I live in a forested area. We have big owls and ravens. We think an owl got our kitty, but it could have been a coyote. I rarely see the owls but I hear them at night. They sound like demented chickens sometimes.. a mated pair. This is their territory. I don't know if I like the ravens or owls the best. The ravens are very talkative. I talk back and imagine they are replying. I am pretty sure I heard one barking back at our dog. We have pods of Orca whales too. (not in the forest) Who doesn't love them?

It is a shame the hiker or was it a cyclist, got killed. They are very shy of humans generally. A couple of years ago another man was gored by a wild goat in the Olympic Mts. Old indian saying: sometimes the hunter gets the bear and sometimes the bear gets the hunter.

Agreed, Orca's are beautiful creatures too.

Do you think you could install the driver on Mint if you haven't installed Ubuntu already?

So far I like Mint better than Ubuntu. If you are curious about how the problem was solved check out my post at Linux Mint Questions. Do you need a link?
