Public bug reported:
Qlandkartegt ran just fine with my Garmin etrex Legend hcx under Ubuntu
10.04 but under 12.04 I get an error message:
Failed to download waypoints. Failed to configure USB: could not set
config 1: Bewerking niet toegstaan [operation not allowed]
I have to run qlandkarte as root in order to upload/download. Apparently
this has happened in the past and there were workarounds but I found
these no longer worked.
The GPS Babel faq recommends adding following
to/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:
# stop garmin_gps serial from loading for USB garmin devices
blacklist garmin_gps
However in Ubuntu 12.04, there is not blacklist file, it's been replaced
by blacklist.conf and that already contains the lines:
# most apps now use garmin usb driver directly (Ubuntu: #114565)
blacklist garmin_gps
Based on the GPS Babel faq, I also created a file
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules with contents:
SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="666"
This had no effect.
I had these problems earlier with the 12.04-beta2 after compiling
qlandkartegt myself. Today, I tried deleting that version and re-
installing from the repositories to see if the problem had perhaps
resolved itself. Unfortunately, I still get the same error message.
FWIW, here's a post to the Qlandkartegt-users list from March 25:
