You can use which ever one you want. If you want to use that instead of alsa that's ok, and the message can either be ignored or you can remove the alsa startup scripts in /etc/init.d/alsasound. If you made the kernel emu10k1 a modules instead of IN the kernel then put a line in /etc/init.d/boot.local to load it at bootup. snd-card-emu10k1 is alsa (not in kernel) and will be gone from the default installation if you CHANGE kernels. emu10k1 is a kernel sound driver built when you compile your kernel.

I have two kernels and the append line addressed the wrong one. Now it works. I feel pretty stupid right about now. Anyway, thank you in particular, and all of the rest of the nice folks on this list for trying to help me. Thanks again, and my regards to all. Bob S.

Re: HELP ! Corrupted file system
by Raymond Fung 02 Dec '01

Hi Bjoern, Unfortunately no. My harddisk is still pending there with the corrupted super block. In fact, this is the second hard disk that got corrupted (with the same error message and condition) in the recent 2 months. I am still studying the internal inode structure to try to rescue it manually, as I cannot find any other tools that can do it automatically. So, if you do find something, pls let me know too. Regards, Raymond.

I'm just in the same situation now .. > > Greetings > Bjoern

I want to do this (dont give me other ways of doing this specific task since I want to make an abstract to apply in other situations) # locate netscape (pipe) grep xpm (pipe) cp stdout /opt/kde/share/icons Now how do I assign: "locate netscape (pipe) grep xpm" to be variable $1 and then how do I manage to make cp copy $1 ? What about more than a variable? Thanks! Raul

Compiling vsftpd - make install bug?
by Praise 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

Hi all, I have just downloaded and compiled vsftpd. By the way, there must be a mistake in the make file, as it does not install! When I try to install it I got an installation script as an output, but nothing moves. I am not an expert in make files, and I running that script by hand, but it should really be the correct behaviour? Praise
