No Soundview story

http://www.linuxforums.org – Hello, I recently installed Debian on my mother's Dell desktop. Everything has been working smoothly so far except for one problem: there is no sound at all (aside from system beep). I ran Knoppix off of a live CD on the same computer and was able to play some mp3 files (using the same speakers), so I'm sure the speakers and sound card are fine. (HowTos)

http://www.linuxforums.org – I got a new laptop for Yule. It's an HP Pavilion dv6. AMD Turion II Ultra Dual Core Mobile Processor M640 2.6GHz. I didn't realise that it was a 64 bit system at first and tried installing 32 bit ubuntu with all kinds of problems. And I also accidentally wiped Win 7 from the HD while trying to install a dual boot. (HowTos)

optimal kernel compilationview story

http://www.linuxforums.org – When you download kernel sources it is around 60 mb. When you compile it with standard .config file it is around 5 gb. So i have feeling that it should be around 500 mb, for standard pc computer. So what is the process of determining the optimal .config file for your machine ?? I know I can find out my hardware with: /sbin/lspci cat /proc/cpuinfo (HowTos)

Adding users to samba/ldap setupview story

http://www.linuxforums.org – Hi all, I've inherited a system which is using samba and ldap to authenticate users (both on the local machine, and Windows machines on the LAN) Any advice on the best way to add users? The best I could think of was do get an existing user's ldap entry (with ldapsearch), modify it (ie change the username, uid etc) by hand, then insert it with ldapmodify. (HowTos)
