Config download error

[kaomao]

I keep getting this error "Can't retrieve config"
I saved a config into home/username/.emuclient/config but the gimx-serial still keep on asking to download the config.
Maybe I don't have the rights to read these config?
Same happen if I press the button to check for updates
Please help me
The rest is working fine.

Moved to the support section.

Read the FAQ, there are a few thing about config file issues.

[kaomao]

Already read faq
Anyway I did what's written there 1000 times, still I can't get it working.
What i get with in terminal typing this line "ls -l ~/.emuclient" is this

Code: Select all

drwxrwxr-x 2 mao mao 4096 2012-12-21 03:59 config
drwxrwxr-x 2 mao mao 4096 2012-12-21 03:57 macros

those are the correct user rights.
My username is "mao"

with this $ ls -ld ~

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x 30 mao mao 4096 2012-12-21 10:24 /home/mao

Anyway why can't I update ? it says "can't check version" maybe this is the problem??

p.s.
sorry for having posted in the wrong section

Are you behind a proxy?

[kaomao]

well no, my Mc and windows machines are working fine
I'm not a linux expert but what command from terminal should I type to check it???

[kaomao]

Confirmed I'm not behind a proxy: checked under "system settings/network/network proxy"
BTW I can update ubuntu, before I had problems with the ttyusb, downloaded the updates and then it was shown on the serial list.
Now I'm facing this, don't know what to do, I didn't do anything special..
thanks btw for the patience

Try these commands in a terminal:

Code: Select all

wget http://diyps3controller.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/configurations/
wget http://gimx.fr/download/version

and post the result.

This shows it's not an internet connection issue.

Type in a terminal:

Code: Select all

ls -l /tmp/configs
ls -l /tmp/version

and post the result.

[kaomao]

Code: Select all

mao@mao-desktop:~$ ls -l /tmp/configs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2012-12-21 12:32 /tmp/configs
mao@mao-desktop:~$ ls -l /tmp/version
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mao mao 0 2012-12-21 11:45 /tmp/version
mao@mao-desktop:~$ 

managed to understand that gimx config doesn't save file with .xml extension, so this was causing the problem about no config file. adding the extension to the file solved the issue.
Still I don't get why it can't update
