Well, that sorta worked, but, whenever I play a sound in KDE, artsd starts up again. I then need to kill it before I start VMWare. Seems I can only use sound in either KDE or VMWare. I used to be able to use sound in both, simultaneously.

Hi,

Ever since I upgraded my SuSE 7.0 KDE to 2.x, I have been having problems with sound:

1. Can't play midi. The midi player acts as if it's playing music, but there is no sound. This started with KDE 2.0.1 (the first KDE 2.x version I installed).

2. VMWare gives me an error message saying /dev/dsp is busy so it therefore does not play any sound in the guest operating system.

3. Starting with KDE 2.1, sound is garbled. It seems to be overly affected by system load (windows opening, etc).

4. Perhaps related to # 3, there is a process sucking up CPU time: artsd. This didn't happen with KDE 2.0.1.

Hi Simeo, If you use lilo you will probably have to use a boot disk to boot into linux and run lilo. Your Win 2000 install probably overwrote the MBR.

Hi all, ok, I did the steps, but when selecting linux from the w2k bootloader it starts looking for it "from the floppy drive" rather than under C:\linux.ldr. Any idea? TIA, Stefano James Smith wrote:

There is a very simple way of getting Linux to appear on the Win 2K boot menu.

In Linux, if you install LILO onto a floppy disk (only add a Linux label don't add a Win 2K Label), and check that Linux boots OK from this disk. You may also want to set the delay to 0 so Linux boots immediately. If it boots OK then type the following:

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=linux.ldr bs=512 count=1

now if you do a ls -l you should see the file linux.ldr which should be 512 bytes. If you can, you have succesfully ripped the boot sector from the floppy disk.

Next copy this file onto the C: drive under Win 2K Edit the boot.ini file and add the following line at the bottom:

c:\linux.ldr = "Linux"

save the file and restart the computer. When you reboot, you should see another option for Linux at the bottom. Select this and Linux should load.

As and When you recompile your kernel, you will have to do this procedure again.

Hope this works!

Hi, I have installed a win 2000 server in a free partiton of my SuSE linux server but now I can't boot linux. I've modified boot.ini file of the win system to point to linux /boot partition but neither works. Win says 'can't find win 2000 file system'. Any idea to fix this issue ? Thanks a lot.
