Did that, can't connect to server as none of the rest of pulse is 
installed either.

It was working before the reboot, and had been since the install in 
February IIRC.  But, FWIW, when Isaid it was dead, I had not yet started 
fetchmail, and once that was running, the incoming mail beep is working.  
But no web sound yet.

Is there a meta package that will install whats needed?

Thank you James.
