Hello,

So I ran Swaret last night for the first time on my Slack 9.1 box (update and upgrade) and now neither my soundcard or printer is available throuh ALSA or CUPS (respectively). Being a noob, I figured, oh I'll just run 'alsaconf' and setup CUPS through my browser again, and things will be swell. Nope. In neither case was my equipment detectable.

How did I mess up? What can I do to fix this?

Help!!!

PS
For the soundcard issue, the message I got from "alsaconf" was:

"No PnP PCI card detected." - or something like that.

Shouldn't Hotplug handle this?

Are you sure that the swaret upgrade worked and all the new stuff installed correctly?

Try 'swaret --log' and review what actually happened.

Well, I guess I'm not really sure. It seems that everything worked fine up until Swaret had its way with my system.

Being a newbie, what should I look for in the log file?

If you updated ALSA, you'll need to upgrade your kernel as well. The Slackware ALSA packages are compiled for a specific kernel which you'll need. Either download and upgrade the kernel packages yourself, or remove kernel from the EXCLUDE line in /etc/swaret.conf and use swaret.
As for CUPS, I'm not sure. Check your SWareT log as allend suggested, and try restarting your CUPS server (/etc/rc.d/rc.cups restart).

If I do not exclude the kernel in my Swaret configuration, will I have to recompile the new kernel myself or will that be handled by swaret?

Nevermind. I'm an idiot!
