Hi Sam, what other stuff do you expect to see?=20



Is the listing given actually on the stick or do you know it is not?


Do you need help?X

With the stick unmounted what does ls /mnt/usb give you?



More information is needed.

Are you sure /dev/sda1 is your usb stick and not your primary hard disk?=20
  Do a tail -f /var/log/syslog and then plugin your memory stick. That=20
will give you some info as to what the actual device is.


Can we help you?X

Is kernel module usb_storage loaded (or built into the kernel)?



What version of Debian are you running?



The real console, or a GUI?


Can't find what you're looking for?X

What happens to syslog when you insert the memory stick?

I use knotes (for sticky notes), korganizer (for scheduling calendar events
and TODO tasks). knotes comes with all the features you requested.

If you have started with a minimal installation, you probably don't have
openssh-server installed.

/etc/services is just a mapping from ports to service names. It isn't
used for packet filtering, it's just there for your convenience.

you need opensync and then you can setup opensync to sync against it. It is a
framework to sync a bunch of calendar/todo/contact programs (mostly useful to
sync against palms/phones)

It doesn't exist a debian package for that module because perl modules 
are generally in the perl package. To use Time::HiRes, read the 
"perldoc" documentation[1].

I have a feeling that this issue is related to my not being able to install 
the NVIDIA driver. When I try to start either vlc or mplayer via the konsole 
I get this:
~$ vlc
VLC media player 0.8.6a Janus
Segmentation fault

and it crashes.
I think I have tried reinstalling both, with no success.. any clues or logs to 
look for?

After additional testing, I've decided the problem is that the router is

Since the "drive letter" of removable devices is subject to change,
I now use UUID values in /etc/fstab instead of /dev/sd??.  (Except
for /boot and /.)

# blkid /dev/sdXY
# vi /etc/fstab (Replace /dev/sdXY with UUID=3D"<long string>")

Also, if you have hal installed, GNOME & KDE should automagically
handle removable devices for you.
