Debian Configuration :: Checking For Directory With ALSA Kernel Sources
Jan 22, 2011
I followed this doc for the "debian method" for building the kernel: [URL]. I installed the source in /var/tmp/src/linux-2.6-2.6.32 , configured it, and tried make-kpkg modules-image. The error I get is:
checking for current directory... /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver
checking cross compile...
checking for directory with ALSA kernel sources... ../alsa-kmirror
checking for directory with kernel top-level makefile... /var/tmp/src/linux-2.6-2.6.32
checking for directory with kernel headers... failed
make[2]: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver'
make[1]: *** [kdist_image] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver'
Module /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver failed.
I tried some hacks such as setting KBUILD_SRC or ln -s linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64/ /usr/src/linux - but these fail too.

i was not able to install alsa...showing the error checking for directory with kernel source... Please install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel sources (default is /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.el5xen/source). my friends installed the alsa for cent os 5.4...how to rectify this...

I am using Debian testing. If I install the gnome-desktop-environment then the sound driver defaults to HDA but since I just installed gnome-core (for a more stripped-down version of gnome) the default is the OSS driver. How do I get ALSA to default to the sound driver HDA?

I've setup my own repository which I want to use SSH as the protocol. I managed to get everything working with an SSH key using port 22. Now, I would like to change the SSH port. I've already changed it on the SSH/repo server. Now I can't figure out how to change apt to use a custom port on the client computer.
My sources.list file line which worked over port 22: deb ssh://user@1.1.1.1/home/user/repo lenny main contrib non-free I've tried: deb ssh://user@1.1.1.1:12345/home/user/repo lenny main contrib non-free and it fails and actually says "failed connecting to port 22"
Can this be done? I've searched google for hours and I getting nothing but unrelated data. I've read the man pages. The man page for apt.conf specified that you can set the port this way for HTTP, but doesn't mention anything about ssh ports.

I am trying to add usermin source from here: [URL]
If you like to install and update Usermin via APT, edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file on your system and add the line : deb [URL]

I updated to Wheezy from Squeeze and whilst I can make changes to sources.list manually, I can't do some updates in Software Sources.For instance, the 3 check boxes under "Download from internet" are all un-ticked and I can't change them if I wanted to - even though the sources.list is set up with "main contrib non-free"I cannot amend the download server either - it works out what the best server is but wont update if I tell it to.

About configuring my sources.list file.
The default file was:
To which I have added this: deb [url] stable all
Today I decided to include again Debian Volatile and discovered that it doesn't exist anymore and that I can get the same packages using this line: deb [url] squeeze-updates main
And the first question is: is this the same than debian-security?
Then, I decided to use [url] to make things less confused, and this was the output:
The first line is Ok. The second line, I guest it's the same than my second line. But, the third, is something different. So, the main question is: what is the difference between squeeze-proposed-updates and squeeze-updates? Are those repos completely separated from squeeze/updates (in security.debian.org)? And, what else should I add to have an always up-to-date and secure system?

I am not new to Debian and used to use commands like "apt-get install <package>", "apt-get update", "apt-get upgrade" and "apt-cache search <string>" regularly. But I never understood those Debian programs and the Debian package system with it's numerous programs and way to install things and work on software and configurations. Now, I just wanted to do something that I thought to be really easy. Get the source of an existing package. And despite spending over 3 hours - including reading the man-pages of commands - I cannot find a way!
Two things:
dpkg --get-selections | grep openvz
linux-image-2.6-openvz-amd64 install
linux-image-2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 install
I already don't understand why I have two such packages installed. I would like to download the source of my kernel: apt-get source linux-image-2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64. This downloaded linux-2.6_2.6.26-21lenny4.dsc, linux-2.6_2.6.26.orig.tar.gz and linux-2.6_2.6.26-21lenny4.diff.gz
Then, I wanted to patch this - having found no explanation, I did:
cd linux
patch < ../linux-2.6_2.6.26-21lenny4.diff
That seemed to patch the kernel. But I am not sure - there are new files like this now_
[...]
Only in linux-2.6-2.6.26: xenctrl-capabilities.patch
Only in linux-2.6-2.6.26: xenctrl.patch
Only in linux-2.6-2.6.26: xenctrl-privcmd.patch
[...]
So, how can download the complete Debian kernel source? And what do I need to be able to compile it? And - HOW to just list all available sources and search in them?!? I found lots of webpages where tools like "make-kpkg" are used, which I do not understand again. Under SuSE, I could just select the package from a list, say "make oldconfig install modules modules_install" and be ready. Under Debian, I just find no way ...

Would like to know the best way (or the pros and cons of different ways) to set up Alsa. I did a search for information on how to setup alsa on my system. I found a lot of out-of-date information even on the alsa wiki. What I did finally locate was two different methods for setup, both seemed somewhat up-to-date. One method at the alsa wiki said to put part of the information in the modprobe directory in a conf file and set up certain aliases. Earlier suggestions for putting information in modprobe.conf or conf.modprobe appear to be outdated and a directory with separate files for each device and a conf extension to the files is currently used. The second method from a thread on the Debian forum said to use alsactl init, set sound levels the way you want and then use alsactl save and restore functionality. Older methods using alsaconf instead of alsactl init appear to be outdated as well. Not sure where to put the call to alsactl restore though. Didn't notice that in the documentation.In case it matters, I'm running Debian Stable and have a built-in sound card on the motherboard with AC97 compatibility. It's a Realtek ALC882.
Is there a preferred or better method for setting up alsa? Is there a good pointer to instructions that are not out-of-date somewhere? Would be very interested to hear how others set sound up on their machines. What do others recommend as best steps to do this?

