Console switching stopped working
by bjsamuels＠beenthere-donethat.org.uk 12 May '04

12 May '04

I have just upgraded my Debian Sarge/Testing system which included a number of X related packages and console switching (Ctrl-Alt-Fn) has stopped working. Even Ctrl-Alt-Backspace won't drop me back to the command line even though X was started using '/etc/init.d/kdm start' from the command line on console 1 which is what I have always done. It just restarts X/kdm. My /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file has not been changed (Does not have today's date) and neither have any of the files in /etc/X11/xkb also all old dates. Any ideas please?

If you are a Linux Value Added Reseller then you can sign up, yes. This is no demo. Is it that hard? You could always use the feedback form on the site to suggest improvements for the next version - it's all open source so we can improve it as it grows.

Aiptek Camera
by Leon Stedman 11 May '04

11 May '04

Some time ago I purchased an Aiptek "Pocket DVII 1.3 Mega digital camera. I would like to get this working under Linux. On connecting the camera to the USB port the following is logged: kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:11.2-1, assigned address 6 /sbin/hotplug: arguments (usb) env (DEVFS=/proc/bus/usb OLDPWD=/ \ PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin ACTION=add PWD=/etc/hotplug \ SHLVL=1 HOME=/ DEVICE=/proc/bus/usb/001/006 INTERFACE=8/6/80 \ PRODUCT=8ca/105/100 TYPE=0/0/0 DEBUG=yes _=/bin/env) /sbin/hotplug: invoke /etc/hotplug/usb.agent () /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup usb-storage for USB product 8ca/105/100 When I attempt to access the camera under gphoto: kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 1901 kernel: SCSI device (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST. kernel: SCSI device sda: 12288 512-byte hdwr sectors (6 MB) kernel: sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled kernel: sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 kernel: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 kernel: unable to read partition table is logged. I have also attempted to "mount" the camera using every file system I can think of without being able to read it. Any suggestions anyone? I must be doing something wrong! Leon Stedman

New LinuxVAR website
by Steve Purkiss 10 May '04

10 May '04

Just launched a site which I thought you might like to know about: www.LinuxVAR.co.uk - a high-level introduction to Linux and Open Source Software for the inquisitive UK SME. The plan: Launch to the trade tomorrow (Mon 10th May) In IT trade press week after {work on www.open4.org shop - yes, I will be selling Mandrake, RedHat, SUSE, and sites based on XOOPS and OSCommerce, but need to pay the bills somehow - open4 membership is free} Launched to 'public' If you are a LinuxVAR, then sign up now and you will go far... The site is sponsored by Interactive Ideas, largest distributor of Linux in the UK, plus RedHat and SUSE. IMHO this is another great leap forward in the visibility of Linux and Open Source in the UK SME market and excited to be a part of the project. If you locate any teething problems please use the feedback form on the site. I will hopefully be needing lots of help answering questions on the www.open4.org forums where visitors are lead to for further info, so register on the site and make sure you set the notifications for the forums you want to be kept up-to-date with. Users will also be able to locate their nearest LinuxVAR or search by description, so make sure you get some good keywords in there. The vision is to help raise awareness and knowledge of Free/Open Source Software in UK SMEs. ***It is not a techie discussion forum"*** Please take your time to visit www.LinuxVAR.co.uk Thanks -- Steve Purkiss Open for Organisations supporting open source software www.open4.org
