FAQ - Linux

Q: I don't see any choices in the COM port list
A: This is a quirk introduced in some newer releases of ubuntu.
  To fix:
    - sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
    - This adds the current user to the "dialout" group, which allows you (and supl!) to access comports.

Q: I can't connect to a Cycle Analyst at all
A1: this can be an incorrect COM port, or a disconnected cable, or the CA might not be powered up
  To fix: doublecheck COM choice, cabling, and ensure the CA is powered.
A2; the serial communicator needs to be executable
  To confirm:
    -open a terminal
    -navigate to the CA Setup Utility installation
    -run "ls -al ./data/supl.exe" and ensure the execute ('x') flag is set
  To fix:
    - cd /path/to/CASetupUtility/data/supl.exe
    - sudo chmod +x supl.exe

Q: When connecting to the CA I get an error: "Failed to read setup [...]"
A: This can result from a missing dependency.
  To confirm:
    -open a terminal
    -navigate to the CA Setup Utility installation
    -run "ldd ./data/supl.exe"
    -check the line beginning with libstdc++ points to an installed file; if not, this is the problem
  To fix:
    -on Debian and Ubuntu "sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6" should work
    -other distributions may use other package managers like yum (eg. "sudo yum install libstdc++*") or aptitude.
