Yes I will have the same problems when new versions will be released. But I am 
just hoping that the new packages overwrite the right files. ;-) Maybe there 
is something like a "make uninstall" option in the sources.

I think this was not an optimal solution. Anyway, you're welcome!

I have sound now.  As you suggested, I put in the alsa-base 1.0.14-rc1 from
Debian experimental and alsa-lib and alsa-driver 1.0.14rc2 from source.  I
made deb files of these but couldn't install them that way because of
conflicts.  It didn't work with just alsa-lib.  I had to install alsa-driver
and run alsaconf.

I'm a little worried what sort of mess I'll have when it comes time to
upgrade any of the debian packages involved.  dpkg still shows libasound2
1.0.13-1 installed, but many of those files were overwritten by the install
of alsa-lib from source.  alsa-driver replaced files from the package
linux-image-2.6.18-3-686 and a couple of others.  I did save archives of the
original files but don't know if that will be enough.

Anyway, I do have sound now.  Thanks, Benjamin.

I needed the 1.0.14 version too but I only installed the alsa-base package 
from experimental [1] and compiled the alsa-lib package from 
alsa-project.org. I did not create a Debian package from alsa-lib but

I needed the 1.0.14 version too but I only installed the alsa-base package 
from experimental [1] and compiled the alsa-lib package from 
alsa-project.org. I did not create a Debian package from alsa-lib but 
installed it with make. This worked for me.

[Alsa-user] problem installing alsa-1.0.14 on Debian etch

2007-02-25 Thread Steve Kleene
I have no sound on my recent installation of Debian etch with alsa-1.0.13.  I
do have sound when I boot off the XP partition.  The sound is on the Intel
motherboard (chipset ICH7).  In the debian-user mailing list, it was recently
stated that the hda-intel driver for alsa-1.0.11 had some problems.  (It
didn't comment on 1.0.13.)  So I thought I'd try to bring up 1.0.14.  To
preserve the Debian package management, I used checkinstall.

1.0.14 isn't available from Debian yet.  So I tried to install alsa-driver,
alsa-lib, and alsa-utils, all the newest versions (1.0.14rc2) from
alsa-project.org.  The first two compiled successfully but gave conflicts
when I tested their installation.

When I ran for alsa-driver

  checkinstall -D make install-modules

I got the following conflict:
  trying to ovewrite `/lib/modules/2.6.18-3-686/modules.isapnpmap, which \
is also in package linux-image-2.6.18-3-686

When I ran for alsa-lib

  checkinstall -D make install

I got the following conflict:
  trying to ovewrite `/usr/bin/nm`, which is also in package binutils

alsa-utils wouldn't compile because it needs the newer alsa-lib.

I'd appreciate any advice on where to go from here.  I don't know what might
get screwed up if I overwrite modules.isapnpmap or /usr/bin/nm.  I'm also not
even certain that updating alsa would fix the sound problem.  If necessary, I
could just live without sound until 1.0.14 makes it to etch.

Thanks.
