K3: Linux and HRD not on speaking terms

Gotta luv the K-Line, but I just cannot make the change to Linux due to
the lack of a K3 rig control program that will operate under Linux. I
have been playing with various distros and have pretty much settled on
Linux Mint 13 Maya. It does everything I routinely need except: It will
not run HRD under Wine.

I get the program to load, however I cannot get Wine to recognize the
USB port serial converter. Linux says it is there - Wine knows nothing
of it. Hence, HRD has no means to communicate with the K3. Has anyone
found a way to run HRD (old version only used for rig control) under
Wine on Linux? I have not gone to the dark side of virtual anything and
would prefer not to.

It may be that I will set up the K3 on its own dedicated Winners
computer and the desk computer for everything else on Linux. Easier, but
where's the challenge?

Suggestions or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill K-Line

Re: K3: Linux and HRD not on speaking terms

I'm having the same problem. One big drawback for me is that I am very new
to Linux. I tried N4PY's Pegasus Plus. When attempting to set up the com
port, it said every port was "already in use"???

I have waited a long time for Wine to support serial ports. I have
given up. IMO, Wine is intended for office suites and games and little
else. Although Morse Runner works well with Wine.

If your hardware is up to it, running Windows XP in a Virtual Box
virtual machine may be an option for using HRD. I have never used HRD
and am well satisfied with CQRlog for my logging duties these days.

You might look at:

https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=26721

The note about winetricks seems to be important.

I have not tried this myself, but it is on the list of things to
experiment with.

Re: K3: Linux and HRD not on speaking terms

I just spent a couple of hours in an attempt to understand and use the
WineTricks information. It was a no go for me, I just do not have the
expertise and Linus skills required.

Has anyone else tried this approach?
