R: [newbie-it] problemi con l'audio
- Original Message - From: Gigi Cyber [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2001 10:04 AM Subject: Re: [newbie-it] problemi con l'audio Ciao a tutti, ho anche io un problema simile a questo. Ho reinstallato la mdk 7.2 di recente, e anche a me da un po' di tempo l'audio non funziona. Dopo aver provato a configurare la scheda audio (soundblaster 128) con hard drake ricevo la risposta: errore nella chiamata a modprobe! /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/es1371.0: init module:dispositivo o risorsa occupata. /lib/modules/2.2.17-21 mdk/misc/es1371.o:insmod/lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/es1371.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/es1371.o insmod sound-slot-o failed questo problema mi si manifestato da un po' di tempo a a questa parte, prima la rilevazione hardware andava benissimo,e tra l'altro ho anche la scheda di rete che non va, mentre prima andava benissimo (rilevava l'indirizzo dhcp dal pc che in casa ci fa da server). Ho notato che la sk audio e quella di rete hanno lo stesso irq , il 5. Pu quindi dipendere da un settaggio del bios? Lo stesso aurora, durante il boot mi segnala di non riuscire a caricare il modulo audio, e che pu dipendere dall'irq o dall'indirizzo i/o. Per questo motivo qualche giorno fa ho scritto che avevo problemi di compilazione, perch ho trovato che durante la compilazione possibile attribuirne uno diverso... qualcuno in grado di aiutarmi o darmi qualche spunto di lavoro? Grazie a tutti Gijii Se i dispositivi sono entrambi PCI strano che si siano presi lo stesso IRQ, se non fosse cos con modprobe o insmod puoi anche settarlo tu l'IRQ da riga di comando (vd. man insmod). Comunque questo problema l'avevo trovato anch'io con il modem isdn ma nel mio caso c'era un errore nello Script che caricava tutti i moduli ISDN e ho dovuto correggerlo. Spero di averti aiutato anche solo minimamente Ciao Germano

Qualcuno sa dirmi se nei due cd di installazione di mdk 7.2 c' un ambiente di sviluppo o, almeno un compilatore e un debugger? Chiedo scusa per i miei errori, ma non so programmare mi perdonino gli hackers e i programmatori seri... se non c' mi sapete suggerire dove cercare? grazie a tutti Sicuramente c' un programma che si chiama 'p2c' che prende i sorgenti Pascal e con uno stile tutto suo li trasforma in sorgenti C o C++ che poi possono essere conpilati con gcc (che il compilatore C C++). Comunque se apri DrakConf c' il programma di gestione degli RPM, da li vai sotto il gruppo Development ed eventualmente spulciando bene controlli che ci sia almeno il compilatore (che l'unica cosa che serve veramente). Se vuoi un editor per scrivere, il semplice 'nedit' ti permette di settare il Tipo di linguaggio di programmazione (C, C++, Fortran, Pascal e tanti altri) per una miglior formattazione della pagina (ma non necessario). Se poi trovi addirittura l'ambiente di sviluppo sono ben contento per te. CIAO GERMANO

Cercher di essere chiaro. Scarica da www.olitec.com il driver per il modem olitec. Cerca la stringa di inizializzazione del tuo modem, per il mio era PCI\VEN_127ADEV_2005SUBSYS_2005127A. La trovi da Win98 lanciando Microsoft System Information e leggendo le caratteristiche avanzate del modem. Poi devi inserire la stringa nel file lhs_lin.inf dove ci sono gi le altrem che credo si riferiscano specialmente ai modem Olitec. Lancia ./ins_all prima di kppp e tutto dovrebbe funzionare. Ah come mi sono fatto spiegare cambia i comandi del modem con un ATX3 nell'inizializzazione. Ciao e fammi sapere se va tutto bene!

[newbie] Re: Linux Sound I saw Ure addy on the Newbie List
What other sound cards do you have? Have you tried looking at the mixers (kmix and the like) to see if your sounds are muted? It also depends on which X win you use, I like the kde themes and use em alot. There's a check box in KDE Control Center where you can enable system sounds. In Gnome, the gnomecc has two widgets which you have to click to enable sounds. One is way down below the list asking if u want to enable sounds for window manager events. You should enable this and the other option where it asks if you want to enable sound server startup. That's all I can say for now. Pls give me more info so I can give better advice.

