Does anybody read the forums?

I did today.

First, there are some important discussions from this month.
Second, there are some old, but unsolved threads about serious issues, 
e.g. this one http://www.64studio.com/node/1283.

For sure, I won't be the one "capturing" the forums, after being dissed 
for "capturing" the mailing list ;).

I would like to see some more traffic on the forums and the mailing 
list. Please users, reply to people having issues and save them from 
migrating to other distros.

Btw. again I'll post the way I pseudo-solved this 
"http://www.64studio.com/node/1283"-issue, if anybody else should run 
into the same trouble like mick.ca does in August:

    spinymouse-s...@64studio:~$ ls -al /usr/local/bin/fix64
    -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 814 2009-10-22 00:06 /usr/local/bin/fix64
    spinymouse-s...@64studio:~$ cat /usr/local/bin/fix64
    #!/bin/sh
    # /usr/local/bin/fix64
    # 2009 Ralf Mardorf

    echo $0

    # hda-intel
    diff /usr/local/share/fix64/etc/modprobe.d/hda-intel
    /etc/modprobe.d/hda-intel
    if [ $? = 0 ]
      then echo NO DIFF /etc/modprobe.d/hda-intel IS EQUAL TO THE BACKUP
      else cp -p /usr/local/share/fix64/etc/modprobe.d/hda-intel
    /etc/modprobe.d/hda-intel
    fi

    # gdm.conf-custom
    diff /usr/local/share/fix64/etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
    /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
    if [ $? = 0 ]
      then echo NO DIFF /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom"  "IS EQUAL TO THE BACKUP
      else cp -p /usr/local/share/fix64/etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
    /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
    fi

    # sources.list
    diff -r /usr/local/share/fix64/etc/apt/ /etc/apt/
    if [ $? = 0 ]
      then echo NO DIFF /etc/apt/"*               "ARE EQUAL TO THE BACKUP
      else cp -pr /usr/local/share/fix64/etc/apt/* /etc/apt
    fi

    exit 0
    spinymouse-s...@64studio:~$

Unfortunately there's the need to have a backup to repair 64 Studio once 
it has this bug and having this bug, people always needs to run fix64 
after doing upgrades, installs or removals. Seemingly I run into this 
trouble in Oktober.

By the way, I don't think it makes much sense to test an outdated 
kernel-rt. IMO it's better to stay with the default kernel or to build 
and test the latest kernel.
The other thing is, that people who still follow this list, but who are 
already migrated to another distro should write about the reasons soon 
to the list and/ or the forums.

I prefer 64 Studio and don't have any purpose to migrate :), but I do 
understand the arguments some people have to migrate.

Cheers,
Ralf
