Mission Planner 1.2.50+ on Ubuntu Linux with mono

Newer versions of Mission Planner  (1.2.50+ iirc) need some additional mono packages to work on Ubuntu. They're only available in Ubuntu Precise 12.04 and above though. You can install them like this:

 

sudo apt-get install -y mono-runtime libmono-winforms2.0-cil libmono-corlib2.0-cil libmono-system-web4.0-cil libmono-system-management4.0-cil

If you have problems seeing the serial ports, make sure you're in the dialout group:

 

sudo gpasswd --add $USER dialout

 

(you'll need to log out and back in again to be sure any group changes take effect)

  • Good morning,

    I running 1.2.76 with additional packages and the add $user without problems.

    However, today MP ask to update and installed 1.2.80.

    After this upgrade I couldn't start MP again. Mono failed with mono MissionPlanner.exe': No such file or directory.

    I reinstalled 1.2.76 and all working fine.

    any Idea what could be wrong???

    thanks

    Dieter
