I tried the new api-mod for PCLOS today (usbb2k-api-mod-pclos2009) and had to revert to the older one as communication between the B2k Controller and the Telbox seemed to fail completely. All is still OK using the pclos2007 package.
Just a heads-up ;)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Seems it may be kbkskype 0.3.8-1pclos2009 that is causing the problems. Installing 0.3.7-1pclos2007 gets everything working again - according to reports on the pclos forum anyway.
The B2K Controller with Twinkle on its page needs to be changed for the older package and then all is OK.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I decided to try installing both new packages to see the effect on my working PCLOS system. The following errors show up in the Controller window, the first two when powering up and the others when I tried to change from USB to PSTN and back.
The relay in the telbox, which I can usually hear when performing this, did not 'click'.
Hi,
I did a reboot with the two newer packages installed and on launching Skype and B2K Controller I got the error that kb2kskype daemon was not running.
It appears, on checking, that the startup script for the daemon
> /etc/rc.d/init.d/usbb2k-api
is not present on the system.
By launching the daemon manually I could launch the B2K Controller, but it errored out as previously reported.
Seems the best option for the moment is to revert to the older packages which have been running without error for some time.

I haven't rebooted since but would not expect that to make a difference ….

Just to post an update to this …… I have been successfully running the following combination of packages sinc the above posts
kb2bskype 0.3.8-1pclos2009
usbb2k-api-mod 2.8-1pclos2007
Hopefully that helps others who met with problems using the 2009 version of usbb2k-api-mod.
