[S.u.S.E. Linux] Newbie: Soundcard setup?
by suse_list＠hotmail.com 28 Jul '98

28 Jul '98

Hi all, I am having trouble setting up my soundcard for Suse5.2. I have recompiled the kernel with soundcard support but it stopped with an error part-way through. This is what it said: make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.SuSE/drivers/pci' make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.SuSE/drivers/pci' make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.SuSE/drivers/sound' gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.SuSE/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -pipe -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 -c -o patmgr.o patmgr.c gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.SuSE/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -pipe -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 -c -o sb_card.o sb_card.c gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.SuSE/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -pipe -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 -c -o sb_common.o sb_common.c sb_common.c:21: #error You will need to configure the sound driver with CONFIG_AUDIO option. sb_common.c:266: warning: `sb16_set_mpu_port' defined but not used make[2]: *** [sb_common.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.SuSE/drivers/sound' make[1]: *** [sub_dirs] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.SuSE/drivers' make: *** [linuxsubdirs] Error 2 hell:/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.SuSE # I have an ESS688 AudioDrive card. In menuconfig I selected the following settings: <*> Sound card support [*] Sound Blaster (SB, SBPro, SB16, clones) support (220) I/O base for SB Check from manual of the card x x x x (10) Sound Blaster IRQ Check from manual of the card x x x x (1) Sound Blaster DMA 0, 1 or 3 x x x x (5) Sound Blaster 16 bit DMA (_REQUIRED_for SB16, Jazz16, SMW) 5, 6 or 7 (use 1 for 8 bit cards) x x x x (0) MPU401 I/O base of SB16, Jazz16 and ES1688 Check from manual of the card x x x x (7) SB MPU401 IRQ (Jazz16, SM Wave and ES1688) Use -1 with SB16 I think those are the right settings. In windows the settings are I/O address 220, IRQ 10, DMA Channel 1. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or have any other suggestions?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Printing in LInux
by punt＠gte.net 28 Jul '98

28 Jul '98

Fred really has a point here! One of the weakest issues in LInux is the printers! The same issue was with OS/2 1.3. The bottom line is many companies have invested in HP laserjet or some type of Deskjet (epson, cannon, hp, lexmark, etc.). And many of us didn't go with the postscript option because for our budget we didn't need it ( kinda like the AMD thing! Couldn't resist! :)) Anyway, I took the time to set them all up, but it was a pain and WAY to much time. And, if you want to interface to a NT server , then you get to aid samba to the equation (which isn't that big of deal, except the smbprint command looks different if you are sending it text versus graphics. yea I know, magicfilter to the rescue). But the bottom line is it is WAY to time consuming and too much interaction. >Ken....I'll try 1 more time.<g> Do you have any idea how much money >we have tied up in printers....printers that work WELL with any flavor >of Windoze?!!

[S.u.S.E. Linux] White board and other conferencing?
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 28 Jul '98

28 Jul '98

Are there any good cross platform whiteboard and conferencing tools out there that run on Linux and Windoze 32? It would be fine it there was a Linux product that could communicate with Netscape's conferencing. Netscape does not provide conferencing for Linux, and they may not be providing it with 4.5.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] New in 5.3
by hatridge＠straubing.baynet.de 28 Jul '98

Hi All! I was just looking over the new stuff list from SuSE for 5.3. I was wondering, with these two programs could I set up a beowulf system? - lam (Local Area Multicomputer) LAM is an MPI programming environment and development system for heterogeneous computers on a network. With LAM a dedicated cluster or an existing network computing infrastructure can act as one parallel computer solving one problem. LAM features extensive debugging support in the application development cycle and peak performance for production applications. LAM features a full implementation of the MPI (Message Passing Interface) communication standard. - pvm 3.4.beta6 (Parallel Virtuall Machine) PVM allows to use a pool of computer as one virtual machine. Applications are written in C, C++ or Fortran, and access the system via the PVM library.

The OSS program on the disk has bugs in it, so if you want to use it, get it from their web site. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at <A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com"><A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com</A">http://www.hotmail.com</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Well, I had problems getting it installed myself, but with help from the group I got it going. I had to uninstall KDE. I used YaST to do it (delete packages) and then install. (install packages) Install QT first then (if I'm not wrong) the libs, main and the others. It should work for ya. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at <A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com"><A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com</A">http://www.hotmail.com</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
