...thanks [again] andrew. yes, i saw the annotations via google, and, 
under suse 10 (i use debian!) the machine seems to be supported by the 
same hplip version as under etch (which i am using as production 
machine). so: taken together with your advice i am convinced and will 
buy the hp psc2575 within the hour (it's morning here)..




kind regards,



steef

If the debian install used ext2/3 then there is a driver for windows XP 
(http://www.fs-driver.org/) which will allow direct access to the 
partitions without the need to boot a live CD.

The two related bugs in the BTS seem to be about "experimental" versions
of flashplugin-nonfree. Which version are you trying to install? Version
9.0.48.0.2 works fine on my Sid/amd64 system, without any need for a
32bit chroot.

This statement is a bit confusing. Did you install flashplayer in a
32bit chroot or not? 



I think we might have a misunderstanding here: The nspluginwrapper
package provides a means to run i386 plugins on other architectures
without having to install a 32bit chroot on your system. If you use a
32bit chroot to run i386 binaries then you have to set up the chroot
yourself first and then you can install the i386 debs in it. This used
to be necessary for the flash-plugin on amd64, but now it is not
required anymore.

Confused? Frustrated?X

I see the same on my system, so I think this should be OK.

No, the dependency is satisfied because util-linux provides linux32:



$ apt-cache show util-linux | grep Provides
Provides: schedutils, linux32

Thanks. I added a message to the bug report (432678), so, hopefully, the
maintainer will now be aware of this.



Meanwhile, you could try my workaround [1] for Etch:



"The problem in alsaconf is the result of the presence of the file
/etc/modprobe.conf. This causes /etc/modprobe.d/ to be ignored by Debian
packages (including alsaconf) which store their configuration files in
/etc/modprobe.d/. The permanent solution is to move /etc/modprobe.conf out of
the way. Do not delete it just in case there are modules listed in it by other
applications that you may need to know about if those applications start
misbehaving. Rename the file instead:



 # mv /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.obsolete



Now run alsaconf again and everything should work."

I can suggest you, if you have 2 PC and you use IPv4, to try netio
http://freshmeat.net/projects/netio/

You need to compile this old program. But i used to test connection=20
speed between my machines and it worked pretty good.



Hope this helps

to etch laptop.

Something I found interesting...PCLinuxOS out of the ones listed below =

I noticed it's the only one that has IO-APIC-level rather than =

actually i am using Woody on that particular machine with a 2.4 kernel.
 at the moment i forget "why" i went with Woody... maybe at the time it
was "testing"?



probably in the near future i will go a "debian from scratch" route and
see how well i can get the little thing working.  i no longer use it for
my day-to-day and now it sees most of its time wirelessly streaming
music from my server.


Don't know where to look next?X

You could check that /etc/modprobe.d exists.



Have you tried running udevtrigger as user root? This is from bug no 430624 [1]:



# udevtrigger --verbose



"This should reload the modules you need. On next reboot, your system will find
your soundcard. The module management is done by udev. You should not need to
use alsaconf any more."


Do you need more help?X
