hea

As I use debian now I dont hang much around here but I always recommend MDK to people curious to Linux. Just wondering if the 10.0 is ok for this purpose. So far It has been 9.2 (wich is boring (good)), and I remember I was a bit dissapointed back when the 9.0 came out as it seemed a bit unfinished. So is it better to stay with the 'mature' 9.2 release or is 10.0 okay. (I know 10.1 is out but I'm not a member anymore...) Any opinions wolud be appreciated.

Thanks! Fonts look great in Firefox now. Guess I'll have to do similar to the other apps. In Openoffice its possible to scale the fonts in the config dialog, but thats not the ideal solution I think.

Does anyone know where size of fonts in apps. like firefox, thunerbird, openoffice, anjuta ... just to mention a few. When I say fonts I mean fonts in toolbars, bookmarks etc, not webpages or documents. This is gtk2 apps and they are fine when I use gnome, but not under fluxbox. KDE apps have normal fonts i.e. the fonts I specify in kde control centre.

Got it: apt-get install --reinstall libasound2 (ofcourse). just didn't see that option...

Dont ask how, it's gone. I found that libasound2-package contains the files blonging to this dir. I wanted to apt-get remove and then apt-get install libasound2 to restore. The apt-get remove libasound2 wanted to remove alot of packages depending on this one so i cancelledI. Is there a way to reinstall this package (or get back the dir.) without uninstalling all the other packages first?

Thanks for the suggestions! I have now tried to find other places in bios to disable onboard sound, with no luck. Next I tried to set the IRQ to 5/7/9/11 and even tried to reserve the IRQ I was using. The same thing as described earlier happened again, every time. I did make an observation: No matter wich IRQ I assigned to the soundcard, in the listing during startup describing wich IRQ is assigned to wich device, the onboard network controller always had the same IRQ as the sound card. Spooky (or isn't it?) And during shutdown (after trying to insert the emu10k1 module) the system hangs at : 'Deconfiguring network interface.......' This is not a big issue, I have onboard sound working ok but I came over this card and was curios if this sblive is any better. (Onboard is realtek ALC650 if anyone has compared them).

I'm trying to get a SBlive ct4830 card working on a A7V8x mb. I disable onboard sound in bios and there is no jumper to do this on mb as far as I can see. I have the emu10k1 as a loadable module. After I insert the card I try to load the module by #modprobe emu10k1 Then I get the message 'segmentation fault' If i do lsmod afterwards, the emu10k1 is reported as 'initializing' all the time. rmmod gives 'device busy'. When shutting down the computer it hangs and I have to use button. I have tried different PCI-slots with same result. Can anyone tell me whats wrong here?

No, streamripper does only support shoutcast streams (I know now) So my question is if anyone can recommend a ripper for icecast streams?

The radio from which i normally rip music has done the following: "All radio channels are now received and processed digitally. Sound quality should be signficantly improved. Also, the streaming server has been upgraded from Icecast 1 to Icecast 2." I guess this is the reason why streamripper tells me: "Connecting... error -54 [sR_ERROR_NOT_SHOUTCAST_STREAM] bye.." when trying to rip. Does anyone have a clue how to rip from this "Icecast 2" stream?

I use Linux exclusively. Have for 1 1/2 years now. Why? I just think it is so much better than windows. (Stability, configurability.) Only reason I can think of for using Windows at all would be if I was more into games like halo, cs etc, but i am fine with tuxracer :P At work , well thats a different story....

Hi again! I didnt find any solution in the README file, so a shot in the dark: I generated a new modeline from http://koala.ilog.fr/cgi-bin/nph-colas-mod...elines/list-all and it works!!! now with 73 Hz refresh rate.

Thanks! The only option I can imagine would have an effect on this is the "IgnoreEDID". Tried to set it to "true" under "device" section, but no effect.... Well, do some searching and reading I guess...

Hi! Ive just replaced my ati rage128 with a nvidia gf4 mx440. I use my old XF86config-4 file with the usual mods. Strange thing is that my old modeline (72 Hz V): Modeline "1400x1050" 166.52 1400 1432 2064 2096 1050 1070 1082 1103 wont work, and after some seconds the 1280x1024 is chosen instead. I saw from the XF logfile that the message : 2064 - 1432 is greater than 512. OK, seems the setting are too high BUT why did it work with the old card? Any ideas?

...yes, thats what i should like to know. As it is now i su to root and type pump -i eth0 to get network running. Any suggestions to some place this line would fit. (Theres no rc.local). I' ve read the docs on init.d but Im not sure this is the place to put it? Any thoughts? And, I also want to install Limewire but the installer stops when not finding a working Java VM. This was solved in MKD by making a script that added /usr/java to path and exported this new path. How do you do this in debian?

From the "Old Docs" section : Next: inserting a line in /etc/modules bcm4400 (Name of driver without extension) Next: reboot, and the module for the driver was loaded. To get DHCP running I did a lot of configuring in both dpkg-reconfigure eherconf and netconf (in linuxconf). I dont know wheter any of this was neccessary. The last ting i did before i got the connection up was to uninstall pump, then reinstall it and run pump -i eth0 There it was...
