Hi! I have a similar card in my lenovo laptop. At first my mic did not work either, but then I found something: My resolution was: Try alsamixer -V all you will then be provided with more channels and hopefully a capture device. There you have to push space so "CAPTURE" appears in red. The same for the mic. Then unmute and turn up the capture and the mic device.

As for me, I'm 26. I first used an early version of Slackware back in late 1996 but didn't use Linux full time until 1998 when I grabbed a copy of RedHat 5.1 and replaced my NT4W install. From that point I upgraded RedHat every other version (which worked out to be once a year) until RedHat underwent internal changes and Fedora was born. I chose not to go that course and instead, I switched over to Gentoo (stage 1 installs are always fun) which I have been using ever since. -- Statux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

A slightly educated guess would be the "gdbm" package, though you'd
think it would be named "libgdbm.so" as opposed to "gdbm.so".

Furthermore, rsync is just another program, accessing the hard drive in the same old way, and isn't a very effective way of breaking hard drives. Anyway, if you're worried about your hard drive, try setting it up to spin down frequently with hdparm when not in use. That can extend the life expectancy of commodity drives especially -- many consumer-end disk drives are not meant to spin more than 8 hours or so every day. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I like this theory. I think bad blocks on HD's (and I guess noone here is talking about flash disks or writable DVD media) occur almost independent of usage. So if bad blocks occur, there might be a big chance that it happens in a portage sync simply because there's a lot of file writing/deleting and thus there's a bigger chance that it happens in that moments. If that was true, it is likely that the errors hit portage's files with a probability that corresponds to the percentage of sync (and due to the "test": emerge) I/O vs. general IO. On a gentoo system, there's probably a lot of disk I/O simply because of portage. This might explain why there's that feeling that a sync might hurt. And, the good side of things: If this theory holds valid, the errors are likely to hit portage -- not all that bad, a resync and everything's fine again :-) The harddisk will cure the problem by allocating spare sectors (as long as available). -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] How can I know which package needs to upgrade without using emerge --sync?
Well, when I started with Gentoo Linux almost a year ago, I emerged --sync more than twice per week. I never experimented any damage or error. However, I do not advise people to do it so frequently just because they will not find updated versions of their favorite packages as often as I thought initially. Today I emerge --sync once every week. Now I advise people to keep their systems synced at least once a month, not because their machine necessarily needs to, but because after much time with no emerging --sync, you'd see your computers spending one or two days downloading and compiling the updated packages, and that is really annoying. Here is a suggestion to have painless updates: emerge --sync emerge --update --deep world the --deep flag will ensure a throughly revision of dependencies. How can I know whether I really need a sync and upgrade my system if a new kernel or glibc is released? There are several guidelines no one really invented, but may be handy: o Whenever you find a bug in your favorite programs, there will be a big chance they are fixed in the latest versions; o Whenever you navigate a forum or post in a mailing list asking for help with your favorite programs, there is a low-to-moderate chance you get the answer "That only works with version x.x.x or above" or so o From time to time, new programs are added to the Portage tree and someday you will find yourself wanting to give a try to a program you do not have in your machines' tree. o If you need to have your machine secured against vulnerabilities, you definitely need to emerge --sync every two weeks at least. o When a new kernel version is released, there is no need to update everything. Actually, what I remember is that I just emerge the new kernel version, compile and reboot. o When a new glibc version is released, there is a number of packages directly depending on it being updated, but no so many. So this one is not really a guideline. Sascha's method is easier. Credits to her. Sincerely, -- Fabio A. Correa D.

Well, the automatically determined average age (measured by typing speed, length of sentences and number of spelling errors as well as number of started flamewars) is 12,78 years.

Hi
Hi,
I posted a question yesterday about masked packages and got a lot of
answers on how to use it, but didn't really needed it for the task I was
trying to accomplish. Now however i fear there is no way around it.
After reading trough the different posts I figured that the way to go
would be to add a line to the 'package.keywords' file in /etc/portage.
So i did the following:
echo "dev-php5/phpunit-3.0.5 ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -av dev-php5/phpunit
My problem is that emerge still ain't to happy... it prints out:
Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.keywords: dev-php5/phpunit-3.0.5
Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.
Try without the version : dev-php5/phpunit it'll work better ;)
Read 'man portage' if you want to know more about the /etc/portage/ files ;)
HTH.
Boris.
