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.

does Quick-Start run on 64 bit Ubuntu 16.04?
Re: does Quick-Start run on 64 bit Ubuntu 16.04?
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
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.

Hi Beala,
I got back to it and got this:
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.
