Re: CD-Rom, sound

[Brian Ronk]

I actually figured out the cdrom issue.  I have no /dev/cdrom for some 
reason, but as it boots, the cdrom is found as /dev/hdb.  I added a new 
line to fstab that will mount hdb to the /cdrom directory.  A little 
crude, but very effective.
The kernel version I am running is 2.2.20.  I believe that's the 
standard for 3.0, but I may be wrong.
As for the modprobe command.  I ran it, modprobe sb, but got no output. 
 From what I know, that's probably a good thing, but I don't know how 
to get the sound stuff running from there.

The messages you see during boot are put in /var/log/dmesg.  View that
file to see what the kernel says about the cdrom device at boot.
What kernel are you using?  


As for the sound, it just doesn't work.  It could be that stuff didn't 
get installed for it, I'll check that to make sure.  If I do have the 
drivers and such installed for it, how do I configure it to make sure 
it's working correctly?


According the this website 
the Soundblaster modules should work.  Try doing a 'modprobe sb' as
root or sudo and see if it loads.  The try playing a sound.  Assuming
you're using a stock kernel, that module will be there.

Re: X crashes if I'm idle

[Doyle, Patrick]

I found this thread in the archives, and I am experiencing the same behavior
(on my Compaq Presario 2100 with a stock "woody" bf2.4 install).  I have
also seen that I cannot run KDE -- it simply crashes during startup.  From
everything I've read, I probably need to upgrade to Xfree86 4.3 in order to
make these problems go away, but I have some questions first.

1) In the short term (I need to get work done _today_ and can't spend the
day upgrading X), how can I turn off the screensaver?  I don't see any menu
items that refer to the screensaver; I don't see anything in my XF86Config
file that refers to DPMS (except the "Monitor" section that lists it as an
option), or to screen blank times, etc...; I don't have an "xscreensaver"
package installed.  I don't know where to start (obviously :-)

2) In the long term, is there a .deb package I can grab to perform the
upgrade to 4.3 more easily than downloading 12 different files from
xfree86.org?

TIA...

I don't use kde, but doesn't a right-click on the background bring up
anything useful?

Have you looked in backports?  I see 4.2 in

Sadly no, this is why I am so confused.  I just can't find the right knob to
turn to shut the darn thing off.  In the mean time, I have rerun the debian
configuration utility and told the X server not to use the frame buffer
interface, since the notes said that, sometimes things work better with that
off, and sometimes they work better with it on.  I am still waiting to see
what happens when/if the screensaver kicks in.  (And am using the computer
in the mean time, so I can't just wait for it, and don't know how to
configure it to change the timeout to something like 30 seconds, sigh...
It's hard being me :-)

Sorry for misreading your post.  You can't run kde; what are you
running?  By "screensaver", do you perhaps mean "screenblanker?"  Try
"setterm -blank 0"

kernel locale settings

[Michael Perry]

Hi all-

On my debian desktop this does not occur; but here on my laptop booting
either 2.6.2 or 2.6.3 I get a locale error message like this:

locale: cannot set lc_ctype to default locale: no such file or directory

I also see this for lc_messages and lc_all as the system boots. 

I went through looking at my desktop booting the same kernel and do not
see this particular error in my dmesg queue at all.  I still have 2.4.21
here and I have not booted that kernel in awhile.  The error comes up as
the system is booting; not when applications start.  My /etc/environment
is en_US and if I run locale I get a series of settings pointing at
en_US. I also checked to see what the console_data program is set to but
it seems okay as well.

Thanks for any tips on this one!

Unfortunately, I was not running KDE -- I couldn't get it to start.  Since I
sent out my email this morning, I edited my XF86Config-4 file and removed
the line that read:

Option "DPMS"

>From the "Monitor" section.  Just on a whim, I decided to see if KDE would
start -- and it did.  I haven't been able to leave the computer idle long
enough to see if KDE crashes when the screensaver kicks in, but I know how
to configure/disable it if the screensaver crashes.

So, I'm sorry I wasn't clearer in my original posting -- the screensaver
under GNOME was crashing, and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off, and
I couldn't get KDE to run.  In the mean time, it appears that not enabling
the "DPMS" option did the trick.  (Possibly in conjunction with turning off
the frame buffer option for the vesa driver, who knows?)

Thanks again for the tips...

Use the xset program to control DPMS at runtime:

$ xset
...
To control Energy Star (DPMS) features:
-dpms  Energy Star features off
+dpms  Energy Star features on
 dpms [standby [suspend [off]]] 
  force standby 
  force suspend 
  force off 
  (also implicitly enables DPMS features) 
  a timeout value of zero disables the mode 
...

Sorry for misreading your post.  You can't run kde; what are you
running?  By "screensaver", do you perhaps mean "screenblanker?"  Try
"setterm -blank 0"

Unfortunately, I was not running KDE -- I couldn't get it to start.  Since I
sent out my email this morning, I edited my XF86Config-4 file and removed
the line that read:

Option "DPMS"

>From the "Monitor" section.  Just on a whim, I decided to see if KDE would
start -- and it did.  I haven't been able to leave the computer idle long
enough to see if KDE crashes when the screensaver kicks in, but I know how
to configure/disable it if the screensaver crashes.

So, I'm sorry I wasn't clearer in my original posting -- the screensaver
under GNOME was crashing, and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off, and
I couldn't get KDE to run.  In the mean time, it appears that not enabling
the "DPMS" option did the trick.  (Possibly in conjunction with turning off
the frame buffer option for the vesa driver, who knows?)

Thanks again for the tips...
