Hey Gang, I have a friend up in northern St. Paul that before I left the TC area setup on Debian Lenny. I was ssh'ing into the box got disconnected then could no longer access the box. I'm fairly sure the IP didn't change on me to cause the disconnect I have not updated this box because if an update broke it I was not up there to fix it. Exim4 takes a Longggg time on boot, and her skype was working an no longer works. Even though it is detected by lsusb. Skype is not detecting her webcam video. Audio is fine. She just bought a new Linksys wifi router and I'm pretty sure she pulled a wrong wire out and plugged it in to were it doesn't belong. Regardless on a direct connection with her linux box and a new netbook we can't setup the router on its standard web browser interface. No connection to host. I've tried cycling it, etc, etc. This could all be a 1/2's help or longer. I really don't know. If you do an update on Lenny and it breaks I don't remember if I set her box out as a separate /home or not. I usually do on my installs. She has a gb of ram it may just be faster to load Linux Mint on there because it will have all the codecs without messing around. There is a USB HDD backup available to make a current backup!!!! As the one usually having to ssh in to help fix things I don't mind Mint. PLEASE don't put any shape or form of *bunt* on there. I would be lost as a high ball in weeds on an RPM based distro because I don't know their repo setups. If I was up there and had the time I would put Slack or Arch and and be done with it personally. I am hanging out in IRC as VampirePenguin. "Payment" arrangements will be between you and her. It could range from cash to pizza and beer. Whatever you all accept as good. Thanks for your help.
