Yes thanks, but r5ktest runs fine. I've carefully combed through permissions of the USB device. I can power the box on and off, and change channels just fine with r5ktest. It definitely has to do...

chkconfig kdm on
... but unfortunately it needs /sbin/insserv which is no longer there! Brilliant!

I am at my wit's end. I can not figure out this infernal upstart system.

Just installed BackTrack and encrypted the disk. It always boots to CLI by default. So I installed KDM but apparently it...

Understand that this is my laptop, which I carry from place to place. I need to be able to connect at home, -and- elsewhere.

Besides this laptop, I have a fixed HTPC, and backup server at home,...

I am trying to set up a profile for home and a profile for everywhere else, by manually editing the config files. It appears that with WPA the main way to set up multiple profiles is in...

No one else has had this blank screen lately?

Suddenly yesterday when I tried to connect to my remote machine, after authentication and the NX logo, I got only a blank screen. On the server it pops up a window saying, "KDE seems to be already...

stdPikachu be advised that that chipset will burn out soon if you don't do something about it. I replaced the stock heatsink with a Thermalright HR05-IFX heatsink & Arctic Cooling PWM 40mm fan.

Thanks, but nothing relevant.

My BT dongle only works in embedded mode, not HCI, so it basically looks like a USB keyboard on boot. This is why it works with BIOS.
