FineOffset Station not found!

[Luciano_SR]

Guys,

I`ve already searched for a solution on the forum but all other topics covering the Station not found issue didn`t help.

I`m running a desktop computer (not a Pi2) with Lubuntu 15.10 just for this weather station (used to run Win7, trying to get rid of MS).

Tested CumulusMX on windows and worked like a charm, moving to Linux I`m getting the following:

/CumulusMX$ sudo mono CumulusMX.exe

Current culture: English (United States)
Serial: DF705AC8BBB3890EFE82D2E7131FBB24

So.... any thoughts?

Do you have libudev0 installed? This is often the cause of this - it's mentioned several times in other threads.

[Luciano_SR]

steve,

If this is it, yes:

Code: Select all

~$ sudo apt-get install libudev0*
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libudev-dev' for regex 'libudev0*'
Note, selecting 'libudev1' for regex 'libudev0*'
libudev1 is already the newest version.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libudev-dev
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 19,0 kB of archives.
After this operation, 156 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] 

I`m running on 64-bit. Maybe is this the issue? Want something for me to help debugging?

Many thanks!

[steve]

It looks like you have libudev1 not libudev0. What does "dpkg -s libudev0" show?

[Luciano_SR]

Yes, you're right, I didn't have libudev0 installed.

Forced installation as it is not available as a package on Lubuntu 15.10 (I don't know the details).
After installing from http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/m ... _amd64.deb I got the following when dpkg -s:

Code: Select all

$ sudo dpkg -s libudev0

But still getting Fine Offset Station not found...

[steve]

In this recent thread, someone got their station to be detected by moving it to a different USB port - have you tried that?

https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=14635

If that doesn't help, download the test program that I attached in that thread and follow the instructions I gave there.

[Luciano_SR]

steve,
First of all, thanks for all the attention. This is incredible!!

So, I did try to use different USB ports, and no sucess from that.

Running your test software, we get the following (looks like it is able to open the station):

Code: Select all

$ sudo mono HidSharp.Test.exe
sysname=Linux release=4.2.0 machine=x86_64

That's very odd, then - the code in that test program is exactly the same as in Cumulus.

[Luciano_SR]

Yeah... Let me know if you have any other idea. I can even open my computer for remote access if you wish (but we'll need to set details in private, obviously).

So I'll remain using Windows until we solve this.

Many thanks for you time and patience! Have a nice Sunday!

[steve]

You could try replacing the Hidsharp.dll in MX with the one from the test program. It should be exactly the same (apart from the debug messages I added), but who knows. The only thing the test program does which MX doesn't, is to enumerate the devices first. Again, that shouldn't make any difference.

Perhaps someone else using Ubuntu could suggest something.

[Luciano_SR]

steve.....

Doesn't make sense, but it worked!!!!

Now I'm up and running on Lubuntu!!

[steve]

OK, thanks. I'll switch back to distributing the version of the Hidsharp.dll I build myself rather than the pre-built version.
