I have the same issue with same combo on my desktop computer. I had the same problem a few months ago and it was repaired as you explained. Sorry, I can’t give you answers. I did a search and nothing helped.
I’ve read these bug reports but this time they didn’t help: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/272352 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/291269 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1465748
Some help would be very appreciated

I don’t know where I put the physical manual, but I did download the PDF version from HP’s website. It has more pictures than explanatory text, and of course it blithely assumes we’ll use Windows, but it says:
Wireless button
Turns the wireless feature on or off, but does not create a wireless connection.
NOTE: A wireless network must be set up in order to establish a wireless connection.
…
Wireless light
Blue: An integrated wireless device, such as a wireless local area network (WLAN) device and/or a Bluetooth® device, is turned on.
Amber: All wireless devices are turned off.
That’s it. They don’t say anything else about it, and what they do say doesn’t seem to apply to Debian. Pushing the button doesn’t seem to have any effect, and the light seems to be blue most of the time, even when the connection wasn’t working, and amber sometimes even while I’m connected. Sometimes I need to RTFM, but I don’t think this is one.

I noticed this before my email: it is already disabled on my box. I guess I had to do so to run Maple 13 properly.
Thanks, Jerome
Aptitude offers xpdf-utils but not xpdf. evince works nicely.
Judging by the sentence “… intended for compatibilty only …” in http://packages.debian.org/lenny/xpdf , xpdf is phasing out.

Hello list
I was thinking about upgrade to squeeze and just want to check if everything is OK there? No ‘critical’ bugs etc.. ? I know a lot of you use squeeze so its probably best place to ask
Regards
Given a Squeeze system with libpoppler5, poppler-utils, iceweasel and mozplugger, what else is needed to have Iceweasel open a pdf document? Am I missing a package or just a configuration setting for Iceweasel?
Thanks, Peter E.
Hello,
At fist: I don’t read list ‘debian-user’. I am the new developer of lilo. See: http://alioth.debian.org/projects/lilo/ and: http://lilo.alioth.debian.org/
This is the same for me.
I see: liloconfig is to old for Squeeze. Thanks for this hint. This script needs some work.
At first: set ‘lba32′ at the beginning of the lilo.conf.
Please set this lines as following:
#### use old device names, i. e. #### (note: inside lilo works interally with VolumeID’s) boot=/dev/sda # or similar device : #### for each image another UUID, i. e. # partition /dev/sda1 root=”UUID=5019cd9d-5d2e-4d7c-a6f4-0eccb5144c77″
To list all UUID’s use the tool ‘blkid’ from the package e2fsprogs (Lenny) or package util-linux (Squeeze).
I hope this infos can help you.
Note: These config hints where tested with lilo version 22.8-8.1 (Squeeze)
Have a nice day,

I have spent the last couple of days (intermittently) failing get a usb bootable installation for squeeze that will work with my hardware and AMD-64 (I have inadvertently built an i386 system [twice] – because I have an old squeeze installation on an SD card that I failed to add the architecture label to).
I have a server which has no cd. Only real possibility is to boot from a usb memory stick. Fortunately with the fact that I have an SDHC card to USB adaptor I have plenty of them large enough.
Following the instructions in the installation manual section 4.3.2 “Copying the files – the flexible way” I can get a bootable installation provided I can get an .iso
However my new system will be comprised of ext2 and ext4 filesystems and right now there is a bug which prevents versions 2.16 of libblkid1 making such systems 2.17 works – and is available in sid (and can be back copied into squeeze) but until it can migrate into testing (which I had expected to happen last night – but something has now delayed it another two days)
So downloading the weekly .iso of CD1 of testing doesn’t work – because it fails in the partitioning process of making the new filesystems.
I have also downloaded the daily netboot install which has the sid installer (although it installs squeeze) but that seems not to recognize either of my two ethernet cards so installation doesn’t even get started.
I am not sure where to go next. Possibilities seem like
a) Get a SID CD .iso – install that and then change my sources.list to point at the squeeze repositories once it has installed the base system.
b) Try and dynamically change the libblkid1.so.1 file once the installer has booted.
Neither seem perfect. Has anyone any other suggestions?
I’ve used the Snd soundfile editor for many years for simple audio editing tasks. But since upgrading to current testing I don’t seem to be able to anymore.
After installation of the basic infrastructure (the snd package itself) you need to install one of the user interface packages—snd-gtk-jack, snd-gtk-pulse, or snd-gtk. The first builds in Jack support, the second builds in pulse-audio support, and the third (which I have always used) should just interface directly with Alsa.
The upgrade process was quite fraught, because on startup, snd complained about missing extension files and faulty load-paths. I got past those problems by removing a .snd_guile_prefs file in my home directory left there by the previous version of the package.
A worse problem, though, is that any attempt to play a file or a selected region of a file results in:
can’t play: open read /dev/dsp: No such file or directory [audio.c[1825] linux_audio_open_with_error]
The snd-pcm-oss module is loaded and the oss-compat package is installed and no other audio utility or player gives such a message (which seems to reflect a very old version of Alsa).
I notice that the version of snd-gtk available in the repositories is very old (7.18-2.2 0 from lenny, with no version at all in squeeze or sid)
It’s also strange that invocation of snd results in repeated versions of this warning message:
snd & 17791 jack_client_new: deprecated Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory Cannot connect to server socket jack server is not running or cannot be started
even though I am not running (and do not want to run) jackd or the jack-enabled version of snd-gtk.
There is no documentation that I can find in /usr/share/doc/ that talks about any of these issues, but the best sense I can make of it is that at this point you can’t use snd unless you’re willing to engage with the complexities and difficulties of jackd and pulseaudio.
Which is a real pity since before the upgrade all worked smoothly and well. And if this is the case, surely it should be documented somewhere?
Is there anyone who understands what’s going on here or who has advice to offer?
