Ciao Davide,

In sound section of kernel configuration I've only emu10k1 compiled as a
module and nothing else, but in modules directory :

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 88 2005-01-09 11:36 ac97
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 2005-01-09 11:36 emu10k1

ls -la ac97
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 91080 2005-01-09 11:36 snd-ac97-codec.ko

snd-ac97 moudle, what is it?

I tryed to remove it with rmmod snd_ac97 but when I reloaded emu10k1,
snd_ac97 loads itself again !!

What could I do?
I'm going crazy ;)

thank you,
ciao

If you have to ask, you are probably better off changing only what you
can via the /etc/pam.d configuration files.

mounting an ntfs disk

Yes. Redhat is what I have and yes the rpm distros I've gotten do not have
this module installed as you've stated.

Instead of looking for an rpm that already has this, I decided that it's
time to start hacking around with the kernel so I downloaded the 2.6.10
(I'm currently using 2.4.xx something). It'll be a nice project on a rainy
NY day.
 

Yes! You're right. My NTFS partition is on hda1. Thanks! This little
omission would have set me back.

Thanks for all the info. I apologize if this is a frequent topic.

rpm question...

Posted: 08 Jan 2005 12:28 AM PST

> Dude, you need to lean to use yum.

Nod.

Right now your ftp command is downloading every single RPM every single
time and then stepping through each one to determine if it needs to
upgrade or not. If there are intermediate updates (you are on 1.1 and
there are .2 and 1.3 on your FTP site) it will do all the intermediate
updates (most unecessary).

When you initialize a yum repository, it builds an index on the server
(FTP or HTTP). THe client downloads only the index and then downloads
only the RPMS it needs (and the dependencies) to get the job done.

Frequent system crashes

Rather unusual. Some things to ponder.

1. Do you have another computer on the LAN - is this computer responding
over the network (ping, telnet, anything)?

2. Does pressing the left Ctrl, left Alt and one of the Function keys
(try F2 or F3) bring you to a text login screen? If so, can you log in
as root and see what is going on? NOTE: While the system is running, look
in /etc/inittab and see how many "*getty" lines there are - you would need
to press the Alt and Fn key where n is one number greater than the number
of gettys running in order to return to X.)

3. If 2. fails, does pressing the left Ctrl, left Alt and the Backspace
key restart X?

4. If you _don't_ run X (try a text based login), do you have problems?

5. Could you be having hardware problems? Temperature mainly. Could it
be power problems?

6. Get a bootable CD distribution like Knoppix, or even a rescue floppy
system like Toms RootNBoot (tomsrtbt at any sunsite mirror in the
../system/recovery/ directory) and try running that. Does the system still
lock up?

7. Check the consistency of your software. As root, run the following
command "rpm -Va > files.2.check" look at the 'rpm' man page under
the VERIFICATION section - you are looking for binaries that fail size
or MD5 checks,

8. Does pressing the 'NumLock' 'Scroll Lock' or 'Caps Lock' key cause the
lights on the keyboard to toggle?
 

Did you change anything else besides the software?

change screen resolution

What he said. Read http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html for a
good (if snarky) guide to asking good questions on Usenet.
 

That works for the console. I think the OP meant "how do I change
screen resolution in X?" That's also easy; just use "xvidtune -next" or
"xvidtune -previous". For extra points, use xbindkeys to bind this
command to a key combination like Shift-F7 or a "multimedia key" like
"Mail" on your MS Natural Pro keyboard. HTH,

Red Hat installers and desktops

Posted: 06 Jan 2005 01:25 PM PST

this one's pretty easy :)

anaconda'll install packages (it might even un-install?). to run
anaconda insert, for example, disc one of FC3. your choices, roughly:

1.) remove linux partitions/clean install/something similar

2.) make sure not to pick "desktop" type of system...pick custom.

3.) anaconda'll prompt you for which packages you want. pick, for
example, x windows and don't click KDE or gnome. you could even choose
the "minimal" install at aprox. 510 mb of hard drive space.

after installing, for example, the "minimal" you can then then add
packages to your hearts content.

some options:

A.) re-insert disc one of FC3. use anaconda to "upgrade" your existing
FC install. add packages (such as X windows).

B.) more hard core would be to use grub. IIRC the syntax is "grub
install", "man grub" on that probably. it brings up a list of packages
from redhat, which it downloads and installs for you.

C.) even more hardcore, ftp the sources and compile yourself.


in terms of windows manager, swordfish comes to mind as being
lightweight.

If you're going to be doing a lot of manipulation of files on floppies,
this would be a much faster way:

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy.img
mount -o loop floppy.img /some-convenient-place
... manipulate files on /some-convenient-place ...
umount /some-convenient-place
dd if=floppy.img of=/dev/fd0

Would also save wear and tear on the floppy.

Fedora Core 3 - Blank screen for all users but root

Did you copy the contents of /etc/skel/ to the new user directories?
You are running just the reverse of us - we _never_ run a GUI as root,
but that's security for us.
 

X is running - no window manager
 

As root, 'ls -lA' in the home directory. Repeat for the users. You are
missing the 'dot files' that configure X for the users. I suppose you
could also have a permission problem to the global configuration files
normally found in /etc/, but I'd expect to see error messages for that.
You could (as root) use the non-graphical login, then use 'strace' to
see what files are being opened when you start X. Try

strace -eopen startx > /tmp/some.file.name

and then review that file and see that the user has access, or has their
own copy of the needed configuration files.

kernel compilation

Posted: 05 Jan 2005 06:15 AM PST


"AT" <com> wrote in message

And in the short term, the usual method is to take a copy of the old
kernel's config file, found in /usr/src/linux-{kernelname}/config/., copy it
into the .conf file, run "make menuconfig" and only change the things you
need to, then recompile and install.
