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.

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

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.

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
