Running on Linux
Sorry I'm such a Linux newbie, but I am enjoying Ubuntu (Thanks Dave A)
How do I install the tar file in Linux?
Does the upgrade feature work in Linux?
Thanks!

Re: Running on Linux
I will be putting together a nicer installer for Linux, at least the front running distro's like Ubuntu (that is what I am usually using these days too ).
But for now, just make a directory and untar it.
To run, use the TunerStudio.sh script.
Auto Update does work, except a problem with restart. So when the update is finished you will need to restart it yourself.
If you make a startup link for somewhere like your desktop, make sure it is running from the app dir as a working dir.

Re: Running on Linux
I am very close to never having to boot my laptop to the Windows partition ever again.
I can even pull photos off my phone via Bluetooth in Ubuntu. Can't do it in Windows.
I need to download some VE tables to be sure, but at least reading and running, it works well with the Dell D600 built-in serial port. Much better than any of the tuning programs under Windows. Thus the Rat-Shack USB-Serial dongle I was using.
Will advise
Good stuff, Phil!!

Re: Running on Linux
Yeah, I've been putting Ubuntu on most of my newer machines. that is how I found myself without a Vista test machine I have 11 computers running in the house 5 on XP, 1 on 2003 Server and 5 on Ubuntu
I used to have a SUSE and Fedora, but those are Ubuntu now too.
Ubuntu is the first Distro where i may just be brave enough to put it on my Wife's computer one of these days

Re: Running on Linux
Hi Phil
I'm having trouble making a launch icon. I'm assuming I point it to the script file (*.sh) ?
It doesn't seem to do anything when I click on it.
Any hand-holding would be appreciated
Thanks!

Re: Running on Linux
Peter,
I got a chance to take a look at this. The missing link is the directory. If you create an application launcher with the right click on the desktop or menu bar, the working directory is not set, it just runs the script. So the script needs to be edited to change to the dir the app is installed in.
So edit TunerStudio.sh to look like this:
But change the "cd ~/apps/TunerStudio/" line to point to what ever directory you put the app in.
Then it launches no problem.
Again, I will get this cleaned up, I need to make an install script, but to be honest my shell scripting is a bit weak.

Code: Select all
cd ~/apps/TunerStudio/
java -Djava.library.path=lib -jar TunerStudioMS.jar
Then it launches no problem.

I'll try that
Should I have a directory off my home called /apps to put things like TunerStudio into?

Re: Running on Linux
Just installed TunerStudio in linux on my laptop as well (been meaning to do this for awhile). Very impressed, it just works. Havent tested it in the car yet, but will after work. Figured you might be interested to know that the TunerStudio.sh script in the latest download has the "cd ~/apps/TunerStudio/" line in it ;)

Re: Running on Linux
opps. What happened there is that I forgot to put a 0.975 linux build out, rather than try to check out the old code and build for linux, I just tared what was on my laptop that had been through an auto updateFigured you might be interested to know that the TunerStudio.sh script in the latest download has the "cd ~/apps/TunerStudio/" line in it ;)
I had to add that line to the sh script so the desktop launcher would work. I really do want to get a better packaging system for linux and mac.

Re: Running on Linux
Just to raise this topic from the dead: I finally got launch icons to work. In the launch icon properties, I had to chose type Type = Application in Terminal rather than Application.
I also had to modify the script per Phil's suggestions; now both MegaLogViewer and TunerStudio launch with a click.
This is Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
Thanks!
