I'd appreciate some help with running a Griffin PowerMate USB volume controller on my new 64 bit 12.04 desktop - to control / mute the machine's master volume, & scroll through cbr files.

According to Google & SourceForge, something called Gizmo Daemon / Gizmod was the way to go until a while ago, but I've only found one site on it that's recent - and the method proposed is a bit too much of a leap for me at this point....

I am very new to Ubuntu so ideally I'd really appreciate some clear instructions - and a ready-to-rock package if there's one out there.

Cheers, Dave - an Aussie in Glasgow, Scotland.

Thanks for that @mateo_salta - I did as suggested, though installation of the deb.zip failed :( Here's what the end of the text in the installation window came out with : Setting up moc (1:2.5.0~alpha4+svn20120224-1ubuntu1) ... Processing triggers for libc-bin ... ldconfig deferred processing now taking place dpkg: error processing /home/david/hesus-powermate_1.2-0_all.deb (--install): parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' near line 11 package 'hesus-powermate': blank line in value of field 'Description' – David May 17 '12 at 22:34

You can find an DEB-File on this forum:

It is currently only for older Ubuntu Version but there will be a new version.

Will the new version be on the forum, or a different location? – ObsessiveSSOℲ Oct 3 '12 at 11:25
