Wine and comport

okay, calm down.
Lets think about this. First off this is Linux, everything has permissions. Because of the lack of modern computers with Serial Ports chances are you are not part of the correct user group. In other words, no permission to access /dev/ttyS0 (the serial port). So lets add you to the correct group:

Code: Select all

sudo usermod -G uucp -a 'name-of-user'

The uucp group stands for "user interface for remote command execution".

Now try DreamUP again. If this does not work, check the permissions of the port with ls:

Code: Select all

ls -l /dev/ttyS0

Now we change the permissions:

Code: Select all

sudo su

Code: Select all

chgrp uucp /dev/ttyS0

Code: Select all

chmod 0060 /dev/ttyS0

Now lets check the permissions again:

Code: Select all

ls -l /dev/ttyS0

You should see something like this:

Code: Select all

c---rw----    1 root     uucp     2,  13 Jun  5 16:46 /dev/ttyS0

*NOTE: I did some research. Canonical has to be difficult and make the default group that has control of the serial ports 'dialout' and not 'uucp'. I think this is stupid since 'dialout' is supposed to be for Modems not Serial Ports. My first suggestion should use 'dialout' not uucp. Another example of canonical not paying to Linux tradition.

dear ryanvade still not working!
this is what it comes in terminal
user@user-desktop:~/Έγγραφα$ ls -l /dev/ttyS0
c---rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 Μάι 31 21:02 /dev/ttyS0

Okay. You can try running with sudo

Code: Select all

sudo ./DreamUP_Linux_1_3_beta

Perhaps the serial port is not ttyS0. Maybe the serial port connection settings are wrong. I would install cutecom

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install cutecom

Then run it:

Code: Select all

sudo cutecom

Then try to connect to the box from there. If it works then the DreamUP for linux is not working correctly. If it does not connect to then the serial port connection settings could be wrong.
