Two questions for Suse 10.2

Hi :-D

You shouldn't need a driver, SuSE should already have the SB driver built-in.

I believe the snd_emu10k1 kernel module should handle everything it might be called something else on SuSE.



[code:1:af6ae9003c]
lsmod # lists your loaded kernel modules

lsmod |grep -i snd # lists loaded kernel modules which match [b]snd[/b] case insensitive

lsmod |grep -i emu # lists loaded kernel modules which match [b]emu[/b] case insensitive

dmesg |grep -i emu # shows kernel messages containing emu

lspci

lspci -v

lspci -vv

# will list your hardware devices with increasing detail.

procinfo # will show your devices and their interrupts

[/code:1:af6ae9003c]



Regarding Alcohol 120%.... Linux uses ISOs which are an international standard. Some windows programs use proprietary image formats however you can sometimes convert them from the proprietary format to the ISO standard format.

For example you can convert Nero .nrg files into ISOs

http://www.weethet.nl/english/cdrw_nrgtoiso.php

You may be able to convert the .img files to ISOs with the right converter however you need to know what program created the .img

.img is a common extension so it's hard to tell what kind of format it actually is.

[code:1:af6ae9003c]
file filename.img # will try to identify the type of file
[/code:1:af6ae9003c]

This may help but you will probably need to be more specific:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en [...] gle+Search

What's the output of this?

[code:1:924be29050]
file your_filename_here.img
[/code:1:924be29050]


ghost is a hard drive imaging utility, are you sure that's what created it?

What's the output of this?

[code:1:efddf0ee8f]
file your_filename_here.img
[/code:1:efddf0ee8f]


ghost is a hard drive imaging utility, are you sure that's what created it?

Well, I think it could be ghost disk, but the sourse is unknown. The output I think is GHOST_001.img



[code:1:efddf0ee8f]
file GHOST_001.img

strings GHOST_001.img |more # hit space for the next page
[/code:1:efddf0ee8f]

see if that helps

strings will produce a lot of output of human readable strings from the file so it should give you a clue of what is in the file and maybe what format it is.

Hehe, great find!!! :-D

Enter the consel and log in as root

tar -zxvf YourFile.tar.gz

Then navagate to the folder that was created (it will be the same as the name of the package)

./configure
make
make install

You are usually dealing with files that have long names. One way to speed things up is to type the first couple of letters of the package name and the press tab. It will fill in the name for you.

Your right, su logs you in as root

I used the tar -zxvf ccd2iso-0.2.tar.gz, but it said tar: ccd2iso-0.2.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors ,and I dunno what's wrong with the tar thing. Also, the file is on my desktop, so do I move it to some other place?

Great advice as always, just adding (since it's on the desktop aparently)
[code:1cdc3fc80d]mv ~/Desktop/ccd2iso-0.2.tar.gz ~

//then linux_0's stuff//
# assuming the tgz is in your home directory

cd $HOME

tar xzvf ccd2iso-0.2.tar.gz
...[/code:1cdc3fc80d]

Good luck

[code:1:3e13d3a0cb]

cd ccd2iso # change directory to ccd2iso

./configure --prefix=/usr/local # configure it and have it install to /usr/local

make # compile it

su - # become root / superuser

make install # install it

[/code:1:3e13d3a0cb]

I'm missing aclocal -1.6, and does anyone know how to find the file, because the google site gives acmake or something like that.

In this case, I think going with YaST is the way to go

Open up YaST and install the Developer Tools. Will double-check the process when I get home and have access to my machine.

Do I use the latest ones, or orders ones, because I have no clue. I guess I'll try and see with the newest one, or close to the newest.

Ok, after getting automake, do I combine the file and the ccd2iso files, or do I have to do something else with it?

Is there a way I can make a makefile?

you mention make, but I don't know what you mean, so I'm having a hard time finding it.

Do you do anything else after this?

Congrats, you've just installed a couple of packages by hand, usually one of the trickier things to do when starting to use Linux. Now that automake and company is installed, you aren't bounded by whatever packages your distro provides, which is a good thing. Great instructions as always linux_0.

If you haven't already, give the package-based installer a look, it can make installation easier.

(Images from KDE, should be similar if you chose Gnome)
Step 1: Open YaST


Step 2: Select Software Management


Step 3: Choose which Packages you want to install (can search or browse, up to you)


Enjoy Linux!

how to change from linux-p8wchome/jim # to adding on automaker- 1.9.6?

ok I want to turn this from /home/jim to /home/jim/automake-1.9.6.tar.gz but do I use what you posted? Last time, when you posted a solution for my ccd2iso to be from /home/jim to /home/jim/ccd2iso-0.2.tar.gz

When I used this linux-p8wchome/jim # cd /home/jim # changes directory /home/jim/automake-1.9.6.tar.gz
linux-p8wchome/jim # ./configure --prefix=/usr/local # configure it and have it install to /usr/local

It came out as this bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
and it worked for the ccd2iso.0.2.tar.gz. Why isn't that working?

When I did make, it give me the same error for missing aclocal-1.6 missing, even though I have tried your method. Is there a way I can get the aclocal to fuse with the ccd2iso-0.2.tar.gz? I have the correct version of it, but it says it's still missing.

You might want to try the method bmouring suggested above.

YaST should take care of all the dependencies for you.

:-D

Uhhh, are you sure it doesn't uses your Suse 10.1 cds, because I don't have them now, and I don't if I need them.

Ok, how do you install automake-1.6 on YaST?

Should I just delete my current version in order to install 1.6 to try to work ccd2iso-0.2.tar.gz?

This is exactly the reason why I think that all easy-to-use distros should come with the following by default:

automake
gcc
glibc
kernel headers (either in the default /usr/src/linux/include or symlinked)
etc.

Doing so would make things much much easier.

Or perhaps provide a stand-in script for make that checks for required packages, then outputs something to tell the user to use yum or apt-get or whatever to get the following packages:..... and if all the packages are in, then run the actual make. Just my $.02

Agreed that it isn't working with the kernel per se, but for very-first time users, it can seem extremely unfamiliar and arcane. I suppose it's a question of ease-of-use vs. teaching the system, since inevitably you will get your hands dirty when playing with Linus and the gang

Yeah, didn't really mean to insinuate that it was a task left to the kernel crew, more along the lines that if you play with their baby, no matter who's packaging it, you're going to have to get a little dirty. I should have been clearer before.
