Yeah, and you've never taken flak from your boss from sending a truck out to go fix equipment that's functioning because everybody using the equipment in question is blocking ICMP, making it impossible to see if anything's making it to the "last mile." Having done tech support for @Home before, I can safely say people blocking ICMP cause support folk more frustration and grief than walking a customer through reinstalling a network adapter in Windows 2000 when the customer doesn't know how to use a mouse.

sndconfig problems: sound only works until reboot
Hello everybody, I have this problem: I'm installing & configuring Debian on an Compaq Presario 1245 - the last part is sound. I was told this computer has a ESS 1869 sound card. I searched on the web and found a few pages mentioning sndconfig. I gave it a try and got sound working using the Soundblaster config; The problem is, for some reason sound is NOT working when the computer is booted again. The only way I found to get it working again is, commenting out again, rebooting (otherwise sndconfig gives an error about /dev/audio which isn't telling me nothing except that somethings goes wrong) and running sndconfig again. Can anybody tell me what I should do to make the sound work allways ? Thanks very much Joris __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Bash completion no longer working...?
Running Debian unstable on my laptop, and testing on my home system,
bash completion on filenames has stuffed up some time recently. I see
no bugs in the BTS, has anyone else come across this?
I can complete on anything that has relevant functions defined in
/etc/bash_completion, but the lines between # START exclude, with the
complete -f -X entries, will hang the shell (with no beep) when I try
to tab complete. No more characters are accepted into bash until I
press ctrl-C.
If I 'set -vx' the shell, I get the following, when pressing TAB in a
directory that has an uptime.png file in it:
$ xv upt+ local IFS cur xspec
+ IFS=
+ COMPREPLY=()
+ cur=fac
+ _expand
+ '[' fac '!=' fac ']'
+ [[ fac == \~*/* ]]
+ [[ fac == \~* ]]
++ sed -ne '/ xv/{p;q;}'
sed's stdin seems almost to be attched to the terminal, at least
/proc/$sed-pid/fd/0 is a /dev/pts device...
I try typing in somehting, or pressing ctrl-d to simulate
end-of-stream, and nothing happens.
I tried reinstalling bash and everything that provided
/etc/bsah_completion.d, I tried downgrading it all to stable, etc, but
nothing has worked. I don't know what I changed or installed that
might have broken this. Any ideas?
Any more information, or things in my environment I should provide? I
am thinking this is not a bug, just a problem with my setup - probably
got plenty of 2 year old cruft sitting around the system messing
things up...

OK, that looks good. I don't have the history of this thread in front of

In that case, it looks like you may just need to rerun lilo to reinstall

I am researching but so far without success. Anyone know how to either change the cards to fit the kernel or the kernel to fit the card?

Re: Bash completion no longer working...?

Well, despite tackling this for several days, I find the problem almost as soon as posting. _filedir_xpec depends on having $BASH_COMPLETION set. That's fine. There is a declare -x BASH_COMPLETION=blah at the top of /etc/bash_completion. Lo and behold, when I open up a new shell, BASH_COMPLETION is not set, but BASH_COMPLETION_DIR is set. bash -x /etc/bash_completion tells me it is being set. I suppose we just chalk this up to another Heisenbug? So I just set it before running /etc/bash_completion - not a fix, but it works... -- TimC -- http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/staff/tconnors/ Confucius say: He who play in root, eventually kill tree. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
