GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 703219
Crash with USB
Last modified: 2013-06-28 23:01:34 UTC
So, I'm using a serial to USB cable, with the USB plugged into my linux box. Opening /dev/ttyUSB0 is no problem in PuTTY or cutecom, but for some reason opening this port in moserial makes it crash - one of those poof, now you see it, now you don't, kind of crashes. Please, if you know a fix or workaround let me know as I'd hate to have to use TerraTerm Window$ to do some simple xmodem transfers :(. Thanks! - Robert

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it. Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!
Michael - You're welcome man - and thank you for replying so quickly. I've been using cutecom (thank God from Linux :)), but it is rather limited. I didn't find any debug symbols for moserial, but here's the trace: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/95921622/gdb_trace_moserial I hope it helps! :D. (Cutecom is working - but it only can send, and not receive an Xmodem transfer, so getting moserial working would be excellent :)). Thank you for your work maintaining the program, too. - Robert
Probably a duplicate of bug 687230, which is fixed in moserial 3.0.8. Can you see if 3.0.8 fixes your issue? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 687230 ***

I ran './configure' (from the main directory, not the /src directory), which appeared to work, but typing 'make' now gives: ~/Source/moserial-3.0.8 $ make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. I'm pretty sure I have all the dependencies met (although I may be wrong about that).
Hmm, I can't test the make system right now, but you can try downloading via git and running autogen.sh, as described here: https://wiki.gnome.org/moserial#Getting_the_Code - Mike

> I was missing a package - duh. Testing now ... :) Appears to be working just fine - a test transfer was successful! Thank you Michael!
Just want to add a "thank you" to everyone working on this project before this gets closed. There are not many options for xmodem transfers in Linux, and I can honestly say I really like moserial after having used cutecom. Keep up the great work - you've allowed me to archive some old things I truly have wanted to get the Linux box for quite some time now! :D
