Dear friends: Just downloaded and installed LM 8.1 (clean, fresh install).
I have so far had only one problem that mystifies me: sound. I had no problem whatsoever having LM 8.1 detect and configure my new SB16 ISA card. I was able to hear both Linus' voice and the midi sample just like always. When I installed and configured RealPlayer 8, I heard the usual Welcome greeting. But, for some reason, ever since when I try to play RealPlayer I get an error message saying that "some other application might be using my sound card". Well, I went into KDE's Control Center and turned off all sound to avoid conflict. Still, no sound. So I went back to "sndconfig" (which I always do in the console, NOT in KDE), and tried to reconfigure my sound card. I get an error message every time that says: "cannot find /dev/audio". Totally mystified. By the way, what is /dev/shm, please. Have never seen it before: Here it is under df: [sher@Mindspring sher]$ df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 3606476 1194228 2412248 34% / /dev/hda1 72252 34796 37456 49% /boot none 256688 0 256688 0% /dev/shm [sher@Mindspring sher]$ Thanks so much. Benjamin
