Subject: Soundcard ESS1688 setup failure, no Audio devices on /dev/sndstat, HELP!!!

Dear Linux world,
I've been fighting with my linux for my sound performance, but still
doesn't
work yet.
I've been doing kernel compiling according to some settings stated on
the
linux laptop site about my model. And I've read Sound-HOWTO for
configuration settings but the "high level setups for /dev/audio and
/dev/psp" CONFIG_AUDIO didn't come out when I config the kernel.
When I do a "more /dev/sndstat", there are drivers installed. But the
field "Audio devices, MIDI devices and Mixers" are EMPTY. What happened?
What should I do? Soundcard not detected?
The sound 've been doing well in RH 4.2. But after formatting and
installing
RH 5.2 all over again. It doesn't work. Could somebody help me?
Any suggestion is welcome!! Thank you.
Best Regards
John

This is a good example of why someone looking at Linux should try a few
variants before they decide. Some people find RedHat to be very
difficult/annoying/whatever, and some (like me) haven't had any problems
getting it to work. I'm hardly a Linux guru (or a Unix guru, for that
matter), but I've been dealing with computers in one form or another for
about 15 years, and I found RedHat to make a lot of sense to me.
However, I have to admit that I tried it out and didn't look at any
other distribution. I figure once I get it installed (since the install
seems to be the primary deciding factor for a lot of people), dealing
with new kernels and such shouldn't be that big of a deal regardless of
which distribution I have.
Just my $0.02. :-)

I'd be inclined to have a look at it under xdb or some other
source-level debugger. Most of the ones I've worked with can take a
segfault core and interpret it (if the debugging info is left in) and
pinpoint what the problem is.

I would add that it might be worth doing a complete reinstall from

and restore to its current state. If a hacker did get in, they might
have altered some programs to give them a way back in later.

Where do I read about post-installation procedures?
What do I do about the last 2 messages? This is funny because I've
uninstalled emacs 19.34, and now have only Xemacs 20.4 installed...
I have also been getting this every six minutes or so:

Whereas running ipacset results in the following:
/usr/sbin/ipacset: cant read "/proc/net/ip_acct" - exit
I suspect that I have tons of daemons running that I don't need... How
do I disable them? I'm somewhat confused about the procedures for
editing init sequence.

There isn't one answer to these questions. It depends on your wm. So let's
talk about the lowest common denominator, the command line. running an app
as a regular user is as easy as typing "netscape" or "xterm" or "mutt" (adding
and "&" so that you don't lose the original xterm). As root, well that depends
on what is in root's PATH. For example, if (as su root) you type tkdesk and get
"not found," type in the full path to tkdesk (/usr/X11R6/bin/tkdeks) and you'll
get tkdesk with all the root priviledges. You could have any number of apps
launched under any number of user ids.

not easily. linux isn't running, so linux itself can't really keep DOS's
grubby hands off of the raw filesystem. the only real alternatives are
either to simply not run DOS, only let people you trust get physical access
to the machine, or (assuming all that isn't possible) use an encrypted
filesystem.

Just a guess:
I think you must install old Python RPM and then reinstall all the
dependent apps for recovery. I don't know how to make the new tgz Python
work, though it must be definitely possible. But since RedHat uses Pyhon
in its internal affairs (don't know the full list), I think it would be
safer to convert new Python to RPM first, and then upgrade to new RPM
Python.
(This chaos of tgz, deb and different RPM packaging incompatibilities
are getting more and more serious, and really worrying me)
Best luck,
Abdullah

My sound card SB16 used to work with SuSE 6.0 / kernel 2.036 without
problems. I installed it with isapnp, Now that I run kernel 2.2.5, it
does not work anymore. When I run isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf, I get the
message "lspci not found, so PCI resource conflict not checked". The
same message appeares during startup. When I run cat /dev/sndstat, the
list contains only empty entries. What may have changed from 2.0.* to
2.2.* ? I understand the handling of modules has been modified. The
sound support is compiled as module. Any hints ?

The Linux distribution you're looking for is Debian. Configure it to use
FTP as its Access Method (pointed to a site that's near to you), tell it
to refresh its package lists, then it will allow you to download the
deb files and update automagically.
The package manager for Debian that I'm most familair with is Dselect
(which works this way). The new one, Apt-get, is meant to be even better.
Hope this helps.

A group of UNIX consultants who sell, support, and provide networking

we focus on providing Linux solutions for Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX

In addition, The Computer Underground has created informal connections

Why compile from source when you don't need to? Also, by using an RPM,
the package is now in your RPM database. In addition to the usual
dependency checking, this also keeps track of things like just what files
are installed. Not only does this allow you to completely remove a
package if you decide you don't want it, but it also lets you catch
things like I caught with the pgp-2.6.3i package. For some bizarre
reason, the pgp-2.6.3i RPM comes with md5sum. This is poor oversight on
the part of the RPM builder, as md5sum is part of the textutils package,
a base package.
Personally, I went, got the source, and made an RPM for myself that was
based on the US source code and didn't have md5sum.

Hello Pat,
I tried to install frontPage extensions on Linux and just gave up in the
end. You're right - MS don't want you to be running Linux because it would
show how crap WIN95/98/NT is.
Their documentation was poor, and offered very little asistance, especially
since the installation kept falling over with onscure errors.
I ended up re-writing our whole web site to not use their extensions and I
haven't looked back since. I know that doesn't solve your problem, but it's
just my experience.
By the way - I tried install FP extensions on our old WINNT server, and
whenever the forms processor was used the extensions would give errors and
crash. MS said it was most likely a bug, but they wanted to charge me $265
to investigate it!

In his obvious haste, Martin Stabenfeldt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> babbled thusly:
: libgtk.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
: But I have installed this packages, how come this doesn't work?
Have you installed those FILES though.
You deleted all the old ones, replacing them with newer libraries.
(some programs require older libraries. GIMP won't compile with GTK 2.x for
example).
It's possible for the older and newer libraries to co-exist peacefully in
most cases.

Hi
Could anyone tell me how to setup a 2 PC network between Linux & Win
98 (Samba config. too). I would also apreciate if you tell me the URL
of some online material which explains this.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Apache - no "/" after directory ???
Date: Sat, 10 Apr 1999 09:51:55 -0700
Does anyone know how to configure Apache so that users don't have to put a
slash after a sub-directory name?
For example:
On other servers I can type:
http://www.domain.com/sub
and automatically display the index.html file in the directory "sub".
but with Apache, I must type
http://www.domain.com/sub/
to display the index.html file in that directory. The first example gives a
404 error.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Boris
