Re: [Alsa-user] TKLA help

[bent]

Thanks for the tip, but I forgot to mention that I'd already tried that... And I just tried it again... no dice. The installation did not do anything... other than run about a bazillion lines of text by me for 45 minutes. Do I need to put the TKLA folder somewhere special? Would the install script really finish just fine but not actually install anything? It doesn't matter if I'm in Gnome, right? Or that my default shell is bash? Sigh... that's just the beginning of my questions.

(oh, and one other question: I don't know why /sbin and /usr/sbin aren't in my path by default, but I'm getting tired of adding them... how can I add them permanently? In other words, I add them by doing "export PATH=$PATH:/sbin/usr/sbin" but then the next time I reboot that's gone. And it seems like most of the commands I want are in /sbin or /usr/sbin!!)

When I run "locate

back are files in the
installation folder.

run 'updatedb' and then 'locate filename'
if foo is installed, '$ foo <command>' should work,
if foo is installed, '$ fo<tab>' will show all
applications that can complete, or are installed. so
'$ fo<tab>' could report; fo, foo, food, foods, fool,
etc

good luck,

I still don't know that much

about linux, so maybe
I'm missing something obvious. Any help you can give
me would be much
appreciated.
