Verily I say unto thee, that Jim spake thusly: > I wanted to remove and reinstall Alsa-* Uninstalling and reinstalling software rarely fixes problems, at least not on real operating systems like Linux. That's a Windows trait. Better by far to examine your configuration files for errors (~/.asoundrc /etc/alsa/alsa.conf /etc/modprobe.conf) and/or run system-config-soundcard and/or gnome-sound-properties. If an installed package really *has* become corrupted somehow, you can determine that without uninstalling it, thus: rpm -Vv alsa-lib An explanation of the results is in "man rpm" In the "VERIFY OPTIONS" section. Generally speaking, if you see nothing but dots "." in the first column, then there's no problem. -- K. http://slated.org .---- | 'When it comes to knowledge, "ownership" just doesn't make sense' | ~ Cory Doctorow, The Guardian. http://tinyurl.com/22bgx8 `---- Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) on sky, running kernel 2.6.23.8-63.fc8 21:28:13 up 118 days, 18:04, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.01 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
