Hello all,

I have installed ser in Ubuntu Karmic by means of Synaptic without any problems or errors during the installation.
But before starting to configure the ser.cfg, I decided firstly to try the configuration by default and I got this error (I only uncommented the "log_stderror=yes"):

cng@cng:/etc/ser$ ser D E

It seems that it starts ok but suddenly finds an error and stops.
However if I run:

cng@cng:/etc/ser$ sudo /etc/init.d/ser start

It only complains about the ser.pid file.

I am a little bit confused. Where is the problem?

Thanks in advance,
