recently installed lenny (5.0.4). I can't get any sound whatsoever (except pc speaker). I had to muck around with vlc to get video working, that works fine but there's still no sound. I have a C-media CMI8738 sound card, I've run alsaconf in root which seems to work fine, I've mucked around with alsamixer (v1.0.16) changing volumes and muting things but haven't had any change. Computer is an AMD Athlon xp2500.
View 5 RepliesI installed debian lenny on a compaq computer with 383Mb Ram, a P3 processor, on a 996Mb Partition. Then I ran Code: #apt-get install xserver-xorg-core xorg alsa-base alsa-utils hal udev xfce4 xfce4-goodies xfce4-mixer xfce4-mixer-alsa thunar-archive-plugin sudo slim Everything installed OK so I ran Code: $sudo alsaconf Everything worked OK until the end, then I get the error,
Code: Loading driver...
Setting default volumes...
amixer: Muxer attach default error: No such file or directory
Now ALSA is ready to use. For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.
Have a lot of fun! and when I run Code: $aplay /usr/share/sounds/Front_Center.wav I get Code: ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such file or directory

I'm using Debian Lenny, the only problem that I have is that the sound card isn't recognize by the system, I have installed ALSA 1.0.20 and I followed several tutorials trying to enable my sound card (ATI tech Azalia (Intel HDA)but all tries fail.
So, after install another distro in the same pc I figured out that the sound card is enable and running by default, the ALSA version is the same -1.0.20- but the kernel is different -2.6.31.xx- so my questions are:
1. do you recommend me to upgrade my lenny's kernel to fix the problem?
2. is there a way to upgrade specific packages -for example samba, alsa, kernel- using unstable or testing versions instead of upgrade the entire distro? actually I'm confortable with lenny
3. what configuration should I check in the "other" distro to use that parameters in lenny?
After successfully installing Debian 5.0 stable from a CD, I noticed that there wasn't any sound. I unmuted the volume in Debian itself and there still wasn't any sound! I ran alsaconf and it came up as a VIA VT8233/A/8 sound card.

I have several computers based on ECS G41T-M motherboard, featuring ICH7 chipset with VIA VT1708B 8-ch audio codec. I've installed Debian Lenny 64-bit on it. The sound itself works, but mixer does not, thus, for example, I can not get my recording app working, changing volumes does not work etc.

I recently reinstalled Debian. Previously I had sound working in schroot without a problem. I simply added the user to the audio group ran alsaconf and it worked.Alsaconf has been removed from squeeze so I tried from Lenny. Alsaconf installs but does not find the sound card in the schroot. In deed it seems to be looking for amd64 modules (those of the host system).

Today i found out i can not play mp4 files in Lenny! What should i install in order to be able to play this files?
I had to build it with nls (locales) and the mozilla-plugin disabled, due to the Lenny libc6 causing problems.

Big and Free link: (may disappear): [url]
64-bit debs only (about 9 MB): [url]
I have had reports of the aspect ratio being weird for ATI cards, as well as no full screen, but it works fine in the Virtual Box Lenny, as well as on my Intel graphics.
You will also need the lenny-backports repo, to get some missing or updated libraries. see backports.org
You would need to install the vlc-data deb first, then you can install the rest of the debs: (except for the -dbg version, unless you need it) dpkg -i *386.deb
If you have missing dependencies, you get an error=1, so get the missing dependencies with aptitude -f install or apt-get -f install. You may have to manually install the lenny-backports libraries if you have trouble. You actually don't need the -dev, dbg, and most of the other libraries, so you may want to look at what the vlc metapackage needs and install those.
I'm running 64-bit Debian lenny, and am trying to run a 32-bit program that requires libGLEW. I've installed libGLEW using apt-get install libglew1.5, but when I try to run the program I get the error: error while loading shared libraries: libGLEW.so.1.5: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
It seems the default install of libGLEW is in 64-bit mode, and the program can't use the 64-bit libraries. It looks like I need to install libGLEW in 32-bit mode, but I've no idea how to do that.
I am new to debian, But I was using ubuntu previously. Now I have installed debian Lenny and I want to install the VLC player, When I try the below command nothing happens.Do I need to add any repository?
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
I`m using the VLC player available for Lenny. I used VLC in other distributions and it always played mkv`s fine and had an option to have only one instance of VLC running, so it would enque added files. But the Lenny version doesn`t seem to have it and doesn`t play mkv files as smooth as Lennys default player, which is odd.
I`m fine using the inbuilt player for mkv`s but is there an option to have just one instance of vlc? I like to click files and just have them added to the current playlist rather than have them all open in new instances of the program.
I now have a newer vlc installed, with enque and other newer features than the default, thanks to following the advice of and using packages built by stevepusser.
I run 'make' in the Etoile folder, and get this error message:

For instance, I can't see graphs in Google Analytics; can't change time period.Also, some video sites require the latest version of Flash. When I go to Adobe download, I only see *.debs for Ubuntu. But I'm not sure which version of Ubuntu is compatible with Lenny.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have just installed Lenny on a Thinkpad R50p. During the install I opted for no root password, using the sudo option instead (I've been used to this on Kubuntu for a long time). After installing, I added KDE 3.5 with apt-get install kde-desktop - all seems to be OK, except that I am unable to add packages or perform tasks for which a root / admin password is needed. It seems that the install-time choice of sudo (shared password) does not propagate to the KDE install, which is still expecting a root password.
how to either enable the KDE desktop to work with this shared password setup, or whether there is a better route to a KDE 3.5 desktop than just installing as I did (I am aware of Trinity KDE 3.5 but the Pearson Computing source is still not up, are those packages available for Lenny anywhere else, and are they recommended?). I can of course rerun the whole install and choose root & user passwords but if there is a smarter solution it would be less of a 'reinstall Windows' type of fix
I've had a very frustrating time the last few months trying to find a KDE4 based desktop that is stable enough and not lacking some basic functions (print manager, for goodness sake), so I have temporarily thrown in the towel and will try a Stable installation that is not changing (breaking) all the time, until KDE4 series gets past this adolescent stage of development and settles down.
I do need to get back to a system I can work on rather than keep on trying different installations!
Due to a bug that will be fixed at squeeze (I'm running lennyx64), I can't mount ntfs partitions from gui interface (or else, directories with non-English characters will be ignored).
So I'm mounting with disk-manager (hd partitions only), or from konsole. Obviously, mounting from konsole, is the only option for usb flash sticks.
Suddenly, just out of the blue, today debian stopped mounting ntfs partitions from konsole. Since this was my only option for mounting safely my friend's sticks, I have a big problem right now.
I can't figure out many things from the error message:

I have upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze. Aside from a few installation issues, the upgrade went relatively smooth. I had a problem with the graphics proprietary driver not being installed after the upgrade but I was able to solve the problem. I also successfully upgraded the filesystem from ext3 to ext4. One thing that did break on the upgrade is that now I do not have the capability to add and switch workspaces. I went into compizfusion and added for horizontal workspaces, but clicking on them does not switch to them. If I right-click on the preferences, it does not let me allow to add any more workspaces. I can change the number workspaces displayed through Genetal tab in compiz but the graphics appeared that they exist, but when I click or try to even switch between them it does not work. I was able to send a window to workspace two but then I lose all access to it. So it seems it might even exist but the applet in bottom right corner does not let me switch between them.Also draggin a window of the edge to another workspace does not work.
