This IS NOT a request that anyone spend any significant time on this issue. I ask because the library reference error I got when I tried it looks as though the Linux application is expecting a 32 bit system. Since the windows version works for me, I suppose I'm just idly curious if anyone has gotten it to work in Ubuntu 16.04 - 64 bit.

I got this running and wrote up the process here:
http://www.usrsb.in/m2.html
The trick is you need the 32 bit versions of all of quick start's dependencies and then you need to set the baud rate correctly.
From the write up:
In order to calibrate the printer, you need to run the MakerGear M2 Quick Start. This is compiled for 32 bit systems, but chances are you’re on a 64 bit system and will need to manually install the 32 bit dependencies.1
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386
If you try to connect to the printer without setting the correct baud rate, you’ll get a timeout. Below is how to set the correct speed for your TTY device.
You should now be able to use the Quick Start as root.
Code: Select all
cd M2\ Quick\ Start
chmod +x ./M2\ Quick\ Start
sudo ./M2\ Quick\ Start

Hi Beala,
I got back to it and got this:
Code: Select all
root@hp2:~/makergearfiles/Linux - v1.2.1-Beta2/M2 Quick Start# ls
appicon_128.png M2 Quick Start M2 Quick Start Libs M2 Quick Start Resources
root@hp2:~/makergearfiles/Linux - v1.2.1-Beta2/M2 Quick Start# mv 'M2 Quick Start' Start
root@hp2:~/makergearfiles/Linux - v1.2.1-Beta2/M2 Quick Start# ls
appicon_128.png M2 Quick Start Libs M2 Quick Start Resources Start
root@hp2:~/makergearfiles/Linux - v1.2.1-Beta2/M2 Quick Start# ./Start
(Start:4545): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",
(Start:4545): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",
So I guess the question is where did you install M2 Quick Start. I'm running 16.04 as well.
And thanks for your post on this subject.
