[newbie] SBLive modprobe problem
(I'm running 7.1, and my CPU is a 500MHz Intel Celeron; my sound card is a SoundBlaster Live! MP3+) I tried installing the driver, according to the linuxnewbie.org article and whatever README-type file was included with the driver, and using HardDrake and the suggested mandrakeforum article to try to get it working, and none of it is working. Some newbie difficulties with the mandrakeforum article: http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php3?sid=20010104142752 1) modules.conf - should I rename conf.modules to modules.conf? Also, my machine has another sound chip built-in; should I delete the lines from conf.modules that refer to it/its driver/whatever? 2) HardDrake / modprobe emu10k1 - whether I type it in from a prompt, or click on Test in HardDrake, I get the same message: Error in modprobe call! /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/misc/emu10k1.o: init_module: Device or resource busy /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/misc/emu10k1.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/misc/emu10k1.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/misc/emu10k1.o: Can't locate module Xi4@HR ^ ^ (^: the i has an umlaut instead of a single dot, and the R is in a circle (like a "Registered Trademark" symbol)) I have absolutely no idea how to fix this. :( 3) sndconfig - it tells me not to run it from X. Also, it doesn't detect my card at all. And since it didn't work... 4) kernel-sources / kernel-docs: I read the kernel-docs, and they didn't help me. Or perhaps I just couldn't understand them. And if I download the kernel-sources, what am I supposed to do with them? 5) grep - the mandrakeforum article says: Ok, to find out about a device, I would 'cd' to that directory and do grep -i -r live! * What directory is that supposed to be? /dev? 6) modprobe emu10k1 - see 2, above.

Re: [newbie] Cups-printing-problems
On Sat, 6 Jan 2001 09:45:25 -0500 (EST), Mark Weaver said: John, These "enhancements" are what's currently going on with Cups in Mdk7.2. In theory and at times in practice cups is a good thing. However, at the moment for poor buggers is very confused. I see where Mandrake is going with this and I applaud them for it. It's just not quite there yet. I have ever confidence that they'll get there though. If one were to "upgrade" or in any manner begin to use 7.2 I would strongly suggest that if you try Cups and it doesn't work pretty much out-a the box for their printer to fall back to lpr for their printing needs until cups matures a little more. Unless of course one feels adventurous and enjoys the thrill of the hunt. As I know many here on this list do at time...myself included. On 6 Jan 2001 John Rye spake passionately saying: Further to Mark's "dumb question" and the understanding that he's running 7.2, Is the output from 7.1 going to be enhanced by these upgrades? Or are they optimised or build around the 7.2 libraries? I've got it running - and have't had any major hassles with the app itself. I see differences between old lpr, and the output of a number of print apps with CUPS. As said earlier in other posts - I'm not yet quite ready to approach the same pain barrier.

[newbie] MS optical mouse
Has anyone gotten a Microsoft USB Optical IntelliMouse to work? Again, I'm using Mandrake 7.1... I am currently using the mouse as a PS/2 mouse (with an adaptor). The two side buttons don't work of course, and wheel-up / wheel-down do the same things as the left and right buttons, respectively. If I can't get the side buttons programmed, that's not too big a deal, though it would be nice to get them working. (I remember reading an article online about configuring a "7-button" mouse (the wheel being three buttons instead of a button and an axis), but I couldn't really understand it. I also don't know the path of the file I am supposed to edit - I might not have know even the filename.) However, I'd like to get the wheel working properly (I use Enlightenment 0.16.5, and in E the wheel is supposed to switch between desktops). I'm also wondering if there's any advantage to using the mouse as USB instead of PS/2 (aside from not needing an adaptor) (the mouse stopped working when I plugged it into the USB port and selected "USB Mouse (3 or more buttons)" in MouseDrake). Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance, Jesse
[newbie] Interrupt sharing
I remember having read that linux does not support IRQ sharing. My Adaptec SCSI controller is sharing its interrupt with the system's USB controller. Could this be the reason for the install to hang while installing the SCSI drivers? Being a little anxious as I am and since bandwith is not a problem at home, I've already downloaded and tried to install OpenLinux Workstation 6.1, Red Hat 7, even Corel Linux 1.2! They all froze the machine very shortly after firing the install. Windows NT has no problems and since I'm already quite annoyed by this I've even tried (and succeded) installing FreeBSD 4.2. So far, I've come to the conclusion that the hardware is Ok and the problem must be Linux related. Any thoughts?
[newbie] addendum to SBLive problem
I forgot to mention: Sometimes when I log in as a user and start Enlightenment, I get a message saying Enlightenment could not connect to Esound, and therefore sound is disabled. When this happens, sound-related epplets can't be used. I'm guessing this is related to the problem I'm having with getting my SBLive to work, but I'm not sure, since it doesn't happen all the time.

[newbie] Terminal window dupes
Hey, I've never seen this happen in SunOS, RedHat 5.0, or RedHat 6.0. What's the deal? Lately, I'm finding that if I open my pine in a terminal window either opening at start of E or afterward, that ( only that) terminal window duplicates itself on all four of my main desktops. Worse, if I close pine in any one of them, it's closed in all. I've another terminal windows on desktop four opening when E opens acting normally. The only changes I've made recently are having run /sbin/lilo a few times ( still getting grub in spite of this being the instruction to get rid of grub), I'd removed reinstalled xmms thinking that a problem with sound lay there also installed kmp3, , finally, fooled round with both /sbin/sndconfig with sound in drakconf to no avail. Now I have no sound at all, but I'll address that in another post. Any idea what could cause a terminal window to auto-duplicate on each desktop?

[newbie] Another day, another sound problem
Morning, After having struggled for some days trying to get my Crystal Audio (CS4236B) working, I'd finally succeeded by using /sbin/sndconfig with the first of the ESS modules then using drakconf to configure specifically for CCrystal PnP Audio System CODEC (CS4232) module. Things were great for days. Then, last night, I went to listen to an mp3 found it wouldn't play -- it just repeated the first noise over over. After removing reinstalling xmms, I'd opened kmp3 to get the same. Next, I tried RealPlayer. RealPlayer could manage to move continually, but very slowly. I tried a couple of radio stations I like off the Web got nasty clicks inconsistant flow. I then opened drakconf to find that my sound settings were off. I reset them no change. I tried running /sbin/sndconfig's ESS it wouldn't work. I even tried ~every~ listing in sndconfig which offered irq 11 ( quite a few others which didn't on differet irq settings) -- still nothing. What could cause this, how might I fix it? Meph -- "I did this 'cause Linux gives me a woody." -Dave '-ddt-' Taylor, announcing DOOM for Linux

[newbie] VGA changes to in lilo.conf
G'Day and Thanks for reading this.. I recently changed over to Mandrake 7.2 from RH6.2 In RH I was able to change the VGA parameters to allow smaller text on screen for more easier reading. I used the same parameters under Mandrake. It works for the first part of the bootup, however, when it gets into the "Interactive Setup" part of the boot, it returns back to the default font vga size. The changes were done in the lilo.conf using:- vga="0x0f01" I prefer the smaller font size, however, unable to include in the boot of Mandrake 7.2 !! Regards, - Stef Daniels, [VK5HSX].

Well, it doesn't hurt to experiment on that since nothing is committed til the install is done. Now it should see your controller but limit it to 33MHz for the install. And, you need to put the ide2= and perhaps ide3= to the append at the bootloader step of install as well.