Alsa is currently using my HDMI port to play sounds through using card0 "ATI R6xx HDMI". I'm on a laptop and I want to be able to use my laptop speakers and headphone jack so how do I set alsa to use card1 which is "Conexant CX20582"?

I'm hoping someone can help me. I upgraded my server from Lenny to Squeeze this afternoon following the release notes at http://www.debian.org I had no issues and everything is still running. I then installed Sqeeze via the Net Install disc into a virtual machine for some testing. Once the install was complete I found that apt was not working. It turned out the sources file was blank. I manually added the official repos and did an update. There were no new packages for installation.
Now, after a reboot, I get the Grub error:
error: ELF header smaller than expected
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>
I have no idea why this happened because I've not changed grub, just played around with apt. Has anybody any idea why apt had a blank sources file and grub is now failing?

I am currently trying to install Debian 8 "Jessie" AMD64 on a Dell Latitude E7240. I have two 256 GB SSD disks, on the first one I have installed Xubuntu 14.04 successfully. I want to install Debian 8 (XFCE) on the other one.I have tried using Debian-8.0.0-Live-amd64-xfce, Debian-8.0.0-amd64-DVD and Debian-8.0.0-amd64-netinst, all from a USB key (prepared with Unetbootin), but after successfully partitionning SSD disk, the installer raises the following issue:"no install-able kernel was found in the defined apt sources".

I know very little about Debian but have an ASUS T100TA tablet which runs fairly well under Debian 8 Jessie (kernel 3.16.0-4-686-pae). I used the following guide successfully to activate the wireless but am having trouble with the audio section of it.URL...
First, I went here and downloaded the file called 'NEW T100_B.state'.URL....
Then I copied it to /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and ran 'alsactl restore' which reported that i had no soundcards.I then downloaded and expanded linux-firmware-master-intel.tar.gz but am not sure what to do with these files. I copied them to /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-686-pae/kernel/drivers/firmware as they are specific for this kernel, but they don't seem to be doing anything and 'alsactl restore' still tells me that I don't have a soundcard. What do I need to do with these files?

I'm trying to build the package zaptel on debian, but I'm encountering two errors:
1- When I try to run the "make menuselect" command, I get an error stating that I need ncurses which is missing. I tried to get it installed but didn't get to do it yet.
2- After that, there's the command "make" I think it's to build the package. Yet again this fails, and the error I get is "you do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.26-2-686 kernel installed".

I have a problem with my custom kernel when I want to create the Nvidia kernel module.After this finished I installed the image and headers and created the Nvidia kernel module. Everything worked fine.However, if I remove the linux-source from my home directory then I can't create the kernel module.Even though I have the headers for the kernel installed.

I have a set of vm's with stable, testing, and sid to keep track of how things are going. When I did an apt-get dist-upgrade with squeeze last week, things seemed to OK (350 package updates) until the end. It didn't seem to like and / or was confused by a kernel dependency.
I am not too concerned yet. Because these are in vm's, I do a snapshot before any significant change. I can futz around with impunity because I have that backup.
I re-booted, and tried the apt-get dist-upgrade again with same results. I think I also tried apt-get -f install.
So I reverted to the snapshot, and will simply try again in the future. I recall that with lenny as testing, the font-desktop was really screwed up for about a period of 6 weeks.
However, just in case someone else runs into this:
1) a re-boot worked, but the failure of apt-get made me nervous enough to revert.
2) waiting for corrections has seemed to work in the past (with a single exception with a 4-disk SCSI software RAID10 update that failed to re-boot lenny successfully after what seemed to be a minor update -- that was on a real system, not a vm. I haven't gotten back to look at that.)

I have installed CentOS 5.4 & am trying to install VirtualBox on it. To install VirtualBox I run the command:
yum localinstall path/Virtualbox.rpm
It runs through the dependency check & says everything is fine. It installs the rpm & then says that compiling of the kernel module failed & that VirtualBox will not start until this is fixed, & that the most like cause is that the kernel sources are not installed.
I have installed the kernel-devel package & have the kernel source tree located at /usr/src/kernel/2.6....

I'm working on my first bash script. My script will do several things but right now I'm just trying to get the basic part of it down and working.I have a section that looks like this
Quote:
#/!bin/bash
SERVER=$1
if [ ! -d `ssh ${1} /somedir`];then
echo "Bad"
[code]...
The problem is that if you take that right now and run it, it will return back good in that it does exist. What I need it to do is pass back that it's bad because it doesn't exist (that is unless you actually do have that directory in your root).

On Lenny, due to some compatibility issues: kernels before 2.6.26 don't recognize part of my vaio laptop's hardware, while the last drivers of my videocard (version: 260, card: nvidia gt 230m) suffer some incompatibility problem (this is one of the most problematic computers I ever had), so I have to use version 256, which doesn't work with kernels after (perhaps) 2.6.32. So, I suppose I have to check each kernel between that two versions and hope that one of them will be ok. I searched quite deeply over the net but didn't find anything related to debian, except for generic kernels [URL], but as someone told me that it's better if I only install stuff from the stable repository or backports. What can I do? Is there any backports archive or something like that? Otherwise, what should I do?
