Yes, I rebooted - assume that would restart udev. I'll have a look at
the group thing tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

And now it's the day after tomorrow - didn't get near the computer
yesterday - and wasted most of the today trying suggested solutions,
some of which were out-of-date, without success. I'm too old for this
kind of thing - I might as well try and sell the thing, it's no good to
me I can't get it to work. I paid $227 on 22-06 and the next day I saw
HN selling them for less than $200 and I'm pissed off! Really pissed off.

Is there anyone in the group willing to come & fix it for me for a fee?
Let me know how much. I don't want to impose on the plug members for
free advice in this case, it's too much.

Or I'll sell it for $150, back in it's original box (and delivered
within 10km) and get something that works... Might be the best ides
anyway. Any suggestions?
