 damn'd swaret Upgraded today (do it often) with Swaret. Sound card was working fine w/ ALSA prior to upgrade. [This is a system with a non-working motherboard sound chip and also a separate sound card -- ALSA had been seeing and using the card.] Had good sound when KDE loaded, playing CDs and had sound from web sites (i.e., pbs.org). With the "upgraded" ALSA sound isn't working and alsaconfg isn't finding anything. I get errors when I run alsaconf but they go by too quickly to read. I thought swaret had a rollback feature but it isn't seen in --help now. Is there a config file I should blow away or one I should manually configure? Don      |

Just reinstall the official ALSA packages for Slackware Linux : $ su - root # mount /mnt/cdrom # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new /mnt/cdrom/slackware/*/alsa-*tgz > Is there a config file I should blow away or one I should manually > configure? /etc/swaret.conf -- LiNuCe |

Swaret can be a quite usefull tool when 1) it is properly configured and 2) it only uses official Slackware packages (with GPG footprint checking). However, I admit that I don't use it (I prefer the standard Slackware tools to manage softwares). -- LiNuCe |

IIRC the kernel upgrades are excluded by default in swaret. Been awhile though, since I used it. Don't forget to edit lilo.conf Read the changelog. |

Unfortunately alsa needs to be compiled for a specific kernel so if you upgrade alsa and not the kernel then sound does not work. This is a problem with alsa not swaret. Ian |
