I connect the phone with the cable and nothing. I do find it listed in the hardware list(at unknown).But that's just about everything. And the CD does not run under linux. Anyone can help? altemyr Joined: Jan 21, 2002 Posts: > 500 From: Stockholm, Sweden PM Posted: 2006-07-22 00:37 Many times when you ask for help about a problem in the computer, some Linux fanatic always answers something like: "Install Linux instead of that stupid Windows you are using and everything will work much better". Well, this is the time to say the oppisite: Install Windows XP on your computer and it will work Hope you understand that I was joking, but in some degree, I was not. The problem is that SE does not support Linux, and not any Mac OS either, it's Windows only. and preferably one of the newer versions. Have you tried installing some kind of windows emulator and run the SE software from there? The entire Linux environment is based upon contributions from other Linux owners, so eventually there will appear a Linux driver for your phone, or maybe you can program one yourself? If you have a Linux system, everything is possible... Access the forum with a mobile phone via esato.mobi New Topic Reply
