This will prompt for a password (your user's password, not root's - just in case you weren't sure). If it's a problem reading the file Robert mentioned, you'll get the same error. Otherwise, it might just fix the two broken packages. If MythTV was needing MySQL installed, it probably won't recognise it if you installed it from source instead of using the .deb (I've not tried it, so this is just a hunch). Cofion, Neil. P.S. I have my Motorola V220 working with moto4lin, although I had to fiddle about with creating a symbolic link and I have to run it using sudo every time. The /dev/ttyACM0 is the phone's filesystem, not just the modem. It's something to do with the custom protocol that moto4lin understands - not sure of the details, it just (mostly) works.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] motorola v3 phone
no, sorry. That won't work either. (You may have come across this before from me - I have posted it a couple of times.) Months ago, I attempted to install MythTV and all it's addons. When it got about half way through the installation process, it asked for configuration; for a MySQL database. I didn't really know what it was, thought it was some kind of online subscription or something. Recently discovered it was something actually on my computer - except it hadn't been in the dependencies list for MythTV when it was installing. So I _still_ have a half installed MythTV, and no MySQL. I can't install or remove anything. I tried installing MySQL through source (or whatever it is when it isn't a .deb - basically unarchiving a gzip and using the make commands etc), but my computer has NEVER liked that process.

[ubuntu-uk] motorola v3 phone
hi all has anyone managed to get their motorola v3 working on linux? I only run linux in the house (apart from a couple of old, decrepid windows laptops), and would like an easier method of file transfer than bluetooth - mainly because it's slow. When I plug it in, it appears to be /dev/ttyACM0, but I'm not sure how to mount it. I entered it under /etc/fstab, but did not know what filesystem it was, so it couldn't mount it. If anyone has any ideas, please tell me :P. Thanks, Farran <>-- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
