[plug] DMESG Output

[Daniel Pearson]

Hrm.. #2 I don't know how to do, and in regards to #3:
root at fs01:/home/flashware# apt-get install smartsuite
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package smartsuite is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package smartsuite has no installation candidate
