Well, at this point all I have is a Titanium to play with, so that's all that works.

No promises for the future either way.   ;D

Yeah, with anything, the more complex you make it, the more likely it is to break.

That's why my idea is to stay simple.  Wish you the best.

That's the idea.  Hopefully Lionel, Kevin and team will be able to get TILP, TIEMU and the rest up to snuff on the linux side.  The trouble with linux though is its lack of control in some respects.  KDE can decide to change their entire GUI basis tomorrow and anything that you designed based on the KDE libraries is now shot to pieces.

Of course the same happens with M$ and the rest, but linux sometimes does it more abruptly, it seems.  So by leaving the extra crap out, I'm shooting for something which will be a little bit more constant in terms of long-term usability.

Hi all,

I am a dedicated linux user and entering school now I am required to have a TI.  So I went out and bought a Titanium.  I have been through and downloaded and installed the different versions of TI stuff that I could find for linux and I find the present support for linux to be a bit out of date.

Therefore, I have started a new project with the objective to code some simple command line utilities to work with my calculator.  By leaving out all of the GUI stuff (KDE, etc.) it should make the utilities usable for a greater length of time with less maintenance.

I am currently able to do a directory listing, take a screenshot and get the device information listing.  This has been coded specifically for my Titanium over the USB link and it works.

Source and compiled binaries (for a 2.6 kernel and libusb-1.0) are at http://calcutils.tuxfamily.org

Take a look if you like.  There is a link for an email to provide feedback as well.
