Right - I have since successfully installed Slimserver 6.5.1 from the Slimserver deb repository, and it is running ok. However, I still have no ogg support. I don't seem to be able to get anything sensible out of the debugging options, either. All I do seem to be able to find out, is that it

Ubuntu Linux, now runnign Feisty Fawn. Historically I've compiled slimserver from source. Then many moons ago, when 6.3 was current, I rashly decided to install via apt. Unfortunately the apt package was 6.5, which at that time was highly unstable. Fingers burned! Yesterday I installed Feisty,

Hi everyone. I've set up my Ubuntu 6.10 box with Slimserver. I also want to have it so that when it is idle, it will sleep (as opposed to hibernate). I'm thinking after 15 minutes idle, say. So, I know how to set this (icon top right hand of screen) and it dutifully goes off to sleep (doesn't
