sound / KDE / CRUX 2.3
by Alexei Danchenkov 16 Apr '07

Can't get the sound going at all. I installed fresh CRUX 2.3, KDE with kdemultimedia package, esound, compiled Soundcard (Realtek ALC850 integrated in NVidia 6100) support in kernel, esound has started, still have a message popping up in KDE: Device: default can't be opened for playback (No such device). The same message does not appear, when logging as root, but still no sound. Sound support in kernel: $dmesg ... Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 1.01, 20:01:43 Apr 16 2007 Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14rc1 (Tue Jan 09 09:56:17 2007 UTC). ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LACI] enabled at IRQ 23 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:10.2[C] -> Link [LACI] -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:10.2 to 64 intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 56004 usecs intel8x0: clocking to 44803 ALSA device list: #0: Intel ICH with ALC850 at 0xfebdc000, irq 16 oprofile: using NMI interrupt. ...

wxpython
by Pawel Wielgus 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hi CRUXers, I tried to install wxpython from yhafri or hnc ports. They have two different versions, but in both cases I get the same error message. I'm not sure what does that mean and how to fix this. The printout is quite long, so temporarily I put it under http://www.mml.ch.pwr.wroc.pl/wielgus/error.log I upgraded from ports python and wxgtk : python 2.5-1 wxgtk 2.6.3-3 Don't laugh at me, but I'm still sitting on 2.0 box :) (just in case you would need this info :) Could anyone check this and point out what am I missing ? One more thing: I was just curious, and downloaded wxpython sources manually from Sourceforge. They compiled smoothly and without any errors. But so far I didn't try to install binaries, would be probably better to have them from ports. Take care, Pawel

Also the cd rom would be the > first disk if it's installed and you're using SATA. i have resolved the issue. it had to do with "VIA PATA" driver which was not enabled by default. i learnt that from Gentoo,the one i am using now. CRUX lacks documentation. i think documentation need to include some information on compiling the Linux kernel. as an example. how about telling this in documentation: - frame-buffer modules - enabling "udf" support and compiling "jfs" or "reiserfs" support as built in and why so. - using "ALSA" rather than OSS (deprecated) i know all these because it took me 7-8 installations from scratch before i finally installed Gentoo. Documentation did awesome help. > I love CRUX for the same reasons. I learn a lot and I find I have more > control over what's going on. I have been looking at Debian a bit > lately though because I need 64bit for my database server. i love the word "simplicity" and that ties very closely to the design of CRUX. i am using Gentoo now only because it has lots of documentation and earlier with CRUX 2.2, "prt-get" failed to handle dependencies, don't know why :-( -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/

CRUX 2.3 does not boot
by arnuld 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

i am using CRUX 2.3 i686 ISO. i have burned this onto the CD and whole installation process did not give me nay errors. GRUB installation went OK too. when i give it a reboot, after the new installation, it did not boot. i get this: kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 GRUB: Error 15: File not found i put in the CD, mounted the partitions and found "/boot/vmlinuz" was right *there*. so it was not missing. i checked the /etc/fstab, it looks like this: /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2 /dev/sda3 / reiserfs defaults 0 1 ........... .......... then i rebooted again and the same problem. i am using SATA on AMD64, so i tried the "root=/dev/sda3" too but it does not work. what is the problem ? [ during installation, i created the separate "boot" partition so i did do this in that order as advised by documentation: mount /dev/sda3 /mnt mkdir /mnt/boot mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot ] -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/
