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.
View 1 RepliesI'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 need to acces my garmin 305 to use Viking or Gpsman. I can't access the gps, :cannot open device.

I've found My Tourbook which works really well with my garmin forerunner 305, just run it as root.
I am having trouble connecting to my Garmin GPS unit, an eTrex Venture HC. I gather from all the resources I've checked that it my system is finding the GPS just fine, but I am unable to communicate with the device. Using gpsbabel, I get the following error:
I noticed that the gpsd service was disabled, so I enabled it, but that didn't seem to change anything.

When I click on Track/Download, I get: Failed to download tracks. Failed to configure USB: Device or resource busy The kernel driver 'dummy' is blocking.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFor some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.
I just learned that warsow 0.6 is out, and went to see if it was available in the ubuntu software center yet, as opposed to going and downloading and installing it manually from the warsow website. The ubuntu repo's still have version 0.5, and at the bottom of the page it says:
"Updates: Canonical does not provide updates for Warsow. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community."
So if I wanted to 'update' this item in the repo's for the better of the community what would that entail?
There are some updates in the Update Manager list which I do not install. Among them, some drivers for HP Printers (I don't know why this cropped up; I don't even use printers on my laptop), and gcj updates (I use gcc/g++ but not gcj). I unchecked them the first time I saw them on my UM list. However, for every subsequent batch of new updates, UM retains these updates and I need to uncheck them every time. How can I remove them totally from my UM list?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSo, it is my understanding that Ubuntu's automatic updates do not install ANY updates that are not "important security updates." For example, it did not upgrade me to Firefox 4 automatically; I had to do it myself (Don't all new browser versions usually contain new security features/patches? Oh well...That is a separate question entirely).
ANYWAY, is there some way to get the latest stable versions of all of my open-source software automatically (or at least all at once, on command), instead of just security updates? It seems silly to have to install new versions for every program manually.
Also, related/side question: Now that I have installed Firefox 4 myself (via apt-get by adding the mozilla-stable PPA), will I stop getting security updates for Firefox through the standard Ubuntu update manager?
Actually, a really thorough explanation of the whole automatic update system (or a link to one) would be great too.
How do i download and install updates? It says package not found.

I'm running CentOS 5.4 and noticed that for the past month there haven't been any new updates showing up either on 'yum check-update' or 'yum update' (I'm interested in basic and security updates). Although this may be right, I wonder if there is an online reference where I can check the updates that are released for CentOS (security bulletins) and make sure if there is anything wrong with my update system.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI am using Fedora 13 and I have one program (wine) that I need to start grabbing for the updates-testing repo instead of the default repositories in order to get newer versions. I think I can figure out how to add that repository, but I need to know if there are any others I need to disable or any other changes I need to make to my system so that I don't confuse my set up with conflicting updates.
Also, is there anything special I need to do to be sure that only that one program is grabbed from the testing repo when I run regular updates?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have windows 7 64 bits and i'm trying to install ubuntu 10.04 amd64. The installation was good but when i'm trying to boot on ubuntu i have a black screen with a message "mode not supported".
I've looked for the problem on google. The solution is to change the frequency of the monitor. Mine supports only 75htz max and on the error message I have 77htz, what's why it's not supported.
The problem that to change the frequency for lunux i have to be logged in linux in order to type commands in the terminal.
But I can't see a thing, only the message about the mode not supported, so I can't type anything.
I found some solutions here but i can't do what they ask, because I can't boot and the message doesn't disappear. [url]
