Something like rwxr-xr-x. If not, do chmod +x alsa-info.sh Then type ./alsa-info.sh --no-upload and hit enter. If you are in an xterm, the output will scroll by. Then use the mouse to select the output, and click edit->copy on the xterm.

As far as I know, this is a user level script. When I've run it, I have needed no other authority than being logged in. You can avoid all of this by just clicking on the link. It should run, put your sound information on the web server, and give you a link you can post back here so other people can look at it. The server is set up to delete it after 30 days, so it won't be out there forever. I suppose that is a reason to paste the information into the email, so future searchers of the archives get to see the information as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
