The 4 speaker 'Environmental Audio' is fun (not really bothered if they ever get that bit working in Linux) but just the front signals injected into a half decent hifi system is nothing short of stunning!

Kernel install?
by John Woodard 02 Jul '99

02 Jul '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Sorry about all these newbie questions, I really ought to post them on uk.comp.os.linux, but it seems a little more personal asking you good people. After a few re-installs of RH6 after installing a new kernel I thought I'd ask where I was going wrong. This is what I've done so far: cd /usr/src<ENTER> "obvious what this does" mv linux linux.old<ENTER> "rename my old linux directory which is actually a symbolic link to a directory named linux-2.2.5-15?" tar xzf *path*/linux-2.2.10.tar.gz<ENTER> "recursively untar and ungzip a directory named linux under the current directory" cd linux<ENTER> "obvious" make config *or menuconfig/xconfig*<ENTER> "using the howto for guidance - sensible" make dep<ENTER> "dependancies?? - don't really understand this" make clean<ENTER> "cleans up the config file? - not sure" make bzImage<ENTER> "compiles a compressed binary image - I think?" make modules<ENTER> "not sure got this of a newsgroup" make modules_install<ENTER> "as above could be dangerous?" "this is where I start to get confused!" cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz<ENTER> "copy my new compressed binary image to the path in my lilo.conf which is another symbolic link to an image file named vmlinuz-2.2.5-15 don't know if this is significant?" lilo -v<ENTER> "run lilo in verbose mode to load it?" reboot *or shutdown -r now*<ENTER> "obvious" I now get errors on boot up telling me that bootmap?? or something similar points to the wrong kernal version and some other errors which I can't remember (not a great deal of help that I know :-} ) lots of red text though! My screen scrolls too quickly to pick up what these errors are is there a log file somewhere? Can any of you good folks confirm that my understanding of what is going on is either correct (unlikely), total crap (more likely) or go post this to alt.linux.newbies-come-here-to-be-ridiculed (highly likely). :-) 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%.
