I have my laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS connected via builtin wifi. I bought a USB bluetooth adaptor and reroute the audio to a bluetooth receiver for my computer speakers. But when I play...

I can create a digital audio file with the following command:

dd bs=1k if=/dev/audio > audiofile

I surmise that this is a raw file with no header. I can play it back by catting the file to...

Found the problem. The fuser command revealed that 3 processes called ogg123 were trying to play the startup.ogg file. Kill -9 on the first process freed up the audio device. I wonder why that...

That did it! The fuser command revealed that 3 processes called ogg123 were trying to play the startup.ogg file. Kill -9 on the first process freed up the audio device. I wonder why that ogg123...

Thanks for your reply.

The checkbox "enable sound system" was not checked, and when I check it, it says "can't initialize, /dev/dsp was busy, using /dev/null instead".

The question is, why is...

Please, I don't need that kind of answer. I spent weeks remastering knoppix3.4 to compactflash and I can't start over every time there is a new version out.

My version 3.4 will work, I just need...

I have a remastered compactflash version of knoppix 3.4

When I boot knoppix, my onboard soundcard (AC-97) is recognized and configured (using OSS, not ALSA). If I boot into single user mode, my...

smb:// in konqueror works great..thanks for the tips

In Linux (KDE), how can I discover other shares on the network, like you can under Windows with "My network places" in windows explorer?

<sigh> Its not a security hazard.

Why on earth would you open a file if you don't know what it is?

So are you saying stay out of KDE because its a security hazard also?

Anyways I figured...

why do you hope not?

In my Debian Linux, if you go to a bash prompt and type "picture.jpg", you get an error message. However in KDE, you can hit

Alt-F2 and type "picture.jpg" and KDE will launch the associated...

I've given up on getting my soundcard's MIDI ports working on any of my soundcards (midiman usb 1x1, and "soundblaster compatable" ESS1869, ALS-100, & yamaha ymf-724)

My impression is the most...

That worked fine, thank you!

The only thing is, now after a period of inactivity, my ssh connection goes inactive until I ping the ssh client from the server. It seems that pinging from the...

In slackware I know I can set my box to a specific IP (instead of requesting one via DHCP) by adding the IP to /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1

What is the corresponding way for a Debian box (which uses pump)...

I compiled some modules on Debian, so that I can learn which modules are necessary to get a soundcard's midi ports working on a Knoppix liveCD. Therefore recompiling the kernel is not an option...

I'm unable to insmod the modules sb_common.o and sb_ess.o (for my soundcard)

When insmod'ing sb_common.o, insmod reports (and I verified in the C source) unresolved symbol ess_dsp_reset which is...

Do usb hubs work well with linux?

I've found some cheap usb hubs (like the $10 Trendware TU-400E) but they only list compatibility with windows.

Sharing of any firsthand experience would be...

I want to enable MIDI in my knoppix liveCD, so I compiled some modules for my kernel.

Problem is I can't install them with modprobe because the /lib/modules directory is readonly, and I can't...

I'm seeking some kind of mail checker that will display an icon in my tray when I get an email. I have a pop3 account, but thought about switching email providers if I found a linux email monitor...

After almost an hour of googling, I think pcnet_cs.o MIGHT be the module needed for the FA410tx pcmcia card.

Isn't there an easier way to determine the right module, other than hoping to luck...

Thanks for your reply. What do I do to look up the module of my network card?

Running knoppix liveCD onto old gateway solo laptop (Pentium 166), my pmcia network card is not recognized (netgear FA410TX).

What can I try next to get the card working? Will I need to install...

This is knoppix liveCD, which defaults to OSS drivers... so apparently nobody has gotten knoppix to work with OSS drivers? Everything I've found so far talks about gettiing ALSA working which...
