They were using Pine before the Internet went public. We didn't have any stinking GUI at all, until some new thing called PPP happened. But, we decided at modem speeds to not allow a graphical connection and remained text-mode. Everyone hung out in the MUD and had a blast. Ric

"waiting for sound system to respond", and then the tag goes away; How can I address this problem? I had so many problems, in the past with Pulse, that I did a fresh install with 10.4. It all worked out of the box. Since 8.04 there have been so many alterations to the alsa schema, that it's hard to keep up. So, if you did an upgrade, you may have old ~/.alsa files lying around that serve no purpose now. I have no .asound files at all. None in /etc Crank open synaptic and search on pulse and see if there are any files that you may think you need, like pavcontrol, that you didn't have before. I'd like to know how you installed. There's always a running debate on whether to install fresh or upgrade, and which works best. Ric

Somewhat off topic; is streamtuner unfixable?

Those packages above have been removed through apt-get. (I rather prefer
apt-get --purge autoremove pkgs.)

So, the solution is absolutely wrong for me. but how to fix the wrong package state information in aptitude?
Or
It is not safe to use both aptitude and apt-get, right?

Completely ignores that there are reasons for going along that have nothing to do with whether you can be compelled. Example: IMHO, top posting is a symptom of cluelessness. Since I want my cluelessness to be judged by what I say, I don't top post. AND, if I see someone who I think might benefit from the tip, I will suggest the same to them.

Bottom posting is the one of the two stupidist things in e-mail. If I'm following a thread having to scroll down through all the previous posts is a royal pain in the posterior. Top posting make immensely more sense. If I lose my place in a top post I can always scroll down to refresh my memory. Otherwise, what I need to read is right there when I open the e-mail. The other stupid thing I see all the time is setting a lists defaults to reply to sender and then requiring replies be sent to the list. If you want the replies to go to the list, set that as the default. Having said all that, I try to follow the list conventions for each individual list. Sometimes I may do it wrong by mistake because list conventions vary so much from list to list. -- -- "A good moral character is the first essential in a man." George Washington

I guess it depends on just how far back using email you go. I never noticed much top-posting at all, until the last 5-10 years. At least not in the places I hung around it. Mostly tech email lists. But, top-posting for personal mail is OK, I guess. I much prefer to middle post, to keep the "conversation" in order, even in private email. I don't believe I ever saw top-posting on BBS's. When you were composing online, their email client pretty much forced you to bottom post in reply. Owell! Just my two cents, Ric
