And now, even samba seems to have failed, with ubuntu apparently using an incompatible version. I was backing up the kubuntu's machines /home directory with amanda, but I never got around to rebuilding the amanda client after finding the hard way that that particular machine apparently cannot tolerate 2 pata hard drives, it seemed to like to trash the filesystems on both in a week, but with just one drive it runs for years. I did have nfs running between them, for about a week, but local weather created a power failure that outlasted both UPS's, and that hasn't worked since the reboots. And typical of nfs when it fails, no error msg, it just doesn't mount. I also just tried to make rsync connect, and the lack of a root account on the kubuntu machine causes a password fail. su'ing to the user who would do that and I get a scrambled, invalid path returned as incapable of being accessed. That I can probably figure out given time, I did do that for the backup for a couple of years. Other than losing some gcode I've written, and the configs for those drives, that machine is re-installable from scratch to a working milling machine in about an hour. >I would like to state for the record that like Rex, I have many, many >systems running with pulseaudio and no problems. > >Craig And how many of those involve using the motherboard, a generally simple audio system for something like skype, and a real audio card (if indeed one can call an Audigy2 Value (SBO400, driven by emu10k1) a real audio card, but at least it is not a winmodem) for all other system sound duties, each to be totally isolated from the other? If you do have such a setup, please share how you did it. Show *me* the .conf files that achieve that.
