Re: My sound blaster live disappeared

First, let me repeat (with other words): it is a dirty way. But I guess, if you do not install gnome-core again, you won't get pulseaudio as well. On the other hand, this issue (feature?) is well-known, you'll find some suggestions to disable pulseaudio from getting loaded (please google "pulseaudio, autospawn") but I felt like this being too uncomfortable for me.

Re: My sound blaster live disappeared
What I usually do is remove pulseaudio and it works afterwards. That's what I did, too. Removing pulseaudio instantly brings back the sound :-) Unfortunately pulseaudio is a dependency of gnome(3)-core , which is, as far as I understand, just for keeping gnome consistant. I removed it, too. So I'll have to keep an eye on gnome for myself... (In fact I'm using KDE) Ingo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: 2.34 Kernel Won't Boot
Am 20.08.2010 09:30, schrieb David Baron: I built this kernel for first time with new PATA rather than the old deprecated drivers. These are compiled-in, no initrd. Get cannot find block error, [2,22] or something like that. Possibilities: 1. Need to compile in VIA's driver as well. Not doing this prevented DMA access using deprecated drivers a while back. I am doing this kernel for a new MB, not VIA chipset. Module is built. 2. New drivers assign different dev names. Need to change to newer name scheme in lilo.conf. If so, this will wait for new machine since this will render older kernel builds unusable. Current MB is an older IDE-based machine. The new MB will be SATA but has an IDE as well (and there are those adapters that plug in to the old disks to make them work like SATA). 3. Do not use 2.6.34. Has apparently been abandoned? Can anyone tell me what to do? (I hope the older kernels will boot on the new MB.) Thanks in advance. The above mentioned problems (mixing IDE/SATA optical drives) made me try 2.6.34 , too. There is a prebuilt kernel and even a linux-kbuild of 2.6.34 experimental in the repositories, which works for me with no problems. See ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/ and ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-kbuild-2.6/ The new 2.6.35 kernel still has some startup issue for me . Maybe that helps?

As far as I understand, you would like to backport an unstable package for your stable system.

As I mentioned, you'll have to pin apt-get (source) to the right distribution , that means sometimes unstable and sometimes testing.

Re: playing/ripping audio cds
Sorry for just putting in another thought, maybe I am wrong: During upgrade of the kernel and/or udev the devices are sometimes newly recognized. This makes udev create "new" devices , too. It doesn't matter as far the devices are mounted by uuid in fstab, but cdrom and dvd aren't mounted this way. So you might have a look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules . If there is listed more than one physical device with creating symlinks to more than one /dev/cdrom* you should rename that file and restart. Udev will create a new file with the correct symlinks, which your applications can deal with again. Can't explain it in a better way ;-) .

Re: problem installing nvidia-glx on a debian testing with 2.6.32 kernel
I am not sure if 173.14 builds against 2.6.32, 194.42 is the latest, try it. No. 173.14.09 doesn't build against 2.6.32, but 173.14.20 and 173.14.22 (unstable) do. 194.42 does not work with GeForce FX 5200. So you have to try the legacy-driver from unstable.
