Pytrainer in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

Pytrainer didn’t work for me under Ubuntu 8.04, because my Garmin Forerunner wasn’t attached to /dev/ttyUSBx something which Pytrainer assumes.

To use gpsbabel and Garmin Forerunner, a command like the one below is used

gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f usb: -o gtrnctr -F /tmp/file.gtrnctr

“usb:” is the input device. The problem is that Pytrainer checks if the device exists as a file/directory, which it doesn’t. The workaround is to open /usr/share/pytrainer/plugins/garmin-hr/main.py and change

if not os.path.exists(options.device):

into

if (not os.path.exists(options.device) and not options.device == "usb:"):

Updated 04-05-08 12:41:
Philippe Piquer just pointed out that the reason it don't work in Ubuntu 8.04, is that the garmin_gps module has been blacklisted. According to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist because

# most apps now use garmin usb driver directly (Ubuntu: #114565)

Updated 04-05-08 21:21:
There must be a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules containing

SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="660"

    Hi Christoffer

    I tested Pytrainer on 7.10 but my update to 8.04 malfunction and I needed to install the OS all over again… So now I would like to reinstall Pytrainer but the dowload site on the Homepage for Pytrainer only describe the way to install on Gutsy and the older versions. Could you help me (a how-to ?) with how I should do… I’m still quite a newbie so please describe each detail, why not put it on the blog or the Ubuntu forum…

    Br,

    Hi Lars

    I just use the Gutsy binary, which works fine in Hardy.

    So you just add “deb http://www.e-oss.net/ubuntu/gutsy/ ./” to the end of /etc/apt/sources.list and then:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pytrainer

    That worked for me, let me know if it doesn’t work for you.

    Best regards
    Christoffer

    Ahh, you need the package libgecko2.0-cli:
    sudo apt-get install libgecko2.0-cil

  6. Christoffer Kjølbæk
    23. June, 2008 - 21:22

    And you might need to check /usr/bin/pytrainer, and make sure it looks like

    #/bin/sh
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox python /usr/bin/pytr

    And the libgecko2.0-cli might not be need… Can’t really remember, but used quite a lot of time to get it work…

    I think I find the package, python-gnome2-extras. So run
    sudo apt-get install python-gnome2-extras

    At least, my pytrainer won’t start when I remove the package, and fails with “ImportError: No module named gtkmozembed”.

    So hope that will do the trick for you? :)

    12. July, 2008 - 10:14

    Thanks… Now I got it working!

    Just another question, how does the worldpress extension works? Is there any user manual out there? Or is there any other “easy” way to put up your training on an own homepage? Remember that I did it long time ago with SportSim…

    Hi, I hope someone can help…

    I have installed Pytrainer on a AMD 64 machine running Mint Linux’s XFCE addition (it is the latest Beta but should be full release this week so seems pretty stable).

    Anyway I saw above you could use Ubuntu’s Repositories and install the Gutsy version in Hardy (which mint is based on).

    I installed everything and the dependancies via Synaptic but on start up nothing happens. Running from the terminal I get this trace…

    nick@nick ~ $ pytrainer
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File “/usr/bin/pytr”, line 38, in
    from pytrainer.main import pyTrainer

    import gtkmozembed
    ImportError: No module named gtkmozembed

    I searched the net and found a suggestion to install firefox-dev to install gtkmozembed but I still get the same error.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am doing a new ride in the jungle round KL and want to know where I have been!

    Hi Nick

    As I suggested July 9th, 2008 at 20:42, you have to install python-gnome2-extras:

    sudo apt-get install python-gnome2-extras

    Hi Lars and others

    I have been trying to get the Pytrainer WordPress extension to work – unfortunately with no success.
    There is only a limited help to find. I get an empty error message, when i try to upload data. If i run pytrainer from a console, i get several errors – some indicating a bug.
    So if anyone finds anything about pytrainers wordpress extension, i would bee happy to know. Maybe we can solve the problem together.

