Hi aussie360, Welcome to LQ. Is this a full install? Were there any problems or errors during the install? Judging from that log it looks like the alsa packages aren't installed

Good luck. ;-)

jefro · 10-02-2011, 02:10 PM

Worse comes to worse you can boot to a fedora live cd and see if that works. If so you then know that it would be easy to get your device working since fedora and Oracle linux are so similar.

seeing as Oracle Enterprise Linux is NOT free and you MUST have a contract with Oracle for it
Have you asked them ?

also sound on a headless server is not a big priority .
or is it a "desktop" install and not for the Oracle Database

Pay Oracle a lot of Cash and buy a license
or install something different .

i downloded the OEL in oracle site only, when u register in this site "https://edelivery.oracle.com/" then it is free .

im using OEL for oracle database and this question irrelevent to this topic.

thanks for ur response.

Please post the output from the following.

Code:

# rpm -qa | grep alsa

Which version of OEL?

Good luck. ;-)

Looks like the packages are installed, let's see if the modules exist. Please post the result of the following.

Code:

$ ls -l /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/sound/pci

That command assumes a pci card. If you have a different type of card let us know.

Good luck. ;-)

this is a laptop and a red hat based distro was never meant to be ran on laptops
there are normally issues with running a distro meant for a headless server on laptops ( it was never designed for use on laptops)

the mouse pad
sound
graphics

all of them might need "special" custom software from the hardware manufacture

is there any output ( as in does the tool work) from

Code:

alsamixer

is the sound muted
that is normally the #1 problem

and have you asked oracle
you did buy the support contract ? right
it is not really a FREE os
you MUST buy a license

DavidMcCann · 10-06-2011, 04:39 PM

According to their web site

Quote:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop is an attractive and highly productive environment for knowledge workers on desktops or laptops.

But RHEL (and hence, presumably, Oracle) is a bit sparing on driver support. On my desktop, I have no sound with Scientific Linux (pure RHEL) but I do get sound with CentOS (extra drivers). You could look for a suitable driver, or just run the database with a different Linux.

Peacedog · 10-06-2011, 08:32 PM

Alright, let's see the output from the following please.

Code:

$ /sbin/lspci -v

Let's see if we can determine your card so we can figure out if you have the proper module available.

Good luck. ;-)