If you do an expert install of Mandrake 7.2 you can choose to use either XFree86 3.x or 4.x. Version 3.x (as used in LM7.0) has better hardware support but 4.x has more features and is a bit nimbler.

I found some modules on the MicroSolutions web site for my Backpack CD-RW, BUT - - my kernel is 2.2.14-15mdk (is this some weird Mandrake only kernel?) and all I can find that comes close is a module for 2.2.14 or 2.2.14-5. These do not work since the modules are compiled specifically for these kernels. Argh!! What to do?

Re: [newbie] New install - problems and questions
On Sun, 25 Feb 2001 02:07, Owens, Blaine C wrote: Last night I bit the bullet and installed Mandrake 7.2 dual boot with Windows 98. I've got a couple of problems and a question . 1) Xwindows comes up with horizontal lines across the screen. You cannot even read some apps because of these horizontal lines. I've tried several different resolutions and generic settings to no avail. I think it picked up the correct hardware for my card: - Windows Device Manager = Trident 9685/9680/9682/9385/9382/9385-1 PCI - Linux = Trident Microsystems TCUI9660 (generic) TCUI 9660/968x/968x 2) I have a cable modem Internet connection. On bootup it stalls bringing up eth0 and then fails with a DHCP failure message. I have configured my ISP's name server in /etc/resolv.conf. Again, I think the hardware in Linux is correct: - Windows Device Manager = 3Com EtherLink III ISA (3C509b-TP) in PnP mode - Linux = 3Com EtherLink III ISA (3C509-TP) Any suggestions for resolving either of these problems would be appreciated. Finally, I would like for the default bootup to be Windows 98 (at least for now) but it is not obvious to me how to modify GRUB to accomplish this. I assume I need to modify the config file in /boot/grub, but how? Thanks.

During boot and when I restart httpd with /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart, I receive an error that says: Starting httpd: httpd-perl: cannot determine local host name Use the ServerName directive to set it manually and then it Fails. The problem is that I am trying to set up emumail and it wont work, I assume because I have to reset httpd and it fails, this is why it wont work.

[newbie] New install - Xwindows
After a new install my Xwindows has horizontal lines making most applications INCLUDING DrakConf applications basically unusable. Perhaps if I could get Xwindows working reasonably I could address some of the other problems I am having. I reinstalled this morning - still horizontal lines making most X applications INCLUDING DRAKCONF (smartass) basically unusable. If anybody who is not a smartass can give me a clue as to how to correct my Xwindows problem then I think I can figure the rest out for myself. The card according to Windows Device Manager is Trident 9685/9680/9682/9685/9382/9385-1 PCI It was discovered by the Mandrake install as Trident Microsystems TGUI9660 (generic) TGUI 9660/968x/968x All non-smart-asses - I cannot use DrakConf effectively because I can't even read most Xscreens because of this problem. I'm posting this to the Newbie list and not the expert list because I AM a newbie, but I am not an idiot. I know how to search the net and RTFM but after about 6 hours of frustration I post a question and the only response is to use an X app which I cannot even use because of the horizontal lines.

RE: [newbie] HOW TO START LINUX
Ok, this might be too basic for you, but just in case, I thought I should send you some links: [myloginname@host ]$ This is the command line prompt. It is from here that you run Linux commands (similar to, but MUCH more powerful than DOS). However you probably want to run linux in graphical mode (thereby being more similar to windows or other graphical based operating systems, again, only more powerful). Try doing a full install of Linux on its own partition, things should work better and it's a great way to experience Linux for the first time. You might find it is easier than you think.

