Hi Walt, When it is frozen, can you ssh in from another machine? Ping, even? -Jamie On Tue, 24 Feb 2009, Walt wrote: > Nope, the ONLY two things that work are the light and NmLk.

Nope, the ONLY two things that work are the light and NmLk. These are operated (on my Lenovo X61s) using the Fn key. None of the other Fn key functions operate at time of lock-up. So I'm assuming a panic. Thanks! Walt Chuck Anderson wrote: > On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 07:44:05AM -0500, Walt wrote: > >> I can turn the light on (ThinkLight) and the NumLock.

It works well under Linux except for the ActiveX stuff like sound, which doesn't work at all, and live panning, which staggers. The motion sensor and recording is done in the device itself so your OS doesn't matter there. Also the only wireless security I can get my camera connected to my router with is WEP. When I set up WPA or WPA2 it won't connect. Not sure why. I haven't been able to google anyone with a similar problem. My other devices all connect fine. So I am happy with the camera and would recommend it, but there could be better cameras out there now for the money which I'm not aware of. -- Gary

Wireless Video and Linux

by Ritacco, Alan

Has anyone had any experience with wireless video camera(s) along with motion sensor detection and recording in Linux? Looking for what works well, what to buy, install, etc. Thanks Al

So the little house-shaped light with the "A" inside it that represents the state of the Caps Lock function doesn't blink all by itself? Because if it does, that indicates that the kernel paniced. If it doesn't, then the kernel did not panic.

I can turn the light on (ThinkLight) and the NumLock. Other than that, no keyboard interaction happens. Thanks!

Re: [Wlug] Fedora freezes

Walt, Next time it locks up, after you reboot, get a look at /var/log/messages. Page down to check the last entries before the reboot, which should tell you what was going on when it froze. Do: less /var/log/messages which will output the actual text of the messages that are being saved in the /var/log directory.messages. You might need to be root to do this --we do have to be root in Debian and in Ubuntu. Since you have: > messages > messages-20090125 > messages-20090201 > messages-20090208 > messages-20090215 it means there are several message logs that have been made recently. You could also output: less /var/log/messages-20090215 But let's see the last bunch of entries in the latest one. You could also select text from these messages, and google that for forum postings.
