Issue with Pop!_OS #255

Closed Feli-Heli closed 1 year ago

Feli-Heli commented 1 year ago

The program itself opens and runs, however, on Pop!_OS 22.04 I am unable to get RetroSpy to detect anything from the COM ports, even after giving the proper user permissions as stated in the guide. While Pop!_OS 22.04 is based off Ubuntu 22.04, I'm unsure if there's something causing a compatibility issue or not, and if RetroSpy simply doesn't work correctly with Pop!_OS, or if it's user error!

You rebooted after permissions? I will take a look.

Screenshot from 2023-02-01 19-18-16 I have rebooted, and this is all the appears for me, also, I am using an eletromodder v2. Not sure if that could be causing any issues, but it does work with the windows version.

Try "Options -> Don't Filter COM ports"

I'm installing Pop!_OS right now to see what I can see.

Feli-Heli commented 1 year ago

Okay! I just tried that but still the same result. :(

zoggins commented 1 year ago

sudo apt-get remove brltty reboot

Should fix your problem

Feli-Heli commented 1 year ago

Thank you! It does work now!

I added Pop!_OS to the optional step that says to remove that package.
