Have the Hauppauge Win Tv PVR 250 card & I use the audio input plug to record the audio, I use the S-Video connector for my video input. This works fine in Windows. I have the latest Ivtv release installed & the latest MythTv installed. I set the input to S-Video & do a "cat /dev/video0" test I get video but no audio. Since I'm using the audio input on the card how do I set that with Ivtvctl command? Which input # would the PVR 250 audio input be? I have an Audigy Platinum soundcard with the front drive bay with the various inputs & outputs. I do not use these inputs to record the audio when I'm using the S-Video input. The Line in, Aux In , Aux 2 in show up in the Kmix window just as they do in Windows mixer. With all this said is there a way to get Ivtv/Mythtv to record the audio from the Pvr 250 audio input? Thank's. Running Mandrake 10.0 with updates. [moved from Software by spinynorman]

Trying to install the latest spca5xx driver from sourceforge for my Logitech Clicksmart 510 camera. Get the following message: spca5]# make Building SPCA5XX driver for 2.5/2.6 kernel.

According to the readme file this should compile without a problem. Any ideas? [moved from Installing Mandrake by spinynorman]

Got it working! I used the command modprobe videodev & then modprobe ppdev. This then loaded both & then I was able to detect my scanner. Don't know why I needed to "modprobe videodev" to be able to load the "ppdev" module > if someone knows why I wouldn't mind an explanation. Thank's.

I have a HP Scanjet 3200C Parallel port scanner. I had this working on alll previous versions of Mandrake & RedHat by adding the alias ppdev line to the /etc/modules.conf & installing the Sane-backends & editing the dll.conf & umax_ppconf files. Mandrake had no problem setting up my Epson parallel port printer. In my searching I saw a few posts about ppdev patches for kernel 2.6 & another one about ppdev now being a "character device". Wondering how I can get the ppdev problem solved. Any help will be appreciated! Thank's.

Installed Mandrake 10.0 with all updates. I edited the /etc/modules.conf file by adding the line "alias /dev/parport0 ppdev" just as I always have on my previous Mandrake installs to have access to my parallel port scanner. For some reason ppdev is not loading. "insmod ppdev" resullts in an error message > no such file or directory. What am I missing? Thank's.

Supermount was the problem. I noticed on other Mandrake installs they had "none" also. Used Mandrake Control Center to make changes. Below is my new /etc/fstab file: (Works as planned now) /dev/hdh1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hdh8 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/scd1 /mnt/DVD iso9660 noauto,user,ro, 0 0 /dev/sdb5 /mnt/FWHD ntfs user,umask=0 0 0 /dev/scd0 /mnt/TDK iso9660 noauto,user,rw, 00 /dev/sda5 /mnt/USB ntfs user,iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/Win1 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdf8 /mnt/Win2 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hde7 /mnt/Win3 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdh9 /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdh6 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdh7 /var ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdf7 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdh5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdh11 swap swap defaults 0 0 Thank's.

Mandrake 9.1. I'm trying to create desktop icons for my cdrw & dvd drives. I had no problem with the ones I did for my external Firewire & Usb drives. CDRW: dev/scd0 /mnt/TDK DVD: dev/scd1 /mnt/DVD I can read these drives from the folders in Konqueror in the mnt directory. When I try to create the icon shortcuts: the drop down box doesn't show the /mnt/TDK or /mnt/DVD options. I entered the following manually: CDRW: /dev/scd0 (/mnt/TDK) DVD: /dev/scd1 (/mnt/DVD) When I try to access these shorcuts I get a mount error message: mount point doesn't exist. What am I missing???? Below is my /etc/fstab file: /dev/hdh1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hdh8 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /mnt/DVD supermount dev=/dev/scd1,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/sdb5 /mnt/FWHD ntfs user,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/TDK supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/sda5 /mnt/USB ntfs user,iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/Win1 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdf8 /mnt/Win2 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hde7 /mnt/Win3 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdh9 /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdh6 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdh7 /var ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdf7 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdh5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdh11 swap swap defaults 0 0 Thank's.
