Fedora Core 5: ALSA issues.
Hi,
I've been using FC5 for about a month and a half so far, and it has been quite good. However, I booted up my pc this morning, and the sound server refused to start, telling me: Quote:
Which brings me to something else: How in the world do you uninstall programs that have been compiled from source in Linux?? If I do yum remove [whatever] , it'll process dependencies, and get rid of millions of other programs, resulting in an almost blank installation. The JAVA on my PC is royally screwed, and I need to wipe the slate clean and start again with it. How do I do this? Also, I've been trying to configure my wireless card to a static ip. It's loaded through ndiswrapper: WMP54g. The system-config-network doesn't see it. Up till now i've just been doing /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys, and then /sbin/dhclient wlan0. But that is using DHCP. Does anyone know how I would do it for a static IP? Thanks for putting up with my noobness if you've gotten this far, Chris. |
For the sound problem, would you post the results of the following command?
/sbin/lsmod | grep snd That will show if you have all the necessary sound modules loaded. As for your java installation, you should be able to delete the directroy where java is installed. Then download a new version, and install it. I have done this several times with success. There are instructions on Suns web site. Sorry I can't help with the other questions. I have never used wireless on linux. Not at all sure how to remove compiled programs. I do as little of that as possible. |
Here are the results of /sbin/lsmod |grep sound:

I dond see the module soundcore loaded. You need that for any sound card. Do a 'modprobe soundcore' and try again. From what I can see, you have everythin else you should need.
