newbie ltmodem help Problem Solved 10-05-2006

hello

i have installed mandrake 9.2 would update to something newer but only have dail up

i'm looking for a rpm package
ltmodem-kv_2.4.22_6mdk-8.22a5-1.i686.rpm

i've tried googling with nothing found

if anybody knows where i can find this please help
thank you
blame

Have you set up URPMI for your Mandrake system? If yes, and it is a Mandrake package for 9.2 it will be there.

BTW, most Mandrake ( now Mandriva ) packages end in .mdk not .rpm. Are you sure you have the whole name of the package correct? I'm booted in 2006 now, I do have a 9.2 system installed, so I can boot there and look using URPMI, if you have no other choice.

I did a search on rpmseek.com and found this:

Quote:

Package Name ltmodem-kv_2.6.9-1.667asp
Summary ltmodem / linmodem driver for kernel-2.6.9-1.667asp
File Name Distribution Ver. Rel. Arch Dld.
ltmodem-kv_2.6.9-1.667asp-2.6 -7.i386.rpm ASP Linux People 2.6 7 i386

I searched for 'ltmodem' only.

hey camorri

thanks for the reply
i'm a total newbie at linux so excuse me if i make any mistakes

Have you set up URPMI for your Mandrake system? If yes, and it is a Mandrake package for 9.2 it will be there.
no i dont think i've seen anything for URPMI yet but i'll check into it and find out about

BTW, most Mandrake ( now Mandriva ) packages end in .mdk not .rpm. Are you sure you have the whole name of the package correct? I'm booted in 2006 now, I do have a 9.2 system installed, so I can boot there and look using URPMI, if you have no other choice.
well thats alittle info i didnt know about the .mdk thank you

I did a search on rpmseek.com and found this:

i've seen this site referred to before but couldnt remember the name so i'll have to book mark it

thanks again i'll be back later blame

There are numerous magazines which would have a dvd cover disc
with mandriva 2007 on them, for about 6£

you can order cd or dvds for a few dollars from many sites
(a few in the UK, google for linux distribution buy cheap for example) or see http://distrowatch.com/

Unless you had very old equipment, I would try a newer version,
and even so, still a newer distro will have more software

See as well there might be a linux user group (LUG) near from
where you are, somebody will give you a distro for sure

modems can be a pain see the excellent resource
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/
with the scanmodem utility

I appreciate you are new to all this, just come back if
you have further questions, other will help

modems can be a pain see the excellent resource
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/
with the scanmodem utility

well this was the first site i found on linmodems
i used the scanmodem util and got 2 files from it modemcompile.txt
and modem.txt

the main thing is gitting the modem to show up in harddrake i have it under root part of the time with ltmodem-2.4.22-37mdk.rpm but then i went and tried to use the config tool in harddrake to est. my connection but was informed my modem wasnt supported

so what do i do now?

oh also i've lost my sound and yes i went into kmix and checked to see if it was muted

geez why do they have to b e such a pain linux is really starting to frustrate me but then again i'm used to windoze
thanks for the help

Run the command '/sbin/lsmod | grep snd' with out the quotes to see if you have the sound stuff loaded for your card. Here is what it looks like on my machine. Note, the driver will probably be different.

Code:

/sbin/lsmod | grep snd

snd_seq_dummy          2532  0

snd_seq_oss            31136  0

snd_seq_midi_event      5696  1 snd_seq_oss

snd_seq                46960  5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event

snd_pcm_oss            48960  0

snd_mixer_oss          16896  1 snd_pcm_oss

snd_es18xx            27208  3

snd_pcm                79784  4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_es18xx

snd_page_alloc          8392  1 snd_pcm

snd_opl3_lib            8672  1 snd_es18xx

snd_timer              20548  3 snd_seq,snd_pcm,snd_opl3_lib

snd_hwdep              6848  1 snd_opl3_lib

snd_rawmidi            19616  1 snd_mpu401_uart

snd_seq_device          6828  5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_opl3_lib,snd_rawmidi

snd                    46116  16 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_es18xx,snd_pcm,s              nd_opl3_lib,snd_timer,snd_hwdep,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device

soundcore              7008  1 snd

Snd is alsa and you need soundcore. The rest of the stuff loaded on my machine by using 'modprobe snd_es18xx'

If you don't have a driver loaded you need to figure out what driver you need. Post back what you find.

ok here is what i've found

Code:

snd-pcm-oss              43428  0  (unused)

snd-mixer-oss            14232  0  [snd-pcm-oss]

snd-timer                18276  0  [snd-pcm]

snd-ac97-codec            44824  0  [snd-via82xx]

soundcore                  6308  0  [snd]

snd-page-alloc            8942  0  [snd-via82xx snd-pcm]

from the command line as route you can also type alsaconf
and see if that helps

re modem, you are much better using wvdial to configure your modem
as explained in scanmodem and also to establish the connection.
I would forget about hardrake, my 2cents (unless you use a newer version
with a very good support of the modem). Anyway without the info
given by scanmodem we are in the dark to help.
Also we would need to know exactly what you have done so far to configure the
modem. Did you follow scanmodem instructions? What were they?

if you cut and past this in a bash script (do you know how to do that?)
camorri might have even more info to guide you with the sound
BTW surely you know what audio card you have...

