No wireless after upgrading to linux kernel 3.0 in opensuse 11.4. I'm using Kde and gnome 3, everything was working fine under the 2.6.39 kernel, but now both only detects my wired connection. Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated. I have a Netgear WNDA3100 adapter that uses the Atheros drivers. It also is no longer detected in my Fedora 15 after upgrading the kernel, but it still works in Mint 11 with the 2.6.38.8 kernel.
I have an epson stylus sx425w which is a printer/scanner. ubuntu found and installed a driver for me and im able to use the printer fine but for some reason the scanner just isnt working. if i use the simple scan software it says connect a printer and if i press the scan button on the printer and select usb it says connection problem.
i saw a post about this already for ubuntu 10 or 9 and they provided a link for a newly released driver which turned out to be the drive ubuntu installed automatically and that hasnt fixed my problem.
anyone know what the cause could be and how to fix it?
you have an onboard soundcard that you have or may not have disabled in the BIOS, and you intend to use headphones with a USB sound card with headphone and microphone jacks (or no mic jack, it doesn't matter), but you notice that the headphones are detected. Alsamixer provides an interface to control the volume, etc etc, but still the headphones do not work..In my case, the module snd_hda_intel was being loaded for my onboard soundcard that I had disabled in the BIOS before booting the computer for the first time, and even though I tried to "activate" the USB headset in alsamixer, I still couldn't get the headset to work.
Solution as a trial: Open a terminal, and look to the code section for what you need to type.A big missing key to my puzzle is how to simply restart and/or reload a module so that it isn't necessary to unplug and plug back in the USB device. Can't I just re-discover the USB devices? (or other such hardware, such as a PCI card, or otherwise inaccessible component?)
When I run the audio configuration I get: The following audio device was detected: Vendor: nVidia Model Coporation GF100 High Definition Audio Controller Module snd-hda-intel but I do not hear sound.
The ALSA driver version is 1.0.14rc3 Lib package is: 1.0.17.-1.e15 Utils package is: 1.0.17-1.e15
The audio configuration sound test and the answer to the question No returns a message that says: automatic detection of sound card did not work. I am not sure what else is needed to diagnose the problem.
I was wondering what most xubuntu users use to play audio CDs in XFCE. My wife's laptop runs XFCE, and I had a time this last weekend getting it to actually play a CD correctly.It had been configured to load CDs in "listen" audio player, but as far as I can tell listen doesn't even play CD audio. There was nothing in the menu that allowed loading a disc.I tried setting it to Totem, which worked ok until the first track ended. It then stopped, and there was no way to make it continue and play the second track, or get a track listing. Odd, since it has an option for audio CD in the menu.Next I tried mplayer, which worked for a while, but had to be started from the command line since I couldn't get a disc to load from the GUI. After a couple of attempts at this, mplayer locked up the whole desktop.
Next I tried VLC, since it usually sweeps in and saves the day when all else fails. Aside from the annoyance of having to make about six to eight clicks to get an audio CD playing, it did work except that the audio skipped badly and after a few minutes it just died and wouldn't play any more.I finally found a program that worked: KSCD. It's a KDE application designed solely for the purpose of playing audio CDs, and it worked flawlessly.I don't have a problem running KDE apps on XFCE if I have to, but I just think it's odd I had so much trouble getting a program that would reliably do something so straightforward and standard, and wondered if I'd missed something obvious that would have been a better solution.
For those not familiar with the "motion" project it monitors your camera and when enough motion is detected in the video field of view it records that to a video file. The project website is here What I'm looking for is something like that but for audio, does anyone know of any Linux apps that can accomplish this?
I'm growing tired of Gnome and KDE and wish to move towards a more lightweight and customizable interface. I chose Xfce. I downloaded all (I think) the packages related to Xfce but now I'm stumped as to how to actually run it as a default. I might want to try it a couple times first though. Is this possible?
If I put an Audio CD in my CD-ROM drive, then try to open Sound Juicer, I get an error saying that Sound Juicer cannot find any CD-ROM Drives to read. I can't rip my audio cd.
Similar attempts in K3b yielded similar results, albeit differently worded error messages.
