Vixen 2.1 on Linux

[mheuer]

Nice, just got Vixen 2.1 working in 64bit Xubuntu 12.04 + Wine1.5.

Running a 64bit distro seemed to be the source of some problems, but it works now after some hacks.
Specificaly, I was getting this error about fmodex64 when trying to start Vixen:
wine-fmodex64-error.png

It appears that Vixen loads either fmodex.dll (for 32bit systems), or fmodex64.dll (for 64bit systems).
So I tricked it into loading fmodex.dll (32bit) instead, by renaming it to fmodex64.dll.
And oddly enough, Vixen now runs fine without any problems.

I finally got around to trying this out. I just ran a couple of test sequences using Vixen 2.1.x on Ubuntu 12.4 inside VMWare Player on a Windows 7 box and it worked quite well. There were some errors that flashed by during the install which I didn't catch, and I skipped over the USB parts just to see if some basic plug-ins would run (Adjustable Preview and Grid Editor) and they did. One of the sequences was using the equivalent of over 12K channels. I didn't do any tuning, so it was a little jumpy/laggy due to display updates, but it ran quite well.

Thank you Jonpro03 and everyone else who worked on this - awesome job!

Anyone have any luck with the 'Network' trigger part ??

Quick question as I don't seem to be quite as happy as that tornado in the trailer park! I am not able to see any comm ports in the Profile Manager for my Entec Pro Plugin. I have followed all of the instructions including adding my user to the dialout group but the drop down continues to be blank. Where have I gone wrong? Ubuntu 12.04 with Wine 1.4.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Is it plugged in (before you start Vixen)?

I have tried it several ways. I have restarted the machine with it connected, restarted the app with it connected, unplugged, launched the app and plugged it in but to no avail...

Is it a USB port or an onboard serial? I had missed the USB serial part the first time

Would be USB : ttyUSB0

Well you got me then. I had to reload Ubuntu a couple of times trying to get everything right.
one time I had ttyUSBO (the letter not the number)

I appreciate you giving it a shot!! I have tried two different forums now and am not having much luck with this thing!

Take care
