I have sound!
by John Woodard 06 Jul '99

06 Jul '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk At ALUG2 I was moaning about my difficulties with the Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live beta drivers in RH6. I'm really please to say that I have managed to get the damn thing to work. In the beta driver rename sblive.o-2.2.5 to sblive.o-2.2.5-15(or currently installed kernel version RH6 comes with 2.2.5-15) it's read only so you need to change the permissions (don't forget to change them back). In the install_sblive script change the line that reads `V2=2.2.5' to 'V2=2.2.5-15' (or what ever kernel version you are using). Run the amended install_sblive script with ./install_sblive. Modify the /etc/conf.modules file so it reads alias sound sblive pre-install sblive insmod soundcore post-remove sblive rmmod soundcore install sblive insmod -f sblive some of this will already be present from the install script. The line 'install sblive insmod -f sblive' forces the module to load even though its not the correct kernel version. I'm really pleased with myself, my first battle with Linux and I've come out on top. :-) Regards, BJ [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECT of "unsubscribe" to this list and "subscribe" to ] [ alug-announce(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Scanners in Linux
by John Woodard 01 Jul '99

01 Jul '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Has anybody had any experience with flatbed scanners in Linux My cheapo parallel port jobbie won't work in a real OS so I'm going to replace it with a nice shiny new one. I'm thinking about a scsi model, because I think I read somewhere that they are more likely to work in Linux. Any ideas on which scanners work in Linux or which to avoid and is there a Linux equivalent to TWAIN? I'm only looking for a low end A4 device for general photos and OCR stuff, not too expensive around 150.00 is my limit.

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk I think that there should be a change to the ol' About ALUG page...maybe the socialising bit should be emphasized ;-) [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECT of "unsubscribe" to this list and "subscribe" to ] [ alug-announce(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk A few shots are up at http://omnipotent.net/alug2/ Some of the pics are somewhat less than perfect due to my tinkering with the settings (the camera is < 1 week old so I need the practise) ;-) My thanks to the organisers for an interesting afternoon!

From memory there's barriers and a car park. > Any further directions please? Right... I'm anticipating being on campus quite early, so I'll try to tell the people on the barriers about the meeting, or you should just be able to drive straight into the main car park (barrier isn't often down on a Sunday). Sometime around 1, I'll attach penguins to the lamposts on the way out of the car park to direct you towards Union House and to the meeting room. So just follow the penguins. Or look at the directions on the ALUG site. -- MJR Stats Postgrad mailto:h089@mth.uea.ac.uk http://stats.mth.uea.ac.uk/ UEA Norwich UK mailto:markj@stu.uea.ac.uk http://www.stu.uea.ac.uk/ Improves CPU/video memory bandwidth by anything from 20 to 50%.

Further Help
by Daniel Smith 16 Jun '99

16 Jun '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Hello All again Thanks for the previous help, worked a treat. Sorry about the Dual, Duel or even Jewel mistake. Second request for help now. You may all recall I posted a message a few weeks ago about setting up a mail server for my company. If I bring a 'box' and modem along to the meeting on Sunday will anybody be able to spare the time to help me set one up? I will warn you all now, I don't really have a clue what I'm doing.

HELP!
by Daniel Smith 16 Jun '99

16 Jun '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Hello! I know that this is not the place to ask but HELP! With the impending meeting I thought I'd have a little play with Red Hat. OK I've got to confess I haven't 'played' with Linux for over two months now! I've been using, dare I say it Micro$haft Windoze 95. I had installed Red Hat from the PC Plus cover disk onto a third hard drive but some how I've lost the duel boot options, can anybody tell me how to create a boot floppy so I can get Linux back?
