I need ALSACONF but alsa-utils conflicts with udev!
So how can I configure my soundcard?
Or is it ok to uninstall the udev package? Thanks. (Debian testing on R50e ThinkPad) |

thanks, but hal depends on udev, and gnome-volume-manager depends on hal, and gnome-desktop-environment depends on it and so on...
I really want to keep gnome :) Is it a bug? |

No, not a bug. I had the same problem. Opened a topic a couple of days ago. The maintainer of alsa-utils said that he should have waited with putting this version in testing until the new udev was accepted in testing. I've got a solution though:
1 - Add the unstable repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list, like this Code:
#testing Code:
Package: * Code:
APT::Default-Release "testing"; 5 - Install udev from the unstable repository (this will also a couple of other packages from unstable). 'aptitude install -t unstable udev' 6 - Install alsa-utils from testing. 'aptitude install alsa-utils' With Pinning you can install packages from other repositories, but your default repository will be the testing repository. Good luck. |
thanks a lot!
"udev requires a kernel >= 2.6.12, upgrade aborted" lol.. I'm going to update the whole system to unstable. Still, it's a great tip, thanks. |
Or you could grab the alsa packages from stable. If you go all the way to unstable, you'll run into broken dependencies very soon again. And when unstable breaks, where are you going to upgrade to in order to fix things? Experimental? :p

Well, now that you can reach the unstable repository, you can also download the kernel source for 2.6.12 from unstable :D
'aptitude install -t unstable linux-source-2.6.12' The source will be installed in /usr/src. Untar it, configure it, build the new kernel and install the new kernel. Maybe you can even install a new precompiled kernel from unstable this way, I've never tried it, but you can give it a go :D Good luck!!! |
