Hi all,
after days of unsuccesful tentatives, I try asking some help in the
installation of gnokii on my Kubuntu box.
Being at the first experiences with linux, I tried to manage with the
available documentation and forum posts, and get gnokii compiled on the
system. Unfortunately, it has not been clear for me what was I expected to
do with the DKU-2 driver, and this is where I'm stalled now.
I read that two ways are available:
1) install somehow a libusb driver (I could not find any documentation about
this point)
2) recompile some kernel part. I find some howtos, but I'm stalled at the
download of a linux-source-2.6.15.tar.gz file, to be used for recompiling.
How should I do, if my kernel is '2.6.19-24-generic' (from uname -r), and no
linux-source file exists with such a version?
I'd be very very happy if someone could give me some hints to move on.
Thank you!
francesco

Up to now, I've done the following:
1) downloaded the latest gnokii-0.6.27.tar.gz and launched: configure, make
and make install.
2) connected the 6230i phone to the USB port, through a DKU-2 cable
3) tried lsusb, that returns
$ lsusb -d 0421:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0421:0428 Nokia Mobile Phones 6230i Modem
4) tried phone identification by gnokii, through
$ gnokii --identify
GNOKII Version 0.6.27
Unsupported [global] connection value "dku2libusb"
Couldn't read /home/francesco/.gnokiirc config file.
No connection type specified in the config file.
My .gnokiirc file is set as follows:
port = 1
model = 6510
connection = dku2libusb
and commented out the last lines about the fake phone.
