and never had any issues re ubuntu - overall its battery catch has broken which

tad flimsy and the keyboard's a bit springy. The laptop insid

Hi, Jacob.
OK, but...
Using slapd.conf
It is possible to fall back to the old config method with a slapd.conf config

I checked the light: both wireless and adsl light where on during
disconnection.
I tried to check the temperature but I think I need to upgrade my router
first: i cannot find the option. Plus I don't think it is the case as I
reboot every day: it's off for most of the day. Though maybe i'm wrong.
