JDiveLog

...the open source logbook for scuba divers

Linux

This guide applies to the installation of the binary version (.jar) of jdivelog on Linux systems. The installation from the source code or from cvs is commited to well-disposed users only.

  1. Download and install the Java Development Kit 6.0 from SUN appropriate for your platform. For state-of-the-art distributions for this JDK
    an automated installation process may be provided.
  2. Download JDiveLog from sourceforge.net and install it with the
    command “sudo java -jar jdivelog-installer-2.16.jar”.
  3. On installation process you can install the RXTX-2.1 libs, which are required for downloading profiles from divecomputers. If you already have a working installation of RXTX, you should skip this package (this is also the reason why it is unselected as default)
  4. Be Happy ;-)

  1. Hallo Team!

    Ich war noch nie SO begeistert von einer Software und der Einfachheit der Installation. Linux ist nun schon seit fast 2 Jahren “mein” Betriebssystem und ich hatte leichten Bammel - aber es hat sowas von simpel funktioniert, daß ich völlig überrascht war.
    Nur die Links wurden weder im Menü noch auf dem Desktop eingerichtet.

    Toll wäre die Möglichkeit, “alle markierten TG aufsteigend nach Datum und Uhrzeit ab einer eingegebenen TG-Nummer weiterzunummerieren”
    45 eingelesene TG einzeln durchzunummerieren war etwas langweilig.

    Trotzdem “GREAT JOB”!!!
    Liebe Grüße

  2. Hallo Sabine,

    Danke für’s Kompliment!
    Das mit den Menü-Einträgen unter Linux ist leider so eine Sache, das hängt leider etwas fest von der verwendeten Distro ab.

    Eine Umnumerierungs-Funktion wurde schon mal gewünscht, ich hab’s bisher immer als nicht ganz so wichtig angeschaut.
    Es wäre aber trotzdem einfacher gegangen: 1. Tauchgang importieren, diesem die richtige Nummer verpassen und anschliessend die restlichen Tauchgänge importieren.

    Viele Grüsse,
    Pascal

  3. Running nicely, but no support for the D4….

    Will there be a version that supports the Suunto D4?

    There are many people out there with that computer and at least two of them would like to stick their linux box for dive analysis…

    Cheers,

    Richard

  5. Had this working nicely with earlier versions of Ubuntu with my stinger but since upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 it has failed to connect. Apparently the Java installation has been switched from Sun to open jdk. I have installed Sun’s Java but am getting javax.comm errors and errors about missing /usr/java/lib/packages/ext. Are there any bugfixes or patches coming out for this as I can find no help on the internet and java is a deep mystery to me. I have installed several versions of rxtx libraries with no benefit.

    thanks for the continued Linux support

  7. Hi Pascal,

    The software is great but I urge you to be more specific when it comes to the 64bit for Linux (or at least I guess that is the problem).

    I could not make the sw communicate with my Vyper dive computer after install. Following your instructions for Linux X86_64:

    After replacing the file librxtxSerial.so in folder x86_64 and copying the file into the amd64 folder and copying the file RXTXcomm.jar into the /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/ext folder everything worked perfect.

    The x86_64 folder on my comuter:
    /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre/lib/x86_64

    The amd64 folder on my computer is:
    /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64

    I am using Mint 11 and I am quite new to Linux. Thanks for making this great software!

    Kind regards,
    Kristian

  8. Hi,

    I thought it might be useful to share my recent problem (and solution) in getting the RXTX libraries to work.
    I recently upgraded to a new computer and installed Ubuntu 11.11 amd64. This is the first time I have used the 64 bit version of Ubuntu and I assumed that was the cause of my inability to get RXTX to work. Assumption, as we know is dangerous. I spent ages trying various different versions of the libraries without success.
    Anyway, I eventually went back to 1st principles and started to check whether my USB/Serial converter was being detected correctly. It was not. I could see the following in the output of dmesg:

    [ 913.751123] usb 7-2: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0
    [ 916.062590] usb 7-2: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by cp210x while 'brltty' sets config #1
    [ 916.065183] cp210x ttyUSB0: cp210x converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
    [ 916.065202] cp210x 7-2:1.0: device disconnected

    ‘brltty’ turns out to be a braile device, which now seems to be installed by default in Ubuntu. I uninstalled it and suddenly everything works again.

    Thanks for this excellent software.
