I could not run alsaconf until I located it; it was just not in my path,
it was there. /usr/sbin/alsaconf
12:48 p.m.
I said locate. Mandriva left it there on my system. If
he
did not locate it on his system. I ran: locate alsaconf
My system found it because I first ran:
updatedb
yes, I know locate. Unfortunately, there are distros which do
not install locate per default (namely SuSE).

SuSE
was locate and updatedb running while I wanted to work...
This was the reason why they removed it some time ago ;-) .
OTOH, they could have it installed but simply dropped the cron
job...

Well, I like it because it is much faster than find,
especially on large discs.
BTW: Right at the moment I let kat index my hard drive. I'm
curious about the results.

Sorry, wrong. On a working system updatedb should not slow down other

What exactly is the problem with updatedb running wile you're trying
work?

down other processes. If it does the scheduler is broken,

Some time passed since I used SuSE. I used it on a 200MHz
machine.
THe updatedb was invoked at 12PM, a time I usually still sit
in front of the computer.
As soon as it started, the machine simply turned unusable. THe
problem IMHO was disc IO which doesn't get influenced by
nice.
I heard rumors there *will* be a possibility to influence disc
IO priviledges, but as I used SuSE there was no possibility
to do so.

2005/8/1, Christoph Eckert <ce(a)christeck.de>de>:
My SuSE was on a P133 and a P3 1133Hz. And SuSE had this "great"
feature to run daily-cron ten minutes after booting or ten past four
in the morning.
Most times it hit me ten minutes after booting while I wanted to check
mails and do some serious work.
But I realised I just had to disable this one line in the cron-daily-scripts...

Nearest
thing there is alsactl
That's not what you need. You need alsaconf.
