[hsflinux] my serial driver is battling my hsf driver and it is winning

[Marc Donovan]

I am trying to uninstall this driver so I can get my sound back.

marc at marc-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo hsfconfig --uninstall
Conexant HSF softmodem driver, version 7.80.02.04full

If you need license keys, assistance or more information, please go to:

us the file generated by "hsfconfig --dumpdiag".

ERROR: Uninstallation failed :

/usr/sbin/hsfconfig: line 3156: cd: /c/builds/200904232104/hsfmodem-7.80.02.04full: No such file or directory
marc at marc-desktop:~/Desktop$ 

so I did it manually.

marc at marc-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -r hsfmodem
(Reading database ... 152250 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing hsfmodem ...
dpkg - warning: while removing hsfmodem, directory `/etc/hsfmodem/nvm' not empty so not removed.
dpkg - warning: while removing hsfmodem, directory `/etc/hsfmodem' not empty so not removed.
marc at marc-desktop:~/Desktop$ 

But I really need a fax that does not waste toner and I would be glad to buy this driver if I could get it to work.

I sent the dump as an attachment and it is waiting for approval since it is so large.

A clue, after running the automated driver install Firefox started
acting weird and I have no sound anymore. I found this file was owned
by root, chown it back to me and Firefox is now sane. 

marc at marc-desktop:~$ ls -l ./.mozilla/firefox/nniwis8y.default/places.sqlite*
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc marc 3960832 2009-09-01 14:49 ./.mozilla/firefox/nniwis8y.default/places.sqlite
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  714608 2009-09-01 14:49 ./.mozilla/firefox/nniwis8y.default/places.sqlite-journal

Has to do with running Firefox as root Im sure.

But I still have no sound...

Could this be why?

I tried turning off the on-board com port since I don't use it for anything.

Should I send the text of the /tmp/hsfdiag.txt?
