Rio Cali mp3 player

I'm getting really frustrated trying to install my Rio Cali mp3 player. I've installed rioutil and jrioutil as advised. I can get access to the player on the command line through rioutil but cannot get jrioutil to recognise the player. Has anyone managed to get this player to work in Mint?
I note that the program quits while running usr/local/bin/rioutil --info, however there's no such file in this folder.
I would appreciate any assistance as this (and syncing my phone) are putting me off using Linux permanently.
Many thanks in advance

Thanks Husse,
I have already tried this route but keep getting the following error
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/local/bin/rioutil": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory

I am assuming that rioutil is installed in the wrong directory but don't fully understand the error message.

I don't know if this will help, but have you configured your default java? For example,
Code: Select all
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 6 alternatives which provide `java'.
Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
1 /etc/alternatives/kaffe-system/bin/java
2 /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.0
3 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
4 /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.1
+ 5 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java
* 6 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 6
Using `/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java' to provide `java'.

Thanks, I appreciate your prompt response.
running the program I get two Java options (same as options 3 and 6 in your example) Option 6 is marked * and +
Does this help?

It sounds like you installed java 6? Then choose option 6 as in the example.

Problem solved (sort of !)

I got fed up trying to get my Cali to work with Linux. I sent an e-mail to Rio asking for help. They ignored it. If Rio can't be bothered with me I can't be bothered with Rio. Bought a cheap (£6) mp3 player. Plugged it in - works! £6 for 512mb and it includes an FM radio. Sold!
If anyone ever does get the Cali to work with Linux I would be interested to know.

If I have problems getting something to work, I usually do a google with ubuntu. For example, I did
"ubuntu rio cali"
and got this hit

Basically, a post suggests running the app as root. This is quite common. I have used more than one distro that required running amarok or gnomad2 to sync with my player. It comes down to how the app was packaged.

But it is not good at all to run something that connects to the "outer world" and even the internet as root.....