  18. Christoffer Kjølbæk
    30. September, 2008 - 22:20

    I cant even figure out how to use the WordPress extension :)

    But maybe this Swedish blog can help: http://webbservern.se/~jonas/wordpress/?p=712 ?

    Ok, er det meningen at den poster til WordPress hver gang man indtaster en ny træningstid?

  21. Styrmand
    30. September, 2008 - 23:54

    Jeg ved det ikke med sikkerhed. Det jeg har set er, at hver aktivitet får en ny mulighed for at offentliggøre aktiviteten på wordpress bloggen.
    Man skal bl.a. bruge en nøgle til Google maps, så jeg forventer, at man offentliggør ruten i bloggen, sammen med andre data.
    Den svensker du linkede til, skriver desuden, at han har eksperimenteret med at ændre på, hvilke data der lægges op.

    Nu må vi se om han svarer.

    i need to install phython-gnome2-extras in order to install Vodafone connection manager for E220. but when i downloaded it and try to install, it shows me some dependent packages.

    So how can i install phython-gnome2-extras to my machine with whatever other required packages to install E220 software.

    thanks

    23. October, 2008 - 14:49

    If you are running Ubuntu, just type:
    sudo apt-get install python-gnome2-extras

    And dependencies will be downloaded and installed together with python-gnome2-extras.

  26. Christoffer Kjølbæk
    24. October, 2008 - 17:49

    Well, apt-get says there is an issue with the Proxy, so there might be some problem with the proxy.

    Try this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96802, it might help you.

    Jeg har nu løst, eller rettere, lokaliseret mit problem med upload fra pytrainer til WordPress.
    Jeg bruger den danske udgave af wordpress – det giver et problem. Jeg har lavet en ny test installation af en ren engelsk udgave af WP og så kører tingene som de skal.
    Så nu vil jeg forsøge at skifte den danske ud.

  28. Styrmand
    26. October, 2008 - 10:59

    Tænk simpelt! Hvor mange gange skal man gøre den fejl her i livet, at man altid leder de mest komplicerede steder først.
    Nu har jeg løst mit problem med den evigt tilbagevendendende gpx.txt advarsel!

    I WP findes der under indstillinger /skrivning et afkrydsningsfelt XML-RPC. Dette felt skal afkrydses før tingene virker.

    Nu kører tingene, som de skal.

    Det betyder, at man efter at have læst data ind i pytrainer fra uret, kan vælge at offentliggøre turen på bloggen med et klik. Det er altså smart!

  29. Christoffer Kjølbæk
    28. October, 2008 - 17:15

    Cool, det må jeg hellere få kigget lidt på.

    Jeg kiggede lige på http://min-avis.dk/ole/?p=266, og det ser jo ganske godt ud. Ser også ud til at være en ret ok løberute du har fundet der :)

  30. Styrmand
    28. October, 2008 - 22:33

    Ja, systemet fungerer. Jeg ville ønske, at skaleringen var lidt bedre. Ruten kunne godt fylde lidt mere på kortet, så læseren ikke selv skal zoom ind., Det kan jeg måske løse senere.

    Det er en dejlig løberute – ingen tvivl om det. Den ligger lige uden for døren, så det er jo også en fordel. :) Men den smukkeste jeg endnu har løbet, er nu en gang Molsløbets rute(r). Jeg har skrevet om ruten i “Runners High” på bloggen.
    Jeg bliver ved med at længes derud, selv om det også er noget af det hårdeste, jeg har oplevet i forbindelse med mit løb. Jeg regner med at skulle derud om ca. 14 dage igen og løbe ½ marathon-ruten.
    Jeg kan varmt anbefale den 11 km-eren, eller 6 km. eren, hvis du er til løb i smukke omgivelser. Alle 3 starter med næsten 100 meter stigning inde i skov: :)

  31. Christoffer Kjølbæk
    28. October, 2008 - 22:39

    Der er bare så langt til Mols herfra, og så er bakker ikke lige mig :)

    Men hvis du en dag kommer til Sjælland for at løbe, så skulle du prøve Griseløbet, http://www.snikatletik.dk/default.asp?clicked=2042, det er også en ganske ok rute.

