Re: What's a debian kid look like?
Matt [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Who are we here? I'm curious about what the Debian demographic is. FWIW, I'm a 22yo male, single, Christian. BSc (Comp. Sci), studying Grad Diploma in Info Tech. I live in Brisbane, Australia. I installed my first Linux System in 1997 (Debian) on a 486 with no Net and no CD. I downloaded all the packages I wanted on my Mac and copied them onto floppies for transfer! That was painful! A few months later the HD crashed, so to avoid that slow process again, I bought a cheap RedHat CD and borrowed a friends CD drive. I gave up on RedHat around 7.0 and returned to Debian, and haven't looked back! I also run an OpenBSD firewall/gateway/proxy. I do coding in C/C++, Java and shell. I've also done Python and Ada as well as Prolog, Haskell, MIPS assembler, and a little Lisp at uni. I'm learning Perl and PHP at the moment. I'm also doing some work at the moment using C# and .NET. In my spare time, I play too much HL/CS/Q3A. I also like to read, write, watch movies, ski, drive, sleep, and just go out with my friends.

gmix audio level problems
I'm having some strange behaviour with my mixer settings. I'm using gmix under gnome, and have it set to restore mixer settings on startup. This doesn't work - all sound levels are still set to zero. So I added gmix -i to my startup items, and now when I log in, I get an error message saying that either there is no mixer device or I don't have permission to access the mixer device, but I am a member of the audio group. After I've logged in though, I can open gmix and it sets all my levels properly. Looking at my logs, whenever I open gmix (either manually or upon startup, I get the errors Can't locate module sound-slot-1 and Can't locate module sound-service-1-0. As I understand it, these would refer to a second sound card, which I don't have. I suspect that why gmix has trouble setting my levels by itself is that it is looking for this non-existant card. Why would it be doing this? I've never tried to set up a second card. /etc/modules.conf has no reference to more sound devices. Any suggestions? I'm running kernel 2.4.9. My sound card is an es1371, which is compiled into the kernel (not a module). I'm using gmix version 1.2.3 (debian unstable). My sound all works fine, I just have to manually open gmix every time to get my levels set properly! TIA Craig -- Craig Holyoak [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.uq.net.au/craigh/
Re: Upgrade to Woody
Curt Howland said: So it looks as if most of my present problems are version based, the fact that Debian Potato[e] tends to be somewhat old in software versions. I'd like to upgrade to Woody, Kernel 2.4.x, XFree 4.x, etc. So I put testing in place of stable in the /etc/apt/sources.whatever file, and tried to dselect my way to bliss. However, the package dependencies are so weird that I could not rationalize the results. Why would Libc6 have been un-selected is beyond my ken. Can someone suggest a command line apt-get -install update or similar mystic arcanity? For all the wonder and joy that Dselect usually bestows, this seems to be just like last year at this time when I finally updated to Potato[e], it was a command line leap of faith. apt-get dist-upgrade is much more user-friendly than dselect :-) HTH, Craig -- Craig Holyoak [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.uq.net.au/craigh/

The sound is so hosed that it can't be recognized as music. Larry I had similar problems with xmms for a while. The sound was actually playing painfully slow (3-4x) and distorted - the track times were slow as well. You could just make out the track if you listened carefully. To fix it, I adjusted the settings for the mp3 output plugin to use only 8 bit resolution, mono and 1:4 downsampling. Then my mp3's played okay. This only happened with certain configurations of 2.4.2 - 2.4.5 kernels. I never did work out exactly what caused the problem, but now my 2.4.5 kernel works great, at full resolution.
