Alsa 1.0.1 Stable


Owyn

Recommended Posts

Still reading. But PCLos PV5 has 1.0rc2, and, if Tom is nice maybe 1.0.1, with the security fix for the tmb kernel.
Will be glad waiting a few extra days for it to include the new Alsa . . . . :):) Bruno

Yep. But perfect is the enemy of good enough. Lots of other fixes that need to be widely tested.Got to leave something for PV6, and in any case, I guarantee you that there are two things that go on my HD install of PV5.kernel 2.6 andalsa 1.0.1 with latest utils

kernel-tmb-2.6.1-1.tmb.2mdk has hit the changelogs.

Thomas Backund <tmb@mandrake.org> 2.6.1-1.tmb.2mdk- bugfix for broken sound, me sux :-(- drop the alsa sysfs patch until all sysfs patches are added...
Give it a day to migrate to the mirrors.

And some info for nVidia users with this kernel.

kernel-tmb-2.6.0-1.tmb.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpmkernel-tmb-source-2.6.0-1.tmb.1mdk.i586.rpm wanted to let everyone know, everything is running stable, even nVidia drivers (with 2.6 patched nvidia-installer from http://www.sh.nu/download/nvidia/linux-2.6/ ).The above installers are critical! The stock nVidia installers will not work!You will want to rpm -e your old nVidia drivers, or, at cli:nvidia-installer --uninstallbefore you install the new source, and kernel.Note: to install the above (patched) nvidia-installer, you will first need to run:export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=trueMost nVidia users will be familiar with that, especially SUSE!One exception, which will not affect Via/nForce (don't know abou Ali) users, is that the SiS755 northbridge/agp bus is too new, even for this kernel. Agp is disabled, for now, but I'm only seeing about 10% performance hit. I usually get 2800fps with my GeForce2 GTS Pro, now I'm getting about 2500. Not too bad, considering that I'm finally running a 2.6 kernel, and there are a lot of (admittedly perceived) performance boosts.

Hi OwynYou could try:# rpm -ivh --nodeps dev-012-1mdk.i586.rpm And then the # rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.0.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpmB) Bruno

Concurrent Kscd and Xmms ok.Kmidi ok.Concurrent Kmidi and Xmms. Sort of ok. Single combo control (PCM) for both. Could not mix independently. Volume control on one app raised volume in other app.Kmid. No sound. Expected, there is no hw synth on this card, but, had to try it anyway.Lilo cleanly updated.

does alsa 1.0.1 require the 2.5 kernel?
No, but it has to be backported, to a 2.4 kernel. You could do it yourself, but, packaged versions should be available fairly quickly, eg: the tmb kernels. See the alsa site for instructions.Needed to get this done ASAP to prepare for testing with PCLos PV5.

You can expect at least one more near future update of this kernel. Known conflict with test loading scsi and usb modules.PS: Tx to Bruno got the following link to Cooker Contribs. It is slow (I get between 30-40KB from it) but it is the most likely source to have recent updates.ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/Mandrake-devel/contrib/i586Use it if you can not find tmb kernels on faster cooker contrib mirrors.PPS: As noted previously in the thread, the "stock" Mandrake 2.6 kernel includes Alsa 1.0.0rc2. Will post notice here when a Alsa1.0.1 stock kernel is available.

LOL.Just finished checking cooker mailing list. tmb "-4mdk is compiling right now". And I know of at least one other bug that tmb "will look into tomorrow".Just stay with the stock kernel for now. Seems reliable. I have it on my Desktop Mdk92 Linux system (the one I do most of my browsing and office functions from) and have not seen any problems so far. ie. It has gone to production use as far as I am concerned.Might want to start a lottery for which version it will be (7mdk??) before the tmb kernel gets to beta worthy. Still strictly alpha as far as I can see.

So I guess there is no much performance difference with the 2.6 test 9.4 kernel I still run on my test system . . . . . also no LM sensors yet ?:D Bruno

I held off putting 2.6 on my desktop system until it had gone stable. Recommend updating to the 2.6.0-1mdk kernel to:- get later (but not final) alsa- automatically pick up the fixes- go with a "standard" kernel config instead of the experimental config(s) that Olivier was using- support new cooker/2.6 packagesI am also planning to update the desktop system to the stock kernel2.6.1/alsa1.0.1 when available.As I said, I consider it to be ready for prime time now and I want to get as many hours on it as possible.Should be no measurable performance differencences.The tmb 2.6 kernels are strictly for test boxes (or live cds).I was going to try the tmb kernel on a HD install of PV4, but, have now put it on hold until PV5 available and tmb 2.6.1 stabilizes.My 2cents
. . . . . also no LM sensors yet ?
Correct. I expect them to be supported first with the tmb kernel.

My cooker install has 2.6.0-1 . . . and I think it´s slower then the MDK 9.2 with the 9.4 test kernel . . . . even booting takes longer, so I will hold on to the fast flying MDK 9.2 :D :DB) Bruno

I will run some tests on my test box. Will be interesting to see results. Later.