    Hi

    Now I’m getting back to you because I need some help again…

    My normal computer has left “earth” (RIP) and while I’m waiting for a new stationary computer I’ve both a eeepc that I’ve installed Intrepid Ibex. I’ve also installed pytrainer followed your instruction above.

    So, I start the terminal and write
    sudo modprobe garmin_gps

    and when I look in the log file it says the following.

    Nov 4 14:12:33 lars-laptop kernel: [ 342.488128] usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
    Nov 4 14:12:33 lars-laptop kernel: [ 342.710282] usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

    Nov 4 14:12:33 lars-laptop kernel: [ 342.714894] usb 2-2: Garmin GPS usb/tty converter now attached to ttyUSB0

    I change the settings in Pytrainer and enables the Garmin heartrate gps plugin. However the Pytrainer just freezes when I try to import an workout.

    Could you help me with this one ?

    Br,

    Lars

    The only thing I know that could be a link to this is that I installed Virtualbox and in the same time recompiled the kernel…

    Hi Lars

    I have the exact same problem in Ibex: http://ostehamster.dk/blog/index.php/2008/11/09/pytrainer-in-ubuntu-810-ibex-intrepid/#comment-669

    Are you running Ibex og Hardy?
    Are you using the OpenSource version of VirtualBox?

    I installed the official VirtualBox, and after that gps_babel stopped working. The VirtualBox package from Ubuntu, which is the opensource version with no USB support didn’t give this problem.

  37. Christoffer Kjølbæk
    5. February, 2009 - 19:30

    Cool, just solved the problem by removing VirtualBox, but it might be enough to stop the VirtualBox kernel module:
    sudo /etc/init.d/virtualbox stop

  38. Lars Modig
    5. February, 2009 - 19:48

    Tried

    sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv stop
    * Stopping VirtualBox kernel module
    * done.

    Without success. Well I try to uninstall VirtualBox then ( and yes I have the official one with USB support…)

    Br,

  39. Christoffer Kjølbæk
    5. February, 2009 - 19:50

    I am quite sure it is VirtualBox. My setup haven’t worked for 6 days now, and I have set two new PR since it stopped working, so have tried quite hard to get it to work :)

  40. Lars Modig
    5. February, 2009 - 20:01

    Yes without VirtualBox it’s running again…

    Thanks.

  41. Christoffer Kjølbæk
    5. February, 2009 - 20:39

    Cool. Or, it is not cool at all, but it is nice that gps_babel is running again. Will fill in a bug-report at VirtualBox.

    Do you run Ibex or Hardy?

  42. Lars Modig
    6. February, 2009 - 12:11

    Ibex… And I think the reason for that it was not possible to import data when i turned off the virtualbox with “vboxdrv stop” is that when I uninstalled VirtualBox I needed to reboot also to make pytrainer to work.

    Br,

  43. Christoffer Kjølbæk
    6. February, 2009 - 19:28

    Hmm, I did not have to reboot, just uninstall.

  44. Lars Modig
    7. February, 2009 - 16:55

    Ok, I have another question, how do you install the “UBUNTU VirtualBox” I add it at “add/remove software” but when I try to run it I got an error

    ”
    Could not load the settings file ‘/home/lars/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml’.

    Br,

    Lars

  45. Christoffer Kjølbæk
    7. February, 2009 - 18:34

    I don’t have VirtualBox installed at all anymore, but it could look like it is just the configuration file that don’t work, because it is in a never version.

    Different gpx files has different content, and you have to use the one from gpsbabel – as far as I know…

    Hi Lars

    I stopped using pytraier some mouth ago, because I got tired of the software, and because the Forerunner can show almost everything I need right now.

    When I want to extract data I use http://code.google.com/p/garmintools/ and I might start building (or help building) a GUI for this project.

    So sorry, can’t help you there. Expect that you might wanna check if some other server is running on 8081?
