 Posted: Sat Aug 23, 2008 3:19 am Post subject: Couple of non-working things. |
 |
|
Firstly, a couple of minor annoyances. nm-applet does not work despite having emerged it a couple times now. It suggested that I try "nm-applet -sm-disable" if it doesn't work, but that didn't work.
Secondly, I emerged the "netscape-flash" package, yet Flash won't work. I tried installing the package from the Adobe site, but that only works on x86 systems, leaving me stuck with the portage package that won't work. (I'm using Firefox, by the way)
The last annoyance is a bigger one. My speakers won't work. This is a dv9000 laptop, so the speakers are integrated. Here is their lspci:

First thing's first - flash.
You're on amd64? nspluginwrapper is the way to go. Google will tell you how to set it up.
Audio: are you doing alsa drivers or in-kernel drivers? modules? Run lsmod, and give relevant dmesg output.

I had the in kernel drivers integrated into the kernel, then I moved them out to being modules when that didn't work. Still no sound.
I'll look up nspluginwrapper now. |

yeah,,, you need them to be modules... are they loaded? 
Run alsaconf, /etc/init.d/alsasound start, and rc-update add alsasound default.
Then post lsmod here.

I've already emerged flash, if that's what you mean. nspluginwrapper is installing now.
EDIT: alsaconf doesn't exist... should I recompile my kernel with the drivers integrated into the kernel?

actually, I was only talking about sound in that last one - looks like you have flash under control.

hmm... none of it works. Aside from the also kernel modules, it seems I've got nothing.
As for installing flash. Once nspluginwrapper is done, what next? |

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Flash_9_and_Firefox
then add nspluginwrapper as a plugin to firefox.

for other soundcore modules, I get something like this:
| Code: | tristan-laptop ~ # modprobe snd
WARNING: Error inserting soundcore (/lib/modules/2.6.25-gentoo-r7/kernel/sound/soundcore.ko): Invalid module format
FATAL: Error inserting snd (/lib/modules/2.6.25-gentoo-r7/kernel/sound/core/snd.ko): Invalid argument
|
EDIT: If I need to recompile my kernel, I can do that pretty easily. |

you compiled wrong... make sure either: all modules are selected in alsa in the kernel, or you emerge the correct package - alsa-driver AFAIK.

Well, now i need to look up how to get around that.
fixed. installing
need to recompile my kernel first... I'll do that then install the alsa drivers
So, what about nm-applet? Any clue why that won't work? |

rc-update alsasound add default