[newbie] Add themes to theme manager on KDE2.1 beta 2
I suspected that was how you were installing and using the themes. That too explains why you're having trouble using the themes and getting them to work. Really, there's nothing mystical about using the themes or Theme Manager. It's one of the easiest apps to use. That is provided you "add" the themes in the proper manner. ;-) The correct way to add and use themes with KDE's theme manager is to just simply download the theme.tar.gz files to a dir somewhere on your filesystem. Open Theme Manager and click on the "add" button. Navigate to the dir where the desired theme to be installed is and choose that file. Theme Manager does the rest. That's "all" there is to it. TM opens, untars, and installs "all" the theme files to a predetermined place for "it's" use and the user doesn't and shouldn't have anything to do with that. All the user is required to do is to choose the theme they wish to use and tell TM to "add" it to it's list of themes that are being loaded and used on the system. That's all there is to it. -- Mark "If you don't share your concepts and ideals, they end up being worthless," "Sharing is what makes them powerful." Mark, After changing the filter from *.ktheme to *.* I still cannot see the themes.tar.gz. The filter always resets. Is there another file, perhaps with the default settings to open the themes, untar, and install? By the way, can you see all of your theme.tar.gz files through the theme manager in KDE2.1 beta 2?

Re: [newbie] Fwd: Would someone help me get some sound? I promise I'll make a doc on it.
Which desktop are you running?? I've found that sounds not detected in KDE work like a charm in Gnome. If that's the case, then you should be able to go into Control Center (KDE) and set them up. Always recheck the basics when having sound problems. Usually it'll be something so obvious or simple that even a rocket scientist will overlook it. Are your speakers plugged into the right connectors between each other and the PC? Is the power for the speakers turned on? Volume turned up? Can you play a CD or MP3? Don't just turn off Plug N Play O/S in your BIOS. Directly below it you should see something that says "Reset Configuration" or something similar. Enable it so that your motherboard can re-detect your IRQ's and sort them out a little better. Turn off any IRQ consuming options that you aren't actually using. USB, Comm ports, VGA or Video card IRQ's etc. If your sound card wants to use an IRQ that something else is using, then that's probably the problem. Open up your PC and take a close look at your Video Card. If it has a set of jumpers that enable the use of an IRQ for the videocard, then adjusting your BIOS won't help. Disable it in the Video Card first, then in the BIOS, then "Reset Configuration Data" again. If ANY of these conditions are causing your problem, they can also quickly solve it as well. But occasionally, even fixing them may still mean doing a fresh install. While your at it, check your existing install to see if "Alsa Player", and "alsa-utils" are installed. They will probably be a big help. One more thing. Try unloading all your sound modules from a console. Use "lsmod" to list them, and unload any modules related to your sound card using "rmmod" and the name of the module. Then run "sndconfig" while looged in as root. It's best to log out of your desktop into a console, rather than opening a console while still in your desktop environment. Hope this helps!

Re: [newbie] CUPS
Have you tried any HP600 series printer driver? HP has a nasty habit of using the exact same electronics in many of it's printers ( in one series that is) for a multitude of printers. I've used the 600 for a 612, 695 and 697. All worked perfectly. If there's still "No Joy", Use t"kpackageas root to see if you've got a nasty package running called "printpro" (the bane of all HP deskjets) . Printpro has never worked for any of mr HP Printers including an HP1100 Laserjet. The updates of "cups, cups-common and cups-drivers" have been flawless at detecting them and running all of them. After installing the new updates, check "Startup Services" in "DrakConf" for something called "cups-lpd", and enable it. Perform a very rare reboot, and then do a fresh setup of your printer. It'll probably be found right away. Good Luck.

