I've run into sound problems like this, and would like to know if I just don't
know where to go for the solution. ALSA is very good at what it does. But,
unlike servers that I have to tweak and monitor on a regular basis, ALSA is
in (or "should be in" ) the category of set it up, and it works and its done.
My recent experience was:
The sound chip on my motherboard was not supported in ALSA. Reasonable, I
found an old well supported sound card and put that in. Now that the well
supported sound card is installed, and the drivers are installed, etc.,
getting the card to the right levels, and "connecting" the software so that
sound coming into the sound card could be listened to or recorded was a
matter or trial and error, and error and error and error. The best advice I
got was go into alsamixer and try various settings until something works for
you. Such things as "Line" "Line in" "Line 1" "Line 2" "ICE958 In Monitor",
etc. etc. etc. aren't helpful. Sure, if I do this every day (or week) I'd
know what to do, but when it is once in a great while???
I'd love to see a graphical front end to the sound system where there is a
CLEARLY labeled representation of the physical card's inputs and outputs that
can be click/dragged to appropriately CEARLY labeled software inputs, to
CLEARLY labeled outputs.
Is there a solution to configuring sound? If not, where is the proper place
to ask for one?
Thanks,
Mark

Postgresql 8.3 Question
Hi guys, I'm used to Postgresql 7.4 but when Debian 5 came out I had to try it. Everything was okay except the ATI driver killed my tvtime but I can live with that (dual monitors are more important). The part I can't live without is Postgresql -8.3. I've supposedly installed postfesql-8.3, postgresql-common, the 8.3 client and server. I'm used to tweaking /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf and /etc/postgresql/ postgresql.conf in 7.4, so that I have local access to the db but these files aren't there and there's no log file? Is Postgresql 8.3 that much different than 7.4 or am I looking at a bad package install? The directory structure seems to be there but many directories are empty. When I "su postgres" than I "psql template1" I get complaints about some Dir not authorized (I'm not at the box right now.) Any pointers would be appreciated.

Re: KDE
Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. wrote: On Monday 16 February 2009 21:02:55 Jimmy Johnson wrote: While using aptitude to remove a package from my KDE install aptitude wants to remove all of KDE, how do I stop this behavior? Short answer: You can't and you don't want to. Medium answer: Use aptitude 'unmarkauto' on the packages or meta-packages that you want to keep, but you can't keep a meta-package if you refuse to satisfy it's Depends. The aptitude CUI (or if running experimental, GtkUI) can help in deciding what packages to unmarkauto. Long answer: "kde" is a meta-package as are the packages named after the upstream tarballs like "kdenetwork", "kdepim", and "kdeartwork". Meta-packages exist only to pull in other packages, so they can be safely removed without affecting the system. However, aptitude automatically uninstalls any "automatically installed" package if nothing depends on it. A package is "automatically installed" if it is pulled in because of a dependency (e.g. by a meta- package). When you ask to uninstall (e.g.) noatun, which is a Depend of one of the kdestuff packages, aptitude notices that kdestuff can no longer satisfy its dependencies and will want to remove it. This further cascades to the top- level kde meta-package because kdestuff is a Depend of that package. Then, aptitude sees all these "automatically installed" packages that are not longer Depend'ed on and wants to remove them. Aptitude will differentiate these packages. Some will show up as "will be removed due to missing dependencies" (or sth like that) and some will show up as "automatically removed because no package depends on" (or sth like that). You'll want to mark some (or all) of the latter group as not-"automatically installed" by use aptitude unmarkauto, so that aptitude will not remove them just because nothing depends on them (in effect, you are telling aptitude *I* depend on them). Thanks Boyd, you have confirmed my findings and I will stick to doing my mini installs and not installing desktop meta-packages. -- Jimmy Johnson Bakersfield, CA. U.S.A.

RE: Older Debian Linux version hangs when detecting hardware
Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply, Ron. I have been looking at DSL this evening and it may be a good option, but not if it, too, hangs up in the middle of loading without any error messages. I've downloaded the relevant versiona nd plan to try it later this week. The Floppy Disks fail error occurs when booting Windows 98, but afterwards, the floppy drives will read and write normally. There is a 5-1/4" amd a 3-1/2" drive, also a CD-RW and a CD-ROM, plus a 1GB SCSI drive, also an external SparQ drive. The SCSI card also runs an HP scanner. The system connects directly to a Netgear Wireless N router, thence to cable Internet service. The motherboard firmware was updated before the original Linux install to allow adding the second HDD. There is a 10Gb HDD (C) and a 20Gb HDD partitioned into three logical drives D, E and F. The older Debian system added a LILO boot partition, the Linux OS partition, and a Linux data partition all below the C Windows partition. I may need to repartition the drive with Partition Commander 10 (with its own Linux version) since I can't use the FDISK that came on the Linux floppy boot diskette. Corel Customer support pointed me to several kowledgebase articles, but of course support for the product is long gone (the disks were dated 1999, but I don't recall the version number.) None of these has anything applicable to the installation issue I'm having. Error message? None, the installation simply hung.

I found a solution, I donwloaded the package in the correct version and then I executed: dpkg -i package_name. Now, my problem seems to be corrected but my doubt now is How stable is my server now ? What services could be affected ? How can I force to install again all of this packages ? Maybe, downloading all of them, uninstalling and installing again ?

Maybe, > downloading all of them, uninstalling and installing again ? No, that should not be necessary. But, if you have trouble getting timely support, you might try that. When downgrading, be sure to purge (vs. remove) unless you really know what you are doing. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/\_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I received it, but this is not whatrI requested. Please run sh /usr/share/bug/mdadm/script under kernel 2.6.18 *as root* and send the output to 515...@bugs.debian.org. The output should include a lot more information. Anyway, it seems that the reason it does not is because it fails: > --- initrd.img-2.6.18-6-686: > > gzip: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-686: not in gzip format > cpio: premature end of archive and consequently exits. This is a separate bug in the script. For now, please edit the script and remove the line "set -eu" at the start, then rerun it. You might also want to investigate what's wrong with your initrd.img file. -- .''`. martin f. krafft Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduckhttp://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems "if ever somethin' don't feel right to you, remember what pancho said to the cisco kid... `let's win, before we are dancing at the end of a rope, without music.'" -- sailor digital_signature_gpg.asc Description: Digital signature (see http://martin-krafft.net/gpg/)
