Re: How to get a Verizon 3g card to work

No luck. I also noticed another strange issue. Looks like lsusb is giving me 2 different product ids at different times.

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 106c:3b05 Curitel Communications, Inc.

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 106c:3716 Curitel Communications, Inc.

It seems like the first one is the hard drive ...

Re: How to get a Verizon 3g card to work

I saw that as well. That didn't seem to work for me. Possibly because it is recommending kppp and I don't have that installed. I'm using Fluxbox. Is there another ppp app that I can use?

I'm assuming that the usb_modeswitch is working properly. It didn't give me any error messages. Is there any ...

How to get a Verizon 3g card to work

Hello,

Re: [SOLVED] Salix 13.37 laptop logging off when left idle

I downloaded the kernel source and compiled it successfully. It didn't reboot on me.

I guess I'll give the 3D game a try. Any suggestions?

Re: [SOLVED] Salix 13.37 laptop logging off when left idle

Hmmm... I don't have kernel source installed and it has a little lock next to it in gslapt.

I guess I'll try downloading from the source code...

Re: [SOLVED] Salix 13.37 laptop logging off when left idle

A heat problem would make sense. Although it does sound like the fans are moving.

I would like to do some stress testing, but I've never compiled a kernel or transcoded an HD movie. Is there anything else I can do?

Playing a 3D game is probably not a good idea at work, but I'll probably take the ...

Re: Salix 13.37 laptop logging off when left idle

I first tried setting it to just one. The screensaver worked for a while, then rebooted after 4 hours.

I then tried just blanking the screen, then left it on overnight, and it did not reboot.

So, it appears that something with the screensaver is causing the reboot, but I don't think it is an ...

Re: Salix 13.37 laptop logging off when left idle

I believe I did see it log out. I was doing paperwork while the screensaver was on. I happened to look at the screen then the login screen appeared.

Besides, what other explanation could it be? Could it be rebooting?

[SOLVED] Salix 13.37 laptop logging off when left idle

Hello,

I have SalixOS 13.37 installed on a lenovo 61 laptop and I find that it automatically logs me off if I leave it sitting idle for more than an hour.

How can I debug this issue?

[SOLVED] scanimage failed: Invalid argument

Hello,

I am probably doing something wrong (as usual) but I am unable to get scanimage to work with my scanner. It's strange because XSane and SimpleScan work with no problems.

In the terminal, I type in scanimage --list and get
$ scanimage --list
