. Then run hsfconfig. At this point I also run WvDial and let it run in the foreground. I then switch to another desktop workspace to use the web browser and the email client. I do it this way because I have a lot of telephone line noise in my area and the web browser and email client will sometimes get out of sync with my ISP. So I go back to the WvDial terminal session, issue CTRL-C to stop WvDial, and then restart WvDial. Then I can return to the desktop with the web browser and email client and continue from where they stopped. (This is why I stopped using kppp as the modem dialer program. There wasn't as clean a way to get kppp to exit when the web browser and email client got out of sync with the ISP. I say out of sync, because the modem was still connected to the ISP the entire time the problem occured.) > > I don't suppose you can help me with my sound problem? So far I've > had one reply to that post which hasn't helped unfortunately ;-) I missed the question. I use a SBLive! Value card with the ALSA drivers. Make sure you have opened all of your mixers and volume controls available under your desktop environment and increase the volume levels. Most of the mixers and volume controls have turned down the playback sound to 0 volume. Many times, just raising those volume controls will give you sound. Best, The Other.
