Re: [Wlug] /dev/sequencer problems

Yes, I'm using devf, and devfsd.conf exists, although it's mandrake's default. No, /dev/sequencer doesn't exist; should've checked that first. How would I see that it's created and bound to my sound-card?

does the device file exist ? if it does, are the permissions set properly on it ? are you using devfs ? if you are, did you set up /etc/devfsd.conf ? -mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wesley T Allen" <wallen(a)charter.net> To: "wlug" <wlug(a)mail.wlug.org> Sent: Friday, August 23, 2002 21:28 Subject: [Wlug] /dev/sequencer problems > Hi all, > I'm full of problems this week.

python regular expressions

by Brad Noyes

Hi All, I'm starting to learn python. I was looking for a python equivalent to a perl regular expression such as $_ = "FreeBSD"; /(.*)BSD/; where $1 would get what ever is between '(...)', 'Free' in this case. Is there a way i can make use of the () regex operator in python? I can't seem to find an equivalent in python's regex module (re). Thanks, --brad

/dev/sequencer problems

by Wesley T Allen

Hi all, I'm full of problems this week. Hopefully this'll have a successful ending as well! Any time I try to open a midi file, I get an error "can't open /dev/sequencer" it doesn't matter what desktop I'm in (sometimes I hate arts); and I can't figure this out. Anyone got an idea? Wes

RE: [Wlug] orinoco driver

I've got a question relating to this. I've got a netgear wireless card also. The card is detected and i can plug and play with it but I can't seem to get it set and essid. First off, I'm not sure which config it reading from /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts. I've tried manually configuring it with iwconfig, it accepts the WEIP key, however it will not accept my essid. I've tried typing iwconfig essid "WPI-Wireless-Network", but it doesn't seem to keep it. Once I put it in and type iwconfig again, it says ESSID="". Anyone have any ideas.

(Although I use SuSE 8.0, I believe the description below is distribution agnostic). Try this as root: # cardctl ident Note the "manfid" line.
