I have also installed the ASLA-player and then I have the same problem !
The fader of the system-sounds and the xmms player don't work the fader on
the ALSA-player works but total sound is 10dB low. This is not the solution
to this problem but thanks for your advice and help.
I think it's a bit strange that you use ALSA with SUSE because SUSE has a
package called EMU10K1 ( which you can install with YAST ) specialy made
for the soundblaster-live and when you instal it the card works perfect. I
have used SUSE too.

Is it a IDE writer? Then you should enable
SCSI-Support [*]
Generic SCSI [*]
SCSI Cdrom [*]
SCSI Emulation Support [*]
enabled in Kernelconfig. Compile Kernel, reboot with new Kernel
at LILO: enter <Your Linux> hd?=ide-scsi,max_scsi_luns=1
where hd? is your writer
Oh, and dont forget to insert alias scsi_hostadapter=ide-scsi
BEFORE booting
Or simply read the CD-Writer-HOWTO (?)

Subject: dual boot & partition
Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2000 02:58:55 -0400
Hello all:
Have you ever played with the extra functionality with fdisk in Linux?
When i try to install Redhat 6.2 on my friend's machine with win98se. I
found the H/S/C is 16/63/26354
the cylinders is far beyond 1024. I didn't notice it until I can't boot from
hard drive.
I got all '0' on the screen. But I can still boot from disk A.
I just wonder what's the precaution to edit the H/S/C with fdisk? Will it
destroy date on the
hda ?
Also I can't boot into win98se while it's accessible from linux.
Hope to get your advice soon.
Yours,
Gu
Here is the partitions:
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 26354 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

What error? Nobody can help you by more than guesswork unless you give
us details.
The guesswork from me is that you might not be root while running 'make
install' (you should be) or that it wants you to create some directories
first, or something.
By the way, if you're new to this, then you might want to see if there
are RPMs available for your distribution, rather than trying to build
and install from source.

Is that usr/bin/perl or /usr/bin/perl? "exec failed" probably suggests
that that's the problem ...
>The program runs fine in text mode, but not with the web server.
Oh. Perhaps not, then. It might be worth using 'su' from a root account
to become the same user as the web server (often www or www-data or
similar) and see if you can execute the program that way. Remember that
you need execute permissions for all the directory elements in a path
name in order to be able to read (and execute) a program.
Is the output above from an error page or from the error log? If the
former, then you may want to have a look in wherever the error log goes
on your system to see if that provides any more information.

Thank you very much for all the help I got. Here is what I
finally did: Patch the binary
with "strings httpd |grep Apache" you see that the message
is really hard coded into the binary.
Just load it into vi, search for the string and replace it.
This is quite ugly but it works, the nicer thing would be
to grab the source, change it there and recompile. But my
method was quicker.

Yeah, I know, but I was hoping to avoid that if possible - printtool probably
wont work afterwards, and it is, if nothing else, convenient for local
printers.

Subject: Computer hangs when switching console or starting X
Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2000 08:32:40 GMT
I have just installed Debian 2.2 (potato) on my box at work.
During the install the computer froze several times but in the end I got
everything installed, including X (XF86 3.3.6).
Today when I rebooted the machine it froze when X started, all I got was
a blank screen and no response. I also found out that the machine froze
in the same way when I switch from a virtual console to another.
XF86Setup randomly works but startx always freezes the box.
The box is a Celeron 500 128Mb RAM 20Gb drive with an ATI Rage 128 GL
AGP graphics card.
NT is installed on the first 7.5Gb of the drive and linux on the rest.
The odd thing is that a co-worker has Mandrake installed on an identical
box and it works just fine.
Thoughts any one? Broken hardware? Maybe I should try another machine?
I tried an older kernel (2.2.16) but the result was the same.

kppp Super UID is already set and the only solutions on the web and in

Just take a single diskette FreeBSD (is there such a beast ?) or a single
diskette Linux (like http://www.toms.net/tomsrtbt), boot the box with it,
mount the 'original' root filesystem with /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow, remove
the root password (nothing between the two ::), take out the floppy,
reboot from harddisk, login as root (without password) and set the
root password again.
Note: As long as somebody has physical access to your machine, it is
basically open !

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi:
So the story goes like this:
I just got this box with redhat linux 6.2 loaded on it. It runs nice and the
GUI is something I can live with. But when I clicked on one of the RedHat www
links on the desktop, Netscape came up with a bunch of error pop ups. The
network
was unreachable! So I did the /etc/hosts yada yada yada and darn, still denied
access. Can't ping anything. So there were some red FAILED messages that flew
by on the bootup. Let me check those out in little more detail.
Finding module dependencies depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.1
6-3/misc/emu10k1.o OOPS! this is another story.
Bringing up interface eth0 insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.16-3/net/rtl18139.o: insmod
e
th0 failed
Delaying eth0 initialization.
[FAILED]
dmesg spits out nothing with eth0 in it. Just VFS: Disk change detected on
device ide0(3,64)
So the module is not loading. Ah! there is that disk and the version on it is
"rtl8139.c:v1.04 9/22/98" as compared to what's installed "rtl8139.c:v1.07
5/6/99"
. The disk has an older version. I'll try it anyway.
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNAL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c rtl8139.c `[ -f
/usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo -DMODVERSIONS`
and out pops rtl8139.o. Great. insmod rtl8139.o and oh no!

lsmod

soundcore 2596 4 [es1371]
Well it aint there. So what Device or resource is busy?
conf.modules has as its first line:
alias eth0 rtl8139
Do I have to add an options line like:
options eth0 -o io=0xNNN irq=N
or something similar or perhaps pass a an ether argument at the LILO: prompt?
Or perhaps, it just can't use a particular IO address space to load because
it's being used already? How would I know? Or do I really have to recompile
the kernel and specify it as an experimental driver to make it work? Can I con
someone into just sending me a kernel with it in it? Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks in advance;
Thom

I'm having similar problems with the INITIO Ultra SCSI card and a
Yamaha 6x4x16 CDRW. I'm pretty sure what happens is that the Yamaha
gets confuzzled when the termination isn't just right and then does
some sort of SCSI bus reset that crashes the machine.
In my config I have the Yamaha and an AIWA 4mm DAT connected at the
same time. The DAT is external. Someone mentioned in another thread
that sometimes the SCSI card doesn't have enough juice to power the
internal and external terminators. So my next attempt is to enable
the terminator power on the DAT and see if things improve. You might
want to try something similar.
This is either a bug in the Yamaha firmware or the INITIO device
driver, I can't tell which yet.
