I've been seeing this on Ubuntu 9.10 since it first came out. I submitted a bug report to the Ubuntu developers but I haven't seen anything come out of it. I've moved back to Ubuntu 9.04. The USB device I use is the SignaLink USB. 73, Mike, K0TER _______________________________________________ fldigi-alpha mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/fldigi-alpha
