Re: [expert] /dev/dsp always in use
elPunishar said: high all! i've got a problem on mandrake 9.1 with my nforce onboard soundcard. /dev/dsp seems to be alway in use, even when theres no other program running that has anything to do with sound. this means, Xine doesn't play sound because of that. mplayer brings a error at the start of a movie, but then plays with sound, but i can't control the volume on mplayer. most games bring an error on /dev/dsp and some of them can play sound with artsdsp -m quake3 if i'm lucky. and sound in flash movies doesn't work.. i suspect its also because of that. as /dev/dsp seems to be the default sound device (which in my case has got some problem), maybe i need to change this somewhere and set another sound device for default ? i'm very confused.. can somebody clear it for me please ? tnx a lot! lukas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Running X across a network?
Kwan Lowe said: I finally built up a server box that can support X windows, and I have installed Gnome as the interface.

Re: [expert] 9.1 vs 9.2RC2 ???

Strange because I was using XFS, But power was flickering for some secs before going out, probably messing XFS up. Anyway ... Now I have to reinstall Mandrake again and I am wondering if I should go with 9.1 again or is it worth a try with 9.2RC2 ??? is there any downs with 9.2RC2, big bugs or does it work good enough to replace 9.1 already, also is it possible to update to 9.2 final thru Mandrake update function ? I'm really happy if I get some quick answer Thanks If possible, you are probably better off doing an FTP install of Cooker. If not, do an install of RC2, but install only what you really require, then update when final is released. And yes, it should be quite easy to update to final. -- Live fast, die young, You're sucking up my bandwidth. J.P.

This server runs as a jailed ftp server and as a regular user logging into my machine at home I can only go where I've got access to go on that system.

I've attempted to copy the driver to a floppy and load it through expert mode, but it just chucks out a bunch of unresolved symbols.

the DocumentRoot of /www/htdocs/domains/foo.org and the paths to the
cert info set to /www/htdocs/domains/foo.org/server.{crt,key}.
I've tried everything I can think of and I'm at my wit's end. Can
anyone see or know what I'm doing wrong? I'd sure appreciate any info
anyone might have.
You might try putting the app in it's own directory '/www/htdocs/app' and
create an 'Alias /app/ /www/htdocs/app/' in the 'foo.org' VirtualHost
directive, that way, it should only be accessible via https://foo.bar/app/.

Re: [expert] DNS settings

Earthlink is my ISP and they have 3 DNS servers. I want to set my Linux and FreeBSD boxes up as local DNS servers so I figured I would just add their IPs to the list of nameservers bringing that up to a total of 5 nameservers that OS X or XP could resolve to. Then someone told me most resolvers only check the first 3 entries anyway. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Thanks. It will only got to the second DNS server if it cannot find the entry in the first, or if the first fails. And if the second DNS server fails, the third, etc, etc. Most likely it will time out by the time it reaches the 3rd or 4th.Your best bet is to configure one DNS server on one of your boxes for your network, make it the primary DNS for all of your boxes, and set your ISPs primary and secondary as your secondary and terchiary. 3 DNS servers are going to give you good failover, and having two on an internal network with only 4 computers is a bit of overkill, as is having 5 total DNS servers.

[expert] SBLive - TriTech - Quake3
!, Sound was working fine with the emu10k1 driver, with everything but Quake 3. In an effort to get sound working in Quake 3 with my SBLive Value, I reconfigured my sound, adding the following to '/etc/modules.conf': alias snd-slot-0 snd-card-emu10k1 alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss Sound in Quake 3 now works (and system sounds work), but it has an unfortunate side-effect. It now uses the TriTech(23) driver, instead of the Creative Labs (research says that this card does use the TriTech chipset). This is unfortunate for two reasons. The first is that it does not work with emu10k1-tools, so I can no longer have bass and treble. The second is that the TriTech(23) does not seem to have a 'master' volume control, and I have to mute/adjust front/rear/video seperately. And since KMix does not have a 'mute all' switch on it, this can get cumbersome. So, to finally get to the question, does anyone know how I can take advantage of emu10k1-tools, and run Quake 3, without resorting to sending sound for it to '/dev/null' ? -- Live fast, die young, you're sucking up my bandwidth. -- J.P.
