Re: [SLUG] /etc/module question
From: Jeff Waugh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your best bet is to use hotplug, which automatically instantiates drivers for the attached devices at startup. It doesn't change /etc/modules, it just re-detects at every startup. (Ubuntu uses hotplug and udev by default, btw.) Ok, I have loaded hotplug and and rebooted, but still the network didn't come up until I did a manual /etc/init.d/networking restart Hotplug correctly found the network card and loaded all the modules, including one that wouldn't manually load - nice. lsmod | grep 8139 8139too20864 0 8139cp 16128 0 mii 4032 2 8139too,8139cp There is no link to /etc/init.d/networking in /etc/rc5.d, I assume as the network came up previously then it not needed and that something else is not right. Is the order of hotplug in /etc/rc5.d incorrect? (unlikely) or is there something else missing? (more likely...)

Re: [SLUG] St George internet banking on linux
That's just the thing... some java applets also worked for me before, but not all. If I remember correctly, there is some sort of issue with Mozilla based browsers, Java and Motif. If I remember correctly, Motif and the Java plugin have to be compiled using the same gcc and Mozilla browsers, including Firefox use the Motif library. I don't know if this is related to St George in particular, I was also at the time trying to solve another Java problem I was having (with Eclipse). The fact that it works now may be a by product of everything else I have done. Unfortunately I have a very non-standard setup on my very non-standard laptop. In any case, just symlinking the java plugin even in Epiphany may not be enough, you may have to recompile it.
