AstroEQ Support / Re: config won't run on ubuntu

I've sorted what I have been doing wrong.For some reason Indistarter does not start indiserver but entering  the command in the terminal works fine.Although I have not been able to try the goto in a night session on a test it worked really well and went straight to the target.Whereas under win7 it oscillated about the target before stopping.So  Tom thank you very much for your time and effort and good luck with the Phd       Philip

To install libjssc-java 2.8 I think I needed to upgrade my 16.04 LTS to 17.04.I did this and it failed to boot, I have had to delete the Ubuntu partition and reinstall 16.04. I think I'll wait for the next LTS version before trying again.In the mean time rebooting to windows when I want to use the scope works fine. just a little tedious.   Thanks for your help.  philip

Hi Tom
I have always had dialout permission so that is not the problem. I uploaded the firmware in Ubuntu. I have rebooted back into Windows, downloaded the latest config file and everything works fine. The motors purr instead of growl. I would like eventually to use Ubuntu but in the meantime I can use Windows.

It cannot be a hardware problem and presumably it is some problem in software in Ubuntu.

Do you have any idea of what checks to make?

Thanks very much. Philip

AstroEQ Support / config won't run on ubuntu

« on: August 04, 2017, 14:55:27 »

Hi  I've used my astroEQ for several years on Windows 7 and now want to use it on UBUNTU. First of all I found it difficult to find the AstroEQ config utility - LINUX. Could there be a link on the download page?  My problem is that when I press the config button absolutely nothing happens. This is what I know:  the ls command shows the files and I presumed I had to pick a number not shown. I tried four different numbers and none worked. When I went back to ls my numbers showed up.  (They disappeared after a reboot.) I could confirm that the AstroEQ appeared as /dev/ttyACM0. Synaptic showed AstroEQ as loaded but with a file size 0.  I am stuck  - can you offer any ideas?
