[Paparazzi-devel] difficulty installing u-center with wine

[Chris Gough]

Hi, I need to reconfigure my GPS but I am unable to install u-center (v5.08) on Linux (Debaan lenny) using Wine.

The error I get is during "Execute: DPInst.exe", after clicking through
the "Device Driver Installation Wizard" screen, I get "Cannot complete
device driver installation wizard; driver name: u-blox AG (ubloxusb)
Ports (09/12/2008 1.2.0.1); status: install failed ". I've tried it
with and without my TWOG+GPS plugged into the USB (same result)

I think Wine might be OK because Motorcalc works fine under it.

I think I flashed my TWOG (+GPS :) with the tunnel OK, when I power it
up then plug it in /var/log/messages has something like this:

When I:
dev-support-lappy:/home/daims# ls -l /dev/ttyACM0 
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 2009-11-24 21:44 /dev/ttyACM0

and:
dev-support-lappy:/home/daims# groups daims
daims dialout cdrom floppy audio www-data video plugdev netdev powerdev

so that looks fine. if I "cat /dev/ttyACM0" I get characters on stdout
(non-assci). I don't know why it uses dialout group for that device,
might have something to do with me installing wvdial a little while ago.

Oh yeah, I've also tried various combinations of linking com1 and com2 to /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyACM0 in ~/.wine/dosdevices.

What should I try next? please help.
