Debian Hardware :: Getting Dolby Worked With Lenny?
Apr 17, 2010
This is my first ever question. I'm a new-bee when it comes to configuring lenny at admin level, however with the help from the forum I was able to get my SONY Vaio VGN cs 190 configured successfully. I've gnome-core installed and here is my concern. I've Windows running on the same machine. I've a realtek sound card with Dolby SoundRoom. It works beautifully in Windows, as I've Dolby Control Center application to control the amount of bass I need. I also have a logitech Z-2300 2.1 Speaker system. Even though, it's a 2.1, it produces amazing sound. If I disable Dolby using Dolby Control Center, I fail to listen wonderful sounds whether I'm playing music or movies in Windows.
I'm not quite pleased with my experience of movies or music with Lenny as there is no Dolby Control Center application to control it. I've tried several suggestions, but none was fruitful. I've even tried Wine, but I'm not happy with it. If I can get this Dolby Control Center to work, I can completely take off Windows from my Laptop, which is my ideal goal.

I had this PCMCIA USB 2.0 card that worked in Lenny when I put this laptop into my closet in late 2009. I brought it back out a few weeks ago and put a fresh install of Squeeze on it, and it does not recognize the card. dmesg says something about "ignoring the device" (sorry, I don't have the machine in front of me).
Laptop in question is a Toshiba Tecra 8000. The PCMCIA card... has no brand on it whatsoever. I thought I had the box somewhere, but I have been unable to find it.

i was trying to use gnome and kde but i don't like them. I tried xfce and it seem to fit my needs but.My computer is used to be powered on for a weeks. While time passes, a process xfdesktop begin to use more and more memory and to free RAM i need to log out and log in again.
I tried squeeze yesterday on my virtual machine and it has 4.6 and seem not to have that bug, RAM usage is static(yes it still works when i write this and have memory usage 34492k, which is not changing for an hours of usage already), also 4.6 is MUCH better than 4.4.
i already tried adding squeeze to "sources.list" but i can see too many dependencies which should be upgraded if i install 4.6, i'm beginning to afraid it can crash entire GUI(or entire system, i can see there is libc6 required to be updated).

I have just installed Debian 5 and KDE. All works fine. I wanted to add in a 200GB IDE drive and all worked fine except when I use Konqueror to look at the drive contents it is unmounted. I can mount it o.k., but my question is:
Where do I put the mount command so that the drive mounts at startup? Do I have to set permissions as well and if so can i do this so that the drive is r/w accessible to me as a non root user? My system is just a desktop machine running Openoffice and Internet access.

It happened when I updated my php5.4 to 5.5 version on my small Debian 7 server. I am only getting GRUB right after BIOS boot pass, then none of the keys working even C or Shift buttons to go to command promt except CTRL+ALT+DEL.
I have tried rescue mode with live CD, selected myserver/root/ partition to install GRUB but not worked.
How to recover my server, I have some important data in it and I don`t want to destroy them.

Basically my portable computer's speakers have "Dolby Home Theater - Virtual Surround Sound" written on them. Now I figure there has to be some software (in Windows) that controls the whole thing. Is there something similar that in Ubuntu?

Been using Windows 7 for a good while but would love to make a switch over to Ubuntu i installed via WUBI the 64bit of 10.4. The headset is detected and the mic is detected and both work fine but the Dolby 7.1 "effect" does not work at all. Now in Windows a app has to be running for the Dolby part to work. Any thought on how to get that to also work in Ubuntu?

I have this one AVI file legally downloaded from Veoh, which, however, I cannot playback. If I try to play it back under Totem 2.26.5, (GStreamer 0.10.25), I can see the video, I get no obvious error messages, but I get no sound no matter what I set the volume to: other files I get sound. Under Properties, I see for the Audio codec: Dolby Digital (AC-3). I am running Fedora 11 with all the updates.

My 785G motherboard comes with an integrated sound card. In the manual I see there is an option to install Dolby Software to make 2-channel stereo sources play to 4, 5.1, and 7.1. Is there any equivalent Dolby or other software for OpenSuse 11.2?

i do have a strange problem get running php5 on lenny 64 inside apache2. i had installed it as all instructions on the web does: # apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-cgi
apt has enabled php automatically, so
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf does have inside:
<ifmodule mod_php5.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

I have added a 10 Mbps network card to my SGI O2 MIPS workstation running Debian Lenny running the 26-2 kernel. The workstation already has an onboard NIC which is working fine.(eth0).
lspci -v shows ths card as:-00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Compex ReadyLink 2000 (rev 0a) Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 18 I/O ports at 1800 [disabled] [size=32] Upon googling I found out that this card is an NE2000 clone. I downloaded the latest 2.6.36 kernel sources and did the following:-
1. Make Menuconfig
2. Loaded an alternate kernel config file (my working kernel config file)
3. In DeviceDrivers->Network device support->Ethernet (10 or 100 Mbit)
I selected ASIX AX88796 as the help associated with this showed it as an NE 2000 clone. configured it to be a module and did make, make_modules and make_install. Edited /etc/Modules to load ax88796 and added an alias eth1 ax88796 to this file. copied the new kernel to the /boot and did a reboot, the machine booted up fine and udev -r showed the 2.6.36 kernel and lsmod showed ax88796 loaded. But, Iam not able to bring up eth1 using:-
ifup eth1
The error messages given are:-
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
[Code]...

I'm trying to install Debian/Lenny on a iBook clamshell. I couldn't seem to burn an install CD that the iBook would recognize, so I eventually copied the contents of the CD onto a self-powered USB drive and I can now get the iBook to boot off of that thru open firmware. However, when I get to the Debian installer main menu, it still won't read the CD, and apparently it does not have network drivers to install over Ethernet. Is there any way I can supply a driver for the ethernet interface (lspci reports that its a sun GEM ethernet interface) or somehow convince the installer to install from the content of the USB drive (which is a duplicate of what's on the installer CD)? Heck, if it'd be easier to get the Airport interface running to reach the Internet I'd be up for that too.

Could anyone tell me how to get Debian Lenny to automount CDs the same as Ubuntu does i.e. automatically, with a Desktop icon etc.I've worked out how to automount CDs using autofs, which is OK, but it still doesn't seem quite as good as the way Ubuntu does it.

I have problem with loging, actually iptables logs a data but it seems that for some reasons does not writes in a log file:
Code:
iptables -L -v
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 406 packets, 124K bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- any any xxxxxxxxxxx anywhere tcp dpt:xxxx
[Code]....
i checked /var/log/message and /var/log/syslog nothing is here related to iptables. then i create separate file for Iptables by adding this: kern.warning /var/log/iptables.log in my rsyslog.conf it does create iptables.log file inside /var/ but its still empty

I've found that I need to use pppoeconf, but it doesn't work. I have default Debian kernel with PPPOE module. After looking for the modem it gives me the following message:"Sorry, I scanned 1 interface, but the Access Concentrator of you provider did not respond. Please check your network and modem cables. Another reason for the scan failure may also another pppoe process which controls the modem."pppoeconf detected the interface successfully (eth0, I have only one interface), but doesn't work. It does, however, work with my router connecting without any issues.

have you ever encounter such problem that the g2c lib can not be find in lenny debian when using gcc -lg2c ... I have tried several methods but failed to solve it. I use the apt-file search g2c and find that libg2c0: /usr/lib/lig2c.so.0. However, it looks could not work. I wonder if I should install the g77 compiler which is no in lenny, but I don't know how to install g77.
