3 1/2 new questions

........................................................
1) The first time I booted after installing Etch and the first time I
booted after a test restore of my system, I got the following error box:
No volume control elements and/or devices found
run gst-register
I can't find any "gst-resister" on the system or in packages???
I don't have any speakers plugged in, but do have headphones plugged
that just provide static. Sometimes when I do something wrong in
Terminal I hear a faint beep from inside the CPU :-X
.........................................................
2) How is log rotation setup. Are they auto jobs like on my Mac, or do
I need to setup something?
.........................................................
3) Before I get too far along, I created a system image on DVD with
Mondo and as a test went through the actual restore. All seems well,
but I want to be sure my RAID1 is still running properly now. I can't
seem to find where to look???
.........................................................
3.5) The steps below are how I used mondoarchive and mondorescue. If
you're familiar with the package, please make any comments about my use
of the package you feel are appropriate :-)

I don't know gst-register, but apt-cache knows it:
$ apt-cache search gst-register
libgstreamer0.8-0 - Core GStreamer libraries, plugins, and utilities
So install the package libgstreamer0.8-0

For various standard log files (e.g. from the kernel and many other
packages) this is done automatically. This is handled by the
logrotate package, which has priority 'important', so it should
normally have been installed on your system.
Have a look at /etc/logrotate.conf and files that various packages put
in /etc/logrotate.d
For more info, see the man page of logrotate.

Thanks Maurits,
I have all the issues worked out now, except where to find verification
that RAID1 is still actively doing its thing after I tested a mondo
system restore.
