[vox-tech] Ubuntu sound card issues on KDS laptop
One of my neighbors purchased a used KDS Valiant 671XH laptop for his daughter. The machine was running Windows XP, but was crippled with viruses and malware. I turned six people on to Ubuntu Linux in the last year and have had no issues on three laptops and three workstations. Unfortunately, this install (Ubuntu 6.06) had trouble with the sound card. Even worse, the original OS was so crippled that I did not even bother to check out the hardware specifications (I know, I know...). Bitten by overconfidence. I tried looking on linux-on-laptops.com and tux-mobil.org, but there are no references to this model. I also tried kdscomputers.com, but it appears that they have gone out of business. The ALSA site also has no specific references to this model. Is anyone familiar with this model or have sufficient ALSA/sound card experience to offer a suggestion? Many thanks, Eric Engelhard ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

Bingo!
If this is the case, look in /etc/sendmail.mc
(could be /etc/mail/sendmail.mc on RedHat), and there will probably be
something like DAEMON_OPTIONS('Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1'). Comment this
out, rebuild /etc/sendmail.cf, and restart sendmail.

If you have a plan for dividing up the uncompressed data, perhaps you should do that first and store the split data as separate files (recompressed or not) for purposes of computation. The zlib library offers a seek function in its utility function API, gzseek(gzFile, z_off_t, int). Since the zlib compression uses the deflation algorithm that compresses data in blocks of a known size, it can find the block you're seeking, inflate just that block, and return the data (I'm not sure if that's how gzseek works, but I'm just sain' it can be done.) I'm sure in all PERL's ingenuity, it can be done in PERL, too. Go Eric! Keep looking! :) Thanks Mark.
