Re: Gnome Sound Problems Continued
Arlen Carlson wrote: Well I'm making progress on my Gnome sound problem...seems that esd is at fault. If I kill the esd process I get my sound back under Gnome. The big question is why? And how did this problem start? How do I prevent esd from running under Gnome, or do I need it? in the GNOME menu go to: settings-multimedia-sound then you can disable the esd. alternately you can right click on the panel then go to: applets-multimedia-sound monitor which will put an applet on the panel that if you right click on you can suspend the esp. You should also read the GNOME manual on sound. I think I remember it saying that sound that works through the esd and sound that does not (i.e. controls the sound card directly) may conflict. There are also GNOME mailling lists where people would be better suited to answering your question. good luck, Andy __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

I do think your right that it adds them to /etc/modules because it showed that my nm256 was already configured, but, the man page looks like this tool is more powerful than *just* adding them to the /etc/modules file. thanks again, Andy _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: simple network card setup (netgear 10/100 tulip)
HI Jeff, I've got the same card and for me it worked right out of the box. I guess that doesn't help, but: If you think the CD you have is bad look at the checksums (md5sum I think). Try a clean install and don't do anything to the modules when prompted (I left them alone and it worked). There shouldn't be an eth0. The pcmcia stuff (sorry I forget which stuff but read the how-to) takes care of brining up an interface when needed. There shouldn't be an eth0 because this would confuse the system. Hope at least some of this was helpful, Andy Jeff Davis wrote: I have been reading docs all day but I cannot figure this one out. Note that I am used to Redhat/Mandrake, and I don't know as much as I would like to about Debian. I have a Netgear 10/100 card. I am sure it works, and I have used the same type of card with other distros. In it's linux.txt it describes an object file called tulip.o, which I assume to be the same as in the Debian distro (I am using 2.2). I tried first to do modprobe tulip and I get an error from insmod (I think modprobe is just a higher-level version of insmod, but I am not sure of this. I tried both) like device or resource busy and then something about how I might try changing the parameters. I have no /dev/eth* devices at all in my system. When I try to load the tulip module during the initial install I get the same insmod error (but before it asks for parameters). I recorded the CDs, so I am not sure of their integrity. I tried copying files, etc, but it won't be easy to get the good CDs (I think the downloaded ISOs should be correct) until I have network access. I half expected Debian to see the card immediately and to work automatically. I was somewhat surprised to see no eth devices, and more surprised when I couldn't just load the module to use it. I added a few modules during the setup, including ip_masq modules and more notably traffic shaper. Could these be conflicting? I tried removing them and inserting the other, but no effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I like Debian so far, but I haven't seen much :) Regards, Jeff Davis -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Printing under Debian..
David Z Maze wrote: Paul Schulz [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: PS How does print filtering work under Debian. I had a system (which was PS Redhat) which did all the magic. What packages/setup do I need to get PS this to work. You probably want a print spooler (either lpr or lprng) and the magicfilter package. Installing magicfilter will ask you some questions about the sort of printer you have, and create the appropriate configuration files for you. There's also a port of Red Hat's printtool in the unstable distribution. So if it's what you know and love you can still use it. I, however, couldn't get my Laserjet 3p working with it so I had to try magicfilter and after about 2 seconds with this wonderful tool my printer was up and running. later, Andy _ Do You Yahoo!?
