Never had to fiddle with audio or wi-fi in OpenBSD. But I have used 
config mainly to set the timezone offset(-330).

Zico,
I haven't used the GUI for pppoe connection, but I did use the cli and
it worked for me.

You need to install and run pppoeconf [http://wiki.debian.org/PPPoE]

and then you might have to start pppoe connection

$ sudo pon dsl-provider
..

Check if this helps..

I have got audio working several times with this approach. No need to
have kernel source code or recompile the kernel
to have new features.

I figure out the audio device's response to hardware configurator
stage whilst booting using

$ dmesg

Hi 
  I m using empathy in fedora 11.I too got that problem frequently.But quitting 
empathy and restarting empathy will help me sometimes.And sometime it log in 
successfully but doesn't show my friend's list.I hope upgrading to the newest 
version of fedora will fix this.I guess Slow internet connection also makes it 
happen.

I am not very sure about this, however if this issue is occuring after a
abrupt shutdown, you may want to check the integrity of your database files.
Try repairing them and see.

Thanks Bharati,

This is a virtual machine, and the issue was actually a very simple thing.
When I upgraded the kernel, the remaining little space in my / (root) became
full and since I had not created separate partition for tmp, gdm was unable
to write to it. And samba also became iunaccessible due to this.

When I deleted the kernel bz2 package, it freed some space and now both are
working.

Ashish

[Ilugc] Debian 5.0+network manager+ pppoe

2009-11-27 Thread Zico
Hi, i have been trying to configure one of my friend`s broadband connection
in Debian 5.0. His ISP provided his line with "dial-up-type". That means, he
needs to login in order to connect to internet. He has been using this in
Windows. Now, he installed Debian 5.0 there; but he cannot configure his
internet. I took a look and tried like this way:

1. installed pppoe
2. went to network-manager
3. opened network-manager; selected pppoe and gave username and password
4. tried to *select that pppoe; but i cannot enable it. I mean, i put a tick
just beside of it and the tick is gone!! i mean, i cannot enable that pppoe
connection there in Debian 5.0.
