Hi everyone,
I have recently installed YDL4 on my G4 1GHZ imac (
768 mb ram) and have been playing with it lately but I have had some
little problems with it.
Firstly, I can't seem to get any sound as I previously encountered with
version 3, I get a message as follows " Error while initializing sound
driver" SNDCTL_DSP_SETMT failed Sound server continues using the null
output device. When using the Music Player I also get the message ALSA
device "defAULT" does not exist.
Secondly, I am trying to mount my MacOSX partition and "Hfsutils" was
not installed so I copied it from the number three cd of YDL and used
the rpm -i command to install it , I got the message it was already
installed after I repeated the operation so therefore I did the
modprobe hfsutils command but nothing was detected.
Anyone have any suggestions? I gave up using YDL 3 for these very
reasons but at least now I can connect to the internet as I recently
acquired cable broadband which just works!
T.I.A.
John.
