APM suspend lost! (mypost: 4octrl3)

Hi I don't know what caused it, but my laptop won't come out of APM suspend. The laptop is a Dell Lattitude C640, running Etch, with the 2.6.12 kernel. The grub menu tells the kernel to not use ACPI (it doesn't work with bios), and apm --suspend works fine. But when I open the lid/press the bu

synaptic, aptitude and dselect etc. (myref: rl3b26may)

Hi I've long favoured the synaptic package manager because it's easy to search the packages, and it's clear what's going to be installed (dependencies etc) and easy to select packages. However, I had to use aptitude and dselect (yuk) recently on another system and noticed that they would REMO

no i didn't really frustrating. I've been on the samba list, but they didn't want to know. I'm gleaning that it may be a kernel bug, but then I've tried different kernels and got the same problem. thanks for keeping the thread alive... rich -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] wit

smbfs causing kernel hang

Hi I'm desperate to find the right mailing list but I can't find anything on the 'net, the only place I found was a dead sourceforge site. no-one on this list can help and I appreciate that it might not be the right list. I tried the samba list but they told me samba is not smbfs list and I sh

I lost the reply to this originally, so this may appear as a new posting (soz!) I'd written: I have a Woody box running ssh. I can remotely access it no problems using linux, but try from WinSCP and I can only log in as root! For other users it won't authenticate the password. Any ideas? And

Re: VIA sound problem

I had problems too. The kernel kept loading the oss modules, which meant that the alsa ones didn't work. I took advice from somewhere on the net, which said the way to stop it was to edit /etc/discover.conf and put a line skip via82xxx_audio which means it will never use that module. Then alsac

samba hangs

Samba talking to samba, sarge-to-sarge. I use smbmount //server/share mymountpt -oguest which connects fine, but it all dies (hangs) if I try to look in that mounted directory with konqueror in kde OR nautillus in gnome. In dmesg of the server computer I get: smb_proc_readdir_long: error=-512,

hang with gnome and samba.

If I open a nautillus window on a mount point with a smbmount set up on it, samba goes mad and locks up, with timeout messages in dmesg (1) which never end, and the terminal will freeze/hang, and you can't smbumount it etc. Any program (eg. ls (2)) which then tries to look at the directory which

Re: problems using JACK

Thanks for responses. I had seen the Jack page, which as you say, was easy to find. But I'd been having problems with clients connecting to it when not run as root, rather than difficulties with realtime. Bizarely these seem to have vanished and it now works...for the mo! related question, ALSA

problems using JACK

First, is it right that you pretty much have to run jack (and therefore all audio apps) as root? I can't get it started as any other user - it starts but the clients can't find it. Second, is there anyway to get Arts to use Jack? (and then, any way to get ESD to use it?) Call me radical, but
