ubuntu - where is the damn file which tells me...

What modules are loaded at boot!!!

Im playing with Arch atm & am having sound issues. Basically, ubuntu works with mumble and teamspeak flawlessly.

Arch doesn't seem to like my microphone, as I know it works flawlessly in ubuntu I'm assuming its something I havent set right in arch.

My first port of call is to work out what sound modules ubuntu loads, then copy it into ARch.

Does ubuntu 8.10 use ALSA same as Arch?

lsmod, of course.

Beware copying binary modules if you don't know what dependencies there are.

EDIT: It's not a file, it's a command, in case there might be confusion about that.

oh ok, in arch theres a file where it executes them at boot.

It's /etc/modules

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

fuse
lp
rtc
sbp2

lsmod obviously tells you what is eventually running once you have booted.

so yashiro, is it gonna implode arch if I copy the sound related modules into my arch rc.conf?

I can always set them to default if it cries....

 

[yashiro]

Probably wont work too well but it won't cause any serious unfixable damage.
Arch rips off BSD and just whacks everything into rc.conf doesn't it, yeah.

Is the issue even module based? Don't forget that Ubuntu uses the monolithic kernel approach and has a lot compiled in by default.
Virtually nothing tends to be loaded as modules after the fact.

lol yes your right, booted back into ubuntu and /etc/modules has 3 generic things in it.

oh poo, I had a brainwave and thought ubuntu would hold the key...

hmmm need to think y my mic doesnt work well in arch...
