El dispositivo le cree con MAKEDEV audio y la versión del MAKEDEV que tengo es la 2.3. ¿Existe otra forma de comprobar si tengo bien instalada la tarjeta? Ya comenté que con dmesg no veo ningún mensaje relacionado con ella en el arranque. Actualmente la tengo compilada como un modulo. Vaya, has ido a hacer la mejor prueba :) Las SB 128/64 PCI no tienen sintetizador por hardware, sino que se emula por software. En linux, necesitas algun programa tipo timidity. En windoze, supongo que este software viene en el driver. Es algo así como lo que ocurre con los WinModems famosos, se ahorran en hardware, cargan la CPU y el coste del device es más barato. Prueba, por ejemplo, cat fichero.au /dev/audio El usuario ha de tener permiso ahí, anyadirlo al grupo audio deberia bastar. Eso que dices que el kernel no dice nada al arrancar... mosquea, ciertamente. Podrías pastear el dmesg aquí? Mira en /proc a ver si la IRQ está pillada, o algo dice algo de Ensoniq o Sound Blaster. Mira tambien en /proc/pci a ver que ves por ahí. P.D: Mientras escribo esto acabo de abrir una sesión como root y con lsmod he visto que tengo cargados los modulos sound y soundcore. ¿Es esto buena señal? Si es así como puedo probar que pite. Con kde ya veis que no lo he conseguido. Me gustaría saber si es del kde o de la tarjeta. Mientras estés probando, yo te recomiendo que hagas las pruebas con el soporte compilado en el kernel, para descartar que sea algo de la configuración de los modulos. Suerte!

(Fwd) ALSA drivers
Hola a todos He bajado los fuentes que he encontrado relativos a ALSA, para leer documentacion, pero tengo muchas dudas. La pregunta es: si tengo el kernel 2.2.12 y una tarjeta Crystal CS 4232, ¿deberia instalar todas estas cosas? Realmente es que no se que es ALSA La verdad es que las tarjetas soportadas por el kernel no necesitan de ayudas externas para funcionar. Para ver si la tuya lo está mira en la parte de sonido de la documentación del kernel (directorio Documentation y subdirectorio Sound). Ahí hay un archivo que te lista las tarjetas soportadas. Si está ahí olvídate de ALSA pues seguro que si configuras bien el kernel este la manejará sin problemas. Si no está ahí es cuando hay algo más de trabajo. ALSA significa Advanced Linux Sound Arquitecture (arquitectura de sonido avanzada para Linux). También tendrás que mirar si tiene soporte para tu tarjeta y si es así instalarlo. Sobre ALSA no puedo ayudarte más pues no lo he usado. Siento no poder ayudarte más, pero espero que estas pistas te sirvan para algo. Saludos.

I am not exhuasting any colormaps as all other programs started before or after are in color. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, can it be corrected?

More sound problems...
Well, before I left for the weekend, I had my sound working. When I returned, my machine had apparently lost power and was sitting there at invalid system disk because I hada floppy in the drive. Anyway, my main partition was hosed, so I had to run fsck manually. Next, I fired up xmms to make sure my sound was still configured properly. It wasn't. The program didn't report any errors, but nothing seems to reach IRQ5 (or the speakers). Here are some worrisome kernel messages: First of all, this one pops up a lot: Oct 24 16:13:04 cmayes kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? Another odd thing: klogd looks to have been dead long before the crash. The last messages date back to the 18th. I know for a fact that the machine was running then. The kernel also reports some odd packet deny messages. I haven't a clue what they mean. Here's a sample: Oct 18 13:31:53 cmayes kernel: Packet log: output DENY ppp0 PROTO=6 199.174.161.119:3188 216.34.4.81:80 L=52 S=0x00 I=46878 F=0x T=64 (#6) Now, here's the place that seems to be the main cause of the sound problems. Here is the sound module initialization passage from /var/log/messages: Oct 24 15:55:52 cmayes kernel: AWE32: not detected Oct 24 15:55:52 cmayes kernel: Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 Oct 24 15:55:52 cmayes kernel: SB 4.16 detected OK (220) Oct 24 15:55:52 cmayes kernel: SB16: Bad or missing 16 bit DMA channel Oct 24 15:55:52 cmayes kernel: YM3812 and OPL-3 driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen, Rob Hooft 1993-1996 Dmesg says roughly the same thing.

