sound problem within gnome
Hi, I have a strange sound problem within gnome. I ask this already on the german list, however nobody could help me so far. I can play any sound file using the esdplay command when gnome is running. However no sound events are played automatically. And when I use the play button in the gnome control center to play selected sound events, nothing happens. The sound server is enabled (checked in the Sound Monitor Applet). And the strange thing is, when I use the Sound Monitor Manager from this applet, I _can_ play the samples on the samples slide. Has someone any hint to find out, why the sound events are not played? The system is completely from woody. TIA, Karlheinz

No automatic recognisation of ISDN card after update to hamm
Hi all, some days ago I made the update from bo to hamm. Most things work fine, but I have a problem with my ISA PNP ISDN card (Teles 16.3c). During bootup the kernel doesn´t recognise the card and the initialisation fails. Nevertheless, when I call modprobe hisax all needed modules will be loaded and after calling /etc/init.d/isdnutils start I can start the ISDN connection. I have tried to create a new /etc/isapnp.conf with pnpdump (from package isapnptools (1.13-3.1). But the new config files doesn´t contain any entires from the ISDN card (only the Soundblaster Pro clone card). I don´t understand this behavior: I can use the card, but neither the kernel nor pnpdump doesn´t recognize it. Kernel is 2.0.33 with patch for the 16.3c Teles card. Should I try a 2.1.x kernel? Which? The following I found in /var/log/daemon.log: Jul 8 21:16:19 localhost kerneld: started, pid=84, qid=0 Jul 8 21:16:21 localhost modprobe: can't locate module char-major-45 Jul 8 21:16:21 localhost modprobe: can't locate module char-major-45 Jul 8 21:16:22 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ippp0 Jul 8 21:16:23 localhost modprobe: can't locate module char-major-45 This was during bootup.

Firstly let me say that I have never used Linux and I am learning as I go
along.
I have installed debian ver 1.2 on a second hard drive on my PC. I didn't

Now I would like to install a GUI (fvwm) and I have downloaded a copy of
the same from the Web. I copied the file onto a floppy but I cannot access
my A:/ drive.
If you configure Linux for networking, you will be able to access the
Internet directly via your ISP. You can then use dselect to retrieve and
install Debian packages directly from ftp.debian.org or its mirrors.
During startup I have established the following:
hda1 is my DOS drive containing Win95
hdb is my CDROM
hdc1 is my Linux Swap
hdc2 is my Linux Native
fd0 is my 1.44M Floppy
I used the command df and all it shows is:
/dev/hdc2
Why can I not see/access my other drives? Have I not done something? Any
help would be much appreciated.
You have to mount the partitions before Linux can access them. See the
man pages on mount and fstab. ('man mount' and 'man fstab')
To mount your floppy drive, you should use something like:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt,
where this drive will show up in your file system as /mnt.
[some stuff deleted...]
Hi David,
all what Bob sayed is OK. But I never mount a floppy disk. I prefer to
access it either with the tar commmand or - if I want to transfer
files to a DOS/WIN-PC - with the mtools. tar should always be
installed on your system and the mtools package you may found in the
section misc. If you have knowlege of DOS, the use of the mtools
commands is very easy:
DOS mtools
--
dir a:mdir a:
copy *.* a: mcopy * a:
cd \my.dirmcd /my.dir
and so on. But don't forget to protect the asterisk, if you specify it
on the floppy part of the command:
mcopy a:* .
otherwise the shell wants to replace it with all filenames in the
current directory (see man bash - or whatever shell you use).
Hope that helps.

Hi, I think Debian biggest advantage is the intelligent package handling. PPP is very good pre-configured. I use it here without any problems. Normaly you have to edit two files (/etc/ppp.chatscript and /etc/ppp.options_out) and perhaps /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (if your provider uses the PAP authentification method) - and you should get a connection.

permanently running syslogd
Hello all, I have an Debian GNU/Linux 1.2.2. The problem I have is as follows: After booting the PC, the syslogd daemon is permanently in the run state. Therefore the PC (486DX33) is very slow. When I kill the syslogd, and start it by hand with /sbin/syslogd, the syslogd now sleeps. I think this is a problem of the start-stop-daemon perl script, which is used in the /etc/init.d/sysklogd startup script. This problem I have only since last week. I remember, that I deinstalled the inn package at this time. Could that be the reason for this behaviour?
