phunni Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Is there a way of automating the sound retore? It'd be annoying to have to do an alsactl restore every day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Doesn't it restore on boot? It always says restoring mixer levels [ ok ] .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adriano Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Far as I know, services Sound and ALSA should be enabled at boot to avoid your problem. I think ALSA is the one that manages the mixer settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 (edited) I think there should be something in /etc/modprobe.conf alias sound-slot-1 snd-via82xx alias eth0 via-rhine install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi; /bin/true install snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-via82xx && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci; /bin/true remove snd-via82xx { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-via82xx alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia Just guessing though. Mine is saved at shutdown/reboot and restored at boot. Maybe this just stops it, I d/k. I haven't really looked into it.

kde-head Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Followed upgrade notes - worked flawlessly first time! I'm now on kernel 2.6.2 rc 3. MDK 9.1 system, Radeon RV250 graphics, AMD Athlon XP 2000, AC97 audio controller, 1 Gig RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendal Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) When I try to add the link to my mcc, it fails to download the directory. What dependcies do I need? I downloaded the kernel & the source file ( also a new nvidia .5328 driver). I'm now adding the cooker link :D it worked finally, perhaps just a bad connection. However a list of the dependencies required would be nice for those who use dial up ( like I do at the house) Ok heres what I got when I installed, so hopefully it works for those who are dial users: To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed (20 MB): kernel-2.6.2.0.rc3.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586 libdbus-1_0-0.20-7mdk.i586 libsysfs0-0.4.0-1mdk.i586 mkinitrd-3.5.18-3mdk.i586 module-init-tools-3.0-0.pre9.2mdk.i586 sysfsutils-0.4.0-1mdk.i586 udev-013-3mdk.i586 Is this OK?

bvc Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) yes thatis correct. Say Y you might consider initscripts as well depending on what version you have. Edited February 5, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepes Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I did this once and it work fine, then I hosed my system trying to install debian. So, I reinstalled MDK and tried to upgrade the kernel again and now I can't boot to either the 2.4 or 2.6 kernels. This is the message I get: resume from /dev/hda11 Resume from /dev/hda11 kernel panic: Resume Machine: unable to find supsended-data signiture (-misspelled? any ideas as to how I can fix this without reinstalling are appreciated thanks.

ryanjensen Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Tired of hearing about how fast and cool the new 2.6 kernel is but you don't know how to get it installed? Not sure what a kernel is but love speed? This is for you.Go to this link and download the kernel 2.6 rpm Add that same link to your Software Media Manager under Configuration >> Packaging Open a console and cd to the directory where you saved the kernel rpm type "urpmi kernel-2.6.filename" Reboot Choose 2.6 at the lilo bootloader, and enjoy! Go back into Software Media Manager and uncheck the "Enable" box for the cooker link you added in step 2. Optionally, go into the Mandrake Control Center, go to Boot, and rename the 2.6 in lilo to something cool. It's that easy! I'll edit this post tomorrow to be sure the link is right and to add some pics to clarify. Followed instructions just as you said, and it really was easy to install the 2.6.2-0rc3 kernel. However, I have a problem that I just can't seem to find an answer to anywhere... I have a Compaq 900z laptop with a Synaptics touchpad and Microsoft optical wheel mouse attached via PS/2. Both worked simultaneously under the 2.4 kernel, but only the touchpad works under 2.6 (and fidgety at that). I know they changed the way the mouse is configured/detected at boot in the 2.6 kernel, and I've tried the following advice from Linus: boot linux with "psmouse_noext=1" as option; boot linux with "psmouse_rate=60 psmouse_resolution=200" as option; boot linux with "psmouse_proto={bare|imps|exps}" as options And with all of these, only my touchpad works. Has anyone had success tweaking their 2.6.2-0rc3 kernel installation from the previously-mentioned French site to work with BOTH a touchpad and PS/2 mouse? I'm desparate! Thanks in advance.

