[Solved] Installing different kernels

How can I install additional kernels for testing? In my attempt to figure out my USB problem, I'm exploring various kernels, older and newer, to see if there is one in particular that detects the USB ports correctly. Thus far I'm using live CD's which is a pain. When following the instructions for i...

Re: USB ports do not appear to function after LILO

Unfortunately neither setting autosuspend to -1 or upgrading the kernel to 4.4.19 has helped although the issue is definitely kernel related. SalixLive with kernel 2.6.33 plays fine with all the USB ports and detects them all. Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 De...

Re: USB ports do not appear to function after LILO

Thanks for the efforts Gapan. BIOS settings were the first place I looked although I hadn't changed any from 13.1. No luck there Most folks who have this problem try setting usbcore's autosuspend to -1 (never autosuspend). e.g. http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/91027/how-to-disable-usb-autosus...

Re: USB ports do not appear to function after LILO

I boot from the hard drive. I have the fluxbox flavour of 14.1 and lilo sends me to GDM and I log in and boot from that into X. The loss of function is apparent at GDM.

Just checking by booting Slacko 3.14.55 on a live CD and there no problems. All USB ports function fine.

USB ports do not appear to function after LILO

Hi all I have a Zotac Zbox with 6 USB ports: 2 dedicated to a USB DVD, one each for keyboard and mouse. In 13.1 I used the ports on the back of the machine for keyboard and mouse and the DVD with the front and side USB used for occasional peripherals like a webcam , printer, etc. Since loading 14.1,...

Re: Sudden loss of sound

Looks like it might be hardware after all Using a USB sound output device and changing the default card in .asoundrc I get sound, but using .asoundrc to direct to the onboard audio on card 0 gives me no joy. I tried using live cds of Ubuntu and Slacko and wasn't able to get sound, albeit I didn't dr...

Re: Sudden loss of sound

Sorry for the delay in responding. I thought I'd posted a response but see now it's not there. Jack audio is not really the central issue as I don't believe it's required by aplay etc. I was just trying to see, using Audacity, if my sound card may be misbehaving. I don't have pulse-audio installed. ...
