I have installed the latest Easel driver for Linux (0.3.18) but can’t seem to get it working. I’m using Ubuntu 18.04.4.
After trying to troubleshoot online, I’ve tried the following:
-adding my username to dialout group
-used Gdebi to install (Package installer shows Status: Same version is already installed)
-tried Firefox instead of Chrome
I can’t get my Carve button to turn green. It remains blue and when I click on it it asks me to download the driver for Linux.
I purchased a new Chromebook after seeing in these forums that others were able to get Chromebooks working after installing Linux but I can’t seem to get past the Blue Carve button! I tried email support but was unable to get support because it’s a Chromebook.
Is there anyone out there that might be familiar with running Easel via Linux Ubuntu 18.04 that might be able to help me out?
I’m a newbie when it comes to Linux but I’ve been able to get the terminal commands figured out so far. I can try to provide any additional information that might help shed some light on what’s going on!
I’d love to get my XCarve up and running on this computer that I purchased specifically for carving.
Thanks so much!
I haven’t been able to get this to work at all… Just lists a bunch of nvm failures and doesn’t run at all.
Some proper install instructions would be good.
Will you please share what the errors are, either here or on the git’s Issues section? It’s hard for me to guess what you’re experiencing.
The installation instruction is a single command as documented under Quick Start on the repo and I just re-validated on a Pi that it runs properly with no errors for me but since it’s not working for you, I don’t know what software/versions that might be on your system that might be preventing interoperability.

Thanks, will you share the output of the following: ls -lha ~/ | grep nvm
These errors look interesting and are likely the root cause, though I’m not sure why so your ls will help.

If it’s not clear by next post, you can also email me at drv@samy.pl and if you don’t mind giving me a temporary shell (we can reverse proxy through my system so you don’t have to open any ports if preferrer) then I could do some further investigation, or we could chat live and figure it out.
bryan@laptop:~$ ls -lha ~/ | grep nvm
drwxrwxr-x 2 bryan bryan 4.0K Mar 21 03:36 .nvm
Thanks, so the dir exists and is owned by your user which I wasn’t sure of. Mind giving me temp access to this machine? I’d be able to figure out what’s wrong and create a new version to work on your system and ones with whatever issue is occurring. You can email me at drv@samy.pl and we can figure out a way to do that. Alternatively you could try running it from a different user…since your user already has nvm and there may be some issue there, maybe that’s related. Another possibility is if your network isn’t working properly, hence why it may not be able to download things…is network available and DNS working during these? HTTPS certs would likely need to match as well in case local cert list was out of date.
I have emailed you 
I have tried installation under a different user and problem is the same, network and internet access is available and working during installation… The first part of the installation downloads the original easel driver no problem.
I add also that .nvm folder is present but it does not contain any files.
