[SLE] #$^%$#^^^$ Sound in 6.4 @#$%%^^
by hattons＠bellatlantic.net 03 May '00

03 May '00

I just got sound working in 6.4. I used the OSS that came with it. I couldn't get OSS to configure at first because it kept telling me it was looking for a 2.2.14-UP kernel. Stupid me, I just gave it a 2.2.14 kernel. I finally got it running after updating the kernel (and some other stuff) from the ftp site. I messed with ALSA until my brain went numb... Ok for a little longer than that ;-) I kept getting complaints that it couldn't find the /etc/asound.conf. We the instruction say to create that by running "alsactl store" which kept telliing me I had to have a sound card installed. When I ran the "alsaconf" it said it couldn't start the card because there was not /etc/asound.conf. Well how do you get the /etc/asound.conf if the FINE config tool won't make it????? I'm using an AZT1008 PnP SOUND DEVICE (CS4231). Does anybody have this working with ALSA? The say it's supported. Is there something wrong with the ALSA on the 6.4 CD? Can we expect an update?

Unfortunaly I hate winblows and won't run it. Running windows is a requirement for DSL in your corner of the world? A method for getting around this is to install windows on a junker box just long enough to pacify a DSL installer. After the installer has left, you port the DSL modem, NIC, and settings over to a linux box and it's business as desired.

[SLE] kernel rebuid and scsi module problem
by zentara＠freewwweb.com 03 May '00

03 May '00

Hi, Just for fun I rebuilt 2.2.14 kernel with the source from kernel.org. I originally installed suse 6.4 using the scsi "initio" module. In my kernel rebuild, I built scsi support into the kernel, renamed /lib/modules/2.2.14 to .old and did a new "make modules_install". The problem is, upon rebooting, the built-in kernel scsi support finds the scsi card first, then a few lines later, the system tries to load the "initio scsi module" and the system hangs. My only guess is that the initial modular install created some reference to using the initio module, which I don't understand where it's coming from. The only reference I could find was the top line in /etc/rc.config, which had a line: INITRD_MODULES=INITIO I uncommented it , but it had no effect, the problem persisted. What is going on? Why does the system insist on using the module "initio", even though my kernel rebuild dosn't use it?

Hi gentlemen: I am log in as root and run wvdial and go to another console as xxxxx user. Is this the secured way of internet conenction or do I have to do wvdial as xxxxx user. It seems that I cant access /dev/ttyS1 even after configuring it in YAST and also chmod & chgroup commands. Thanks for your assistance to this newbie question. I will log in in my linux box next time. As you see I am in AOL mail. :-) Jess -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Have a dell poweredge 2300 that we would like to turn into a quicktime streaming server I've found the software to do this but I was wondering if anyone has installed suse on one of these machines. I did a search on google and apparently some people had trouble installing debian.
