If your not using any serial ports for anything else, google says it's probably /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 You've probably seen this, but just in case: HOWTO_NUT

It's in /usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/whatever-size/apps

Right-click on it > Configure panel > Appearance > Button background > K menu

I'm sorry, I thought the one you purchased was usb. :blink: So your using a serial connection?

Open your Konqueror and in the search bar type /mnt and hit enter. Do you see a windows directory? If so, look for your files you need and copy it to your ~/home on your Linux partition, then open K3b and burn it on a CD. Edit: I see your using Gnome so instead of Konqueror use Nautilus, and instead of K3b use Gnomebaker.

I've found that on my system it works fine being run as user, I have had no problems burning CDs or DVDs.

No I don't, leave it blank... remove that line and try it.

In your ups.conf try port = auto

Here's a Battlestar Game for Linux, Mac, Windows: Beyond the Red Line

There's libglade0, libglade0-devel, libglade2, libglade2-devel in the 2007 repos.

Did you install the Jack sound server? If you have installed it, did you also install the jack plugins?

OK, take a look at this: Linux UPS Without Tears Maybe there is something there to help you. :huh:

A quick search shows that your driver should be newhidups. So check for a ups.conf, upsd.conf file and be sure that the driver is 'driver = newhidups'

I've never used nuts (lol), but do you have any hidden config files in your ~/home? If so remove them and try again.

Try to symlink it ln -s /var/lib/nut/belkinunv-myups.pid /var/lib/nut/belkinunv-Belkin-ups.pid

I agree with iph, I think you should install Sun java for this to work properly. To source your blackdown do PATH=$PATH:/opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03/bin then you shouldn't need to solve the NUT thread. :)

I would also suggest that when they report issues in the 'thread in Forum Discussion', that they also include their OS, OS version, and Browser... as some users are having problems, and some aren't.

Just use the gui software management... search for and install telnet-client-krb5-. Do the same for the openssh packages you need, or want installed.

I don't think so. :) Doesn't work. There is no package available for the current version of Firefox as far as I can see. And trying to install any other way--including urpmi--fails. The latest stable version for Linux is 2.0.0.3, and mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.3-2mdv2007.1 is in the repos. If your using 2007, mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.1-4mdv2007.0 is in the repos.

Tips and Tricks Here's notes for 2007.1: New_KDE_system_menu_button

I should have said, both the .wav and festival sounds the same on my system. Anyway, if you install, or have installed lame... I have found a toy for you (I know you like php),: <?php // define the temporary directory // and where audio files will be written to after conversion $tmpdir = "/tmp"; $audiodir = "/change/to/your/path"; // if the Text-To-Speech button was click, process the data if (isset($_POST["make_audio"])) { $speech = stripslashes(trim($_POST["speech"])); $speech = substr($speech, 0, 1024); $volume_scale = intval($_POST["volume_scale"]); if ($volume_scale <= 0) { $volume_scale = 1; } if ($volume_scale > 100) { $volume_scale = 100; } if (intval($_POST["save_mp3"]) == 1) { $save_mp3 = true; } // continue only if some text was entered for conversion if ($speech != "") { // current date (year, month, day, hours, mins, secs) $currentdate = date("ymdhis",time()); // get micro seconds (discard seconds) list($usecs,$secs) = microtime(); // unique file name $filename = "{$currentdate}{$usecs}"; // other file names $speech_file = "{$tmpdir}/{$filename}"; $wave_file = "{$audiodir}/{$filename}.wav"; $mp3_file = "{$audiodir}/{$filename}.mp3"; // open the temp file for writing $fh = fopen($speech_file, "w+"); if ($fh) { fwrite($fh, $speech); fclose($fh); } // if the speech file exists, use text2wave if (file_exists($speech_file)) { // create the text2wave command and execute it $text2wave_cmd = sprintf("text2wave -o %s -scale %d %s",$wave_file,$volume_scale,$speech_file); exec($text2wave_cmd); // create an MP3 version? if ($save_mp3) { // create the lame command and execute it $lame_cmd = sprintf("lame %s %s",$wave_file,$mp3_file); exec($lame_cmd); // delete the WAV file to conserve space unlink($wave_file); } // delete the temp speech file unlink($speech_file); // which file name and type to use?

If you follow these instructions: Software installation , you will be able to install it with your gui package manager or urpmi.

Mine sounds the same. You can also install lame and do lame date.wav date.mp3 try that, maybe it sounds better?

Could you give us a little more detail about how 2007.1 or 2006 would not work, perhaps an error message?
