[nmglug] Mozilla apps freeze on print

[BrianO'Keefe]

Thanks for all the help! I'm back up and running. I had a sneaky feeling
I screwed up my interfaces. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing in
the hands of the ignorant, like me.
The last part is actually:

brianokeefe at ubuntu:/etc/init.d$ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
 * Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd  

What did you mean "Is it really /etc/network/interfaces?" It is.
Thanks a bunch to you too Nick.
I love my GLUG! Just wish I could contribute as much as I am helped.

My brother bought a Microtel desktop loaded with Linspire which didn't
work at all so we installed Ubuntu 7.10. It works great but there is no
sound and it may be an ALSA problem. I have a vague memory of having to
edit an ALS config file once but can't remember what I did. Any ideas of
where to begin?

thanks again
