Debian unlike other distros like Ubuntu does not come with sudo enabled by default. That said it is easy enough to set it up.

How to setup sudo:

1) Use visudo to edit your sudoers file
2) Add your user to the sudo group

Code:

adduser foo sudo

3) Or you can use gksu, or kdesu on KDE.

Or you can follow the simple steps here:

audio with tv tuner card

Posted 09-19-2012 at 07:12 PM by ted_chou12

I recently got audio with tv card, first must connect a physical wire (red,white,black) from the video tuner card to the mother board or your sound card, then do

Code:

modprobe snd-bt87x load_all=1
sox -t alsa hw:1,1 -t alsa hw:0,0

And you should be able to hear the sound as you change through the channels, (if still not, dont forget to max the pcm volume in your mixer options)

Code:

alsamixer

Thanks,
Ted

A decade or more ago, I bought a little digital camera at Walmart for $20, a Sakar Gear To Go Digital Still Camera. To see the pictures you had to run some sort of proprietary software, apparently on a Windows computer. I could never get it to work, and my old Windows 95 machine didn't even have a USB port. Even my first linux computers couldn't do anything with it. The OS didn't even recognize it as a USB device. But yesterday, fresh from a successful OS upgrade, and on a whim, I plugged it into...

I made this utility along with binfind. It also has had lots of improvements since then.

This script can be used to search files contained in library files (*.so, *.la, *.a, etc.) based from keywords provided. Along with a custom list of default paths, it will search for libraries inside directories that are specified in /etc/ld.so.conf. It would also examine files that are specified by the "include" directive in it.
