Hi Lyn, Nate is on the right track.
Here is a list of the required Linux libraries and facilities that must be present and enabled for Elecraft Utilities to operate successfully on that platform. 1) 32 bit vs 64 bit Distributions The Elecraft Utilities for Linux are 32-bit and will not run on 64-bit distros. There are 32-bit compatibility libraries are available that will allow 32-bit apps to run. To install the 32-bit compatibility libraries from a terminal: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs 2) FTP must be installed on your Linux You will have to install cURL if it is not pre-installed. Most distros have it pre-installed, but not all. It is easy to install from a terminal: sudo apt-get install curl 3) Ensure our DialOut groups are set up properly Most users, other than root and members of the dialout group, do not have read/write permissions on the serial port device files. The Utilities cannot access the serial ports if the user does not have r/w permissions. An easy way to set the permissions is to add the user to the dialout group: sudo adduser << your username>> dialout Cheers, David -- --------------------------------------- David Shoaf/KG6IRW Elecraft International Distributor and Customer Support 831-763-4211 x121 --------------------------------------- -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KXUSB-with-Linux-tp7594439p7594446.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
