I don't think that you need to have /proc/asound/sndstat. I have a VIA
VT82C686 AC97 audio controller (which uses the same driver module as
your card) and it works without /proc/asound/sndstat existing.

All the information that you posted suggests that your card is properly
recognized and should work. How did you test the card? The easiest thing
is to run "speaker-test" from the command line and watch for error
messages.

If you do not get any error messages but you still do not hear any
sound, then you have to check the volume settings. Run "alsamixer" and
make sure that the channels "Master", "Master M" and "PCM" are unmuted
(no "MM" visible; you can toggle this with the "m" key). Try to turn up
the volume with the cursor keys (left/right to select a channel and
up/down to change its volume) and see if that helps. (Press ESC to exit
alsamixer.)

You seem to have a different problem than the originator of this thread.
It looks like the drivers for your sound card have not been loaded. This
can have a number of reasons. To help you further, we need to know which
version of Debian you are using and the exact model of your sound card. 

Please post the output of the following two commands:

cat /etc/issue

Missing C-States on Core Duo

[Frank Ursel]

Hello.

On my laptop [1] shows a maximum of 8 c-states. But only 3 are in use.
Where are the others gone? The output of dmesg[2] shows only three of
them, too. The max_cstate reports 8 so whats wrong with my system? As
far as I know, there should be at least a C4-state. Is there any
parameter, I need to pass through the kernel or is it a damn limitation
of my system or what else went wrong? The laptop is a Fujitsu-Siemens
S7110 and I'm using a brand new Etch.

Thanks,
Frank

Stupid question: How to "modprobe -r usbcore"? It says that the module is
in use and modprobe fails. It is the only module remaining with:

#lsmod | grep usb
usbcore   112644  1

> Damn USB.

Sounds like USB together with lower C-states is impossible? Odd.

USB modules may prevent processor to go to some C-states, but will not
hide them.

FWIW, here, it's
active state:C2
max_cstate:  C8
bus master activity: c8444672
states:
C1:  type[C1] promotion[C2] demotion[--] latency[000]

   *C2:  type[C2] promotion[--] demotion[C1] latency[001] 
usage[01848151] duration[019686907116]

max_cstate is also C8, but I only have 2 C-states when on AC power, and
2 more C-states show up when on battery. I don't think you have to
worry.

debian newbie questions

[Kevin Kempter]

Hi List;

I'm a debian newbie with a few questions. I'm going to try running debian on 
my IBM thinkpad laptop (Z60m).



1) It looks like debian sarge is running the 2.4 kernel, did I miss something? 
If this is correct can I easily upgrade to a 2.6 kernel?

2) can I also easily upgrade to the latest stable version of KDE?

3) when running debian on a laptop, is the ipw2200 package/code for wireless 
devices available for debian as a package?

4) whats the best way to keep my debian install up to date?

5) how well does debian support ATI cards?

6) how can I setup a dual head install?

7) is anyone running transgaming cedega and/or vmware on a debian install?

Thanks in advance...

There is no error message.  But the test did not stop

Yes, the "Master", "Master M" and "PCM" are unmuted. 
But when I use XMMS to play the music, or want to make
Gnome play system sound, there is only elctrical noise
 Is this noise problem associate with Gnome?  Is there
some Gnome tools to configure sound card?  I can find
the network card configuration tools
(Desktop->Administration->Networking), it is easy to
use.  Maybe there is similar tools for sound card.  If
yes, which package I should install? 

By the way, the sound card works well in Windows XP.

Thanks,
Long

Re: debian newbie questions

[Laudin Alessandro Molina T]

Hi List;



Hi!



1) It looks like debian sarge is running the 2.4 kernel, did I miss something? 
If this is correct can I easily upgrade to a 2.6 kernel?




  The installer install the 2.4 kernel by default, if you want to 
install the 2.6 kernel you have to pass the parameter "linux26" to the 
installer. I recomend install etch, its comes with 2.6 kernel by default




2) can I also easily upgrade to the latest stable version of KDE?



  aptitude update
  aptitude dist-upgrade

  Whit that you upgrade all your system to the last packages on sarge!

3) when running debian on a laptop, is the ipw2200 package/code for wireless 
devices available for debian as a package?




  I'm not sure, but in Etch there are several packages for ipw2200 
(depends of the kernel you're running)



4) whats the best way to keep my debian install up to date?



  aptitude update
  aptitude dist-upgrade

2.4 is the default, but you can start the installation process with a
special boot parameter with 2.6. But beware that the latest kernel in
sarge is 2.6.8, so this might not be exactly what you want.

Theoretically, you can still grab the latest-and-greatest linux kernel
from kernel.org, compile it using the tools from the package
'kernel-package' and run it without any problems. But with sarge there
/are/ problems related to changes to udev (which detects hardware and
creates device nodes and a lot more).

