I just installed the latest version of Onebase Linux. I am very impressed with the speed and performance so far.

I am however disappointed that it will not configure my onboard sound or my printer. I have an HP 722c and have downloaded source and compiled pnm2ppa driver. In K printer my parallel port is not recongnized.

For sound problems her is output of command:

Parport Pc is not listed with in modules and I am not sure if that is the problem but I think I have run into this before.

Please help. I would hate to have to dump this distro but if it does not run to well out of the box then its history.

if the parport_pc module isnt there, then ur going to have to recompile ur kernel because the parport_pc module is in teh kernel somewhere. ur just going to have to go through al the options and see where it is. u'll have to check if u have the kernel source installed. if they're not then u'll have to go to kernel.org and download them and compile them. instructions on compiling a kernel are everywhere on this forum so u should find them

Not going to bother. Going back to Kanotix which seems to be the best for my purposes and has pretty much bleeding edge packaging.

Onebase was compiled from source and did not seem to make a difference.

This may not pertain to your specific problem but I was looking for help with the audio as well.
I choose KDE as my DE so this is what I did to get sound working for me.
You are not part of the audio group by default so you have to add yourself. (I found it easier to login as root and then use the 'Switch User' feature in the K menu to login as regular user to see if it worked)
In a konsole as root type gpasswd -a username audio
So if your username was noob it would look like this:
#gpasswd -a noob audio
You may have to logout then back in again as user for it to take affect.
Sorry Gnome users I haven't tried it in Gnome but the idea is the same.
I hope this helps someone. Onebase seems like it has potential to be a great distro.
