[time-nuts] Prologix, Linux and bash

[Chuck Harris]

You don't have the daemon that automatically loads new USB
devices running.  I forget its name, but it is easily found
by doing a google on linux USB.

Or, you can look in Synaptic and search on USB.

If I get a chance, I will look it up later on this evening.
