Re: [Cooker] Tonight's Clean Install Problems
Hi all, Seems the sound problem was my fault. I was always disabling harddrake and kudzu during the install when asked which services I wanted. I don't have USB or any other hardware but IDE disk and sound card so I thought that they would not be needed. When I left them enabled, sound came out.. Thanks for help to all who replied.

Be patient with the icons. I have same sound setup and worked like a charm. don't know what the midi problem is or anything.

Re: [Cooker] Tonight's Clean Install Problems
Chmouel, On Friday last week I did a clean install from the files off the mirror site. Without me having to do anything except the graphic install (expert), when I logged in as root, the KDE start up music played. Last night and again tonight I did not get any sound. However, following your suggestion I had a look at the files immediately after the install and logging in as root. This is what I found: the /etc/isapnp.conf file was not present, but the /etc/isapnp.gone was. the /etc/modules.conf contained no reference to the sound card. I ran pnpdump -c > /etc/isapnp.conf and it created the desired file with the expected contents for a SB16 card. I then rebooted. Watching the startup messages show no attempt to intialize the isa pnp devices. I looked into the file /etc/rc.sysinit and found that there seems to be an error in the script: is # set up pnp if [ -x /sbin/isapnp -a -f /etc/isapnp.conf -a ! -f /proc/isapnp ]; then if [ -n "$PNP" ]; then and maybe is should be if [ -x /sbin/isapnp -a -f /etc/isapnp.conf -a -f /proc/isapnp ]; then I changed the script, rebooted and now the startup scripts show that the ISA PNP is being set up. But still no sound. I ran sndconfig and it modified the /etc/modules.conf file to add the pieces needed, and regenerated the isapnp.conf. After re-booting I now have sound. However, the sndconfig generates an error screen, while trying to configure the midi, containing: x The following error occurred running the modprobe program: x x x x /lib/modules/2.4.3-17mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o.gz: x x init_module: No such device x x /lib/modules/2.4.3-17mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o.gz: insmod x x /lib/modules/2.4.3-17mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o.gz failed x x /lib/modules/2.4.3-17mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o.gz: insmod x x midi failed x On Friday night, I remembered that the modules.conf file had sound module entries (not the same as sndconfig puts in the file) and there was no isapnp.conf. So tonight i removed the isapnp.conf file, rebooted and I still have sound. It seems that with KDE, only the modules.conf file needs to be set up. So I guess I am back to asking what changed between Friday and Weds that caused the automatic detection and setup of the sound card to no longer occur? Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the mirror file set from last Friday so I can't go back to try tracking this down.
