I read on another thread that i can 'run' this 'script' somehow to add a preamp to kmix to raise the volume.
1. Is it correct?
2. How do i use it?

I finally bought marble blast gold. a very cool game. i was able to run it on my mac perfectly fine. but now when i install in on my ubuntu machine its not doing what its supposed to. i did a ./MarbleBlastGold 1.4.1.sh.bin after doing the sudo -i command. it installs just fine. but when i go to run the game, i cant find it in the menus. thats ok, i have commend line experience. so i cd to the install folder, and run a ./marbleblastgold, and this is the error i get. so what can i do, and what does this mean? good thing i bought it for all my computers. one copy of course.

If i put the scrollbar to the 0 position, it is muted. when i move it to anywhere else, i get the full volume. From other programs like vlc, i can adjust the volume with no problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Fedora 8 system that uses LVM on one of it's drives (/dev/sdb2). One of the logical volumes is getting full (LogVol02). There is an unused, unmounted logical volume (LogVol03) available. I can see two possible options.
1) Mount the unused logical volume (LogVol03) on a new mount point (/home2) and create more space there
2) Delete the LogVol03 logical volume and extend the nearly full volume (LogVol02) into the now available space.
Option 2 seems like the better approach, since it will seem seamless to the system users. I'm looking for suggestions on how I should go about doing this and what I need to look out for. Is it better to use the command line tools (lvm ...) or the GUI (system-config-lvm) to do this?
I recently purchased an external USB audio card [URL] All worked fine except the volume that comes out is BLASTING, and changing the master volume does nothing. Individual applications let me change their volume, but this is extremely anoying and often leads to me accidently blasting the room.

I installed Slackware quite awhile ago now, and am starting to wish that I'd done a full install instead of cherry-picking my packages. Is there any way I can do it retroactively... you know, just add all the stuff I didn't install? I'm running -current.
View 15 Replies View Relatedi am in the process of setting up my wonderful slackware system on my laptop, and now i would like to make sure i am able to run as much multimedia as possible (to be up to snuff in this realm with mac and windows users). i am running slackware x86_64 version 13.0 with a full install (but only with the software sets a, ap, d, f, k, kde, l, n, x, xap, y) and have installed flash-player-plugin from slackbuilds.org.
recently i stumbled upon this website: [url] it explains precisely what i would like to know: which packages should i install to get a fully-featured multimedia slackware install (and in which order should i build/install these packages to take care of dependencies). i emailed the author to make sure this guide was up to date with slackware 13, but, sadly, it is not. it seems that mr. anderson uses slackware 12.2, and thus there may be inconsistencies between what this guide explains and what works on the newest slackware. for example, mplayerplug-in has been depreciated in favor of gecko-mediaplayer. i need to know if more of this has happened. i would simply test it myself, but i have been distro-hopping reinstalling repeatedly over the past few weeks for various reasons, and i am trying to avoid dirtying up my system too much and having to reinstall yet again.
so i ask of you, does mr. anderson's list apply to slackware 13.0, or are there any changes that need to be made? i ask because someone here may have already used this guide and may be willing to share their knowledge and experience on it. eric's vlc slackbuild is very interesting, and i plan to run that, so vlc and its dependencies are covered. my multimedia needs are not too demanding, but i do expect web media to work flawlessly. i often visit www.apple.com and watch movie trailers, guided tours, etc., so i need quicktime videos on the web to work. videos and online flash games already work fine with flash-player-plugin. i also visit some web sites that have windows media formats being streamed (.wmv and .wma).
I've installed 13.1 and the new GSB. I like it a lot (better than old versions), but the volume applet doesn't work.I did some reading and apparently this is due to a conflict between the GNOME people and the Pulse Audio people. So I was wondering if it was at all possible to use the xfce volume applet.
View 10 Replies View RelatedNewbie slackware user here, I'm having some issues getting keyboard volume control to work properly.I recently fixed my network adapter problem and I managed to get flash player installed despite my minimal knowledge of linux and slackware, but there's yet another small glitch that I can't fix.When I'm logged in as root, keyboard volume controls work perfectly, mute mutes the audio + increases the percentage, - decreases the percentage, etc.However, when I'm logged in as another user and I try to use keyboard volume controls, the bar will pop up in the middle of the screen, but it will be stuck at 0% no matter that I do. (Sound still plays though, it seems that volume is at 100% while the bar in the middle reads 0%).

