i know i have the QT lib cause i apt-get that, but not sure about libusb or g++. sorry if this sounds dumb, but i just installed ubuntu on my laptop and still getting to know linux.

thanks

You have to

sudo apt-get install build-essential

this will give you the compilers. including g++

Lex Luthor thnx bro your post #11 help me a lot.

I followed the steps in post #11 and although it finds my V3x, I can't connect to it.

This is how I configured Moto4Lin:


These are the error messages I'm getting:

[info] Phone is unpluged. Please connect it
[info] Phone pluged as P2K
Try to connect
[info] Phone connected as P2K

[error] Unable to get drive name

I connected my V3x using the USB-MiniUSB cable. I'm running on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.

I selected the correct USB code (or whatever that is), as I did it according to this list (Terminal>lsusb):

Bus 004 Device 004: ID 22b8:3001 Motorola PCS A835/E1000 GSM Phone (P2K)
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:092f Logitech, Inc. QuickCam express Plus
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04b8:0005 Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus Printer
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Any ideas guys & gals pls?

UPDATE: Solved it! All you need is to run this app using the root privileges.

Go into the Terminal and type:

sudo moto4lin

It will ask you for your password. Enter it and that's it . It works fine. Now I just got to test out the features
