gwoodhouse Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) I have installed the Flirc Interface on a linux Mint 17 KDE machine. The software seems to have installed correctly, however there are no drop down menus in the GUI. Is this an oversight, a bug, or intentional ? It is making the key programming process very tedious, as it is necessary to use the CLI to program for anything other than basic functions.

jason Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 That shouldn't be the case, can you give the beta a try, I compile it differently; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwoodhouse Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hi Jason, beta installed, firmware updated, everything now working to spec. Thanks for the fix and the prompt reply. Gerry W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwoodhouse Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 hi Jason, I was little premature with the Beta fix (Ver 3.3). Now I have a problem in that every time I start the GUI it wants to do a firmware update. Each time I start the GUI it indicates "Boot Loader detected" this is followed by "Firmware successfully upgraded". Then a "Firmware Upgrade Available" notice appears. If I choose yes to the upgrade, the message bar shows "Unsupported firmware try upgrading", dongle symbol shows disconnected. Advanced settings are all "greyed out". If I select "Yes" to upgrade, the GUI "drops out". However if I restart the GUI several times and cycle through the update procedure it will finally behave normally. At this point when I check advanced settings, the "Force Update" button will not respond. Platform is Mint 17 KDE (64bit) Is there any way of recovering from here ? Is it possible to downgrade the firmware, and then reinstall the update ? Thanks Gerry W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
