[Elecraft] k3 utility problem

[jd.n2uz]

I have been away for about a year operating my k3 using Ubuntu and 
Fldigi and I am just getting back into radio mode.  Of course, with a 
new pc, new version of Ubuntu etc...there are some problems brought on 
my my forgetfulness.

Now am running the current version of Ubuntu and I just downloaded the 
K3 utility version v1.3.9.2 and when I click on 'Check Versions now"   I 
get...... Unable to connect to Elecraft server. Error: 127

This is my activity log....
16:55:07 Elecraft K3 Utility for Linux Version 1.3.9.2
16:55:10 K3 MCU version 03.04. RS232 speed 4800 bps.
16:55:14 Connecting to ftp.elecraft.com. Please be patient, this takes a 
few seconds.
16:55:14 Unable to connect to Elecraft server. Error: 127

Other problem is that I am using Fldigi and so far I am able to get a 
receive display, but not able to transmit,  looks like a PTT problem as 
the K3 doesn't go into xmit.  I am using  Hamlib, but my bad notes from 
last year had me using RigCat.

First I want to get the K3 updated and then I will look into the 
transmit problem.
