Re: Instalation problem Debian, Fedora Windows
It shouldn't matter that Fedora and Windows are already installed, so long as your Debian installation didn't overwrite either. You'll just have to add the Fedora entry to your /boot/grub/menu.lst file. You'll probably have to do this manually, with a text editor, but give the update-grub script a chance, then check your menu.lst file to see if update-grub changed anything. If update-grub worked, great. If not, have no fear. To find out the partitions on your hard drives, execute (as root) fdisk -l This will tell you the partition structure of your disk(s). From here, you simply add the appropriate lines to grub: title Fedora Core 4 /* x is the hard drive of Fedora's /boot, y is the partition number of /boot (starting from zero). For example, if Fedora's /boot directory is located on hda1, then the corresponding line is root (hd0,0). If Fedora's boot is on /dev/hdc3, then you need root (hd2,2). */ root (hdx,y) kernel root= ro initrd Miguel Alvarez Ramirez a écrit : > >> Hi. >> I have now Windows Xp and Fedora Core4 installed in my computer.

Re: Calling on Toshiba users
Great! I'll give this a try with my Satellite 2435XCDT. My new Toshiba laptop is Phoenix BIOS-based, so no love yet with it yet. Roberto C.

Re: No sound in xmms, on Dell Latitude D400, with Debian sarge r1.
Hi Amarendra, Did you choose the 2.4 or 2.6 series kernel when installing Sarge? With the 2.6 series kernel, ALSA comes along for the ride. Since you're using Totem, I'm guessing that you're using GNOME as well, right? If not, what desktop system are you using (KDE or basic window manager)? A couple of things to try (assuming you're using GNOME): 1) run alsaconf from a terminal as root. 2) In GNOME's "Sound" preferences, are you starting the sound server or not? Try both ways. 3) Make sure that your multimedia settings in GNOME's preferences menu and your XMMS settings line up with one another. --John Amarendra Godbole wrote: Hi, I tried playing a song using xmms, but no sound seems to come from the notebook. It is a Dell Latitude D400, with Debian sarge r1. The i810_audio module (for AC'97 audio controller) is loaded, and xmms is using the OSS driver 1.2.10 as the output plugin. I tried changing it to ALSA 1.2.10, but it did not work. Surprisingly, while I used the Totem player to play a DVD, the sound was fine (could not run Totem to play a song though, it ``quits unexpectedly"). The dmesg tells me: --8<-- i810_audio: Primary codec has ID 0 i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels. i810_audio: Defaulting to base 2 channel mode. i810_audio: Resetting connection 0 i810_audio: Connection 0 with codec id 0 i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 supports AMAP, total channels = 2 --8<-- lspci -vv tells me: --8<-- :00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell: Unknown device 0139 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium TAbort- SERR- Latency: 0 Interrupt: pin B routed to IRQ 7 Region 0: I/O ports at d800 [size=256] Region 1: I/O ports at dc40 [size=64] Region 2: Memory at faeff800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] Region 3: Memory at faeff400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=375mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- --8<-- ANY pointers to enable the sound through xmms would be appreciated.

Re: Install problem - Toshiba atellite 335CDT
Hi Joe, The yenta_socket modules are for CardBus laptops, which I'm pretty sure yours predates (my 420 CDT is too old for CardBus). I'm not 100% fluent with the kernel boot options, but if there's a 'no pcmcia' option, you might give that a try. You might also try the expert24 or expert26 boot modes and see if you can do without the yenta_socket module. It shouldn't be necessary for installation. Good luck, and let us know how you make out!

Re: Cant install Sarge on my new laptop
Hi Zouari, I've run into a similar problem when installing in expert26 mode (I used the full-CD install, though). Have you tried ignoring the errors and seeing if they come up again? Try installing in spite of the errors. If that doesn't work, I see no reason why you should switch to the 2.4 series kernel. What about the linux26 boot option? Are you able to install with it? --John Zouari Fourat wrote: >am trying to install debian sarge 3.1r1 (netinstall, expert26 at boot) >on my new Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop and it wont install, telling >me : > >Linux kernel modules needed to drive some of your hardware are not >available yet.

Re: very poor performance of DVD using vesa or fglrx-driver
Is the DVD drive running in DMA mode? Almost certainly is, but worth a quick check of dmesg. --John B Thomas wrote: > Hi, > > On my Dell Insprion 9400 (1.83 Ghz dual core with 256Mb ATI Radeon > x1400) DVD playing is much slower (choppy infact) as compared to > my ancient 900 Mhz Athlong with RIVA TNT !. > This problem occurs wether I use the XFree86 Vesa driver or > the Proprietary ATI fglrx-driver.
