jlc Posted April 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Just remember, unless you need a specfic package fron linuxpackages.net I leave it like so #REPOS_ROOT=LinuxPackagesDOTNET%ftp://ftp.linuxpackages.net/pub/Slackware-9.1 ONLY do "swaret --upgrade" with that line looking like that ^^^^^ that way all your main system files are ONLY done by Pat V. and Slackware. No offense to all the people there, but its just bettter to stay with Pat. Do this : REPOS_ROOT=LinuxPackagesDOTNET%ftp://ftp.linuxpackages.net/pub/Slackware-9.1 Just to grab things that slackware doesn't provide, like evolution or famd for example. Each time you edit /etc/swaret.conf run swaret --update That syncs you up, just make sure it says GOOD or DONE, if you see FAILS, just keep doing it until all is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FX Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Thanks cybrjackle!!! I did get sound working....... with a reinstall. I am suprised at how easy and fast it is to install Slack. Yes it helps to have paritions already setup from a previous Linux install, but I find it just as easy as Fedora or MDK, but a heck of alot faster. I'll work on the update and upgrades the next time I get a chance. I have school later this morning, then work 10 hrs then do it all over again on Thurs. Fri. have an appraisal being done on the house, then work again. I may fit some time in Sat. or Sun, so if you don't hear or see me until you know what I am up too. Again, thanks alot for your time in helping me. Also everyone else in #musb that chimes in to help also. FX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FX Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Well I updated like you told me too and configured Lilo also. When I boot into the 2.4.25 kernel I get a boat load of insmod errors. When I finally get into Gnome I get these two errors also. 1- Mixer_Applet2 Process 2441 has crased 2- OAIFD:Gnome_MixerApplet Details: Unknown Corba excetion id: IBL:omg.org/Corba/Comm_Failure :1.0 I also don't have a "speaker Icon" or mixer. (Probably caused it crashed) :) Here is my lsmod.............. bash-2.05b$ lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-pcm-oss 37860 0 (unused) snd-mixer-oss 12536 0 [snd-pcm-oss] keybdev 2052 0 (unused) mousedev 4212 1 hid 21092 0 (unused) usbmouse 2040 0 (unused) input 3200 0 [keybdev mousedev hid usbmouse] uhci 24508 0 (unused) ehci-hcd 17644 0 (unused) usbcore 59436 1 [hid usbmouse uhci ehci-hcd] i810_rng 2528 0 (unused) snd-intel8x0 18888 0 (unused) gameport 1420 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-mpu401-uart 3200 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-rawmidi 12768 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 3888 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd-intel8x0m 9892 0 snd-pcm 55880 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-intel8x0 snd-intel8x0m] snd-timer 13572 0 [snd-pcm] snd-page-alloc 6324 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-intel8x0m snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 44508 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-intel8x0m] snd 30340 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-intel8x0 snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-intel8x0m snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec] soundcore 3396 7 [snd] ohci1394 24112 0 (unused) ieee1394 42372 0 [ohci1394] 8139too 14216 1 mii 2272 0 [8139too] crc32 2880 0 [8139too] ds 6612 1 yenta_socket 10336 1 pcmcia_core 39972 0 [ds yenta_socket] ide-scsi 9360 0 agpgart 44036 0 (unused) Now if I just leave it alone after installing and don't update I have no problems at all. Any ideas? Thank again for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted April 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 try "alsamixer" from the command line, crank up your "master" all the way and put "pcm" about 75% of the way up. the "esc" out of it and "alsactl store". Open up xmms and either try "alsa" or "oss" pluggin and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FX Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Oh yea forgot to add that part too................ bash-2.05b$ alsamixer No mixer elems found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted April 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 What do you have for those? ls -la /dev/ | grep mixer ls -la /dev/ | grep snd ls -la /dev/ | grep dsp Do you get sound as root? Is your user in the "sys" group? cat /etc/group | grep sys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
