What happens when you run alsaconf? Let it run all the way through, i.e. let it probe for legacy cards, let it keep running, it has to probe irq and dma channels. If this doesn't work, you will need to get the irq and dma from the bios and configure using the modconf utility.

I also know of xrms.sf.net (php again) as an alternative but I recently had to enhance it and the code really seems unmaintainable (mixed PHP/HTML/SQL in a single file), looks like it was created way before anybody thought about MVC or some best practices, yes it does work but I'll probably be enhancing it with some custom stuff where I see fit. my requirements would be: * web based * needs to have workflows (e.g. assign activity to a contact, if no updates within a week -> escalate by mail,) * soap/xmlrpc interface (xmlrpc preferred, it just so much nicer to use) * mail gateway (incoming mail should be automagically processed and attached to activities/contacts,) nice to have would be: * written in python (what I sript in most of the time) * xmpp interface (escalation or something, i just like that protocol it seems to be able to fit nearly any use be it human/human messaging, human/app or app/app) * NO: tinyerp.org * NO: erp5.org * I had a look at both of these and they seem to just hide under open source there isn't really that much documentation there (especially erp5.org when i last looked at it), also they seem overkill as I really just need CRM not ERP atm. so does anyone have suggestions about more alternatives to look at? thanks martin signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Mounting Windows Samba shares without using smbfs
As smbfs is no longer maintained, what is the proper way to mount samba shares in linux? Most of the user guides out there rely on 'mount -t smbfs ' to mount windows shares. I heard there is a mount -t cifs? But that doesn't seem to work in etch box that I have. In the meantime, I am using smbclient to access the windows shares. I like the tool. It is ftp like and gets the job done. However, it is much easier to have the share mounted and perform the common file operations directly. Any ideas?

However, I've looked at used copies and these basics about UNIX haven't changed in years. Sure, the examples of how to do specific things on their example OSs, and their choice of example OSs change, but the UNIX fundaments don't change.

Re: Plone, zc.buildout, and Etch
Freddy Freeloader wrote: Hi all, Is anyone else out there using buildout to create Plone 3 installs on Etch? I've been running into really strange errors when using buildout on Etch which no one in the Plone community is able to help me with. I cannot even complete a default buildout on Etch using Debian Python packages. I can however, do this on successfully on Sid. I haven't tried Lenny. If I use the ez_setup.py script on Etch to to download and install the Python setup tools package I can build a default Plone 3 install, however, I then run into problems adding third party tools such as Ploneboard, SimpleAttachment, and Clouseau. As I need the third party tools for the functions they provide this isn't something I live with. I can use the Plone Unified Installer, but would much prefer using buildout as it is so much more flexible. This all seems to be tied to changes made in the Debian Python packages in Etch that have been made since January 30 of this year. Why that date? Because I successfully used buildout on a server running Etch on that day. I also added the above third party tools successfully. Sometime since then something has changed in the Debian Python packages, or so it would appear anyway. Update: Well, if anyone out there is wanting to use the buildout method of installing Zope and Plone on Etch, at least for a while anyway, you're going to either have to compile Python, PIL, and any other Python dependencies from source code, or the the UnifiedInstallerBuildout packages that combine the Unified Installer, buildout, and Python 2.4.4 in one package. The Python interpreter now in Etch will not work. What exactly changed I don't know, but it's changed sometime after 1/28/2008. You can't just use the Unified Installer package either as it will install successfully but any time you install 3rd party packages it hoses the Plone site, sometimes so badly that even deleting the product directories and restarting the instance or the cluster doesn't help.

apache2 does not display blosxom blog
Faced with the prospect of frequent regular updates to WordPress (entirely too much hassle; this appears to be a result of the recent acquisition of WordPress by Google(?)), I am considering a return to blosxom. But I have misplaced my notes from my previous installation of blosxom, and I have not yet discovered how to get apache2 to display the blog. In the blosxom package, README.Debian says that data files belong in /var/lib/blosxom/data , and the example configuration file blosxom.conf agrees: $datadir = "/var/lib/blosxom/data" But testing with the URL http://localhost/blosxom/ displays a page which reads as follows: Index of /blosxom [ICO]NameLast modified SizeDescription [DIR]Parent Directory- [DIR]images/ 29-Mar-2008 01:11 - Apache/2.2.8 (Debian) Server at localhost Port 80 I installed blosxom before I installed apache2. Does the installation sequence matter? If you know of a simple and robust blogging engine which correctly generates RSS feeds, I am open to recommendations. The blog is for my own postings, and not for comments. I need only text -- no images, no bells and whistles. RLH -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

HP Photosmart and Epson Stylus Photo printer compatibility?
I am in the market for a new printer and I like HP for Linux compatibility. So I went to linuxprinting.org and printed out the list of HP printers to take with me to Fry's. Fry's has the HP PhotoSmart D7160, D7260 and D7460. The listing on linuxprinting.org has the PhotoSmart D7100, 7200 and 7400 all listed as working perfectly. Can anyone verify if the newer versions currently at Fry's work as perfectly as the older ones? I also saw the Epson Stylus Photo R260 listed as working perfectly, but, again, the model available at Fry's was the slightly newer R280. Can anyone verify the functioning of this printer under linux? -- Marc Shapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