[newbie] getting rid of extra boots listed
Here is one to think on. I used the Partition Magic 6.0 to configure my hard drive, so that I could run multiple Os's. I chose to use "Boot Magic" to boot the different Os'es from. Here is the problem. In order for Boot magic to pick up the correct place to start Mandrake, I found the only way to do this was to put the Lilo/grub boot on the partition, and not MBR. And this works great. My problem began when I went from the "downloaded" version of mandrake7.2 to the "powerpack deluxe 7.2". being a purist, I decided to format the Linux partitons and start over with a clean install of this "deluxe" version. What I found out was that the "deluxe" version has serious configuration problems, a perpetual loop bug, that continually will ask for "cd#1" but when you put the cd in there it does not recognize the file that it is supposed to be looking for! On top of that, the Mandrake update is flawed, and it is near impossible to update ANY of the files to a workable version. The workaround that I did with Denis' assistance: 1. I formatted the Linux partitions again, into / , /home and swap. 2. I installed the "download version" of 7.2, putting 'boot' on / (root) drive 3. I configured video, and (with much hassle) my ISA AWE64 soundcard. (gotta be a better way) 4.I reinstalled the "deluxe" version as an "update" to the "downloaded" install, and was forced by the software to put ANOTHER boot on the /(root) drive. 5. I configured Boot magic to find the boot for linux in the / (root). And the updated deluxe started fine! andit saved the audio configuration (yay!), butI did have to reset the configuration of the Video card, video resolution (800x600) and color depth (24bit). Two new issues came up, however! 1.For some reason, it took 3 runs at installing to pick up all of the packages, on the full install of "deluxe" version!Perhaps my partitions were too small? / was 3000mb /home 70mb andswap 70mb (I have 256meg ram in system). 2. When I did the extra installs, I was forced my 7.2 to put a boot on MBR or / . Each time I chose /. So what I have is a LILO/GRUB with a "linux" selection, and several "OLD linux" boot selections. How do I get rid of the extra boots"named old linux"from LILO/GRUB without disturbing the working "linux" boot? >From the console? and what are the commands? I know it is not as simple as format /mbr! (like on the master boot record) Thanks much, and I hope you can solve my problems, and that I have shown you a workaround for Partition Magic that I came up with, and this problem with "deluxe".

Highlight the name of your sound card. it should be listed there. 10. click off Drakeconf ( so you are back at the regular blue screen) 11. clik on the K in the lower left hand corner. 12. choose multimedia 13. choose sound 14. choose soundmixer, when the mixer comes up, it may be a blank box, but it will put a little speaker on your taskbar. 15.back up to K choose terminals and Gnome terminal. 16 at the prompt type in sndconfig, and this redhat program will pop up. you can move the prompts with the "tab" key. first you should hear linus speak then clik ok then you should hear a electric piano scale then clik ok There may be a slight delay between each of these prompts, as this is coming from the very bowels of your system. 17. after this program is done. clik x off the box 18 . go back to your soundmixer, and tada! you should see a bunch of volume controls in it now! make sure that all of them are turned up at least 50%. 19. clik the box off, making sure that the little speaker stays put on the taskbar. 20. turn off the system to reboot. toward the end of the shutdown, you may hear a brief bit of music! you should notice that on the shutdown list SB, and AWe-something are listed! good! 21. when the system reboots, you should see a little green speaker with sb and awe-something pop up, and there should be a green check mark beside it on the right, along with the soundcard.

Re: [newbie] New install - Xwindows

Perhaps if I could get Xwindows working reasonably I could address some of the other problems I am having. I reinstalled this morning - still horizontal lines making most X applications INCLUDING DRAKCONF (smartass) basically unusable. If anybody who is not a smartass can give me a clue as to how to correct my Xwindows problem then I think I can figure the rest out for myself. The card according to Windows Device Manager is Trident 9685/9680/9682/9685/9382/9385-1 PCI It was discovered by the Mandrake install as Trident Microsystems TGUI9660 (generic) TGUI 9660/968x/968x All non-smart-asses - I cannot use DrakConf effectively because I can't even read most Xscreens because of this problem. I'm posting this to the Newbie list and not the expert list because I AM a newbie, but I am not an idiot. I know how to search the net and RTFM but after about 6 hours of frustration I post a question and the only response is to use an X app which I cannot even use because of the horizontal lines. Good grief! Sorry, I didn't realise that before when I suggested that you use DrakConf (stupid me!). Try XF86Setup or Xconfigurator from a console instead. If they don't exist then you will need to install their packages.

Re: [newbie] Fwd: Would someone help me get some sound? I promise I'll make a doc on it.
Here is something that Linux mandrake may follow up with with. In Corel linux2 deluxe, (a debian derivitave) they solved the sound card issue, by adding "commercial" soundcard drivers from OSS/4front technologies. This is NOT in corel's download version. But it is a nice thing to do, for those newbies, like me, who are baffeled by the mess with the soundcard config issue on Mandrake, and that have spent $60 plus for a "deluxe" version. What I am saying is Mandrake should follow Corel's lead here, and add OSS/commercial sound drivers to their "retail" distributionI mean these ARE paying customers! - Original Message - From: "Linatic" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2001 10:24 PM Subject: [newbie] Fwd: Would someone help me get some sound?
