commsbiff Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Hi, please could you let me know how you solved this as I have the same problem. I have recently installed 32 bit ubuntu 14.04 and I downloaded the .zip file for the gui Flirc.zip [v1.2.4] (Linux 32bit / raspii version). I extracted the .zip file and navigated to /Downloads/release/linux/ and double clicked the 'Flirc' executable file. This loaded the GUI, but neither the GUI nor my computer will recognise the Flirc usb dongle. I initially thought I have a broken dongle, but your post gives me hope. Please let me know what worked for you. ________________________________________________________________________________ Edit: OK, so I found the solution to my problem, which results from being a linux noob. As the apt-get repository is broken, the file neede to be downloaded from the .zip and opened as root. This is where I went wrong. To open as root i needed to type into the terminal (ctrl alt t): cd ~/Downloads/release/linux/ sudo ./Flirc Then it found the usb and setting up was easy. Hope this helps some other noobs ;-) Edited May 8, 2014 by commsbiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
