For years, I could install, and sometimes run, legacy private map software under Wine. But in order to connect it with my GPSs, I had to keep a separate hard drive with XP, and do that there. Then came a brief time when I could also actually make my Garmin GPSs talk with the software under Wine. I transferred all my data to it, and gleefully wiped XP off my machine. Then the connecting failed again, and has continue...

Followups set, hesitantly, to gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general I thought I had posted this to both these groups, but my newsreader doesn't show it in either. I have three Garmin GPSs (an Etrex Vista and two Rino 120s), which I want to use under Fedora 11 Linux with four PCs, and two IBM- reconditioned Thinkpads, T30 & T42. Garmin software suites (Metroguide USA and Topo US 2008) are installed on all the computers; both of them launch and run under Wine on all six. Both...

Can any of it talk to a GPS yet?? I have suites from Garmin, Maptech, Topo.com, and Topo (as sold through National Geographic -- the least satisfactory of all). Last year at about this time, it still took massive effort, time, and help just to get any of them to launch. Now a couple at least launch, and even run, quite nicely, just in plain wine -- except in the most important respect of all.

As most of you know, I've been trying to make GPSs and topo maps usable under Fedora Core 4 linux, using CrossoverOfficePro (CXO) 5.0.1. I've belabored nine or ten specialized lists for six or eight weeks, parcelling out pieces of the problem wherever I hoped they might arouse interest and knowledge. I've gotten invaluable help and...

...w install and run at least one, and the most important, of the four suites of such apps that I have. (That one is Garmin MapSource, including Topo US 2008. XP <gnash> also runs Delorme, Maptech and topo.com.) The one thing Wine can't do yet, afaict, is get the software to talk to my GPSs. XP of course does; I just hate running it. The Garmin mapware is useful under Wine for many things; but it would be a lot more so if I could at least get the data I have added so far to it into the Wine installation. Could this be done? I know nothing of actually connecting M$ machines to l...

...and re-work at various stages in the 'factory' on the total volumes of work at each stage of the factory - in order to trigger the change process in the 'factory' - we need to examine the end to end process - not add in more quality control. Going back 20 years ago I did this with GPSS, and it wouldn't be overly difficult to write this in Java or Perl or C or... however I'd like to try and do this in R in a vectorised manner rather than loops inside loops. I understand that this can be seen as a fairly simple MCMC problem and I've created a transition matrix for my 8...

Sorry to jump off-topic but you may be the person I need to talk to. I'm a new user of Linux/Wine (but have a ton of computer experience). I installed ImgBurn under Wine today and it appears to run correctly but does not actually write to the cd Is it ok if I pm you with a bit more detail? Thanks, Lou

Skimming through Fedora's routine updates, one day not long ago, I noticed the string "garmin" -- and just now thought to try one more time to make one of my GPSs (all of which are Garmins) talk to my legacy proprietary map software. IT DID IT! This is the best computer news I've had since I began running Linux, back in '98 or '99. It means I don't need Windows, ever any more. Blessed be the developers! Praise them with g...

...efurbished T30, which has handled Fedora well, up through F18. But it never took to F19. I'm in process of trying to downgrade, but that seems to be a monumental job. I have other computers, including a T43 and a System76 tablet; the T30's chief virtue is that it has a serial port. My GPSs and proprietary software still use the serial port, and none of the various USB adapters I've tried have done any good. But, way back when, I mapped a lot of hunting spots and game trails. I want to keep that data. Has anyone run CentOS 6.4 on a T30? How about Wine a/o virtualization? (...

...and over saying either something about permission (denied, I presume), or else about too many levels of symlinks. What I use it for is GPS/map software -- legacy proprietary stuff from Garmin and Maptech, to which I have added a lot of personal data collected over the last dozen years with my GPSs. I'm running Fedora 11 Preview on the target machine at the moment, and have failed even to install the legacy programs; there seem to be parts of Wine that I don't have yet; but the full release is due out in a week, and I'll try again after that. What I want most, of course, is...

I am working on a data set which has the waiting times taken of jobs running on a cluster. I need to come up with a method to use this historical data to come up with a prediction for the future. Even probably try simulating the full history (as in I have history of the job submission time and running time,etc). So I can run through the actual history and at every job submission, depending on the

I am new to Linux, Ubuntu, WIne etc but despite all that I am operating in Ubuntu 8.10, with MapSource 6.13.6 installed via Wine 1.0.1. I know there is an issue in getting MapSource to recognize the GPS while connected via USB but I am unable to understand the steps provided to solve this issue. I've been advised to enter "sudo modprobe garmin_gps" in terminal and to check the

...Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program wine --help Display this help and exit wine --version Output version information and exit [btth@localhost ~]$ Now, NOW, I can get back to trying to tell my topo map suites where to find my GPSs -- the grc.techtalk.linux people (who have already walked me through making symlinks in bottles in .cxoffice) think maybe that should be in .wine -- symlinking com1 and com2 to one or another /dev/tty ; but in which .wine? Should I do the symlink in both root's and btth's .wine? Or get rid...
