Linux Help

[Williwaw]

My Windows box broke so I am using my ol' trusty Linux machine. I normally only use it for email, web, office, ect so I was wondering if someone out there could give me a quick tutorial or offer a good link on how to use MultWii GUI and Arduino with Linux. When I click on the icon that seems like it should open the program nothing happens. Thanks for the help.

100% linux supported ..

use the commande chmod +x ..

chmod +x MultiWiiConf_2_0_preversion2 ; ./MultiWiiConf_2_0_preversion2

Thanks kos,
I gave it a shot, but could not get it to work. I will work some more on it to see if I can get it to work. Do I need to keep the files on the desktop when using the chmod[...] in the terminal window? If it makes any difference, I am using Ubuntu.
Overall, have to say it's pretty nice. I forget how much faster it is than Windows. I could spend hours-->days in the software centrer...lots of neat stuff in there.
-Thanks

I wrote a short HOWTO for Ubuntu a while ago here: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=998
