No sound support for KDE
Hello, I have a problem with the audio output of KDE 3.5.3 (the KDE version currently used by Debian Etch Testing): There is absolutely no sound output. After the first launch of KDE I got a pop-up with the error message: Sound server information message: Error while initializing sound driver: device: default can't be opened for playback (No such device) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. I started kcontrol / Sound / Sound System / Hardware and activated the ALSA sound system. I installed the remaining alsa packages and ran alsaconf. Then I used alsamixer and unmuted all channels (both actions as root). I also used alsamixer as normal user and of cause kmix - no effect. Due to Bug report #362282 I replaced libasound2 with version 1.0.11-7 - no effect. After this I used the module-assistent to build the ALSA module drivers, installed them and run alsaconf and alsamixer again - no effect. I have two remarks concerning this issue: 1. The ALSA sound system works with Debian Sarge. 2. I tested two other distributions (Kubuntu 6.06 and SusSE 10.1) in the last weeks: I had no sound on both distributions. On Ubuntu 6.06 (using GNOME) audio is available (but I have no idea about the used sound system).

Trouble with sound support in compiling 2.4.x kernel
In October 2001 I described to this list how I'd managed to get my WinBook XL's Yamaha OPL3-SAx soundcard going under Linux with kernel 2.4.9. Among other things, I included CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=y, CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812=y and CONFIG_SOUND_OPL3SA2=y in my kernel's .config file; at the time, these seemed to relate to the corresponding modules adlib_card, opl3, opl3sa2, ad1848, mpu401. However, upgrading to later 2.4.9 source had my kernel compiles die with sounddrivers.o having an undefined reference to 'unload_mpu401'. This also happens with the 2.4.17 I'm trying instead. I've been playing with CONFIG_SOUND_OSS, CONFIG_SOUND_AD1816, CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB, CONFIG_SOUND_MPU401, CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812, CONFIG_SOUND_OPL3SA2. Can anyone tell me which combination of '=y's might work, or at least which ones definitely won't so I can skip trying them? (Of course, I pass appropriate adlib, opl, opl3sa2 parameters to the kernel in my lilo.conf, but that's clearly not the problem here.)

How can I add the necessary modules for this card without having to re-compile? Hello, you have to recompile anyway. But it might not be necesary to reboot. If you have enabled sound support in the kernel, but forgot to enable the needed module, simply run 'make menuconfig', enable the drivers, 'make dep' and 'make modules'. Because the changes to the kernel are relatively small, the new modules have the same version as the old modules. You can verify this by 'insmod /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound/emu10k1.o' for example. If the kernel does not complain about wrong module versions you can do 'make modules_install' and your new sound modules will be available after a 'depmod -a', without rebooting or installing a new kernel. However, if you configured your kernel with sound support disabled, you really need to recompile the entire kernel. Greetz, Sebastiaan

If you mount and unmount an ext2 partition a certain number of times, fsck checks it just to make sure it doesn't contain any errors. On an ext2 partition there is a counter which is reset when you check it. When you unmount a partition (I think it is then) it is increased by one. When the counter reaches a certain value (I believe 20 or 25), the partition is checked the next time you run fsck on it, no matter what. second message (only as regular user, not as root): $man [whatever] (the man page does display, but with a message that obviously concerns permissions:) man: can't create /var/catman/cat1/XXX(some number) man: can't unlink /var/catman/cat1/XXX: Permission denied This could mean /var/catman has, somehow, got the wrong permissions.

Sound support in kernel-image-2.0.30
How can I find out which sound cards, if any, are supported in this kernel image? I want to know if I need to recompile my kernel for sound. I suspect that many of the drivers are already there, since the device file is present.

Re: Sound support in kernel-image-2.0.30
Hello Tom! You don't have any sound drivers installed by default, although all the device drivers are there. E.g. you have scsi devices even if you don't posess a scsi drive. Look at: /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound/Readme.cards for a list of supported sound cards. You get this file if you install the kernel sources. If you have a SB AWE, you can install the AWE patches (some debian packages) for midi support. You can also buy the commercial version of OSS sound driver. Obviously, you need to recompile the kernel. Try the kernel package for that, it is a lot easier than the canonical way. If you have any more questions, write to the list. PS: Try the Sound-HOWTO for more information. Marcus On Sat, Oct 04, 1997 at 12:21:08PM -0400, Tom Ed White wrote: How can I find out which sound cards, if any, are supported in this kernel image?

This isn't such a bad thing, as the kernel-install process is simple enough that a trained monkey can do it :). Assuming you've installed the kernel-source.2.0.30.deb, it's I heavily encourage you to use the kernel-package package. It is so easy, I've seen monkeys using it :-) read the doc under /usr/doc/kernel-package. The 11 steps below will be reduced to 3 steps or so. 1) determine your soundcard configuration (DMA, IRQ, addresses, etc.) often the default values are sufficient. Otherwise, a peek at windows configuration can be useful. 2) as root, a) cd /usr/src/linux b) make menuconfig (or make xconfig, if you're running x and tcl/tk) or make config, for the hardliners :-) c) select sound and follow the prompts at this point, take a look at the other stuff in your kernel; if you don't have scsi, disable scsi support, etc makes the kernel smaller and faster --- you'll probably also want to make sound a module, unless you use your sound card 24/7 If you have pnp sound card, you HAVE to install sound as a module (otherwise pnp cannot take effect before sound module initialize). 3) make dep 4) make clean 5) make zImage 6) make modules 7) make modules_install 8) mv /vmlinuz /mvlinuz.old (or some other backup name) 9) cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /vmlinuz 10) modify /etc/lilo.conf to have a stanze for each kernel -- keep the old one around until you've run the new one a while (you might instead make the new kernel into a boot disk, so you don't have to play with lilo.conf yet -- to do this make zdisk with a disk in the drive) this steps are all one with the kernel package: Make your kernel, and you get a *.deb file, that you can install with dpkg -i name. 11) run lilo and then reboot and have fun :-) Marcus -- Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.

Sound support in kernel recompile
Hi, Following the identification of a subtle bug in kernel-package which prefres custom.1.0 instead of custom-1.0 in the command syntax I managed to recompile my kernel succesfully without sound. When I set the sound card option to yes in the .config file my recompile breaks down giving errors about not being able to find some sound drivers. I only want the generic sound card support since when I put the SoundBlaster option to yes I get some requests for hardware details which I don't know how to fill If I leave the default values I get some sort of infinite loop . Is it possible to recompile a kernel with only the generic sound support on ? If it is what am I doing wrong ? If it isn't and I must set the hardware options can I get those values from a proc file or through some command since my documentation is not good enough ? Any help will be greatly appreciated. This is one of the two reasons I recompiled my kernel anyway. Thanks George --- George Kapetanios Churchill College Cambridge, CB3 0DS U.K.E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---

George, Join the club! I have a SB pro on a machine and ran into the same problem. I am compiling a list of kernels now, but will get it fixed later on. On Sun, 6 Apr 1997, G.