> 2) can I also easily upgrade to the latest stable version of KDE?

No, since a stable Debian release only contains package in their
versions when it has become stable. You can only upgrade to newer KDE by
upgrading to a new stable version (not ready yet) or if you upgrade to
testing or unstable. That said, if your laptop is fairly new, you might
be better off instaling testing ("etch") right away. It is not very far
from stable anyway. But there's no rush. If you have sarge running, you
can upgrade to etch at any time.

> 3) when running debian on a laptop, is the ipw2200 package/code for wireless 
> devices available for debian as a package?

I think so. The command you need to answer such questions is 'apt-cache
search ipw2200'. I do not have stable in my /etc/apt/sources.list, so I
do not get the results you need. Another option is to search on
packages.debian.org, but I am too lazy for that. :)

> 4) whats the best way to keep my debian install up to date?

Use aptitude (nowadays preferred), apt-get or synaptic (GUI). I propose
to use aptitude from day one, since using apt-get in the first place and
then switching to aptitude takes some fiddling in most cases.

> 5) how well does debian support ATI cards?

As well as any other linux distribution: AFAIK (never used an ATI card)
it is a pain in the *ss.

> 6) how can I setup a dual head install?

The keyword for web searches in "Xinerama", but apart from that I cannot
help here.

> 7) is anyone running transgaming cedega and/or vmware on a debian install?

I know that Vmware should be no problem, but I have no first-hand
experience with that.

Re: Broadcom Wireless & Etch on HP Compaq nx6325

[David Navas]

I had the same problem and it is solved.

Just install the fwcutter, do an apt-cache search bcm43xx and then
apt-get install with the correct name. Didn't work fine if you install
them through aptitude, I believe there is not really uncompressed in the
right place.

Then your card will detect correctly the firmware and will work fine if
you select all the options related to wireless in the kernel and the
bcm43xx as module.

I am using the last stable kernel, 2.6.19.2

Take care.

You can install 2.6 directly (as previously said) with the "linux26"
boot parameter, but I recommend to install Etch instead if you didn't do
the installation already. In that case I suggest you install the
kernel-image-2.6.8-3-386 package (assuming you are using an x86
architecture).

Not exactly, see reply from Jochen Schultz[1]

ipw2200 modules are available:
- - only starting from Etch (current testing) and are in the contrib
section of the archive which means you have to have a line similar to
this one in /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://www.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free


> 4) whats the best way to keep my debian install up to date?

aptitude update && aptitude upgrade

If you are running Sarge(stable) and you prefer graphical tools, you
might want to install synaptic (note this is a gtk package,
unfortunately there no qt/kde frontends for apt in sarge)

aptitude update && aptitude install synaptic


If you are running Etch (testing), I recommend installing update-manager.

aptitude update && aptitude install update-manager

> 5) how well does debian support ATI cards?

Depends on the card, if you want the free drivers or the propritary ones
and what you are running, Sarge or Etch.

Usually 3D acceleration doesn't work.

If you have an older card the free drivers usually work accelerated in
2D. If you have a newer card there are more possibilities, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon and links there for information
about support.

> 6) how can I setup a dual head install?

Not sure how you can do that with the free drivers.

Follow other people's advices :-) .



With proprietary drivers you can generate a configuration file with

aticonfig --initial=dual-head

See more information with aticonfig --help


> 7) is anyone running transgaming cedega and/or vmware on a debian install?

I use and recommend qemu instead of vmware. Is a free virtual machine
emulator.

I had cedega installed at some point in the past on another computer,
but I don't know the current state.
I know people using vmware on a daily basis with Debian, so it shouldn't
be a problem.

Thanks. On my system there is no difference between AC or battery. Every
time three C-states show up. As I found out, I'm not the only one how is
curios about the missing states and somewhere I read that it is the
vendors choice of how many C-states are reported and supported on an
laptop. So, lets wait and see. :-)

"Playback open error:No Such Device"

You seem to have a different problem than the originator of this thread.
It looks like the drivers for your sound card have not been loaded. This
can have a number of reasons. To help you further, we need to know which
version of Debian you are using and the exact model of your sound card.

Please post the output of the following two commands:

cat /etc/issue
lspci | egrep -i 'audio|multimedia'


My system is Debian Sarge 3.1 r4 on the Samsung X11,
and the command 'lspci | egrep -i 'audio|multimedia'
didn't show any thing.
My sound card is called High Definition Audio Codec AD1986A.
It's like that I haven't install any sound driver,isn't ?
but I see the Alsa package is installed in my system.

i bet 8mb are lost because auf AGP, the agpgart driver in linux by default
grabs 8mb of memory.


I were wondering why video drivers would grab memory outside of the
allready existing 32 mb vram that there on the vedeo card.  My 600E
did'nt have any missing physical memory even though it had only 2mb
vram.  anything... thank you.
