Ah, pretty conclusive.

No idea what you're running, but if it's an RPM based distro then try this
command:

rpm -qa --last

If you know approximately when it stopped working that'll help you find
suspect package updates that may have broken it. You can always try
downgrading packages if you find a possible culprit (smart is good for
this).

If you've installed a new kernel, try rebooting to the old one (assuming
you haven't removed it).

I took a look but couldn't see anything wrong, sorry.

Cheers,

Martin.
