Help!!!
I just installed Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon a week ago and I can't get the thing to detect my Starcomms Huawei ETS2556 phone. I'm using a USB cable not serial.
I tried "sudo wvdialconf" and I got this:
"Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.
Port Scan<*1>: S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6 S7 S8
Port Scan<*1>: S9 S10 S11 S12 S13 S14 S15 S16
Port Scan<*1>: S17 S18 S19 S20 S21 S22 S23 S24

Port Scan<*1>: S41 S42 S43 S44 S45 S46 S47 S48
Port Scan<*1>: S49 S50 S51 S52 S53
Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?"
By the way, what is setserial?
Please help so that I can finally kiss windows goodbye, downloading all those dependencies manually is a serious pain in the ass.

Wow! I feel like I'm lost with all this linux gist. I've been out of town (in a remote village) for a very long time. I sure hope to make some useful contributions when I settle. Keep the fire burning

sleep 60 && conky; have it in your home folder as .conky_start.shMake sure the script is executable: by running this in terminal chmod a+x .conky_start.sh and add it to your startup programs (menu: system->preferences->session->startup programs browse to your home folder and choose the conky_start.sh script u just created, if u don't see it right click and check show hidden files , there u have it , your own conky , here is mine u can see it on the right side of my screen , its a text based system monitor |

Its been a while since I have upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10 LTS Desktop Edition to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition.
I have the 7.10 version on my flash now I want to go for the 8.04.
I want to know if anyone has attempted it and how good it worked on the flash.
If there is no response till tomorrow I am going for it anyway.
I just want to know.
The only only thing that may slow me down is the .bat launcher.