Two different FTP problems
Hi all. I've been having trouble FTPing to my Debian box over my LAN for a while now. Here's what happens: Problem 1) I can't FTP as root, and I understand why. But one (and only one) of my users is also unable to FTP there, getting the same error message as when I try as root. That user is not listed in the ftphosts file. What gives? Problem 2) I'm able to connect using any other user name. But trying to upload files results in Permission Denied, regardless of where I try to upload. Home directories' permissions look fine (rwxr-xr-x). I'd appreciate any input on these. Thanks, Dan. --- This is what we do. This is who we are. Hail Eris! -- Kallisti -- All Hail Discordia!
Re: Cannot telnet on my SMTP port
Hi all, I'm trying to configure fetchmail to retrieve my mail from my pop3 server. However, something goes wrong when fetchmail tries to send retrieved messages to my SMTP port. Fetchmail send a messages like : SMTP connection failed I checked if I can telnet my SMTP port and I can't. -- trying 127.0.0.1... -- telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: connection refused Fetchmail FAQ suggest to fix that first; I tried to, but I wasn't successful.

That doesn't prove that any other errors are Netscape bugs, but it does prove that Netscape is not bug-free.

you may not be able to get sound because there is not enough free memory below 16MB for the dma buffer. in more recent 2.2.x kernels you gotta enable the persistant DMA buffers in sound config and it will reserve the memory at boot. it may not solve this problem, but its an idea :) nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Linux System Administrator http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Sun, 24 Oct 1999, Chris Mayes wrote: Well, before I left for the weekend, I had my sound working.

Hi, I have successfully installed debian on my Sun Classic using floppies; the base system up 'till now. My question is: how do you configure the keyboard? The keyboard says that it is a model-5. I use the sunkeymap (not sure, but it is the US-English one) keyboard setting, but it doesn't work. The keyboard outputs different characters; if I press /, - is what I get. The / on the keypad works though. How can I configure the keyboard? What program do you use for setting the keyboard? BTW, I think installation using floppies is pretty straightforward. I like debian's ability to reinstall without needing doing it from scratch; I installed the kernel yesterday (fdisk, etc) and did the rest today. Now, how can I install the programs other than the ones included in the base system (?); apt-get...? Pointers please. Basically, I need sendmail pop3d, and something that can drop-off email originated from my mail server on another server on the Net (my local email server can still deliver locally and forward everything to the other server).

NOTE this only affects kernel compiled after the upgrade so it could be a libc or ldso issue, not sure what changed in the past few days. Old kernels that were working before the upgrade still work. Kernels built after the upgrade are broken.

Not realy, there is HOWTO's on the basic things about compileing the kernel. Check you /usr/doc/HOWTO and it should be a Kernel file there. There is also info on where to get the lastest source in the HOWTO file.

apache authentication
Hi, Suddenly my apache server (Slink) stopped asking for authentication with .htaccess files. Any hint what could be going wrong here? I have no idea since this was working ok.

Re: make to dep package?

Because If I install it from the source I can't purge it, not? But If I can make a deb from the source i can remove it with the dpkg. Have any solution? Yep: use 'alien -d file.tgz' BUT it makes a .deb who install on / :( So, you better first untar it (usually in /usr/src), then re-tar it *with* path, then alienize it; so, this way its gonna be installed in the right directory ;) JY -- Jean-Yves F.

On my car, the computer controls the ignition, locks the doors at 15 mph. After I've stopped, it will turn the lights off after an interval,and if I leave the interior lights on, it will turn them off ... all under software control. What is REALLY SCARY is that MS wants Windows be the OS that does all this.
