Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Porblem with serial conecttor (Gareth Roberts, antoine drouin)

[Stephen L Hulme]

Gentlemen, your advice and help is always welcome.

 

In the case of Gareth's (Re: GPSD) at least I could use the USB uploaded cable without incurring unlock errors within the Paparazzi Centre console. 

 

But in case of Antoine's advice none of the fixes worked for me.

 

I tried to re-implement the FTDI driver update referenced here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1327965

 

Unfortunately, the line: "sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r) fakeroot", in the following instruction set

generates an error saying the linux source, in my case, 2.6.31-16-generic cannot be found. 

 

Download the kernel source for the current kernel using apt and satisfy the build dependencies:

Code:

# cd
# cd
# cd kernel
# sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r) fakeroot
# sudo apt-get install kernel-package
# apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
# cd linux-$(uname -r)

 I am left with the choice, given my limited capabilities, to revert to a working distro, i.e., 9.04, if I want to continue 

flying with 'Paparazzi'.

 

I am sorry if I caused confusion for Jesus.

 

 Regards
