Oh, man, are you serious?



First. No one interested in you prev. email sending failures, right.
Because this is a noise, not information.


Do you need help?X

Second. Debian is a software distribution. What system are using is
possible to see, after `uname -a`:



#v+


olecom@flower:/tmp$ uname -a


Linux flower 2.6.18-4-amd64 #1 SMP Fri May 4 00:37:33 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
olecom@flower:/tmp$


#v-



See Linux? That means, that a guy, talking to your hardware is Linux, not
Hurd or FreeBSD, alright.

Seem, like very old doc. I've just prepared a snip from current doc,
which, you can find in the upload directory of my server:

OK. The main idea, that they are using standard serial port (rs232)
interface for communication here.

Is that all? His *is* the actual information. But there's no hint, that
you've cut it too late or too early. So, more output is needed.

Can we help you?X

One usb device with two endpoints(dmesg shows three). One with one (i
guess). Doc might say about what to use and how to use (but not that
you've quoted here). Try to look at sources. They provide sources for
Linux most of the time. Because Linux have stable API nonsense feature.
And those dude on Linux like to read sources.


> Trying something like: /sh thermodl /dev/usbdev1.1_ep81 t.txt  /results
> in an error.

Are you fan of the slash (i.e. `/')? Slash in UNIX-like OSes is
directory separator. It is *not* an option separator, like in the DOS.



`/sh' means loading for execution file `/sh', i.e. root directory, file
`sh'. But somehow shell got loaded and took the input, let's see.


> /thermodl.c: line 1:

Hgm. C file. Sources of the C language file.
This must be almost all you need!

> thermodl.c: line 2: `// Copyright (C) 2000 Dallas Semiconductor

The shell does not like text of the sources of the C langage from that
file. :-\


Can't find what you're looking for?X
> /Any hints on how to call the device?

``The data logger (DS1921G-F5)''?

Subject: bash, xbindkeys and dual screen

Message-ID: <46FB1CCB.5000005@gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit


Hi all,



I have a problem - basically with some bash codes. I have dual screen 
and one mouse, and I want to switch my mouse back and forth from screen 
1 to screen 2 etc by pressing a keyboard. In order to do that, I did the 
following:



  1.   install switchscreen, then by typing "switchscreen 0" or 
"switchscreen 1" will switch me to Desktop 0 or 1.

  
  2.   typing "switchscreen 0" or 1 is annoying, then I create a script 
/bin/switchnow like below:
########################
#!/bin/bash




case $DISPLAY in


  :0.0 ) exec switchscreen 1


  ;;


  :0.1 ) exec switchscreen 0


esac

########################



and make it executable, then now by typing just switchnow on terminal, I 
will move back and forth from Desktop 0 and 1. Obviously it works :)


Don't know where to look next?X

3. I install xbindkeys, find the corresponding key and create 
~/.xbindkeysrc as follow

########################



# shortcut 2


"switchnow"


m:0x0 + c:118

########################


Okey, everything seems to be done now. I press the key, and from Desktop 
0, I am switched to Desktop 1. But when I press the same key again, 
nothing happens. :(



It *seems* that when xbindkeys works and executes switchnow, the value 
of DISPLAY is kept unchanged to be :0.0. But in desktop 1, open terminal 
and when I type "echo $DISPLAY" then I get :0.1. I guess I wrote the 
script incorrectly, or did I miss something here?



I do not know programming, and do not know bash either. So please do not 
blame me if I am too noob to bash :D.



Thanks a million,



KC.

How is the DSL modem connected to your computer (ethernet, USB, ...). Is=20
that a PPPoA or PPPoE connection? If you don't know what I'm talking=20

I just thought I would fix that for you since you seem to be a graduate 
of the Sum Dum Dik school of English.

I'm truly sorry. That was a bit harsh. Perhaps some mothers can not 
afford a proper tutor of English Perhaps she was working long hours for 
low wage, doing her best I am sure, at some Czechoslovakian sailor wanna 
hump-hump bar?

No worries. You are forgiven.

I said it was a readme that was enclosed with the simple C programs 
enclosed.

And your sentence should have been /a URL.

/ Here's a little guide for you sweet cheeks:


        "Remember, using a or an depends on the sound that begins the
        next word. So...

    * a + singular noun beginning with a consonant: /a boy; a car; a
      bike; a zoo; a dog/
    * an + singular noun beginning with a vowel: /an elephant; an egg;
      an apple; an idiot; an orphan/
    * a + singular noun beginning with a consonant sound: a user (sounds
      like 'yoo-zer,' i.e. begins with a consonant 'y' sound, so 'a' is
      used); a university; a unicycle

If the noun is modified by an adjective, the choice between a and an 
depends on the initial sound of the adjective that immediately follows 
the article:

    * a broken egg
    * an unusual problem
    * a European country (sounds like 'yer-o-pi-an,' i.e. begins with
      consonant 'y' sound)"

Again, that flower thing just makes me laugh. Are /you/ serious? Why not 
just be more descriptive and call the box pansy? Perhaps change your

How did you manage to type that reply...   That is, with your head so 
far up your butt?

No worries. I received a reply off list that is pushing me in the right 
direction; just enough hints to make me work for the prize.


Sincerely,

Nick

Well, I remember doing something similar at a previous job. I was
doing quite a bit of Excel spreadsheets there, and over time this
spreadsheet I was using got a bit on the complex side, and would bring
the workstation I was using to its knees, with disk I/O going on
constantly. (The machine just was too underpowered, only had a 128 meg
of RAM etc.)

What I ended up doing was to get a copy of staroffice (this was back
in 2000) then copy the spreadsheet over to that, and then reload it
into Excel. That helped quite a bit, since I apparently had quite a
number of otherwise "unused" cell areas that still got moved in and
out of system RAM while I was working on the main sheet.

Please refrain from your attacks. 'Be nice to folks' is a general rule.
Insulting folks about background, sexual orientation, or language IN ONE
POST is beyond the pale. While folks here ocasssionaly make slight
taunts or comments at one another, it is expected that newcomers refrain
=66rom this behavior for a while until you become familar with the norms
on this list. Also, if you want volunteers help, especially on an
(off-topic) OT issue like getting a c program to compile on Debian, you
should be sugar sweet, not nitric acid. =B4on-topic' would normally be
'installing debian packages','upgrading distros', 'apt/dpkg/aptitude
problems','video card or network issue'. Someone compiling a usb
datalogging device program is usually someone who knows something about
Gnu/Linux, software compiling and hardware hacking. If you do not, then
you need someones help, that would be the nice volunteers here. we get
zero dollars for helping you, the least we expect is kindness.
cheers,
Kev

It also maybe useful to tell us what model of modem you have. And if you
have ever configured an ethernet connection on Debian. Most of the
configure is done in the /etc/network/interface file. 'man interfaces'
would give you some help. Also, 'lspci' would help us to know what
ethernet card you have.
