This sounds like some modules do not get loaded automatically. You can
run



lsmod | grep snd


Do you need help?X

to compare the situation before and after you run alsaconf. My guess is
that snd_pcm_oss is missing. A quick test is to run



modprobe snd_pcm_oss



as root; this may restore your audio without running alsaconf. You can
add missing modules to /etc/modules to have them loaded automatically at
boot time.

Check if the file /etc/cups/printers.conf exists; if it does exist then
you should post it here so we can have a look. WATCH OUT: This file can
contain clear-text usernames and passwords! Change those to generic
placeholders ("USERNAME", "PASSWORD") before posting the file.

Hi,

I've got the following systems, all connected to the local network:

A: Running Debian Etch, no printer connected
B: Running Debian Etch, Epson Stylus C86 connected & published
C: Running Debian Sid, Canon IP 4200 connected & published
D: Running Debian Etch, no printer connected

A sees all the printers in the network and is able to print on them,
the same goes for B. C only sees the IP 4200 (and can print on it),
while D seems to have absolutely no clue where to print.

I just set this up using the webinterface from CUPS, published those
printers and asked it to show published printers from other systems -
this worked for A and B.

Now my question: How can I make the two printers be visible on D and
the Epson Stylus be shown on C?

There seems to be absolutely no information about this in the net,
thus I'd really welcome any hints available.

Greetings,

Claudius

NICs are so cheap, just add a second one.  Sure, its possible, but to
what end?  The packets will only flow through the debian box if
everything else agrees to do so.  That will only happen untill something
is rooted.  A dog off-lease responding to voice commands is not under
controll but suggestion; neither when a squirrel runs by.

Read /usr/share/doc/exim4-doc-html/html/spec_html/ch14.html 

section 14.13 on tls_on_connect_ports

with full details in 14.23.

Basically, everything you need to know is in the spec document.  But it
is huge.  I can't really read it vicariously for you since only you have
talked with your ISP.

Doug.

Popcon shows 46 installations of the rt2400 driver, so I suspect at
least one rt2400 user is subscribed to this list.  Please can one of you
offer to test new packages?

I found that a lot of people either don't know about that or just want
to keep customers. So TRUE you don't have any legal reason that allows
you get your money back. But on the other hand bugging your vendor
enough with questions and explanations will make him think twice about
loosing a customer (I tend to avoid large stores and go to a vendor I
trust (in terms of that her recommendations are good, not in terms of
privacy in the first place)

Ok, that seemed to work ok. Here is what uname -a produces:

Linux precision 2.6.18-5-486 #1 Fri Jun 1 00:07:22 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

vs the kernel on the hard drive, which is:

Linux precision 2.6.18-5-686 #1 SMP Fri Jun 1 00:47:00 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

The only difference I see is the SMP - which as mentioned, I have tried
disabling with a 'nosmp' argument.

Tried that, but it didn't seem to have any effect. There was no
/etc/modprobe.conf to start with, so I created one with the line
you suggested. But I'm not sure how to tell if the system is
paying any attention to it at all...

I expected this to be the more likely solution, as the hard disk drivers
will obviously need to be loaded before any modules can be loaded from
hard disk...

Havn't tried it yet - it will be next on my agenda...

In order to try and decide once and for all if it is the AIC-7890 that
is causing the problem, I tried disabling it in the bios and re-installing
onto an external usb drive. Unfortunately the bios doesnt know how to boot
from usb, but I figured I could get around it by installing grub on a
floppy. But unfortunately that didn't seem able to access the usb drive
either, so the only way I could test it was booting of the install CD
and going into rescue mode, forking a shell chrooted into the usb system.

I'm not sure how complete the resulting environment is (I had to manually
mount /proc before I could do a ps), but I was able to run 'startx' and
for the first time (since the obsolete 5.04 Ubuntu) I saw X come completely
up!! The only thing that didn't work for some reason was the mouse - but I
am putting that down to some incompleteness in the chrooted environ,

That explains why my neive approach didn't work. Which is good, because it
means there is still hope that the no_probe parameter will fix things once
I get it installed...

One thing that puzzles me at the moment though, is that I didn't pass
the 'aic7xxx.aic7xxx=no_probe' option to the rescue system, which seems
to be working ok.

That suggests to me that the problem may be a kernel difference and not
necessarily the scsi driver. I suppose I need to find a way to boot
properly onto the installed kernel with the scsi disabled to be sure...

Hello,

I installed Debian Etch but have no sound at all.
Previous Fedora installation gave sounds so probably my Etch is missing some 
setup.
Drivers looks correctly installed as 'lsmod' shows following drivers :
..
snd_hda_intel          17332  3
snd_hda_codec         137856  1 snd_hda_intel
snd_pcm_oss            38368  0
snd_mixer_oss          15200  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm                68676  4 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              20996  2 snd_pcm
..

Is there tool (ie. like system-config-sound) to setup and check sound setup ?
Thanks for any help.

Bye,
Bruno

Hi,

debmirror fails when given the following command:

/usr/bin/debmirror \
 --verbose --host=ftp.debian.org \
 --root=debian/ --method=http --progress \
 --passive --dist=sid --arch=none \
 --ignore-release-gpg --section=main \
 --pdiff=none \
 /home/wena/sid

The errors it prints are the following:

there are several possible things:

1. you aren't in the audio group (adduser <you> audio, log out and
   back in).

2. your mixer is set to 0 volume. run alsamixer and review all the
   settings.

3. despite the apparently correct modules being inserted, sometimes it
   just doesn't work out of the box. If the above things don't work,
   you could try modprobe -r all the sound modules, then do a
   udevtrigger to reload them and see what happens.=20

if none of the above help, post back up as there are several people
who are very adept at solving sound issues here.

I just upgraded the following packages this morning from testing:

[UPGRADE] console-data 2:1.02-2 -> 2:1.03-1
[UPGRADE] dictionaries-common 0.85.2 -> 0.86.2
[UPGRADE] razor 2.810-2 -> 1:2.84-1

I am using MIMEDefang with Sendmail to do mail filtering.  Here is a 
copy of one of those logs from MIMEDefang:

Oct 28 04:15:02 apple mimedefang.pl[12585]: greylist: white; 0; 
82.118.211.*; dovecot-bounces@dovecot.org; *@stikman.com;

Those are put into my /var/log/maillog log file.

After the upgrade, the above log line looks like this:

Oct 28 09:44:18 apple check[5889]: greylist: white; 0; 70.103.162.*; 
bounce-debian-user=jeff=stikman.com@lists.debian.org; *@stikman.com;

And, the lines are now put in /var/log/messages.

If you notice it says the process is now check instead of mimedefang.pl 
sending the output.  How come that changed?  I have restarted mimedefang 
and sysklogd, but no change.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff
