[time-nuts] Prologix, Linux-thanks

[Patrick]

Thanks to Chuck, Jeff, Christian and John!

I was trying to do a quick test with a live CD in bash but the general 
message I have gotten is to fix the Ubuntu install. Indeed you were 
right and I was wrong.

I tried this command (thanks Jeff)

sudo tail -f /var/log/messages

I found out that I had a conflict with brltty. I don't remember 
installing a brail terminal!

It's funny it only had a conflict with the prologix device and not a 
usb-serial adapter.

Anyhow I am trying to communicate with the device with PySerial now. I 
am getting error messages back when I read but at least that's something.

Thanks again to all.

-Patrick
