[11:02] rc.d is stuf that runs on boot (or changing run level) - more system level stuff than you're after here === Grey_Loki nods [11:05] Grey_Loki: /etc/rc.local is very useful very autostarting stuff. Whether it's right for gdesklets I dunno [11:05] I'll have a check of the gd forums, see what they say. === grazie wonders what's so hard about "google autostart gdesklets" :) [11:06] the stuff in rc.local will run before you login so is likely to not work unless gdesklets can magically attach to your session after it's created...

[12:51] sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-devel fakeroot kernel-wedge kernel-package [12:51] anno: m4 needed? anything or "won't hurt either to have it"? [12:51] I yet did not change the sources.lst [12:52] git or install kernel-source....? [12:52] sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.15-26-386 ? [12:53] apt-get source linux-image-... is I think the better way as that gets you the config being used currently and you can then just make the one change and everything should work. === PatrickWst [n=patrick@ANice-251-1-31-66.w86-202.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #xubuntu [12:54] while kernel? <- i only got from the directory earlier (how do I get the actual version) is assumed to be 2.6.15-26-386 [12:54] it will be apt-get source linux-image-2.6.15 ? [12:55] linux-image not found [12:55] apt-get install linux-source-2.6.15 works [12:56] you can probably work from that then [12:56] ok I am now at :"Modifying the source for your needs" on page [12:56] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [12:57] edit a config file now or d/l the es-18xx.(k)o? [12:57] You should just need to update the config to include es-18xx as a module [12:58] ok. where to edit which config file and where to get the file snd-es18xx? [12:59] give me a minute to have a poke... [01:00] thx much [01:00] wanna have a thank-you-picture-postcard from Germany? (uh- hope you still help me .. *cough * cough) [01:01] the debian dir mentioned in the page cannot be found [01:02] find / -name config.386 running [01:03] no hits yet [01:03] locate better? [01:04] locate is faster but wont get things that appeared since the last updatedb [01:04] running updatedb [01:04] & locate config.386 [01:04] Carsten: your linux kernel source and .config will be in /urs/src/linix [01:05] kk [01:05] Carsten: /urs/src/linux even [01:05] rgr [01:05] untar linux-source-2.5.16.tar.bz2? [01:05] you need to run make oldconfig [01:05] or in -headers- [01:06] and then run make menuconfig [01:06] in /usr/src/linux [01:06] should already be untared [01:06] I have a ~headers~ dir and a ~source~ tarbal [01:07] untar it in that case [01:07] rgr [01:07] Carsten: is /usr/src/linux a symlink to your latest kernel source? If not update it so it is. [01:08] in /usr/src/ i have [01:08] alsa (dir) [01:09] linux-headers-...- (dir) [01:09] linux-headers-...-386 (dir) [01:09] that alsa doesn't seem right [01:09] hang on a minute what version of linux-souce have you got? [01:09] linux-source-....tar.bz2 [01:09] Xubuntu 6.06 [01:09] source: 2.6.15 [01:09] -26 [01:10] that's OK, you said 2.5.16 last time and that scared me... [01:10] oups... [01:10] i confirm 2.. 6 .. 15 [01:10] argh [01:10] 2.6.15-26 THATS it (checked twice before enter) [01:10] thats OK then untar that, and point /usr/src/linux at it [01:11] bunzip... [01:11] tar -xf ... [01:11] point is softlink... [01:11] tar xjf ... [01:11] ok [01:11] yes [01:11] how to link? thats years ago [01:11] i.e. ln -s linus-source-2.6.15 linux [01:11] thc [01:11] though without my typos ;) [01:11] ok [01:12] i see [01:12] I do not care as long as i got a thought of it what you mean [01:12] if i get unsure i will ask [01:12] (still bunziipping) [01:13] I am quite thankful for your typo.. it helps me get an overview and likely solving my prob... [01:13] where are you from (may i ask)? [01:13] UK [01:14] mre specifically Aberdeen [01:14] oh, i m a kraut [01:14] ok bunzip worked... [01:14] xjf-ing now [01:15] ok i learned: tar -j handeles zips? [01:15] you don't need the j if you bunzipped first [01:15] yes [01:15] ok [01:16] tar -xf-ing now [01:16] right now i am in Dresden... [01:16] studiying (actually exactly now I am not ^^) [01:16] while that's working have a look in /boot for a config-... file. [01:16] Grey_Loki: hmmm, it is an opera dev. that changed to mozilla... so I assume opera has the rights of usage of that patent [01:17] thx for that [01:17] Unless he took them with him when he moved to Mozilla? [01:17] I'll wait for the story to surface on English tech news, and take a look later [01:17] For now, it's time for RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 :D [01:17] See if I can get wine to agree with it [01:18] Grey_Loki: Opera had tabbed browsing for a long time... so I think they have the right to use it... however I don't know about the exact situation and patents... [01:18] not whine, but wine ^^ [01:18] Grey_Loki: here in Switzerland the patent would remain with the company and not the individual [01:19] ormiret: tar finished. ready (blinking cursor) [01:19] OK, 'make menuconfig' [01:19] ormiret: (i linked the dir into linux) [01:20] specific dir to be at? [01:20] ah right, you'll need to move into that dir before the make command then [01:20] ok [01:20] (good thing one of us is paying attention) [01:20] right... i ll try [01:20] ^^ [01:21] well it's not the first time i sitt in front of linux, but i am quite noob [01:21] ormiret: HOSTCC... SHIPPED... [01:22] First thing you want to do once menu config comes up is load an alternative conifguration file, and give it the one in /boot that corresponds to your curent kernel [01:22] ormiret: alright menu there [01:22] uh--... [01:22] general setup? [01:22] code maturity? [01:23] Should be second option from the bottom "Load an alternative Configuratio File" [01:23] ^^ [01:23] i learned... more menuoptions than my screen can handle in one page [01:23] enter name ".config" ? [01:24] right you want /boot/config-... have a look in /boot to find the one matching the current kernel [01:25] ok [01:26] loaded? [01:26] nope had-typing =( [01:26] hand-t [01:27] alright [01:27] loaded [01:28] Hrmpfh. winecfg isn't loading ze dialogue box :( === vorian [n=vorian@ubuntu/member/Vorian] has joined #xubuntu [01:29] ormiret: sugesstion.. i need snd-es18xx.ko? [01:29] Right, now Device Drivers -> Sound -> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture -> ISA devices -> Generic ESS ES18xx driver [01:29] change that option to an M [01:30] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=319120 [01:30] ok [01:30] working [01:31] hm... [01:32] Generic ESS ES18xx driver has (like every driver on that menu-page) already an "M" in front?! [01:32] odd that you dont have the module then... [01:32] In that case exit and save the configuration [01:33] rgr [01:33] done [01:33] from page above :...Sorry, should have read closer. Does dmesg give any hints about what went wrong? What does modinfo snd-ex18xx report? Look at setting a port= or irq= type option. dmesg will hopefully tell precisely which test failed and consequently what info needs to be supplied. [01:34] That will only be needed once you have the right module (and even then the kernel can usually figure that stuff out itself) [01:34] ok [01:34]
