<0> i am having some problems with lcdproc and my debian box - i installed lcdproc using "apt-get install lcdproc" - LCDd seams to work - but i cannot find lcdproc anywhere. what happend to the lcdproc client?
<1> is there an lcdproc-client in apt?
<0> nope
<2> good evening.
<3> good evening :)
<2> got hooked.
<3> hm ?
<2> the Jack Bauer thing.
<3> erm
<3> :)
<2> ;)
<4> :)
<5> debian finally has a full install cd now
<5> yay debian
<5> and debian is the shiznittle bomb shiznit
<5> i love it
<5> it is the be-all of-all the distros
<5> apt-get......I dont like how redhat kinda stole the whole idea and just named it yum
<5> apt-get is king
<5> yum comes out my bum and apt-get is king of the net
<6> HI my names keyra add me to your msn beefed@hotmail.com and check out my display pic , i love to play. seeya there.
<5> in debian how can I make my resolution really small, by default gnome is huge
<5> ?
<7> edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
<5> k
<5> thank you
<7> find the line that says "DefaultDepth 24" and look at the number. It's probably 24
<7> then, find the corresponding SubSection "Display"
<7> and add your desired mode first. So, mine reads Modes "800x600" "640x480"
<5> well my old one started with 1280x1024
<5> but i forget the other one
<5> what would make sense?
<5> and not crash it
<7> 1024x768 is the next smaller one
<7> either should be fine for you.
<5> ok
<5> i only have to type it in the first section right?
<5> not all the others?
<5> that would take a while
<7> just the section for your DefaultDepth
<7> unless you use other depths, which is unlikely
<7> when you are finished with your editing, do /etc/init.d/gdm restart
<7> I am presuming that you use gdm. If you use kdm, then put kdm instead of gdm.
<7> ok. Now, my turn. I have working sound on my mobo. The modules (I think -- I did "lsmod |grep sound") are nvsound and soundcore. I installed a nice soundcard (M-Audio Audiophile) on a Sarge box. I want to be able to switch back and forth between the sound card (connected to a stereo) and the mobo's sound output (connected to my headphones). After I install the soundcard's drivers with alsaconf, the soundcard is working.
<7> So, how do I turn off output to the soundcard and restore it to the mobo? I want to be able to switch between the two, but the only way I know how to right now is to halt the machine and remove the card!
<8> GiftdKook: does your system recognize both cards? dmesg
<7> well...
<7> as you can see, I have both working. I just can switch back and forth between them.
<7> Caligo, do you know how I can switch output between the devices?
<5> ah
<5> it is not working
<5> and its set to start in gui mode
<5> i put it in runlevel 3
<5> and still goes gui
<5> grrrrrr
<8> GiftdKook: you didnt answer my question so i guess i cannot help
<7> hunh? In my original question I stated that both outputs work. So, naturally, the system recognizes both.
<8> GiftdKook: i ofcourse meant simultaniously
<8> whilst your pci card is in, does your system still recognize both cards
<7> I will now check.
<7> well, I am not sure of what I am seeing with the pci card back in. dmesg |grep sound shows nvsound: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel. and lsmod |grep sound shows the modules nvsound and soundcore...
<7> but, output is to the pci card. Let me see if its drivers are installed...
<7> yes. It's drivers are also installed.
<8> thats good
<8> i would ***ume one way to handle this would be to make a script to unload/load the drivers
<8> so that you have one script that unloads the pci card and loads the mobo sound drivers
<8> and one that does it the other way around
<7> hrmm. the card has a lot of drivers. let me see.
<7> It looks like I would not have to unload the mobo drivers -- because the system ignores them.
<8> it would once you load them :)
<7> Why is it not possible to tell the system to ignore the pci card just as it ignores the mobo sound?
<8> when u wanna switch back to the pci
<8> GiftdKook: the system ignores the "seccond" card usually
<7> hunh. ok.
<7> I would think that the pci card is the second card.
<8> depends on several different factors
<8> but anyhow
<7> rmmod snd_ice1712
<7> ERROR: Module snd_ice1712 is in use
<7> now what?
<9> now what? now you go tell mommy you need a huggy wuggy!
<7> ok, one moment.
<8> GiftdKook: first off, shut down sound applications, then forcibly unload it
<8> (i have to add, there might be "smoother" ways to do this, but this is the only way i know of that ive tried)
<7> shucks. this is exactly what I was afraid of. :/
<8> whot?
<7> I am not using any audio devices.
<7> Something very easy in M$ being impossible in nix.
<7> or very difficult.
<8> thats why nix is so much fun :)
<8> makes a simple task as installing pointerdrivers a challenge ;)
<8> hehe
<7> I don't mind the challenge. I do mind having to turn off the box and remove the card to use my headphones.
<7> well, I can't seem to remove the pci card's drivers. Even rmmod -f doesn't work.
<8> is esd runnin?
<7> I don't know. I restarted the box.
<7> I will check. 3min.
<7> perhaps I can use a command line prefix to send audio to the mobo?
<8> well
<8> im not entirely sure
<10> OMG FRANCE BEAT BRAZIL
<8> in soccer?
<10> dude, shut up :)
<7> no. esd does not appear to be running.
<8> :)
<7> I still can't remove the module.\
<7> hrmm. /dev/dsp1 exists but /dev/dsp does not.
<7> hah HA! I think I have it. I removed the mobo's module and then replaced it. Now I have audio back on my headphones.
<7> Thanks for the module idea, Caligo.
<8> np
<8> glad it sort of helped :)
<7> hrmm. It looks like it works *once*. I can boot with the pci working, remove the nvsound and soundcore modules and modprobe nvsound -- then I have headphones. And I can use alsaconf to restore the pci card, but I can't remove the nvsound or soundcore modules again. :/
<8> hmm
<8> give it time :)
<8> i think it should work as soon as the drivers knows its not in use
<7> bah. I don't think the system will let go of them.
<11> Happy 4th
<5> tues is 4th
<5> anyway......I like the new all in one debian dvd
<5> not a hard config or setup at all
<5> apt-get .....gets you what YOU want, that does not come with the cd after the install
<5> finally they made it easier
<5> I do like the simplicity of it compared to the old method
