hi, im back guys ! lol
issues issues 1.soundcard - when i boot my comp i have to go to soundcard detection in system tools for my soundcard to work and hence play xmms mp3. please tell me how i can set it so it automatically knows the soundcard and doesnt have to be done at every boot 2.FAT32 - i have a formatted 12 GB FAT32 drive thats on the same hdd as my linux partition and i want it to recognize it.. i have tried all the methods but it just gives me the error: fs not there, bad option, superblock on Hda7, or just too many filesystems. i created a folder in /mnt/ called "mediadisk" to house and i ran through the line i made in fstab more than thrice. Fedora Core 3 btw Linux Kernel 2.6.9-1.667 thanks for all the help.. much appreciated JJ |
Are you sure the partition is correct, and properly formatted?
Also, in the future, please use a more descriptive topic. Thanks. |
I use a line like this in my /etc/fstab
Code:
/dev/hda10 /vfatshare vfat umask=000,users,noauto,owner,rw,sync,dirsync 0 0 |
sorry about the topic name.. im just desperate for some sort of help.. i wish i could change it.. darn..
thanks for the help ima try the method brian1 mentioned |
yayyy brian1's thing helped i fixed the FAT32 thing.. now its readable and writeable (if there is a word)
the soundcard thing is weird. i set it to detect and it detects it and everything.. but every time i reboot i have to go again and detect it.. please tell me how i can permanently mount it or something.. thanks guys |
This is one of the major bugs in FC3 release. Its been discuss many times here and every other fourm and newsgroup around. This is the most common fix ther are are a few others. Open a terminal and type su. Enter root password. Run ' alsamixer '. Change the volumes the way you need it. If a ' mm ' is above the bar it is muted to unmute hit the ' m ' key. Usually all that is needed is Master Volume and PCM. Hit 'esc' key to exit. Now type ' alsactl store '. This saves the volume levels so when you restart it reloads these values.
Brian1 Google the Linux way at ' http://www.google.com/linux ' |
alsactl store doesnt work :-\
sorry thanks JJ |
[root@localhost minimumturbulence]# alsamixer
[root@localhost minimumturbulence]# alsactl store bash: alsactl: command not found it doesnt read that command.. i dunno if i have the thing written wrong or something .. this is crazy.. thanks JJ |
Did you "su" or "su -"? Without the dash, su doesn't (by default) give you root's path, so alsactl won't be in your path.
|
I forgot about that use ' su - ' instead of ' su '. su - will use root's PATH's. I have /sbin in my regular user PATH so I missed pointing that out. After setting the mixer levels did you have sound?

yea both the sound and the FAT32 issues have been solved
thanks a lot guys one other thing came up tho.. i updated the system usring yum and i guess this installed a new update to the kernel... so i install the new kernel and reboot the comp.. there is a new entry which automatically set itself as the default in the GRUB bootloader called kernel.. blah 1.14-FC3. im in windows right now so i cant tell exact details.. if you need them let me know ill get them pronto.. and so i select the new entry to load. everything loads fine but there is no connection to the internet whatsoever. so i reboot and check again.. same problem. then i try my original linux entry in the bootloader and the internet doesnt work there either. i tried the network controller thing with activating and deactivating it.. didnt work can someone tell me how to fix this? please dont hate me.. im trying lol thanks JJ |
To start with, could you post the output of "dmesg | grep eth" and "ifconfig"? You will need to be root to run ifconfig. These will give us a place to start. FWIW, dmesg is the command that dumps to the screen the log file of all of the stuff that scrolls by when you boot into linux. Ifconfig is the command used to configure network interfaces. When you use it with no switches, it just dumps the current configuration to the screen. Both are extremely useful commands for TSing.

ok so i got the exact outputs that was requested
Dmesg Grep eth Code:
[root@localhost ~]#Dmesg Code:
root@localhost ~]# ifconfig |
OK, great - your NIC is being detected and configured, but not assigned an IP address. Do you have a DHCP server on your network? Are you NATed (meaning, if you're on broadband, are you behind a linksys or similar router with DHCP enabled?)?
Assuming you're on the network 192.168.1.0/32, as root try: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.222 netmask 255.255.255.0 and route add default gw 192.168.1.1 This assumes that all hosts on your network are using 192.168.1.something as their IPs, that no other host on your network is using .222, and that your default gateway is 192.168.1.1 - this may not be the case, and you will need to adjust the commands accordingly. If this gets you online, it will only be until your next reboot. To configure your NIC correctly, we need more info about your network. If you post the output of: cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and cat /etc/sysconfig/network we'll have a beter idea of your current setup. |
hey thanks for the tips
i tried what you wanted me to try with the whole assigning IP addresses. these are my results: Code:
[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.9 netmask 255.255.255.0Code:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0Code:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/networkDetermining IP information for eth0...dhclient(5359) is already running - exiting. If you did not get this software from ftp.isc.org, please get the latest from ftp.isc.org and install that before requesting help. If you did get this software from ftp.isc.org and have notyet read the README, please read it before requesting help.If you intend to request help from the dhcp-server@isc.org mailing list, please read the section on the README about submitting bug reports and requests for help. Please do not under any circumstances send requests forhelp directly to the authors of this software - please send them to the appropriate mailing list as described in the README file. exiting. failed. see, the thing is.. after i typed the ifconfig commands to assign the addresses, the network worked for the first attempt to access the internet. i had the network device window open and as soon as i get in one address the thing goes inactive and when i try to activate it through the GUI, i get the above message.. grr i think its set to turn off after a certain tries/amount of time.. i have no clue thanks a lot JJ |
