xgnokii fails to start

Please report it with your gnokii config file, phone model and connection type. It seems that your hardware (probably serial cable) is not well supported by Linux kernel or you misconfigured gnokii.

I am very newbie with Gnokii. I have not configured it yet. Anyway I have Nokia 3120 & CA-42 cable. The cable was not connected when I started xgnokii. I found /etc/gnokiirc but I suppose it is the default one, see the attachment.

BTW in the same case, but in Dapper, gnokii version 0.6.12-0ubuntu3, xgnokii starts, but I can not close it normally.

Hi! Can you test if this still happens with Gutsy version ? Thanks

OK. Here's what I get when the phone is not connected:

$ xgnokii

Here's what I get when I start xgnokii, when the phone is connected:

Here xgokii freezes.

I remember they said in gnokii irc channel that xgnokii may ruin any Nokia Series 40 first generation phone's firmware and they recommend to use gnokii, instead. Maybe I should study how to use the command line interface. (If I remember right, they have some special repository where you can find newer version of the software. I tried it in Feisty earlier, and it warned me about the possible damage with my phone.)

Do you still use Feisty ? Try to upgrade to Gutsy...

But I use Gutsy already.

This should be fixed within 0.6.23 (and later) upstream version.

Hardy has only 0.6.22.dfsg-3 :( But I suppose xgnokii wouldn't work with my phone anyway. I have been advised to use gnokii and I am going to try once I learn how to use it.

xgnokii should at least give a graphical feedback that something is wrong. even if no phone is found.
for me it quits quietly when started from menu.
i'm using a 12d1:140c Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd 3g pen adapter.
network-manager in combination with usb-modeswitch succeeds to connect to the internet.

I'm using xgnokii 0.6.28.dfsg-1 with ubuntu lucid x86_64.
the phone spawns ttyUSB0 to ttyUSB3 using the kernels option driver.
xgnokii complains about the not excisting config-file when run from terminal:
Couldn't read /home/administrator/.gnokiirc config file.

I am using licid x86_64
and here is the bit of .xsession-errors when I start xgnokii and I have hardly seen just a blink..

I'm having the same problem on Lucid. When trying to start, the logo appears for a split second and then nothing happens.

I hope that the following fixes will be useful to future users.

xgnokii 0.6.29 doesn't silently exit when using the default sample configuration:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnokii.git/commit/?id=835e79

Mention that xgnokii uses the settings in the [global] section of the configuration file of gnokii

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
