Installfest Time!

by Keller, Tim

Hey Everybody, As the Subject implies, it's Installfest time. I'm thinking of holding it the 9th of February, I'd like some input on if this is too early, etc... I'd also like other peoples input on stuff such as... 1. What distributions people should bring... 2. Possibly having a mini key signing party 3. Quake/Unreal/Castle Wolfenstein/tetrinet tournament. 4. Have some demonstrations going (such as transgaming running the sims/diablo2) Basically if you've got some idea that might improve the installfest, fire me an email! I'd also like some input from Andy about the possibility of using WLUG money to purchase something good for the raffle. I'm seeing if I can get us a big / better room for all this. Tim.

sound module?

by Bill Mills-Curran

I got a new (old) machine, and I'm having problems getting the sound card working. The machine is a DELL Optiplex GX1, and the sound card is built into the mother board. I can't see anything on the motherboard that tells me what kind of sound card is there. I can't even find anything about the motherboard other than it's Dell. There are messages in my system log: Dec 15 22:21:31 newguy modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-0 Dec 15 22:21:31 newguy modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-0 I get these messages at boot and whenever I put a music CD in the drive. Any ideas? TIA, Bill

Re: [Wlug] help: printing to MS98 server

by Bill Mills-Curran

I posted the problem below, and I finally found out what was wrong with my lpd setup -- nothing! The entire problem was a setup on the W98 settings for the driver. All I had to do was disable bi-directional support for the printer. (I think it was enabled because I have a scanner head for the printer.) Just thought the group might like to know.