I have been using Fedora on and off for a year now, and have decided to take the full plunge and install it as my sole OS. Nearly everything works, although I was noticing some issues with the audio so I decided to install the proper drivers.
I found them here: [URL]
Before I started this process I had a detected sound card in hardware and now it is gone - how do I restore it?
how to get it I am still learning the terminal commands.
I am new to Linux and after a lot of research I settled on CentOS to be my OS for Linux. But I am having trouble with sound right now as I can not play audio. The command system-config-soundcard opened a gui for audio configuration saying following device is detected - Intel Corp. 82801(ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller.
Ouput for some commands are given below:: [root@localhost ~]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory Controller Hub (rev 07) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) .....
Clicking on the volume icon gives me message that either Gstreamer plugins are not installed or sound card is not configured.
While Trying to install gstreamer using YUM, I got following message: [root@localhost ~]# yum install gstreamer Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile ..... Setting up Install Process Package gstreamer-0.10.20-3.el5.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package gstreamer-0.10.20-3.el5.i386 already installed and latest version Nothing to do [root@localhost ~]#
So I guess gstreamer are installed but how to configure the sound card or is there any other problem.
I am interested in finding out the best way to get my audio to work from HDMI through my NVIDIA card.
[code]....
I don't get an option for HDMI. Here is the interesting part. The sounds work sometimes but not all the times. Most of the time the sound works on the OS default sounds but wont work for movies, streaming and music. I am running pulseaudio. I am new to setting this audio up. The headphones work fine.
On another note, the manufacturer (ASUS) actually provides Linux audio drivers for my motherboard (model: P4S533). I attempted to install them, but the configuration process involves using make menuconfig, make xconfig, or make config to add the drivers to the kernel (I think) and I'm still a relatively new Linux user and had no clue what I was doing.
I have behringer UCA202 usb card, after plug to usb, it just works , I have only small problem with alsamixer, which still shows by default my integrated HDA Intel, I could switch it by F6 or by alsamixer -c 1no problem, but I expect that default card is now plugged "USB audio", so why alsamixer recognize default audio device as HDA intel and not a USB Audio ?anyone who has two or more sound cards with the same issue ?
I'm thinking of installing openSUSE-11.1 Gnome on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo 7400M laptop because the wireless in Gnome is much more user friendly than KDE3/KDE4 in openSUSE-11.1. The idea is to give this laptop to my 84-year old mother and things need to 'just work' for her (she currently has a desktop running openSUSE-11.1 KDE3 that uses a WIRED interface to the web).
I refuse to update this laptop to openSUSE-11.2 nor 11.3 (nor other recent distributions) because every kernel update after the 2.6.27 kernel has broken the Intel i855GM graphics drivers for that laptop. There are many bug reports and none have fixed the problem for this Fujitsu-Siemens implementation of the i855GM graphics.
Hence I am looking at Gnome.
I booted the laptop to a Gnome openSUSE-11.1 liveCD and wireless is easy and works great. But audio is very very VERY bad. It is incredibly user unfriendly and it does NOT work well. I assume that is because pulse audio in openSUSE-11.1 was very immature.
I note these updated packages in the openSUSE-11.1 update repository:
Code:
So my question is, did the updates to pulse audio (in the openSUSE-11.1 update repository) fix the pulse audio situation? Are there ANY helpful views on this?
Currently my wife is using this laptop with KDE-4.4.4 (and openSUSE-11.1) so I can't just install Gnome and play with it without taking the laptop away from her for a while (note the hard drive is too small for a dual boot of KDE/Gnome).
dell inspiron e1505 3.2 gb ram 1.86 ghz intel core duo ati x1400 gfx opensuse 11.4 kde 32 bit.
okay, here are the details: can't play any audio with amarok when desktop effects are enabled because the minute a window is moved, it will distort the audio. even when disabling desktop effects, some applications still cause this. can't play videos videos even with desktop effects disabled because of the same reason.
i just switched from ubuntu and when i ran version 11.04, i had to disable kms to do anything. i tried on opensuse 11.4 and the audio was flawless but the gfx went all to hell.
on my PC I have 2 sound drivers, one from the mainboard (AC97) and one PCI card (ES1969). Because the mainboard sound path did not recording, I installed the PCI sound card and with 11.1, I managed it to play and record all audio data. With 11.2 the PCI sound path plays the system sounds (suse start-up or shut-down sounds) but not the streaming audio data (skype, flash player). But these are played by the mainboard audio instead. The audio-tests from yast->hardware->sound work for both paths. How should I configure the system to redirect the audio streams to the desired (PCI) audio path? The PCI audio is set as primary sound card and is not muted.
