connecting TI Voyage 200 using TILP2 fails

ford prefect · 2010-07-24 17:26:29

Hello archers out there,

I was trying to get TILP2 working with v200 and Silverlink-Cable on my Arch machine, but no total success until now.
After installing the TILP-suite (that is libti{cables,conv,calcs,files},tilp) from the AUR I made a bunch of udev-rules i found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-427472.html

BUS=="usb", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0451", SYSFS{idProduct}=="e001", MODE="660", GROUP="users"
BUS=="usb", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0451", SYSFS{idProduct}=="e003", MODE="660", GROUP="users"
BUS=="usb", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0451", SYSFS{idProduct}=="e004", MODE="660", GROUP="users"
BUS=="usb", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0451", SYSFS{idProduct}=="e008", MODE="660", GROUP="users"

where the first one is applicable to my calculator.
Now if I start tilp, I get these Error messages:

Msg: failed to open the USB device.
Cause: Check that the USB cable is plugged in and that the calculator is turned ON! Also, check libusb and usbfs for valid permissions.
System: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden (errno = 2)
(last line translation: file or folder not found)

Msg: attempting to use a cable which has not been open before.
Cause: Internal error.
System: Die Ressource ist zur Zeit nicht verfügbar (errno = 11)
(last line translation: resource not available at this time)

I made sure the cable is plugged in (listed by lsusb as well) and calculator is switched on and in Main Window.
The kernelmodules I am using now are ti_usb_3410_5052, tifm_7xx1 and tifm_core (and dependencies).
Does anyone have a clue how to get this working? i bet there are other student out there willing to use those things as well.

So long, and thanks for all replies in advance

I've tried everything to get my TI-84 to work on Linux, and looks like you've tried more than me even. It seems impossible, TBH. My solution is Virtualbox + XP + Ti-Connect That works very well.

It's not impossible - I have my v200 working - but all those aur-packages were (one year ago) a big big mess. So I ended up building my own packages. Actually I don't remember if at all or which udev I applied - atm my /etc/udev/rules.d has no entry for the tilp suite. But you can try to use my packages here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/409122216/tilp.tar.gz

I'm sorry that I can't give you any details on this, but it's been a long time and I have simply forgotten - BUT with the packages above and (it seems) without udev-ules my v200 with silverlink is working...

PS: The file contains the packages libticables,libticalcs, libticonv, libtifiles, tiemu and tilp2...

PPS: If you're asked for dependencies - try to focus primarily on my packages - do not mix them with aur packages - there is a certain order of installation that I don't remember - but you'll see when you're asked for dependencies what to install first...

Btw, what Editor are you using to write programs? I think the editor provided by texas is crap - but haven't found any other yet...

Thanks for your upload, the installation order i used: libticables, libticonv, libtifiles, libticalcs, tilp, tiemu. as pacman did not complain i guess it was right.

the pity: its not working yet. starting tilp on terminal gets me

tilp: error while loading shared libraries: libglade-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

i think, it depends on a earlyer version of libglade, i currently use v. 2.6 (as in the repos)

i'll try to delete the udev rules i made and check for changes (though not expecting any…)

the PGBUILDS in the archive are done by yourself, i guess. they are refering to the old libti*2-sources, marked outdated in AUR and ticalc.org. so if this wont work, i'll maybe try to compile the latest release, but thats a later option.

what version of libglade do you use?

thanks a lot and greetz from the east…

@doorknob60: i'll not give up so soon 8-)

cl10k · 2010-07-26 16:06:58

I use libglade 2.6.4-1

ELFCLASS64 ? You use a 64bit system? The packages are for 32bit...

About the outdated sources - when I tried to install tilp a year ago, aur and repoversion weren't working - I always had dependencies errors - that's why I built the packages from scratch - all the sources are from Dec2009 - haven't updated my tilp & Co. since then.

hm, yes, using a x86_64 here, but i expected the libraries to provide the same functionality though…
i'll install the 32b-libs and try again

thx

Edit:
that wont work, i think i'll have to build it my own, after relacing the first there show up more and more i686-dependencies.
I'll use your PKGBUILDs as base…the adventure just began

good luck!

ford prefect · 2010-07-26 21:15:59

so,
compiling went fine after fixing some issues withe several PKGBUILDs. thanks a lot for providing your files, so i had not to invent it again…

now tilp is starting (nearly) without complaint. so, first, i need to call it with sudo, to get access to /dev (root cannot connect to x-server, whateveris wrong there…).
so as i start it with 'sudo tilp' he complains again
the output looks like this now:

and i get the TILP window. success so far.
But not further: the TILP window does not seem to have any calculator on hand. it looks like this:

so, what to do next? i'll give udev another try
so long and thanks for all the…

ford

Edit: udev doesnt help…as to expect

Hello, I've got the same problem with my TI-83+SE , connecting via Silver link cable. Installed Tilp + dependancies from AUR. Could anyone repost the rebuilt packages (originally http://rapidshare.com/files/409122216/tilp.tar.gz , link broken)? Thanks.

mike54 · 2010-11-08 18:57:56

Okay, I've found a solution. You can use the "su-to-root" script to run it with root permissions under your account (you have to know the root password, of course).
