Thanks to Marvin with his suggestion following two lines: A) closing COMM channels by: $ sudo ifconfig eth0 down (using kernel 2.6.21.0-22) B) running agrmodem under 2.6.24-19-generic by: downloading agrsm-ubuntu8.04.1-2.6.24-19-generic.tar.gz and installing IMPORTANT NOTE: ALSA15 GIVES NO SOUND! THEREFORE, I MADE THE UPDATE TO ALSA16 RUNNING 2.6.24-16-generic. TODAY I MADE KERNEL UPDATE TO 2.6.24-19-generic. THERE IS STILL SOUND! -------------------------------------------- A) produced the following output: marigold7@Lenovo:~$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down marigold7@Lenovo:~$ wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot set information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT01936844 --> Waiting for carrier. ATDT01936844 NO DIALTONE --> No dial tone. --> Disconnecting at Sun Aug 3 21:14:50 2008 marigold7@Lenovo:~$ There is indeed no sound running 2.6.21.0-22! I am not able to do the ALSA update for it (no headers, I do not know the proper commands). I do not prefer to use this old kernel. ------------------------------------- B) the setup (done after the kernel update - the sound is still well) produced the following output: $ sudo ./setup [sudo] password for marigold7: Drivers to be installed are: agrmodem.ko agrserial.ko snd-hda-intel.ko installing drivers for kernel version 2.6.24-19-generic Saving existing driver to /root/ snd-hda-intel.ko Copying snd-hda-intel.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko Making folder /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/extra Copying drivers to extra Drivers agrmodem.ko agrserial.ko and snd-hda-intel.ko should next be displayed -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1817731 2008-08-04 15:41 /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/extra/agrmodem.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 159344 2008-08-04 15:41 /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/extra/agrserial.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2056474 2008-08-04 15:41 /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko Checking dependencies, will take a while. Report any warnings to Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To test a modem with the 11c11040 chip, reboot to enable loading of the new snd-hda-intel driver. Likely it will not be possible to unload your running driver. Follow instructions of agrsm_howto.txt, starting at 1) For other modem chips, rebooting may not be necessary. Do: $ sudo modprobe agrmodem $ sudo modprobe agrserial and dynamic creation of the modem port should be created. Read the agrsm_howto.txt for follow through details. I followed the agrsm_howto.txt, but I am confused and I need your help in what to do (please, give commands). 1.) the command cat /proc/asound/version results in: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.16. Compiled on Jun 18 2008 for kernel 2.6.24-19-generic (SMP). 2.) search results for "hda_codec.c": /usr/src/modules/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.16/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_codec.c /usr/src/modules/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.16/pci/hda/hda_codec.c I modified /usr/src/modules/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.16/pci/hda/hda_codec.c by adding EXPORT_SYMBOL(snd_hda_codec_read) EXPORT_SYMBOL(snd_hda_codec_write) Should I also modify the other hda_codec.c in /usr/src/modules/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.16/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/? 3.) there is no folder /usr/src/linux to rebuild and install the new modules. search results for "snd-hda-intel.ko": /lib/modules/2.6.21.0-22/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko /usr/src/modules/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.16/modules/snd-hda-intel.ko /usr/src/modules/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.16/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko snd-hda-intel.ko is absent in 2.6.24-19-generic! In which folder I should rebuild and install the new modules? ---------------------------------- What about the situation concerning alsa-driver-1.0.16 (updated from 1.0.15 under kernel 2.6.24-16-generic)? Today, I updated to kernel 2.6.24-19-generic doing a complete system update (it was about 245 MB). What should I do now???
