hi gahrb! I am also a Forerunner owner and had problems now and then. Your problem could be caused by the fact that Ubuntu loads the driver "garmin_gps" when a Forerunner is plugged in. This is fine for software that uses it. But the garmin-forerunner-tools or gpsbabel have own routines to access a GPS and are blocked by the driver.
Try to plug-in your GPS, then remove the driver with "sudo modprobe -r garmin_gps", then use the garmin-forerunner-tools. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1393233 Title: Unable to connect to Forerunner10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/garmin-forerunner-tools/+bug/1393233/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
