  1. All,
  2.  
  3. Having trouble finishing both Ubuntu desktop and server installs.  Here are the remaining problems.
  4.  
  5. 1. Sound (DT).  Following the instructions from the following links:
  6.  
  7. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
  8.  
  9. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91501
  10.  
  11. Downloaded the "alsa-info.sh" bash script from the first.  Ran is and results posted at:
  12.  
  13. http://pastebin.ca/804854
  14.  
  15. Then researching found my onboard sound chipset was Realtek ALC655 which uses the AC97 driver set (that led me to second link).  Once I ran the install from the second link, sound still did not run, so re-ran "alsa-info.sh".  Results posted at:
  16.

  18.  
  19. You can see the difference, but not being a sound techy I have no idea what still needs tweaking.  Just do not have enough working knowledge of this to know what I do next.
  20.  
  21. When I run the set of cmds in the debugging guide I get:
  22.  
  23.         a.      cat /proc/asound/cards                No such file or directory
  24.         b.      /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base     Permission denied
  25.                 Then with chmod 775 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
  26.                 I got:

  209.                 bsdunix: BIOS settings; on-board sound disabled, plug and play
  210.                 OS = no. then try to cat file-foo >/dev/dsp. you should hear
  211.                 the file in your speakers
  212.         Try both off, both on, each on/off, each off/on, still no sound.
  213.  
  214. This is where I'm at on this problem.  I think there are some files and/or directories I need to create and/or edit to get this operating correctly.  But which ones?
  215.  
  216. 2. Video - In low res (800x600)
  217.  
  218. Talked with a NeddySeagoon on IRC who has a link to forum entry about using "ModeLine" for a custom res builder, which resolved this on my Gentoo box.  Found NeddySeagoon again and link is:
  219.  
  220.         https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3276263.html#3276263
  221.  
  222. with link to autogen script at:
  223.  
  224.         http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
  225.  
  226. Ran the modeline generator script but still having problems.  Reboot comes to X-Win "Low-Res" Pop-up with "Configure", "ShutDown", "Continue".  Configure hangs and machine has to be manually rebooted.  Continue of course puts you back in the Low-Res mode.  I was forced to level of 15 with my Gentoo configuration, trying to resolve this.
  227.  
  228. 3. CUPS/Printing (both - use localhost on DT for pre-production development)
  229.  
  230. Both show printing active but used to admin of CUPS through Web Browser, using Launcher in Launch Panel and not able to run this way.  Current Ubuntu Admin locks if config fails.  Also the current Ubuntu printer admin will not find my printer on the network which is an HP4L attach via a NetGear PS110 print server box.  Had to load customer drivers on the Gentoo box and suspect same here but do not have any options to work with, especially directory searching for drivers, like from the Browser based CUPS environment.
  231.  
  232. Finally found info on this for CUPs on localhost at: localhost:631.  Then had config problem and had to download new .ppd file from:
  233.  
  234.         http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi
  235.        
  236. Then install of new printer corrected the problems (deletion of old).  Also cleaned up the extra .ppd files in /etc/cups/ppd.  Also edited the .ppd with the following 2 lines changed:
  237.  
  238.         *ImageableArea Letter/US Letter: "18 36 582 744"
  239.  
  240.         *PaperDimension Letter/US Letter: "600 780"
  241.  
  242. to set up correctly for lp/lpr printing.
  243.  
  244. 4. LAMP (both - use localhost on DT for pre-production development)
  245.  
  246. Boot shows all this loading by having trouble with accessing it all, espacially the phpmyadmin that I'm used to using to drop-in my SQL code.
  247.  
  248. The config file /etc/apahce2/httpd.conf is blank an finally realized the install is using file /etc/apahce2/apache2.conf.  Do not see the "include" link there, for the PHP5 or phpmyadmin, which shows on my other machines.
  249.  
  250. Finally got through all this and got it working, but want to build a launcher, similar to the WAMP launcher for Window, where everything pops from the menu.  If you know a pre-built launcher for this, link please.  If we can not find that and you have launcher build experience let's talk.
  251.  
  252. 5. Domains-Virtual Hosts (Apache)
  253.  
  254. I had a Virtual Host problem, which I posted my problem on ApacheLounge at:
  255.  
  256. http://www.apachelounge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2093&highlight=
  257.  
  258. But now have that solved.
  259.  
  260. 6. Launchers - Launch Panel
  261.  
  262. Trying to build Launch Panel launchers for CUPS, ?? and Remote Server SSH.  Know how to build them in the Menu system with file in:
  263.  
  264.         /usr/share/applications/<men_lauch>.desktop
  265.  
  266. Just no experience with Launch Panel launchers.
  267.  
  268. 7. Ubuntu Server - Load Balancing
  269.  
  270. Have onboard NIC and two 3-Com NICs.  Inet served on two 3-Coms.  Network on the onboard NIC.  Need to do:
  271.  
  272.    a. IP monitoring - to know if one or both are up,
  273.    b. IP routing - to route IP specific traffic through the right provider
  274.       (such as email, due to "no forwarding" on most)
  275.    c. Load Balancing on the lines
  276.       (like merging them together, but both have seperate ISPs)
  277.  
  278. Hope I can get some help.
  279.  
  280. Thanks!
  281.  
  282. OMR
