hi there dudes, well
this not a real problem but it is so annoying
I have installed debian sarge r01 from http, oregon state mirror
I make a clean base installation
no problemes so far audio, flash animations, videos... but there this thing that my keyboard is recognized in some way, I mean I have all the characters but the led's don't turn on, none of them
i can use the block number but the led is not working, by the way in windows it does work... i was trying to not make this question but it give the creeps... is there any way to turn on my leds just to know that the stuff is turned on....
another thing... is there any easy way to configure konqueror to read from usb memory sticks?
it is something i found on the web but it is too tricky...
thanks for the applet i'm reading that threat now, for the second question well, the problem is this, I have a memory stick lexar-media, and in windows automatically is loaded but not in konqueror, last search on google guide to a very tricky way of do it, something with the kernel, but I don't think is a kernel problem because I configured my mouse, and it is on a USB device, so apparently I have usb support, and in some of the booting messages, there some usb devices or ports not claimed, by the way I tried with discover but didn't gave any result, basically the problem is I can not use my memory stick on linux, distro debian sarge 3.0r1
It sounds like you are expecting it to be automounted. In Linux this doesn't happen without a kernel patch to the best of my knowledge, at least not with USB drives. Will it mount normally though?
Try (as root):
mkdir /mnt/usbdrive
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive
I'm only guessing at the location of the device, it might be on some other /dev/sd** or /dev/ub** in a 2.6 kernel.
OMG I think there is no other way, but to deal with the kernel, the fact is that I tried once, but at the end my system was so messed up, that I reinstalled it from scratch, my distro ok debian sarge 3.0r1 kernel 2.4.27 i think it's all... by the I made apt-get dist-upgrade recently.... thanks a lot for your answer, I'm going to read more about kernel patching, but I'm still a newbie
p.s. my keyboard is still a zombie, it works but does not shine hehehehehe.... at the booting it says something that at keyboard not found... i think that is the problem now i'm googling...
