Re: [SLUG] Asus m51s Audio problem
Daryl Thompson wrote: Hi I have a customer who has just brought a ASUS M51S Laptop and has install Fedora 9 but he has no Sound. What should we be looking for to fix this I think the problem is in the distro. I have never gotten sound working on Fedora 9 on anything I've tried it on. Some of the daemons seem to be generating a connection refused message but I have no idea what it's trying to connect to or how or on what port. All of the permissions appear to be OK and things like the new network audio server appears to be running (but possibly not set up correctly by default). I've rolled back to CentOS 5.2 on the systems I need sound working on, and I'm hoping that the Fedora team fix what's going on shortly.

[SLUG] Reminder: Slug August meeting tonight (Friday August 29)
Tonight's speakers are Roger Salisbury with The good bad of Red Hat RHCE certification and Andrew Boag with Database Scalability 101. At this point we're not sure whether we'll be holding sluglets tonight due to renovations at Altassian. We're hoping we'll still be able to run sluglet tonight, but we can't guarantee it right now. Hope to see you there tonight.

[SLUG] Learn about Python 3K @ SyPy Meetup Thursday 4 September 2008
Hi everyone, This month we have a talk by Anthony Baxter on Python 3000. Date Time: 6:30PM (for a 7pm start) - 8:30PM Thursday, 4th Sep 2008 Meeting Type: Presentation Venue: Google Australia, Level 18, Tower 1 Darling Park, 201 Sussex St, Sydney This month we have a talk by Anthony Baxter on Python 3000. Anthony Baxter Google/Python Software Foundation Anthony has been involved in the open-source community for more than a decade, largely working in Python and, in the last few years, on Python. He's worked in the Internet area and in the telco space, where he gets to exercise his incredibly short attention span by working on far far too many things at once. He's written or contributed to more open source projects than he can remember – mostly related to networking and protocol implementations. He's currently the release manager for Python. This is much less glamorous than you might think. After a number of years working for a travel-based telephone company, he's recently started working for Google Australia. Anthony's spoken at a number of conferences, including a keynote at linux.conf.au 2008, at each of the 4 OSDC conferences held so far, and presented Effective Python Programming at OSCON 2005. http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2008/public/schedule/speaker/3464 Please RSVP here: http://anyvite.com/events/home/1je4nigw0t/0409-sypy-anthony-baxter-quotpython-3000quot and turn up on or before 6:30 to ensure you get a in. Notes: Congregate in the foyer downstairs near the security desk at or before 6:30 and the Google people will start taking people up in the elevators. After the meeting we will go to Hotel Sweeney, 236 Clarence Street, Sydney, for some beer and thai food (if you are hungry). -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] Web Interface for slug mail?
Hi. Is there? I want to be able to read the slug mailing list via web. No feeds on Nabble or others (gmane etc) I believe... Is subscription the only way to read this list? Thanks. Kind regards.

This one time, at band camp, James Sadler wrote: iiNet managed to screw up my broadband connection last year such that I could not get a sync signal at all. It took 4 months to resolve the situation. In the end it turned out that a neighbour had moved in down the road, got his phone connected and somewhere the cables running between the exchange and our apartments, the phone lines were physically touching. Then what you're saying is Telstra screwed up your line. Any other ISP would have had the same problems. I still haven't got my money back for the four months without a connection. I thought about going to small claims but at that point I was so stressed by the ordeal I just gave up. Have you made a formal complaint? if so, and it's still unresolved, call the TIO. While that may have been true (or not) I couldn't give a damn as I only have a contract with iiNet. Contact your federal MP demanding structural separation of Telstra and this might end up getting fixed. As it is, Telstra has no interest and no incentive to improving the service provided to its wholsale customers' customers, despite Telstra Wholesale being a massive profit centre in the organisation. -- Rev Simon Rumble [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Just because you're on holiday, doesn't mean you're not a geek. http://engineer.openguides.org/ A reactionary is a man whose political opinions always manage to keep up with yesterday. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] FPGA Device Driver Testing
Hi Sluggers. I am doing some [non-GPL] device driver testing err REng'ing and unfortunately I need a copy of SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10.0, 32 bit [Kernel 2.6.16.21-0.8] DVD. I have tried numerous times to directly download such from Novell -- what a waste of bandwidth and daytime thats been getting a completed download (site doesn't comply with wget even with correct username/password). I am not sure that SLES-10-SP2-DVD-i386-GM-DVD1.iso will do, but I willing to give it a go (again I haven't been successful completing the DVD downloads). It is a real pity VWMare doesn't allow providing drivers directly to actual HW level for PCIe devices [yet!]. Bummer! So, if someone doesn't mind helping out an old Slugger I would be most appreciative. Cheers.

Re: [SLUG] Web Interface for slug mail?
That's what I though gmail was for ;-). With near infinite mailbox size (well 7GB currently - which I imagine is probably an order of magnitude above the total SLUG archive), this is the easiest and low-impact way of subscribing to mailing lists. -- Regards, Martin On Mon, Sep 1, 2008 at 10:06 AM, Luke Vanderfluit [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi.

Re: [SLUG] Web Interface for slug mail?
The thread has already pointed out that SLUG is mirrored on gmane, in fact all the SLUG lists are. I posted about it in 2006: http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/slug/2006/05/msg00843.html The lists are also mirrored on Google Groups: http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/slug/2006/05/msg00790.html Finally there are of course the archives: http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/ -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