aRTee Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Could you try to enter a second mouse section in XF86Config-4? I have 3 in my config, check my specs for the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Hi thread, I've just spent 2 days, trying to work out how to do 2 things, thing 1 was to install a 2.6 series kernel, thing 2 was to install KDE 3.2 and failed dismally at both. Now I should point out that I thought that I'd managed to sort out the 2 "things" above, at one go, by downloading and installing mandrake 10 beta 2, but that's what seems to have killed of my earlier installs i.e. it wouldn't boot, then it wouldn't start the KDE, then it wouldn't see my graphic's card (probably because I haven't got the latest nvidia driver), then it just hung on a blue screen "a la microsoft". This meant that I'd managed to kill both my mandrake 9.1 install and my gentoo 1.4 install (which maybe still there, but as I haven't got a clue what the gentoo image is called, what the initrd is called or what I would include in my lilo.conf, let alone what I need to include in my /boot partition) I've just spent about 8 hours re-installing 9.1 and getting the various updates/bugfixes/security fixes etc etc. All in all, it's been a cross between and . So now that I'm back to something approaching "square 1", I have a look here and find this: Tired of hearing about how fast and cool the new 2.6 kernel is but you don't know how to get it installed? Not sure what a kernel is but love speed? This is for you. 1.Go to this link and download the kernel 2.6 rpm 2.Add that same link to your Software Media Manager under Configuration >> Packaging 3.Open a console and cd to the directory where you saved the kernel rpm 4.type "urpmi kernel-2.6.filename" 5.Reboot 6.Choose 2.6 at the lilo bootloader, and enjoy! 7.Go back into Software Media Manager and uncheck the "Enable" box for the cooker link you added in step 2. 8.Optionally, go into the Mandrake Control Center, go to Boot, and rename the 2.6 in lilo to something cool. It's that easy! I'll edit this post tomorrow to be sure the link is right and to add some pics to clarify. Now while I'm quite happy to screw up my mandrake install, yet again, I'd rather not, so could I please presume on someone to elaborate on how I'd do this: Add that same link to your Software Media Manager under Configuration >> Packaging ? Also, as the "link" in the original post is this, which kernel "bit's and bob's" would I need, as I see there is a "kernel", a "kernel-BOOT" and "kernel-sources" ? For the second "thing" of getting the KDE 3.2, which I see is at the same site, is there anyway that you would know of to be able to get "the whole shooting match" in one go (and yes one of the earlier cock up's involved me trying to use "konstruct") or do I have to download the individual parts and then install (also would you know if that would give me 2 KDE versions or would it overwrite the one I've got from my dvd powerpack)? Sorry if I sound stupid (well, I suppose I must be), but I'd rather learn how to do this properly than have to go through the routine again. many thanks in advance. regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kde-head Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 (edited) to be fair, mandrake 10 IS a beta, so its to be expected that it will fail to boot on some systems. noticed that you have an nvidia card - here's a rule of thumb to use in future - dont EVER install a linux beta distro on a system with an nvidia card. ATI have been far more collaborative with Linux than Nvidia has , and usually ATI cards have no problems in beta distros. My advice is to swap out that Nvidia and get yourself an ATI.

bvc Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 that's interesting......didn't feel like comenting here, huh? http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?sho...topic=11404&hl= where I say either nvidia is quick to the draw or someone provides a hacked installer, but either way it's done, and shouldn't be worried about for a long time to come. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Ok, I understand what kde-head is saying re trying the #10 beta 2 and nvidia drivers. I just won't bother with version 10 yet. That still leaves the question of exactly what I would need to put into the "Add that same link to your Software Media Manager under Configuration >> Packaging" bit of the original post. Or what I would actually have to put in the filename bit of "urpmi kernel-2.6.filename". does this mean that if for example, it's called kernel-2.6.bigdogswhatsits.rpm then I'd actually put kernel-2.6.bigdogswhatsits.rpm? or would I have to drop the .rpm part ?? Also, I notice at the linked site that there's kernel, kernel-BOOT and kernel-sources all marked up for 2.6.2 hence which would I need ? I think that the version that I'm using is a kernel-BOOT version, but I don't know how to check? any idea's ? regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
