Bruno Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Hi AlbrtijoLet us try 2 things:First add the next two lines to your /etc/modprobe.conf: blacklist audioblacklist snd-usb-audioAnd reboot to see if it makes any change in your sound.If that does not help please read and execute: SoundCheck Script and show us the results.

(How did that happen?) I went to MCC to install kmix and was dragged through a bunch of screens listing files needing install and more screens of files needing removal.When I went the what-the-**** route, I wound up with 100 files needing install and I quit before finding how many needing uninstall.What's my move, please?

Bruno Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Sure you have the 2.6.12mdk . . . . but there are several colors of the 2.6.12mdk, in your case it is the 2.6.12-12mdksmp, and you want the one without the "smp" at the end.Now the Kmix . . . . . . this is very strange what you are describing . . . . what I would do is: # urpmi kdemultimedia-kmix --nodeps# urpmi libkdemultimedia1-kmix --nodeps This will not care about the dependencies nor remove any packages :DB) BrunoPS: Please show me again "cat /etc/modprobe.conf" . . .

albrtijo Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Is it by chance a HT (Hyper Threading) P4, that might explain the smp kernel.Yes, Barry, it's Pentium 4, Hyper Threading, but this is about the fourth install of this free2006 (I goof up a lot.) on thiis Sony desktop and the first time "smp" has shown up. As far as I know, for what that's worth.But now, on to Kmix.albrtijo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albrtijo Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Sure you have the 2.6.12mdk . . . . but there are several colors of the 2.6.12mdk, in your case it is the 2.6.12-12mdksmp, and you want the one without the "smp" at the end.Now the Kmix . . . . . . this is very strange what you are describing . . . . what I would do is: # urpmi kdemultimedia-kmix --nodeps# urpmi libkdemultimedia1-kmix --nodeps This will not care about the dependencies nor remove any packages :DB) BrunoPS: Please show me again "cat /etc/modprobe.conf" . . .

Bruno Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Sorry it was the other way around: # urpmi --allow-nodeps kdemultimedia-kmix # urpmi --allow-nodeps libkdemultimedia1-kmix If you get a question if it should continue without checking dependencies say Y . . .in this case you should not get the "One of the following packages is needed:" anymore.
