i just tried to get my spyder2 work under Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64.

I installed argyllV0.70Beta8_linux_x86_bin.zip

I used the Xss-Lib from the i386 repos. (Copied to /usr/lib32).

But it is not able to use my spyder2:



spyd2: Load PLD 8 bytes
Load PLD returns ICOM err 0x0

Looks like the instrument accepted the PLD pattern.

The md5 sum looks OK.

The instrument can be removed from the screen.


Looks like it timed out on trying to take a dummy reading. No idea why.

Sorry, I can't suggest much. It appears to communicate,
but not well enough to work. This instrument struggles
under Linux for some reason (I have to use a hack to get
it to work at all due to USB data phase issues).

Something to do with the USB driver, cable or card ?
