Well, I've apparently got Midnight Commander v4.5.42 installed and I've
brought it up and highlighted the rpm file and hit the enter key and apart
from a brief flash of the window, nothing happens!
Maybe you got a bad rpm file, or something went wrong while trying to
uncompress it.

No, I think he has a version creep problem. He was talking about the
original install on a 6.2 box, which was...
2883115 Mar 8 2000 enlightenment-0.15.5-48.i386.rpm
155910 Sep 26 1999 enlightenment-conf-0.15-9.i386.rpm
and a quick check of the errata directory listing doesn't show an update.
Above, he also mentions mc-4.5.42...
1246566 Mar 8 2000 mc-4.5.42-10.i386.rpm
again, that's the original version off the RH6.2 CD, and there is nothing in
the errata directory listing. The problem is _probably_ here:
1253809 Mar 8 2000 rpm-3.0.4-0.48.i386.rpm
and the errata listing shows
1283762 Mar 21 2001 rpm-4.0.2-6x.i386.rpm
The older version can't update to this - you needed
1236810 Aug 9 2000 rpm-3.0.5-9.6x.i386.rpm
as an intermediate step (there was also a database package change if I
recall correctly - it's been a while).
Now, he's trying to install 'enlightenment-docs-0.16.7-1.noarch.rpm' and I
have no idea where that came from. Red Hat provided these packages after
RH6.2:
rpms.7.0-i386.gz 10813322 Aug 30 2000 enlightenment-0.16.4-6.i386.rpm
rpms.7.1-i386.gz 10803683 Apr 8 2001 enlightenment-0.16.4-7.i386.rpm
rpms.7.1.93.gz 10797889 Jul 23 2001 enlightenment-0.16.4-11.i386.rpm
rpms.7.2-i386.gz 10797881 Sep 7 2001 enlightenment-0.16.4-11.i386.rpm
but I don't show any 'enlightenment' package in 7.3, 8.0, or 9. OK, just
checked the RELEASE-NOTES file for 7.2, and Enlightenment is listed as
deprecated. And in the RELEASE-NOTES file for 7.3, it's been removed.
Now earlier upthread, he says:
| Quote: | I wanted to find and install the doc package for enlightenment. I went to
their website and the only one I could find was the doc package for
0.16.x -- hey, no problem,
|
"their" website - whose? I wonder what the output of 'file' would be,
assuming he has a current version that is aware of version 4 rpms.
A better solution, now that I think about it, might actually be to grab the
tarball, and work with that.

soundcard issues
|
|
|
Hi.
Awhile back, I posted the following:
| Quote: | I am running Fedora FC3 on a Dell.
When I run system-config-soundcard, the following audio device was
detected:
Vendor: Intel
Model: Corp. 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio
Module: snd-intel8x0
I then click the "Play test sound" button, and I hear nothing. Next, I get
an alert box asking "Did you hear the sample sound?" After clicking "No",
I get another alert box saying
Automatic detection of the sound card did not work. Audio will not be
available on the system. Please click OK to continue.
A bit more information: system-config-soundcard prints the following to
the shell window from which it was launched:
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 31
Front Left: Playback 23 [74%] [on]
Front Right: Playback 23 [74%] [on]
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav' : Signed
16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
Moreover, /etc/modprobe.conf is as follows:
alias eth0 3c59x
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
|
An update: I recently was upgraded to a dual-processor HP machine. It is
running Fedora FC3, with the 2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp kernel.
Once again, I tried to configure the soundcard. When I ran
system-config-soundcard, the following audio device was detected:
Vendor: Intel
Model: Corp. 82801/EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller
Module: snd-intel8x0
I then clicked the "Play test sound" button, and I hear nothing. Next, I
got an alert box asking "Did you hear the sample sound?" After clicking
"No", I got the same alert box as before.
This time, system-config-soundcard printed the following to
the shell window from which it was launched:
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 31
Front Left: Playback 23 [74%] [on]
Front Right: Playback 23 [74%] [on]
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav' : Signed
16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
and /etc/modprobe.conf is:
alias eth0 tg3
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
One other thing: I am using the following ALSA RPMs:
alsa-utils-1.0.6-3
alsa-lib-1.0.6-7.FC3
On the offchance that these might be out-of-date, I went to
www.rpmfind.net, looking for more recent versions. The alsa-lib was
up-to-date. However, there was a more recent alsa-utils (1.0.8-1), which I
installed. This made no difference. In the meantime, I have downgraded
alas-utils back to 1.0.6-7.FC3.
So it appears that I'm running into the same configuration problem, on two
different machines, with two different sound cards. Since
system-sound-config is fairly straightforward to use, I don't think I ran
it incorrectly.
Does anybody have any suggestions here? Is this a bug? If so, to whom
should it be reported?
Many thanks.

I went one step further and actually sat down in two xterms and went
through all options between 2.4.18 and 2.4.29, and made sure they were
identicle. Where there existed new options in 2.4.29, I turned them off
as I didnt' need them anyways.
I did notice that there is a reordering in the ATA->IDE menu of
menuconfig; when I get time I'll post the differences. But this is a
configuration-menu difference; I can't see how that would affect the
actual order of IDE probing. |

It does mean the IDE code has been poked around. Since 2.6 is coming into
major use, you may just want to leapfrog the issues of playing with 2.4.
Alternatively, what about upgrading 4 revisions at a time, instead of 11?
And try a 2.4.23 kernel, which I believe was pretty good? |

anyone could help me out.
I am trying to get the USB -> serial adaptor on a Targus Mobile Port
Station to work so that I can attach an external serial modem to my

(which also has a 5 port USB hub) work without any problems so the
hardware does not seem to be at fault. In fact the USB -> serial port is

and attached to /dev/ttyUSB0 as indicated by the following lines from the

No need to at this point. I haven't heard of anything that 2.6 offers
me; although I will admit that I have not looked into it much. I
figured 2.4, b/c I was already running a fairly stable 2.4.18 system and
when I went from 2.2 to 2.4 a while back it caused nothing but headaches
for a while. The 2.4 series works with everything I have; I upgraded to
.29 to try and alleviate the one problem I was having with signal 11's.

The way redhat/fedora labels disk partitions is a good way to go about
things if you have this kind of problem.
Instead of having a line in fstab like...
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1
with a disk label it'd be
LABEL="/" / ext3 defaults 1 1
This way, it doesn't matter of the underlying partition is /dev/hda2, hde2,
sda2 or /dev/wibble2, as far as the OS is concerned, it'll read the label
and go off that.
the command to set a label on a partition is
tune2fs -L
(man tune2fs for full details) |

It's not clear if this is just another turf or someone seeking
for help, with limited English capabilities? Might be the last,
taking into account that he posted from India using a mobile.
There are numerous Howto concerning setup of multiple OS on one
box, using lilo or grub, here's one :

Not really, he posted through a server in Germany, Berlin to be
specific. This free service, not unknown by some turfs, won't be
totally free anymore soon.
