  3. Radio link does not work [solved]

    in Software

    Posted

    There is a website (http://www.madridman.com/multimedia.html) that I used to visit when I was using Windows, from there I could listen to some Spanish radio (specifically Radio Sur). With linux I have not been able to do that. i have downloaded Real Player and saved the Radio Sur link (RAM extension) and it worked a couple of time but not anymore. Why is the link not working directly anyway like in WIndows? Could anyone tell me what to do in order to listen to those Spanish radios. Many thanks

  5. Sound not working [solved]

    in Hardware

    Posted

    ianw1974, I have done that but still no sound whatsoever. Should the computer at least beep? None of the jack at the back coming from the sound card are connected but the speaker from the monitor should be connected though the MoBo no? I know that the sound card works because I had speaker before. By the way I use a switch box for sharing monitor/keyboard/mouse with another PC (running Windows XP).

    Hi Chalex20 thanks for the help. Every thing seems to be on except for:

    Line-In

    Mic as Center

    Mic Boost

    Mic Select

    Video

    2nd PCM - IEC958

    IEC958 Input Monitor (Could this be what I need as my speaker are on the monitor?)

    IEC958 Output

    Mix

    Mix Mono

    Duplicate Front

    External Amplifier

     

    Those ones I can' t select and turn up the bar.

     

    Any ideas, thanks

  7. Sound not working [solved]

    in Hardware

    Posted

    OK here is the problem: I run mandrake 10.1 community (sorry just to mention that I am a real beginner at Linux). I have the following sound card installed - VT8233 [AC97 Audio Controller], driver: Module: ?snd-via82xx Alternative drivers: ?via82cxxx_audio. Following the troubleshooter from Harddrake 2 I have the following:

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    snd-via82xx : VIA Technologies|VT8233 [AC97 Audio Controller] [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO] (vendor:1106 device:3059 subv:1458 subd:a002)

     

    When I enter the following command nothing is coming back:

    grep sound-slot/etc/modules.conf

     

    Next:

    [root@localhost etc]# /sbin/chkconfig --list sound

    sound 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

     

    Next:

    [root@localhost etc]# /sbin/chkconfig --list alsa

    alsa 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

     

    Next:

    [root@localhost etc]# aumix -q

    bash: aumix: command not found

     

    Next:

    [root@localhost etc]# /sbin/fuser -v/dev/dsp

    usage: fuser [ -a | -s | -c ] [ -n space ] [ -signal ] [ -kimuv ] name ...

    [ - ] [ -n space ] [ -signal ] [ -kimuv ] name ...

    fuser -l

    fuser -V

     

    -a display unused files too

    -c mounted FS

    -f silently ignored (for POSIX compatibility

    -k kill processes accessing that file

    -i ask before killing (ignored without -k)

    -l list signal names

    -m mounted FS

    -n space search in the specified name space (file, udp, or tcp)

    -s silent operation

    -signal send signal instead of SIGKILL

    -u display user ids

    -v verbose output

    -V display version information

    -4 search IPv4 sockets only

    -6 search IPv6 sockets only

    - reset options

     

    udp/tcp names: [local_port][,[rmt_host][,[rmt_port]]]

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I don't have dedicated speaker on this machine, just the monitor's speaker (that I know for sure that they are working). Could anyone tell me what is missing on my system. Many thanks.

  10. Creating a new alias [solved]

    in Command Line, Kernel and Programming

    Posted

    This is my bashrc

     

    System wide functions and aliases
# Environment stuff goes in /etc/profile

# by default, we want this to get set.
# Even for non-interactive, non-login shells.
if [ "`id -gn`" = "`id -un`" -a `id -u` -gt 99 ]; then
	umask 002
else
	umask 022
fi

# are we an interactive shell?
if [ "$PS1" ]; then
case $TERM in
	xterm*)
		PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"'
	   ;;
	*)
	   ;;
esac
[ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ] && PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "

if [ -z "$loginsh" ]; then # We're not a login shell
	for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
		if [ -x $i ]; then
			. $i
		fi
	done
fi
fi

unset loginsh
alias today='date +"%A, %B %-d, %Y"'
alias shut='shutdown -h +1 "That's all folks"'
~
~
"bashrc" 36L, 763C											  36,46		 All

     

    This is my .bash_profile

     

    # .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
	. ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export PATH
unset USERNAME

alias l='ls -l'
".bash_profile" 16L, 245C									   1,1		   Top

    Since yesterday I have lost my logout option from the start button. Usually I had three option shutdown computer, restart, logon as another user. Now all I get is "End session for [user]". Any idea on what happened there? Many thanks.

  15. Checking which version... [solved]

    in Command Line, Kernel and Programming

    Posted · Edited by TheNovice

    Thanks guys, AussieJohn, I did try your method before posting but for some reason it does not give me the info I was looking for (Do you know why??). Why do I make my life harder? Well I love to learn, this is why I took the transition from Windows to Linux, and I think it is good to know different ways to do things.

     

    jboy your method is spot on, it comes back with the following:

    "10.1.0 1.0 Color Blue"

    All I wanted to know. Thanks guys
