raixun · 06-15-2008, 06:43 AM

hi all i have some problem with slack

1) i use slackware 12.1 wîth default kernel.if i start x with "$ startx" command That is well i can listen music but if i start with "# kdm" soundcard doesnt work i cannot listen something:S

2) i installed lm-sensors later do configure with "sensor-detect" but When i start sensors i get below error:

-------------------
$ sensors
No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.
---------------------

3) When my computer bootting. default boot loader is FreeBSD's boot loader but i want it start with Slackware's boot loader LILO therefore What must i ?

Add your user to the audio, cdrom, plugdev and video groups (the audio group is the culprit here, but the other groups are important for other reasons). You can accomplish this with the following:

Code:

gpasswd -a username group

You will have to log out and back in for the changes to take effect.

When you run sensors-detect, it should output a list of modules that must be loaded. You should add these modules to /etc/rc.d/rc/modules-$(uname -r), which is /etc/rc.d/rc.modules-2.6.24.5-smp in a default setup. You could also try manually loading the modules using `modprobe module` and then running sensors. It should be noted, however, that lm-sensors is already included with Slackware by default, so I'm hoping you installed the official package instead of compiling from source or some such thing.

You should run `liloconfig` as root to setup LILO. You should probably choose the expert mode to ensure that everything is correct. If it fails, then you can edit /etc/lilo.conf manually and run `/sbin/lilo` afterwards to write the changes to the MBR. Search the forums for more information on editing lilo.conf.

If this is what you typed, it should be sensors-detect. If you are successfull you should go through a configure procedure.

The correct command would have been

Code:

# gpasswd -a raixun audio
# gpasswd -a raixun video
# gpasswd -a raixun cdrom
# gpasswd -a raixun plugdev
