Sorry ,no mixer elements and/or devices found

2004-12-19 Thread Rafael Alexandre Schmitt
Hi
When I try to start the "Volume Control" on gnome ( debian unstable ) I 
receive the following message: "Sorry ,no mixer elements and/or devices 
found".

My sound card works nice ( CMI 8738 ) on kde , but I can't control the 
sound volume on gnome applications. Xmms works fine too.

From mozilla-firebird faq:

Mozilla Firebird is compiled with gcc 3.2.3, so a compatible version of
the Java plugin must be used. JRE 1.4.2 contains a compatible plugin.


If you installed the JRE 1.4.2_01 RPM, this plugin is
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so and
to install it for Mozilla Firebird, do the following:

Open a terminal
Change to your Mozilla Firebird plugins directory
Issue the following command: ln -s
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

If you are using an older Linux distribution, you may need to install
the gcc3 support libraries, as the gcc 3.2 version of the Java plugin
requires libgcc_s.so.1 to operate. You may be able to find packages
using Google.

Wich is wrong , you need gcc32 libjava , otherwise java will not work
under mozilla firebird.
That's the reason blackdown java doesn't make any effect.

I had the same problem here. 
apt-get install msttcorefonts plus a lot of other font packages solve the 
problem here.

Here's my XF86Config-4 


FontPath"unix/:7100"# local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath"/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"

FontPath"/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID"

Hi,

I,m runnig mutt on Eterm , but the same happens on console or in any
other terminal.
My procmailrc is very simple , there is no 'special rule' there.

When I save the message to a file the first line still missing.
This is bizarre.

Hi,

Pressing h or e doesn't help. The first line still missing.
There is no problem with a specific mailer or anything like that.
For example , if I write a message to myself in kmail , evolution or in
a webmail like yahoo , when I receive the message on mutt the first line
is not there.
In a mailing list like debian-user 20 or 30 % of the messages I receive
are missing the first line :(
