Gateway 3545GZ Laptop With CentOS 5.11, Unable To Hear Any Sound :-(

Hello

I try to install the epel repository so I can install ejabberd.

I do not have epel, it seems :

Code:

[root@serv src]# ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
CentOS-Base.repo  CentOS-Debuginfo.repo  CentOS-fasttrack.repo  CentOS-Media.repo  CentOS-Vault.repo  n2.repo

So I try to install epel :

Code:

[root@serv src]# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100]
	package epel-release-6-8.noarch is already installed

But when I try to install ejabberd :

Code:

[root@serv src]# yum install ejabberd
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, fastestmirror
Setting up Install Process
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: ftp.nluug.nl
 * extras: ftp.nluug.nl

No package ejabberd available.

Something is wrong with epel.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Please advise

Thanks in anticipation

Hi,

Although I've been using linux several years back. I am not a fast learner so here goes a question I should understand long ago.

I have installed fresh Ubuntu 15.04 netinstall.

After that install xorg and windows manager.
Sound was working.
Then I wanted to check the mixer and I used to alsamixer, and strange the app was not there.
I have tried all alsa* binaries but none of them was installed.

How can I findout what sound system is running?

Thanks

I am interested in finding out how to save the sound settings for the Gnome Alsa Mixer, in Ubuntu 14.04 , Trusty Tahr. Each time I UNMUTE the speaker bar, it resets to mute with the next boot up.

Hello,

I need to install perl-Expect, so, I executed:

Code:

#  yum install -y perl-Expect
Error: Package: perl-Expect-1.21-14.el7.noarch (epel)
           Requires: perl(IO::Pty) >= 1.03
Error: Package: perl-Expect-1.21-14.el7.noarch (epel)
           Requires: perl(IO::Tty)

Okay, I need to install perl(IO::Pty)

I launched
Code:

# yum install -y "perl(IO::Pty)"
No package perl(IO::Pty) available.
Error: Nothing to do

So, how to install all required perl modules to the RHEL?

Hi, I am trying pulseaudio and alsa to work on chroot linux. But there's one problem, whenevr I install PulseAudio, it makes a non working virtual device by default instead of the YMU-823. So how do I get pa to change my default sound card.

I have the below URL

http://linoxide.com/ubuntu-how-to/awstats/

in this URL , it have the command "sudo a2enmod cgi" to check the cgi is installed or not , but when I run it , it pops "bash: a2enmod: command not found" , I tried to install it by yum install a2enmod" , but got the below message , would advise how to install it .
Code:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

These instructions originate from https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140...nvidia-drivers, but I modified them slightly for my desktop environment (64-bit HP Envy Phoenix 810-135qe w/Intel i7-4770 and HP ZR2440w monitor, nVidia GeForce GTX645, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 w/Gnome3).

The following procedures replace the nouveau drivers with kmod-nvidia drivers from ElRepo.

Install the repository ElRepo from: http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php

Install the package nvidia-detect from within Applications>SystemTools>Software

From within the terminal, enter the command nvidia-detect.
Example:
[anthony@hp810135qe ~]$ nvidia-detect
Output is...
Probing for supported NVIDIA devices...
[10de:11c4] NVIDIA Corporation GK106 [GeForce GTX 645 OEM]
This device requires the current 346.59 NVIDIA driver kmod-nvidia

For my system the following software packages will apply (yours maybe slightly different, the key is to note the ###.## version identified for your system using nvidia-detect as explained above): kmod-nvidia-346.59-1.el7.elrepo (64-bit), nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-346.59-1.el7.elrepo (64-bit), nvidia-x11-drv-346.59-1.el7.elrepo (64-bit)

Now do the following steps in the sequence indicated:

1. Disable X Windows

a) open a terminal and "su" or "sudo -i"

b) ln -fs /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target

Note: Another way to disable X Windows is to do the following from within the Terminal # systemctl set-default multi-user.target

To later change back to booting into graphical mode, substitute 'graphical.target' for 'multi-user.target' in the above commands.

c) reboot

2. Remove Nouveau

a) rpm -e xorg-x11-drivers xorg-x11-drv-nouveau

Note: Another way to remove Nouveau is to do the following from within the Terminal

$ yum remove xorg-x11-drivers xorg-x11-drv-nouveau xorg-x11-glamor

See http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia which discusses that glamor still causes a conflict with nVidia in RHEL 7

3. Blacklist Nouveau

a) edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add line:

blacklist nouveau

Note: A way to edit this file is by doing the following:

# vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
(use INSERT key to make changes in vi; add the line

blacklist nouveau

Hit Esc key to escape INSERT mode, then hit SHIFT Z Z to save and exit with the changes. Hitting :q ENTER leaves vi without saving changes.

b) edit /etc/default/grub and append to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX:

rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau

Note: A way to edit this file is by doing the following:

# vi /etc/default/grub and append to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX:
(use INSERT key to make changes in vi; add the line

rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau

Hit Esc key to escape INSERT mode, then hit SHIFT Z Z to save and exit with the changes. Hitting :q ENTER leaves vi without saving changes.

