I suspect the module is not being inserted. I have zero experience with this scanner, so this is just my guess. Do you know what module it used under mandriva? possibly its in non-free and/or needs to be built using module assistant.

System sounds work but can not get sound to work in BBC News (real play) or sound to work in Youtube. Sound system is ALSA and Card is Realteck AC97 now running Lenny but had the same problem in Etch. Wonder if i have left something out? Any suggestions welcome. Jeff

I use afraid.org for 6 domains and have been using their service since 2001. Excellent service. Recommend it to anyone who wishes to use free or cheap DNS services.

Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2007 09:36:35 +0200 From: Philipp Marek <philipp@marek.priv.at> To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Compiling all packages with debug information? Message-Id: <200710060936.35149@x5> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hello everybody, as I'm running unstable I sometimes find bugs in applications. Now it would be very nice if there was some way to get the matching debug information for the packages, so gdb could print a better backtrace, or eg. show exactly which line segfaults. Currently I'd have to recompile the packages myself, and installing them over the debian files - which is, depending on the package and its prerequisites, a major hazzle. How about compiling all programs with debugging information, and strip them into a "-dbginfo" package, or something likewise for "apt-get source"? Like the "-dev" packages only people who think they need them would install them. This would be a good help for determining the location of problems, and would cost the debian maintainers not so much. Other ideas? Regards, Phil -- Versioning your /etc, /home or even your whole installation? Try fsvs (fsvs.tigris.org)!

>=20 RMS wanted Debian to have -dbg packages for every package, but because of the effort involved (10,000 source package x 11 architectures), only a handful of 'more important' packages have them. You can ask the package maintainer to create one, since you are doing it to improve Debian. And where would Debian be without help users? I'm not sure if it is prefered to just email the maintainer or file a 'wishlist' bug in the BTS or both? --=20 | .''`. =3D=3D Debian GNU/Linux =3D=3D | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org | |join the new debian-community.org to help Debian! | |_______ Unless I ask to be CCd, assume I am subscribed _______|

That indicates a problem with iceweasel itself, rather than with X11 forwarding. It sounds similar to the following bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=411479 -- Liam

Add scipy to that list. The scientific extension to the python language. Oli

Don't know where to look next?X

If you need to script that you can use Perl e.g. #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use HTML::TreeBuilder 2.97; use LWP::UserAgent; parse_contents (get_page()); sub get_page { my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new ; $ua->credentials( 'dsl:80', # note 1 'Linksys BEFW11S4', # note 2 'username', # DSL login user name 'passwd' # DSL login password ) ; my $request = HTTP::Request->new( GET => 'http://dsl/Status.htm' # note 3 ) ; my $response = $ua->request( $request ) ; unless($response->is_success) { warn "No response: ", $response->status_line, "\n"; return; } return $response->content ; } # notes: # 1 'dsl' in /etc/hosts is IP address (on private 192.168 network) # of my DSL box # 2 is string in web login box # "Enter username and password for Linksys BEFW11S4 ..." # 2 page containing public-facing IP address of DSL sub parse_contents { # this does the dirty work taking apart the HTML returned from the web page - this will be different for other routers my $page_contents = shift or die "No contents returned from page\n"; my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new(); $tree->parse($page_contents); my $table = ( $tree->look_down('_tag','table') )[3]; my $row = ( $table->look_down('_tag', 'tr' ) )[10]; my $inet_table = ( $row->look_down('_tag', 'td') )[0]; my $ipadd_row = ( $inet_table->look_down('_tag', 'tr' ) )[0]; #...then do things with $col3... my $ipadd_col = ( $ipadd_row->look_down('_tag', 'td' ) )[1]; #$ipadd_col->dump(); print "\t", $ipadd_col->as_text, "\n"; $tree->eof; }

What is the preferred method of starting an iptables script at boot time on Debian hosts?

I am wondering what the `debian way' to do this is.
