GMountMan not getting data

Hi folks, I recently stumbled across GMountMan and think it looks like a useful tool. However, on startup it comes up with an empty display and only the 'About', 'Preferences' & 'Close' buttons enabled. It is as if I have no volumes on my computer which is, of course, completely wrong. I actuall...

kde installation failed to match settings to display manager

I installed Salix 14.2 XFCE to a PC a couple of months ago. Gslapt was then used to install KDE, and the DM login screen was then used to set KDE as the default desktop. KDEs 'System Settings' was then used to enable autologin. This failed to have any effect. A perusal of '/etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc' showed...

Re: suggested wallpaper for next version 14.3 or 15

I do have Alejandro's original xcf file, so it's easy to make different color variations... http://people.salixos.org/gapan/artwork/Salix_Wallpaper_light_blue.png I do like this one. Alejandro had it basically right, but the lightening improved it. Not too 'busy' so items laid on it will be clear, ...

Re: Can't get (e)udev rule to work.

.
'Shuffles back into forum with head hanging low, trying to look 'invisible'...
That got it. I corrected it, ran 'udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger' and a /dev/usb2nmea0 entry appeared. Duhhh.... How did I miss that? Thanks for your time, anyway.

Re: Can't get (e)udev rule to work.

Symlink not created. I have just run ' grep -rnT 6001 *rule* ' & ' grep -rnT 6001 *rule* ' on the rules directories. Only the following showed up in addition to my entry, but it is commented out. Anyway I did check for '/dev/gps*' but no such entry is being created. rules.d/97-gpsd.rules: 31 :#A...

Re: Can't get (e)udev rule to work.

ATTRS changed to ATTR, and no change. Even after rebooting.

Do you know how udev would behave if just one statement in the rule was garbage? Would it carry on and process the statements that made sense, or ignore the rule totally?

Re: Can't get (e)udev rule to work.

Hi gapan,
The system has had a couple of weeks of rebooting since . I have tried the file in both directories, even simultaneously at times. (Yep, grasping at straws.)

[SOLVED]Can't get (e)udev rule to work.

I have a 'Future Technology Devices' USB-NMEA 0183 transceiver and I would like the system to automatically give non-root access to this device. At a later date (i.e. when I get the code written) I would also like it to start software to log various NMEA sentences. With this in mind the device node ...

Re: Zen Nomad Xtra on Salix 14.2

Hi folks, It is now working with me. I am writing this reply as GNomad is transferring audiobooks to the Zen Xtra from my PC. I believe the problem may have been the connecting lead. The original lead being used was bought from ebay where it was described as a data lead, However (grasping at straws)...