IMPORTANT NOTE IF YOU HAVE AN ENCRYPTED BOOTUP DRIVE -

If you have an encrypted root drive, remove "rhgb" from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. This will allow you to interact with the encryption passphrase prompt, since Plymouth doesn't seem to run without a framebuffer friendly video driver loaded. IF YOU DON'T THIS, WHEN YOU BOOTUP YOU WILL GET STUCK AT A BLINKING CURSOR AND BLACKSCREEN THAT HAS THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGES:


[5.757276] scsi 7:0:0:0: alua: not attached
[5.759625] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdg] no caching made page found
[5.759668] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdg] assuming drive cache: write through

WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT MEANS PLYMOUTH IS NOT ABLE TO SHOW YOU THE PROMPT FOR ENTERING THE PASSPHRASE FOR THE ENCRYPTED DRIVES. WITHOUT THE PROMPT THE SYSTEM CAN'T ACCEPT THE PASSPHRASE AND YOU ARE STUCK. IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU, YOU CAN DO CTRL-ALT-DELETE TO REBOOT - THIS ALLOWS YOU TO HIT 'e' AT THE KERNEL LINE IN GRUB TERMINAL TO EDIT (MOST LIKELY THE TOP KERNEL) AND THEN REMOVE 'rhgb' (which stands for Red Hat Graphical Bootsplashcreen or something like that). WHEN DONE HIT THE KEYS 'CTRL X' TO REBOOT - YOU'LL THEN SEE TEXT MESSAGES SCROLLING AND GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENTER THE PASSPHRASE. ENTER THE PASSPHRASE AND YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO.

4. Reconfigure the grub.cfg files

Two options for booting nowadays are BIOS and EFI

-If you chose BIOS boot run this command:
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Note: I also have this one being auto-updated-configured in my system (?why? It's EFI).

-If EFI boot on CentOS:
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg

-If EFI boot on RHEL:
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg
Note: Mine is an EFI system. But I did both this and the BIOS grub.cfg above since it too is being updated by RHEL updates concurrently with the EFI grub.cfg

5. Reboot and Install NVidia Driver - I use ElRepo's kmod-nvidia for this step.

Steps by me to install ElRepo's kmod-nvidia (You should still be in Text mode at this time):

If in multi-user.target mode (text, runlevel 3), then do the following
$ su -
enter root password
# yum install kmod-nvidia - version from above
# yum install nvidia-x11-drv-32bit - version from above (this is for 32bit compatibility)
# yum install nvidia-x11-drv - version from above (this is for Open GL X11 display driver and to be done if kmod didn't already include doing it with the kmod-nvidia installation above)
# exit
$

If still in graphics.target mode (you shouldn't be but if you are) (GUI, runlevel 5),
Use Applications > Software > kmod-nvidia - version from above
Install kmod-nvidia - version from above
Install nvidia-x11-drv-32bit - version from above (this is for 32bit compatibility)
Install nvidia-x11-drv - version from above (this is for Open GL X11 display driver)

6. At this point rebuild initramfs. This recreates initrd w/o nouveau. The existing initrd still has the embedded nouveau drivers if this step is not performed) :

Back up the current initramfs keeping nouveau
# mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
Build the new one without nouveau
# dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

7. Re-Enable X Windows

# systemctl set-default graphical.target

8. Reboot

If you have an encrypted bootup drive, when you bootup you may notice that Plymouth doesn't look so good with its text in a lower resolution and you'll see lines of text scrolling until you get to a stopped cursor waiting for you to enter the passphrase to unencrypt your drive. Maybe eventually there'll be a solution for this to keep things moving with a graphical bootsplash all throughout. Until then, this is a minor inconvenience for me.

Hello Everyone,

I installed Linux Mint about four days ago, after a few hitches that I was able to figure out on my own, I got everything up and running and am enjoying my experience. There is one problem however, that I haven't been able to fix myself, so now I'm asking for the communities help. Since day 1 I haven't had any sound from Mint. I've tried videos through Firefox, music on Banshee, and system sounds but nothing is working at all. I have spent the better part of the last three days ripping my hair out and jumping from source to source looking for an answer and so far nothing has worked. I have tried a lot of things including forcing ALSA to reload, and even uninstalling and reinstalling ALSA and Pulse all together. Therein lies my next issue, I followed a guide off of the forums to try uninstalling and reinstalling ALSA and Pulse and it seemed all went according to plan, I reveived no errors during the process, but now my little sound icon in the system tray is missing.

Here is the info on my audio device:

Code: Select all
Audio: Card-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] FCH Azalia Controller driver: snd_hda_intel bus-ID: 00:14.2
Card-2: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Device 9840 driver: snd_hda_intel bus-ID: 00:01.1
Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ver: k3.13.0-37-generic


Any help is greatly appreciated as having no sound, while not vital, is a major inconvenience.

Thank you!
