Hello Yellow Penguin,

That's not normal indeed. I think this is due to the PC mainboard, or bios
version, or something like this.
Usually, there is no problems to start the PC with the dongle connected.
But on some computers, you can't. I've this kind of problems on my desktop
PC at home : When the dongle is plugged when I start the computer, the BIOS
returns a strange error : "No keyboard found".
Maybe you've plugged the dongle on an USB-slot on the front ? You can try
to connect it on an other USB slot and see if the problem persist.

You can see if the communication has been established with the dongle's
LEDs.
When the communication is established, the LEDs will flicker quickly.
Otherwise, they're flickers slowly (ca 1 cycle per second).

To create a shortcut on the desktop, the installer must know the user.
Technically, this is very difficult to do, because the installation must be
done as root.
You'll find shortcut in the gnome main menu : Applications / Accessories.
You can create a desktop shortcut directly from here.

A feedback? Nothing to say, except : perfect ;)
1. tuxsetup 2.x doesn't install on this Ubuntu Feisty PC
I still have some troubles to make an installer for Ubuntu < 8.04 :
- openJDK can't be found on the repositories. So, the dependancies list
must
be changed to install sun-java6-jre instead of the open version.
- libtuxdriver.so has been compiled with a too high version of libc6. We
need
to recompile it with a earlier version.
I'm working on it, so I hope I'll be able to release a new package for
Ubuntu
< 8.04 soon.
2. I don't understand the last msg...
(> [25665.123126] usb 3-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by snd-usb-audio
while
> 'tuxd' sets config #1)
The dongle is a composite device. When you plug it, the kernel will load
the
drivers, and the drivers will try to claims the interfaces.
What happens is that snd-usb-audio (the audio driver for USB sound
cards) tries
to claim the interface0 ("Audio Control" interface defined in the USB
descriptor)
while the daemon try to set the configuration 1 (the active configuration
for this
USB device). This warning is due to this concurencial access. But that's
not very
important.
3. it seems something is really started!
Indeed, tuxosl has been started. It means you can use the TTS engine.
You also
can verify the other daemon (tuxd). Usually, I use the command `ps -ef
|grep XXX`
to find an XXX process. For example, to find all the process running for
Tux, I
use `ps -ef |grep tux`. If you use this command, you should see "tuxd".
But I see you're using an HID dongle. Maybe it will be incompatible with
the
actual tuxsetup, which is made to work with libusb. If tuxd won't start
(you can
try to launched it with "tuxd -debug", and see what happens), you can
compile the
last version from SVN :
http://svn.tuxisalive.com/software_suite_v1/daemon/trunk.
(build-essentials and libusb-dev are required to compile the daemon).
Monday I will create a final version of tuxsetup1.3. I'll also try to
fix the
problems with Ubuntu < 8.04.
