Locked new computer, new install JMRI 4.8


 

I installed 4.8 and everything seemed to work fine until I clicked the "finish" button, then it says it can't connect and makes me go back. I did everything in this page as instructed:


I also tried the instructions under "what do I do if my (USB) serial port isn't listed" on this page:
although I'm not even sure I did it right.


First I'm going to try and attach a screen shot of my setup screen.


<a data-flickr-embed="true" href=" title="Decoder Pro Wizard"><img src=" width="320" height="185" alt="Decoder Pro Wizard"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>


I'm pretty sure it's on ttyUSB0 based on this:


<a data-flickr-embed="true" href=" title="USB output"><img src=" width="320" height="31" alt="USB output"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>



and here's the error window I get:


<a data-flickr-embed="true" href=" title="error message"><img src=" width="320" height="44" alt="error message"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>


 

ok so that didn't work.

error message:
setup screen:
dmesg screen:


did I mention I'm using Linux Mint 18.2?


 

Here is a different troubleshooting procedure for serial ports on Linux:

Open a Terminal window and put in this command EXACTLY (except for the double quotes):
"while : ;do clear;ls -lt /dev|head;i=$((i+1));echo $i;sleep 1;done"
Press ENTER and watch the screen as you slowly plug/unplug the USB device, watching what device appears/disappears and record the name. If nothing appears/disappears your device is not loading a driver.

You will also need to enter the following command EXACTLY (except for the double quotes):
"sudo adduser ${USER} dialout"
(This assumes "dialout" is the group shown beside your device in the list above.)

Do not:
* Try to bypass group membership by running as root. That will create further problems.
* Try to change permissions of the serial port you see. They will be lost every time you plug/unplug/logout/reboot.

Then logout and back in again so the group membership takes effect.

Then go to JMRI Preferences->Connections and the device name you saw earlier should be in the dropdown list once you select a serial connection.