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# NOT explored alsaconf

# By emmmanuel_uk

# Mixandmathc commands to see if there is sound related info

echo --------"aumix -q | grep -i -E --colour  'vol|cd.'"

aumix -q | grep -i -E --colour  'vol|cd.'

echo --------lspcidrake and lspci

lspcidrake -v | fgrep -i --color AUDIO

lspci -v | grep -i -E --colour 'audio|snd.'

echo --------egrep --colour '(sparcaudio|sound)' /proc/devices

egrep --colour '(sparcaudio|sound)' /proc/devices

echo '--------modules looking for sound slot' grep -i --colour 'sound-slot' /etc/modules.conf

echo --------cat /etc/modprobe.conf | grep -i --colour 'sound-slot'

cat /etc/modprobe.conf | egrep -i -n --colour 'sound-slot|snd|alsa'

echo --------modprobe -c  with grep and awk

 /sbin/modprobe -c | grep -i -E --after-context=0 '.*i810.|.*snd.*intel8.*|.*nvid.*|alsa' | grep -v pci

echo --------awk

 /sbin/modprobe -c | awk '/^((alias)|(probe)) +sound-slot-[0-9]/ {print $1" "$2" "$3}'

echo --------devices  egrep --colour '(sparcaudio|sound)' /proc/devices

egrep --colour '(sparcaudio|sound)' /proc/devices

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/sound  #would start loading the right module

#/sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove i810_audio  #hardway to unload a kernel module

echo --------lsmod    /sbin/lsmod | grep -i -E --colour 'audio|codec|sound'

/sbin/lsmod | grep -i -E --colour 'audio|codec|sound'

echo --------chkconfig services at level x sound and alsa

/sbin/chkconfig --list sound

/sbin/chkconfig --list alsa

echo --------fuser of dsp

/sbin/fuser -v /dev/dsp

echo --------processes like kscd still live possibly

ps -A | grep kscd

I know it is frustrating,but this is because of the learning curve
Once more newer idstro better hardware detection...

what really sucks is having to shut down windoze to boot linux every little bit all i need
it another powercord but back to the topic

i'll check that stuff out and write out everything ive tried over the last 2 days or so
i'll be back thanks for the help guys

well i thought i had everthing ready too
k the freespace i hade on my hdd and formated
to fat32 with linux but windozes sees it as
unformatted

what can i do to get the files off the hdd

forgot to add this the first time i now have the sound working just running the alsaconf script help it out
thanks Emmanuel_uk for helping with that

glad to know you have the sound working ;)

Quote:

I am not sure I understand how many partitions you have,
and whether you have a dual boot.
Are you trying to make a spare fat32 partition so you
can share files between OS's? (this is the right thing to do)

I'm glad you got sound working. Run a 'df' command and paste the results here. Then we'll understand the partitions, and drives you have.

yeah i thought that the best way to go with dual boot for this computer
but to learn the os i wanted to run it on its own computer but i ran out of power cables
anyway i have other issues

well last night while tring to config the modem i lost my mouse i use
a microsoft usb trackball and it changed it to a ps/2 for some reason

i thought i could change it back using the mouseconf but i lost something in
the process i'm not sure what but i rebooted linux and when i booted it up it said

it couldnt find host drive (or something along those lines)
wouldnt let me do anything so trying to figure things out i put the mandrake cd in
and set in the bios to boot from cd-rom only and redid the linux install
i tried to use rescue but it said file not found
so i used the upgrade option (dont think this was a very good idea now that i've done it)
thus gitting where i am now to sum it up

i dont have any the orig programs i was using to configure the comp
either that or i need a break from this
i still dont have a mouse
i still cant get the linmodem working
and everytime i do somoething it seems like everything changes
but anyway i dont know i might just do a complete reinstall and see what happens

be back later
thanks for help guys

before i post anything about my ltmodem problem

is the a way to take driver package and make my own drivers for thr kernel i have?

ok here is what i have found i guess

so what can we do to get my modem working under linux any help welocomed thanks blame

I still recommand you ditch mandrake 9.2, try mandy 2006 or 2007 (just wait a few days) or pclinuxos
BTW 2007 is out http://www.mandriva.com/en/download

You might have this modem then
http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/sh...p/product/2582
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pack...em/kernel-2.6/

I know the results of scanmodem are difficult to read or understand
when being a newbie. However there is nothing better around to start from.
And actually it is very very good and tells you about everything
you need to know. Please read the output again

If you want further help (not from me because this a topic I really dislike)
you need to post

the exact vendor ID and device ID are necessary to look
in the archive of technion
You can email technion there are very very knowledgeable

you need also to post here what the ./scanmodem is suggesting

winmodem are a pain. It sometimes take quite a bit of effort
You might consider buying a serial modem (a true modem)
see the database at http://start.at/modem

The way I would do it is google for mandriva 2005 or 2006 + exact id of modem,
I may have a ltmodem package on the dvd
bottom of page of http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/ you can search the archive
you are not the first one with this modem
