I've been trying for a while now to find an effective track and waypoint manager on Ubuntu so that I can download tracks and waypoints via USB for my Garmin GPS-60 and GPS-60 CSX hand held GPS field units.Have tried a bunch of different programs, but still no luck. Has anyone been able to find a solution. I even tried to install dnrgarmin through wine, but that didn't work either.

View 8 Replies View RelatedJust posting this as it maybe useful for other people. There are some other topics related to running Garmin MapSource under ubuntu. I've got Garmin MapSource (version 6137) working under Lucid with a working GPS link to a Garmin 60CSx handheld. Actually, since I have this running, I have completely erased Vista and Win7 from my hard disk as MapSource was the one and only application which sort of kept me sticking to Windows. Here's a brief instruction. First install wine:
> sudo apt-get install wine
> wine --version
wine-1.1.42
Then run winecfg (as normal user); this will create a .wine directory:
> winecfg(just click OK when the dialog shows)
Now you can install MapSource. The executable is named MapSource_6137.exe. Copy it into your home dir.
Now do the following (otherwise MapSource_6137.exe will not work):

I cannot get map updates for my Garmin nuvi 1350LMT because Linux is not supported; but I was able to get Windows' version of Firefox through PlayOnLinux and that was enough to fool it and I got a lot further, but Garmin's website can't recognize that the GPS unit is hooked up to a USB port; though I can see the icon on the desktop and access the files.

I've found My Tourbook which works really well with my garmin forerunner 305, just run it as root.
I run computers that do distributed computing for cancer cures. I'm experimenting with running a version of Ubuntu that is specifically written for DC and can be run on bootable USB drives. The one I'm running now on USB works fine but there is one issue I need to solve. When I reboot the system or it restarts from a power failure I have to reattach the cruncher client(BOINC)to the each project and I lose whatever work units that have started. I don't have this problem if I use a HDD. I'm using an 8GB USB drive with 6GB of DDR3 12800 memory. Can someone explain to a linux novice how to overcome this issue?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIt started with Update Manager constantly recycling and not updating. When it starts it shows 295 files and 308MB waiting to download. When I click on 'Install Updates' it appears to go through the process, and then presents me with the same 'waiting to install' window again - and again, and again - in fact as many times as I care to click the 'Install Updates' button. No error messages appear. The 'Settings' button produces the same apparent process as the 'Install Updates' button, but doesn't present me with any other screen.
I've tried all the solutions I could find on these forums and nothing works. The sudo suggestions for Terminal usually produce error codes. adjusting a line in the 'hosts' file. When I tried this I was presented with the obstacle of not having access to the read-only file, and no matter how much I searched I couldn't find how to gain access . While investigating all these possible solutions, I was directed in turn to the Software Sources and Synaptic Package Manager applications, but when I attempted to start them, 'Starting Administrative Application' appeared briefly on the taskbar - and then disappeared!
Software center, update manager, Synaptic package manager crashes for no reason. I have not done any recent changes or downloads. I'm running a fresh install of ubuntu 11.04
5 gigs of ram
Intel dual core

After a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10-64bit I don't have Hardware Manager, Update Manager or Software Resources just to name a few.I tried sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade & everything is up to date.

Ok so I having the same issue as everyone else but it still exists despite the solutions other people are experiencing. Update manager, synaptic, and apt-get are not working no aptitude on here. Update manager says: An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, Eroblem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_ i18n_Translation-en%5fUS, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.' apt-get has errors with headers, finding files, and wrong file types. I have gone to a couple locations and the files exist and the hash is correct, and the file types are correct. I have tried replacing the sources file. I have tried sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update with the same problem happening upon updating. In the same exact areas.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to lighten the load that Ubuntu uses on my RAM and processor, and decided to try LXDE, as it is the lightest-weight DE that I have tried and liked. I noticed I didn't have any wireless connectivty under LXDE, so I checked the LXDE site for the solution, and it said to download and install LXNM, which supports wireless connections. Unfortunately, installing LXNM (apt-get install lxnm) also uninstalled nework-manager, and network-manager-gnome, on top of lxnm not working properly, and stranding me without any way of reinstalling the OS, and without an internet connection (I can't connect with a wired connection, either). Is there anything I can do, aside from reinstalling?

Wanted to access the session manager, but when I scroll to System/Preferences, there is no entry for it, or for the startup programs manager. Also, I'm getting the following error when attempting to open the "windows" entry: Failed to execute child process "gnome-window-properties" (No such file or directory)
Did I somehow botch something in gnome which is now leading to the absence of the session manager as well as the inability to launch the "windows" manager?

How do I re-enable it?I also have set YAST settings back to their originals with no luck.
