full duplex sound

1999-06-09 Thread trapstep
Hi!
i've got a problem:
i want to use speak-freely to phone over the net. i have two comps, one with a 
creative sb16 pnp (using sb-driver), the other with an onboard CMI8330 
soundchip (using ad1848 and sb driver). half-duplex sound operations work 
fine, but i have got no idea how to use fullduplex sound. does one of the 
drivers support it? and which devices do i have to use?
any help appreciated

Real Server Basic G2 does not stream from WWW-links

1998-12-14 Thread trapstep
Hi out there!

I set up the free Real-Server G2 on my machine. It works fine, but whenever
i click at my browser a link to: >>rtsp://...:554/...rm<< he (the browser)
tries to open >>http://.../rstp://.../...rm<< and this actually doesn´t
work. if i enter the corrct URL directly, he doesn´t find the host
>>rstp...<<. Why doesn´t he recognize rstp as protocol?
I hope anybody could help me, because at the moment the only chance to
stream the content (some hiphop-mixes, if interesting) is to use
File->OpenLocation at RealPlayer and enter this:
>>137.226.143.161/WB1-Hasy.rm<<.
TIA for every help...


rsync problem

1999-05-10 Thread trapstep
Hi!
I've got a problem with rsync. my wish:
i want to get all binary-i386 packages of the potato distribution from
ftp.de.debian.org.
so i set up an includes file as follows:
- **/
- **/*
+ dists/potato/
+ dists/potato/*
+ dists/potato/*/
+ dists/potato/*/*
+ dists/potato/*/binary-i386/
+ dists/potato/*/binary-i386/*
+ dists/potato/*/binary-i386/*/
+ dists/potato/*/binary-i386/*/*   

and then typed the following:
rsync -vaunR --include-from= ftp.de.debian.de::debian .

but rsync only tells me "nothing to do for client" :-(
What do i do wrong? which includes/excludes should i use?

TIA trapstep

Why do you use the pipe command?
Simply type somthing like:
alias mcd='mount /dev/hdb /cdrom ; cd /cdrom'
and, if your cdrom is mentioned in /etc/fstab, you do not need to specify
the device everytime you want to mount it but only 'mount /cdrom'

For a shell script, you would encounter the same prob if you use the
pipe-command.

Re: Changed CDROM hdd to hdb

1999-05-26 Thread trapstep
hi!
normally, your cdrom device is linked to /dev/cdrom
so you should relink it to the new device:
rm /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom

apt-get problem: /usr not in fstab

1999-05-26 Thread trapstep
Hi!

i tried to update some packages (kde) with apt-get. apt fetched the files
without probs (except that it said: lockd: failed to monitor 192.168.1.1) but
when it tries to install them, i get the following output:

Fetched 2715kb in 6m26s (7030b/s)
mount: can't find /usr in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
W: Not using locking for nfs mounted lock file /big/cache/apt/archives/lock
E: Problem executing scripts DPkg::Pre-Invoke 'mount -o remount,rw /usr'
E: Sub-process returned an error code

i don't even understand why apt/dpkg wants to remount sth thats isn't mounted,
for me, it seems like a bug in dpkg 
BTW i'm using apt0.3.6 and dpkg1.4.1.1 on a potato distro

TIA

i got  at least the i386 images from one of the std-mirrors (one of the german

[no subject]

1999-10-12 Thread trapstep
Hi list!

I have some serious trouble using my Epson GT5000 scsi scanner. I use it with 
an aha1510b ISA adapter (aha152x-driver). There are two harddisk attched 
internally, one is active terminated. The scanner is attached via a 1m long 
hd50->centronics cable and on the sub-d25 port of the scanner i attached an 
active terminator. Then i tried to scan with xsane. the preview was no problem,
but when i tried to do the full scan, it stopped after doing half of the scan 
and i had to kill xsane manually. A minute later the whole system was halted. 
no more reactions to keyboard events, network accesses, anything but the 
resetbutton :-((
So i attached the scanner to my other box, equipped with an Advance 
2941UW-controller (SYM53C8XX-driver), via a hd86->Centronics cable. and scanning
was no problem at all.
Both boxes run up-to-date potato-dist, so i think the only different sw involved
is the scsi-driver.

Any ideas are appreciated. TIA

terror with adaptec aha1510b :-(

1999-10-12 Thread trapstep
Hi all!

I have Matsonic MS6260S board with a k6-2 300, 64megs of ram, an adaptec 
aha1510b
isa scsi controller, a micropolis 9GB (3391av) hd (active terminated), an ibm 
dcas 3GB and an epson gt5000 scsi scanner connected via 1 meter hd50->centronics
cable + active terminator on the scanners sub-d 25 port. i set the controllers 
termination to auto and this seems to work fine. since i installed the
controller i was not able to make the driver use a dma channel for it. i think 
this is the reason why i get no more than 750KB/s from the harddrive, but it 
worked without problems (except the speed) before installing the scanner.
now, when i want to scan sth (with xsane), preview functions properly, but when
i wanted to do the full scan, it does the half and then xsane locked up. one min
later the whole system hung and did not react anymore to any events (keyboard,
mouse, net) but the resetbutton :-(
but whats the reason? could it be related to the dma problem, or having sth to 
do with parity? i think termination is fine, cause if i enable controller-
termination, the scanner is not found anymore, but when controller termination
is set to auto, its found.
i tested the scanner on another computer with exactly the same configuration
(hw&sw, except of the motherboard (asus p5ab), scsi-controller (Advance 
aha2941uw),
and the external scsi-cable), and it worked fine under LinuX and windoze98/nt.
any ideas?
TIA Stefan Bunse
