indeed, I have fiddled with everything in alsamixer with no avail... my problem might have something to do with the jack-sensing capability (it switches depending on what's plugged in).

Hi, I am runnin Slamd64 on my a8n-e/athlon64-3000+ mobo. With the versions of ALSA it came with (1.0.9) and the drivers for my onboard 8-channel realtek alc850, i get sound out of the front and rear...

[SOLVED]

solution: killall -9 kdeinit (note: i am running E, not kde)

i simply killed kdeinit and kmail, konqueror, and k3b all work now.

i can't seem to get konqueror or k3b to work either. they give the message: "Culd not start process. Can't talk to klauncher." Konsole works just fine.

this just happened after i disassembled my computer in order to do some modding and hiding of the wires... i started up my computer and it booted pretty slow like it does every now and then (possibly...

and 'cron'... as in 'chronic' aka marijuana.

i just have to post this...

$ DATE=`date +%F`
$ import -window root ~/screenshots/$DATE.png

I was thinking of setting up a script that would take a screenshot of the entire screen (using 'import') and naming the picture as the current date (using 'date +%F'). how would i go about doing...

the reason why i am looking for a workaround is because i've posted on JL twice in the past about my disconnection/cutout problems and i couldn't find a way to fix it. i know for sure that it has...

note: i wasn't sure if this should go in hardware or programming, so i put it here.

hi, i've posted on JL before about my internet disconnection problems:

okay, you've prbably heard this several times... but what is the best software to copy a dvd in linux? with k3b (which works perfectly for cds) i get the error "Writer does not support double layer...

i was thinking of buying a new mobo, cpu, and video card:

mobo: Abit IC7-G Max2 i875P
cpu: Intel P4-2.8CGhz/800
vid: ATI Radeon 9800Pro All-in-Wonder 128MB

the cpu should be compatible. and...

i have a .bin file... pirated copy of spiderman 2, in fact, and i would like to either extract the movie file from the .bin file (.dat i think) or somehow get it converted into mpg or avi. in...

sorry, but that wasn't much help. About all I found out was that I am supposed to use the "sis" driver, and it's supposed to give me acceleration. Just how much acceleration is one supposed to...

It seems that in Slack, 'ifdown' and 'ifup' aren't the correct commands to use, as they are "Commands not found". Just yesterday, my connection stopped, and I replugged the cable, and it came back...

I have asked about his before... a year ago or so. I have an L7SOM mobo with an onboard SiS740 AGP video card. While configuring kernel 2.6.6 for compilation, I noticed that there was an option for...

1. I will most likely recompile/reinstall kernel 2.6.6
2. I do not usually update/add libraries, I use my system for internet, music, msn, and some basic C++ fun
3. With my router out of the way,...

good idea... although, connected to my router are: my brother's computer (he's always downloading from Bottler), my mom's computer (some kazaa lite) and mine... but i'll see what i can do.

I have tried other cards. I've tried my onboard Realtek 8139 (or something like that), an AcerLAN card (old school), and 3 other cards (EZcard TooFast... blah). The AcerLAN one is in right now......

Just in case you were wondering... when my system starts up, I see the message for DHCP_TIMEOUT. I am quite sure that this is not the problem because the value for DHCP_TIMEOUT is: 4294967295........

I've had this problem before, and I posted on JL before, but the problem went away kinda for a while... but now it's back.

When I boot Linux (Slackware 9.1), I get the reassuring messages of "DHCP...
