Hello, I did the apt-get update and upgrade, but there was no change. I am running a new Debian "stable" 4.0r4a, from the KDE cd #1 install disk, so I don't know that there is a new kernel to upgrade too. I think Debian is known for not changing stable so much (well and I've never tried something like that before). Is there some kind of file or version info that I can collect to help? As far as I know I've followed all directions correctly. Here is a copy of my sources.list: # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r4a _Etch_ - Official i386 kde-CD Binary-1 20080803-21:28]/ etch contrib main # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r4a _Etch_ - Official i386 kde-CD Binary-1 20080803-21:28]/ etch contrib main deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free # regular updates for etch deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free # multimedia Christian Marillat (was: ftp.nerim.net) # deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main # deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main # etch backports deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free # unofficial http://www.debian-unofficial.org # deb http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian etch main contrib non-free restricted # deb-src http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian etch main contrib non-free restricted and some info about my kernel: scl1:/home/stephenc# uname -a Linux scl1 2.6.18-6-686 #1 SMP Mon Aug 18 08:42:39 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux > Stephen, > > # slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6 > is the correct command and you should be able to use it from your home older, > i.e., don't bother to > # cd /usr/sbin/ > > The problem with /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 > is I suspect some subtle versioning issue as we haven't encountered it before. > First check your settings in /etc/apt/sources.list > > Then from your ethernet connection do > $ sudo apt-get update > $ sudo apt-get upgrade. > Upgrade to a more recent kernel if your can also.
