Greetings; since removing pulseaudio, I've rebooted, and the x launch generates an audio server failure message. The only thing I have left is the system beep kmail makes when a message is received, everything else is silent. There was a small thump in the speakers when udev started. Anybody got a fresh magic twanger to make this work again? Thanks -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
