All,

Having trouble finishing Ubuntu desktop and server installs.  Here are the remaining problems.

1. Sound (DT).  Following the instructions from the following links:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91501

Downloaded the "alsa-info.sh" bash script from the first.  Ran is and results posted at:

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:

You can see the difference, but not being a sound techy I have no idea what still needs tweaking.

2. Video - In low res (800x600)

Talked with a NeddySeagoon on IRC and there is a link to His custom X-Win res builder, which resolved this on my Gentoo box.  Will need that info to fix this.

3. LAMP (both - use localhost on DT for pre-production development)

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.

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.

4. Domains-Virtual Hosts (Apache)

I had a Virtual Host problem, which I posted my problem on ApacheLounge at:

http://www.apachelounge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2093&highlight=

But now have that solved.

5. Ubuntu Server - Load Balancing

Have onboard NIC and two 3-Com NICs.  Inet served on two 3-Coms.  Network on the onboard NIC.  Need to do:

   a. IP monitoring - to know if one or both are up,
   b. IP routing - to route IP specific traffic through the right provider 
      (such as email, due to "no forwarding" on most)
   c. Load Balancing on the lines 
      (like merging them together, but both have seperate ISPs)

Hope I can get some help.

Thanks!
