Help,how can I install alsa driver and make it work?
I have installed hiweed debian (a sub-distribution developed by chinese programers),and want to install alsa driver.But the problem is that after I have installed alsa-base and alsa-utils,and just wanted to install alsaconf,then an error occured,saying that alsaconf must depend on alsa-base ,the version of which must be newer than 0.5.9d-6,and also depend on alsa-utils.
And when I use a source tarball of alsa, I configured it and created the makefile ,typed "make ",then it stop,saying that some variables in some sources file are error.But before that, I have compiled it in my fedora,and it worked well,no problem.
Why????
hi
what exactly does the compilation error message say?
when there are several packages all requiring each other,
if you re using dpkg -i , you can type
dpkg -i packacge1.deb package2.deb package3.deb and-so-on.deb
if you use apt-get, this should nt happen, if it does, its a case of a mess i dont know how to fix.
But the best bet,and the way I got it to work, is simply to compile it as it says on the site
alsa-project.org, and have some distribution cds in the sources.lst.
Make sure you install alsa-driver first.
If the packages you have don't provide for each others dependencies, consider getting some other packages?
Improving your sources.lst might let you install smoothly with apt-get then.
Im not sure where there are repositories for hiweed debian.
Consider using Sarge and a Chinese locale with Chinese Imput Method SCIM?
Make sure you get the SCIM packahes from unstable, the ones in Sarge were broken last time I tried.
FCITX works fine too.
