No I didn't Christian. But when I was awakened by the phone at 3:55 am by
some AH that left no trace on the phone system, just let it ring and
hung up 50 milliseconds before the answering machine kicked in. I came
in here, and iceweasel was on screen and had apparently recovered. With
all my prefs and passwds intact. I didn't launch it & the only other
person in this house wouldn't know how!
Is this where we drag out that now ancient Sir Arther C. Clark quote
about any sufficiently advanced technology is indestinguishable from
magic?
Call me puzzled.
One other question, there is a command to make alsamixer save its current
settings but I've not needed it in years, so I've forgotten it. I had to
run the mixer and reenable master after I'd rebooted.
I'll see what the man page has to say.
Thanks Christian.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
