To get USB working correctly rather then disconnect with error required substituting:
usbfs proc/bus/usb usbfs auto 0 0
with
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=46,devmode=664 0 0
in /etc/fstab
It might also be necessary to :
sudo nano /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh
uncomment:
#mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
#domount usbfs “” /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
#ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
#mount –rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
sudo /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh start
I have and intel 3945 driver on my laptop which was working just fine until today (the fact that ugly blue light didn’t work on my laptop was rather a bonus) when I’ve tried to connect to hotel wifi and got a problem with my laptop not connecting to the network…
Luckily I had my PocketPC with me which connected to wifi without any problem… So I googled for the solution, downloaded and installed linux-backports-modules-hardy-generic_2.6.24.19.21_amd64.deb which enabled the light and got me connected…
I’ve switched to xfce from gnome. Much faster and less memory consuming enviroment (it’s not that I dont’ have enough, but rather I hate waiting for OS to do smth and I need all the memory I have for my work).
Just found the solution here to how to edit the xfce main menu:
# cp ~/.cache/xfce4/desktop/menu-cache-name-of-the-generated-file.xml ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu2.xml
# cd ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/
# cat menu.xml > menu3.xml
# cat menu2.xml >> menu3.xml
# mv menu.xml menu.orig.xml
# mv menu3.xml menu.xml
Restore:
# mv menu.xml menu3.xml; mv menu.orig.xml menu.xml
Still some things I like to solve:
1) How to open mani menu on “Super L” button
2) Is there a way to make CPU frequency plugin work the same masy as in gnome aka so I can change the frequency and the governor to my cpu. One solution is just to un gnome applet…
