Two Lenny problems
How would I find out if something else is wrong with the installation?
I've gone through the "Testing" section of your page to no avail.
Alsamixer on this machine does not have any settings for CD, FM, nor DSP.
It has IEC958 C,F,R; Analog C,F,R,S and Capture. I set them all for 100%
and unmuted IEC958. Still no sound out of any of the ports. I saw
nothing in the syslog about sound errors or failures, but I didn't see any
alsa starting. May have missed it. I installed the Gnome sounds,
rebooted, opened Preferences-Sound; selected System Sounds, clicked on
"Play"...no sound. I haven't configured Alsa for PCM software mixing as I
didn't get any sound after the Gnome configuration. Would it help? Oh,
yeah...the selection in "Default Mixer Tracks" is CA0106(Alsa mixer), if
it makes any difference.
FYI: I started computer life on a 10 MHz Intel 8088 IBM clone running DOS
3.xx on a 20MB HD; didn't start using Windows until someone gave me
Windows for Work Groups 3.11 and found it not to my liking and pretty much
stuck to the command line and separate programs until I got to the point
of having to run more than one program at a time and Windows 95 came
along. In between that a friend gave me an AT&T 386 machine with Unix on
it, but absolutely no instructions, so I was lost as to what to do with it
and ended up reformatting the HD and installing DOS. I don't like GUIs (I
prefer words and drop-down menus to icons) but do like the multiple
running programs (DesqView I did like). I would prefer an OS written in
Assembly language, no GUI, but multi-tasking capable. Linux seemed to fit
the bill except for being written in C, but I have not found any reference
that gave me the information I needed to run programs outside of X. I
loved Midnight Commander, but where is it now? I found it again in
Kubuntu 8.10 but that was the last time. I started using Linux with
Debian Potato and loved it, but never got a printer working nor the USB
modem I wanted to use, so I was stuck with Windows. The whole story is
too much for the list.
