[Elecraft] K3 utility and Lbuntu 12.04

[Adrian]

Unplug and then replug the K3 usb interface, and then run dmesg in terminal.

Please tell us what it says regarding the device assigned to ftdi?

I did have a search for this, but I found no other replies, so I'm wondering

if anyone else is having the same problem.

 

I recently installed LBuntu 12.04 on my netbook which I use for updating the

K3, previously it had 10.04 LTS and the K3 utility worked fine, but now with

Lbuntu it doesn't seemed to work. The utility opens but it wouldn't pick up

the USB port connection.

 

I spent a couple of hours last night trying all different things, it seems

like Lbuntu no longer seems to recognise ttyUSB1, I even tried installing

PuTTY to see if I could change the settings using that, but no.

 

The only way I could get around the problem was to install Ubuntu 9.10 on a

separate small partition of its own and presto, without touching anything it

worked, just a bit of a nuisance having two operating systems when one

should do.
