Hi I don't know what caused it, but my laptop won't come out of APM suspend. The laptop is a Dell Lattitude C640, running Etch, with the 2.6.12 kernel. The grub menu tells the kernel to not use ACPI (it doesn't work with bios), and apm --suspend works fine. But when I open the lid/press the

Hi I've long favoured the synaptic package manager because it's easy to search the packages, and it's clear what's going to be installed (dependencies etc) and easy to select packages. However, I had to use aptitude and dselect (yuk) recently on another system and noticed that they would

Samba talking to samba, sarge-to-sarge. I use smbmount //server/share mymountpt -oguest which connects fine, but it all dies (hangs) if I try to look in that mounted directory with konqueror in kde OR nautillus in gnome. In dmesg of the server computer I get: smb_proc_readdir_long:

I had problems too. The kernel kept loading the oss modules, which meant that the alsa ones didn't work. I took advice from somewhere on the net, which said the way to stop it was to edit /etc/discover.conf and put a line skip via82xxx_audio which means it will never use that module. Then

Thanks for responses. I had seen the Jack page, which as you say, was easy to find. But I'd been having problems with clients connecting to it when not run as root, rather than difficulties with realtime. Bizarely these seem to have vanished and it now works...for the mo! related question,
