How to get 4 speakers working ?
by Cleary_Mike＠emc.com 01 May '02

01 May '02

I have a SoundBlaster Live! card which SuSE 8.0 detected configured w/ no problems. In general, sound seems to work just fine. But I can only get sound out of 2 speakers (I have 4). This problem has plagued me for a long time and I'd really like to get it licked. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cleary_Mike(a)emc.com x6033 ----------------------------------------------------------------- We are born naked, wet, and hungry.

I did, twice, even sent the Kinternet log. Only reply I got was to check wvdial.conf which I did. Added password and logon in it, then Kinternet would not even connect. KPPP works.

If application support were to be offered with the box of 8.0 it would could many times more. If there's still an issue with this software, why not ask it here - we're here to help...

If you look in the help file, you will see Suse written all over it. Also, search on internet turned up email reply from KDE saying this was Suse component and no KDE.

hehe...I had the same issues, you must be coming from v6.x aye? after installing your packages you must use the runlevel editor to auto start/stop services.

Strange problem with SuSE 7.2
by cjne 01 May '02

01 May '02

When doing anything with the net. The downloading stops/hangs/times out. Http, ftp, wget, opera, mozilla, command line ftp, it doesn't matter. It even fails yast updates. It makes it very difficult to dl updates in any form, and has caused a few headaches trying to figure out a problem with what I think is an application. There is plenty of free space, system doesn't crash or hang on anything. And nothing noticeable in the logs. It doesn't do this under windows 2k, or any of my other computers on my network. Could someone can give me some clues in what dirrection to look? Is there any more information I need to be giving? System: AMD 850 Slot A Epox EP-7kxa Creative Lads SB16 Isa (ya ya, I will get a turle beach santa cruze very soon) 386 Ram (pc 133) Adaptec 29160 SCSI card 2 WD 18g 10k RPM drives 1 Seagate 9g 10k ROM drive (boot, w2k/suse) 1 Atlas 10k 9g Zip (scsi too) Plextor CDROM ultraplex wide (scsi) AOpen geforce2 mx 200 (nvidia drivers loaded, but not the latest) Linksys LNE100TX (rev 2) System boots w2k, and I have boot.ini pointing to suse 7.2. Hard drives have plenty of cooling, disabled on board sound(yuck!) and IDE in bios. using latest bios on everything that I can update. (cdrom, 29160, EP-7kxa, etc) Any ideas? any questions? I would really like to figure this out. Thanks -Cody

Where are my kernel sound modules?
by ForeverCheerful 01 May '02

01 May '02

In order to try and get more info on my usb sm card reader regarding it's insistance on mount sda1 as write protected I decided to change one option in my kernel config. The steps I took were: make cloneconfig make xconfig (changed the setting) (then following the manual) make dep clean bzImage make modules make bzlilo make modules_install (for good measure. :-) ) mkinitrd lilo I rebooted the system and everything seemed fine (still won't mount sda1 write protect off) but no sound. I tried to load the modules manually snd-sbawe. I got an error message saying it couldn't be mounted. I checked /lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/kernel and there were no sound modules whatsoever. They were there before I attempted my little kernel config. exercise but they now seemed to have disappeared. Can someone tell me what I did wrong? What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

You might make sure that the volume is turned up in the mixer settings.

emacs on SuSE 8
by Francesco Scaglioni 01 May '02

01 May '02

Hi, I noticed that when emacs starts in suse 8 it loads a SuSE specific file: /usr/lib/emacs/21.1/i386-suse-linux/fns-21.1.1.el Has anyone else notice strange behaviour from emacs in 8 ( eg colour-theme causing emacs to crash along with records-mode non-functioning ) whereas with emacs 21.1 from gnu they were fine. Could this file be naything to do with it? Cheers F