Linux 13.0 worked OK right out of the "box" so I don't understand why this version has this problem. Was something changed from 13.0 to 13.1?
I am using Slackware 13.0 quite out of the box, normally I can change volume for every app using alsamixer. As my laptop is a little bit old working in X uses a lot of resources I have been searching for more and more console based apps. With good results until now.
I started using mp3blaster to listen to music. Great app and all. Only problem I have got is that I have difficulty controlling the volume for it. When in alsamixer I can mute the master channel an control Pcm in small increments so that I can speak about control. When using mp3blaster I have got no control whatsoever. Cant mute the vol channel nor can I control the Pcm2 channel in any way.
My questions are: How do I control the volume in mp3blaster? Why do I have Pcm2 instead of Pcm in mp3blaster? What other info would be needed for anyone to push me in the right direction to solve this problem?
I have a problem with my sound. I can't really increase the volume of the sound. I already looked in alsamixer and everything is maximized. With the same headphones in Windows, I can achieve great sound volume. Does someone know why the sound is too low? I started alsaconf and created a new configuration. After that run aumix. Now I have the volume I wanted.

I have been following Alien Bob's README_CRYPT.TXT on the install disk and playing around with LUKS and LVM as highlighted in the section Combining LUKS and LVM. I got this working following the examples in the readme however I now wish to add another volume to the volume group. I have got this working and extended the group with an encrypted volume so it's now bigger. I want the two included physical volumes in the volume group (which are both encrypted) to be opened on bootup.
As it is now I am prompted for a password for the first physical volume (the passwords are set to be the same) and that opens and boots the volume. It has a problem with the second PV I have added and doesn't open this. There are errors on boot up about this and pvdisplay give this:
Code:

As you can see, the first command gives numbers like C841-0655. But for the optical disks (iso9660) it gives them not. Neither does the second one. This number is known as 'Volume serial number' in MS-DOS, and is printed on console with the command 'dir' not only for the HDD partitions but for the optical disks too. how to get an optical disk Volume serial number? Notice that this number is inherent to the media (is a property of the media, under any O.S.).

I'm currently viewing all my video and DVD stuff on two different desktops (CentOS and Kubuntu), each with a combination of MPlayer and VLC. Now I'm considering doing everything only with an "MPlayer-on-steroids" build for Slackware 13.37. Basically, I like the one-app-per-task approach. But first things first.
1) I'm basically using this script here as a starting point for my build: [URL]
What libs (from slackbuilds.org) would be reasonable to include before the build to support playback of the most common - and the odd exotic - video formats? The thing with MPlayer is that ./configure --help spits out a gazillion of options
2) Until now I've only used the no-GUI version of MPlayer, since the default interface seems to me almost unusable. Now I understand there are several new frontends available for MPlayer. Is there one that works OK for DVD playback, e. g. enables you to select chapters, languages and subtitles without having to jump through burning loops?
I made a full install of Slackware and have been using one of my boxes as an Apache web server. I recently tried to install Joomla, the PHP CMS software, and when I ran the pre-install requisite checker (The second step of the installation), the installer notified me that I do not have MySQL support. I find this especially strange as I've made webpages using PHP that made use of MySQL databases.
My pre-post research has lead me to several other people with the same problem. Half were using windows, and just had not uncommented the "extension mysql.so" line in the php.ini file. The other half solved their problem by installing their distro's php-mysql module. According to what I'd read, you can still use MySQL if you don't have that module installed, but Joomla does need it to be able to use the MySQL database.
I've searched long and hard for this plugin/add-on/module for Slackware, but to no avail. It's available in RPM format, and I know that it's possible to use rpm2tgz to convert these files, but I don't know exactly what the issue is, and if Slackware may be different. I don't want to install that and then find out that it overwrote something that I'd needed.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've just switched to slackware from opensuse (and before ubuntu) for few days. Everything is ok , no, is awesome when I was doing my job on run level 3. However, I found there was no sound when I booted it to run level 4 (xfce) trying to play some music on yesterday. After googled a lot, I thought there must be some wrong with my alsa driver, because I couldn't adjust the PCM volume from either alsamixer or amixer. In fact, there is even no PCM section in it, but two sections named "IEC958" and "IEC958 D" instead with no "pvolume" capability. Here is some outputs:

I have been trying out the new Slackware 13.37 and I have found that KDE will crash anytime I am watching a full screen video with Firefox 4 and attempt to adjust the audio levels using the keyboard buttons. If I use the mouse to adjust the audio level through the audio mixer gui, it seems to work fine. Both of my laptops ( a Gateway MP6954 and a Dell Inspiron 1520) are exhibiting this same problem. Both have the Adobe Flash Player version 10.2.159.1 installed.
