Hello Everyone,



I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.



I am running Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix on my acer aspire one.



I recently bought a Microsoft GPS-360 (manufactured by Pharos) unit, and decided to try to get it to work with my awesome netbook.



I downloaded tangogps through the synaptic package manager, it installed and the program seems to be running fine. I saw that it gets its gps data from gpsd, so I ran the program in the terminal, and it told me that it would not run without a device.



The gpsd website says it will autodetect the device when plugged in, but I read somewhere that this feature of the program didn't work 100% of the time, so I had to manually tell gpsd to find the device my running:

Code:



gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0



After executing that command I do not receive any error messages and communication appears (from what I know) to have been established.



However, when I try to run tangogps or xgps, neither of them can retreive any data from gpsd.



Does anyone around here have experience with getting gpsd to work? I am a ubuntu noob so there's a good chance i'm just looking over something obvious.



Any ideas? Thanks in advance, I really appreciate your time.

The Way fictional universe is a trilogy of science fiction novels and one short story by Greg Bear. The first novel was Eon (1985), followed by a sequel, Eternity and a prequel, Legacy. It also includes The Way of All Ghosts, a short story that falls between Legacy and Eon.

Main article: Eon (novel)



Eon chronicles the appearance and discovery of the Thistledown, and its subsequent effect on humanity. In the early 21st century, the USA and Russia are on the verge of nuclear war. In that tense political climate, an asteroid appears out of near space after an unusual supernova and settles into an extremely elliptical near Earth orbit. The two nations each try to claim this mysterious object, which appears to be a virtual duplicate of Juno. It is hollow and contains seven vast terraformed chambers. Two of the chambers contain cities long abandoned by human beings who seemed to come from Earth's future. The asteroid is called the Thistledown by its builders. A startling discovery is that it is bigger inside than outside. The seventh chamber appears to stretch into infinity. The human inhabitants of the Thistledown come from an alternate timeline, approximately 1000 years in the future. In their timeline, human civilization was nearly destroyed by the "Death", a calamitous World War involving nuclear weapons. The Death occurred at approximately the same time as the appearance of the Thistledown in the present time. Its presence threatens to cause the Death to occur on the current timeline as well. An expedition is sent down the seemingly infinite seventh chamber (The "Way", as it is known) where it encounters the descendants of humanity. The high technology of this civilization, known as the Hexamon, with its control over genetic engineering, human augmentation, and matter itself are some of the main points of interest here. The Hexamon includes several alien species who have come to live with humanity's descendants. The Hexamon itself is at war with an alien race known as the Jarts from further down the corridor still. In 2007, CGSociety organised a "CG Challenge" based upon Eon[1]

[SOLVED] Brother MFC-5460CN Multi-function printer

I have been considering purchasing a Brother MFC-5460CN printer as it meets my requirments of a multi-function printer with network and auto document feeder with Linux support. However, Openprinting reported that its has problems with Ubuntu and is rated as partially working.



Can anyone give me some good/bad feed back for this printer with Ubuntu or their experiance with another distro and this printer? What does/dusnt work.



Thanks

e: Brother MFC-5460CN Multi-function printer

Since no one replied with any suggestions or input. Have you searched the forum for that printer to see if anyone has used that printer and had any issues or problems ? Imo with the info from Open Printing knowing that their are issues and is classified as partially works I would say to look for another printer. Look for one that is classified as perfectly or mostly works. Also HP printers are very well supported in Linux.



Re: Brother MFC-5460CN Multi-function printer

Contrary to the Openprinting site this multi function printer works in Ubuntu. Further more, the setup could not be easier. Big thumbs up to Brother for producing low cost printers with excellent features and Linux support.



My setup is 7.04 Feisty 32bit using a ethernet connection, however some section may apply to a USB installation. I set a static IP address for the printer as the drivers could not locate it by name. Read the manual how-to set the static IP address on the printer
