Running locate on both machines?
Hi All: I have a main machine-and-a server machine storing most of my files. So-far I cannot adequately run a "locate" command which will also search the remote machine several feet away. There are strategic directories with mount points, so I can play mp3s from the remote machine, but when running an "updatedb" I get permission errors about those points. The remote machine has an ssh connection through this gateway. By chance, can any1 please suggest a way of transparency among these 2 machines? Thanks so much in advance--and in running searches, I saw a reference to "power shell" but looking in Debian, I did not find that.

Re: slint and vlc
This situation is strange. Earlier I had orca running and espeakup and had turned espeak off to run startx and both worked. Now only espeakup works with orca not starting. This new system does have an hdmi port and I got a strange acpi warning and the only warning in dmesg output which may have bearing on this situation or may not. sudo -i dmesg|grep -i "warn" [0.00] ACPI BIOS Warning (bug): Optional FADT field Pm2ControlBlock has zero address or length: 0x/0x1 (20150930/tbfadt-654) I have alsacap on this machine now and will send that output next since it may be helpful.

Re: slint and vlc
Hello Jude, The output of alsacap indicates that your card 0 is currently in use by orca or espeakup, as that's why it says: > Error opening sound device for card 0, device 0: Device or resource > busy. Skipping. This is a good thing, as currently if the HDMI card was the first one you would get no sound at all, unless you attach an audio equipment to the HDMI port. As an aside, in next Slint ISO this will be fixed as the working sound card will be probed during installation, but that's not the issue here. To investigate further I need to know the exact version of some packages. Please indicate their whole full name in /var/log/packages: espeak espeak-ng orca portaudio speech-dispatcher Also, please provide the content of /etc/asound.conf and the output of: grep dmix /etc/pulse/default.pa grep dsnoop /etc/pulse/default.pa To elaborate, if your system is up to date you should have an absent or empty /etc/asound.conf (commented lines put aside) and /etc/pulse/default.pa should include these two lines: load-module module-alsa-sink device=dmix load-module module-alsa-source device=dsnoop Best, Didier Le 21/06/2018 à 16:35, Linux for blind general discussion a écrit : > Okay, here is alsacap output: > jude@taf:~$ alsacap > *** Scanning for playback devices *** > Card 0, ID `SB', name `HDA ATI SB' > Device 0, ID `ALC892 Analog', name `ALC892 Analog', 1 subdevices (0 > available) > Error opening sound device for card 0, device 0: Device or resource > busy.