I previously had my Virtual Box install of Ubuntu set to have the Network via "host-Only Adapter". But recently I needed to get on the internet on that install, so I changed it to "NAT" and restarted. It still cannot get on the internet! How can I fix this?
Some notes:
1. I have other virtual box installs that CAN get on the internet 2. This one was able to get on the internet prior to setting it to "host only adapter"
I'm not sure what I did if anything but I have not used my opensuse for several months. Now when I try to connect to the Internet I can not pull any websites. The wireless connection is active and connected. I am getting an IP address via dhcp. When I try and ping out (opensuse.org) I get unknown host. If I ping an IP address or type the IP in my browser it works fine. nslookup works but only if I specify the dns server.
Here is a copy of my troubleshooting commands.code...
Like for instance, if I have Ubuntu Lucid Lynx installed with XFCE, and it has an applications made for XFCE. will the applications also work on say some other distro like, Wolvix, that is an XFCE-based distro~????
What I am trying to say is: Do applications that are made for XFCE, work on ANY distro that has XFCE installed?
I have installed openSuSE 11.2 and my fingerprint reader have been detected on Hardware Information. But when I try to enable it on "Fingerprint Reader", it throws an error: Cannot write PAM settings as you can see on the following pic:
I'm trying to install workbench on my opensuse 11.2 x64 bit version but I got a problem with python available version on opensuse is 2.6.2 and the required version is 2.3.
Just reinstalled kde 11.3 on second hd. Everything seems to be okay except for getting additional repositories. Under yast I get the message unable to download list of repositories or no repositories defined. Any ideas on what I can check?
If I try to start gparted, sometimes it works fine, other times, it throws this error:
Code: Could not initialise connection to hald. Normally this means the HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready I have tried manually starting hal daemon,but nothing happens.
I click the music i would like to play and AMAROK loads up fine but when i click play nothing happens my speakers work fine as i can listen to music on ..... fine .
After running updates yesterday (Friday) now the Shutdown and Log Off buttons don't work in KDE. This happens with the taskbar buttons, and in the Leave menu. The only way out now is to ALT+F1 into a console, log in as root, and run shutdown. The system will shutdown at that point, but it's pretty inconvenient. I'm using the login manager that installs with KDE (can't remember the name) since Gnome was installed as a secondary desktop.
I'm wondering what I am missing. I have a logitec USB webcam with a mic. I use it for Team Speak, and Skype, so I know it works (I literally just placed a test call in skype to confirm...) I am trying to record a screen cast in OpenSUSE 11.3 and KDE4 with audio. Using any application that will do it.
I have tried gtkrecordmydesktop... but when I click on the "advanced" button to setup my audio... nothing happens... so I moved on. (it is supposed to present a window with options for setup... like sound source..)
I tried xvidcap, but I don't know what "device" to point the capture at. When I try to record from /dev/dsp (the default device) I get an error that says it cannot identify the file type. What "device" do I need to point to to get it to use my mic?
I have read about half a dozen forums about the issue, and many of them say that normally it is a mixer problem. I have systematically gone through my mixer item by item adjusting capture settings, mute, and volume levels on each item, then recorded to see if I got sound... and I got nothing. I know the device works, and I can get it to work in some programs (team speak, and skype), but How to I tell xvidcap to use it??? I found my device in the /dev list... it is /dev/snd/by-id/usb-046d_08c9_938E22B5-02 But when I point to that I get the same error.
I am not stuck on any one program to do this but I need to be able to record screen casts with synchronized audio in Linux. I am not afraid of the console or shell scripts... can anyone offer some suggestions... I have a working mic... I just need something that can use it.The best recommendation I've heard (so far) is running VNC and using camstudio in windows... but since my windows box is the same as my linux box... that is a bit difficult.... I really need a real linux solution.
