TiLP can't find calculator
« on: January 08, 2014, 11:18:54 pm »
Using the 1.18 beta, as well as 1.17 on Windows 8 64 bit, TiLP does not detect a TI-84+ SE plugged in with USB. I get an error message "failed to open USB device" on starting TiLP, and scanning for calculators results in nothing. Can someone help me out? The calculator connected fine with TI Connect (which has been uninstalled), so a bad cable or calculator can't be the problem.

Do you have libticables installed? And IIRC there was that one DLL you had to do for windows, not sure, though.

Where do I acquire them and how do I install them?

Bump. I'm also trying this on Linux. The computer I am using is terminal only. I installed the Ubuntu 1.16 package but got an error about an invalid linked list. I'm trying to build it from source now, but am stuck on building libticables. Configure fails because libusb was not found yet apt tells me I have it already.

Install all *-dev package of what it doesn't find. It's a common rule when you are compiling stuff, you need *-dev packages.
Also, not sure about the fact that a "terminal only" linux will accept tilp anyway since it has a gtk gui.

The computer is actually a server without a monitor, keyboard, or mouse, so I connect to it with ssh.

And may I know why you're connecting your nspire to that server you access via ssh ?

Well, I decided to try it on Linux, but the only computer I have with Linux right now is headless.

Do you have the udev rules installed? You have to install those to run TiLP as a normal user. Follow the instructions in lpg/tilp/tilibs/libticables/trunk/CONFIG.

EDIT: I didn't know you were stuck building TiLP. On a Debian-based system, run (as root):
apt-get install git autoconf automake libtool libglib2.0-dev zlib1g-dev libusb-dev libgtk2.0-dev libglade2-dev libsdl1.2-dev gettext bison flex groff texinfo xdg-utils libarchive-dev intltool

I got tilp built now, but I still get a corrupted double-linked list error. I'm running tilp with sudo, so permissions should not be an issue. Also, I think the problem on Windows is a lack of a driver. What driver should I tell Windows to use?

But I don't get what you're expecting if you're running TILP in a non-GUI environment (through ssh)
Also, I got the linking error when running as root on openSUSE and had to add the udev conf as detailled in the TILP readme.

It's still possible to send files from the command line. Also, can you show me where the udev conf is? I do not see it in the readme.

EDIT: Finally got TILP working in Windows. Turns out the driver wasn't signed, so I had to manually install it.

EDIT: The transfer of Bad Apple is failing 3/4 of the way through, just like with TI-Connect.
