Martin, Thank you for the adduser suggestion: indeed root can start seyon. I shall add myself to dialout.
There is another problem, however. This is the message: Locating Modems... >> Error: Could not get linux serial info: Invalid argument. >> Warning: invalid default BPS value: 9600. Modem `/dev/ttyI0'' is Available. >> Error: /OFV/ Could not open the file Startup'. >> Notice: Tried the default directory ~/.seyon'. >> Notice: Tried the current directory. The message about the directory ~/.seyon and the startup files is obvious: I'll fix this when running seyon as a user. The warning about the BPS value could be a consequence of the error about "linux serial info" (whatever it is): when I try to select another BPS, in fact, the error about the serial info comes up again. Any idea? Thank you, Remo ___________________________________________________________________ | Dr. Remo | __ _ Debian User | Paul Scherrer Institute | | Badii | / /(_)_ __ _ ___ __ | CH-5232 Villigen | | Nonlinear | / / | | '_ \| | | \ \/ / | Switzerland | | Dynamics | / /__| | | | | |_| |> < | | | Stochastic | \____/_|_| |_|\__,_/_/\_\ | badii "at" psi.ch | | Processes | | www1.psi.ch/~badii | |____________|____________________________|_________________________|
