Help with Garmin Plugin

[Biciclettapc]

I need some assistance getting this to work so I can view my Garmin 310Xt GPS watch.

Derived from this youtube

I installed the ppa:s, updated and then am attempting to install the plugin

My code error

Code: Select all

paul@paul-K53E ~ $ sudo apt-get install garminplugin
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Thanks

From the message

Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)

it was probably auto-updating when you tried to install the package.

Check the update manager icon for a check mark, that's when it's idle.

Good luck

Yes, that must have been it, thank you!

Okay, still trying to get this to work. It does not seem to recognize the usb ant stick. I think once it does it should communicate with the Garmin.

In installing the code I get this error message

Biciclettapc,

The error message:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/garminplugin_0.3.20-1~raring_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/npGarminPlugin.so', which is also in package garmin-plugin 0.3.16-2

is saying that there's a file /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/npGarminPlugin.so that belongs to the package garmin-plugin.

Try purging the package garmin-plugin then try installing garminplugin.

Thanks, that enabled it to install but I still can not make the USB Ant stick work.

The Garmin-ant-downloader is installed, but still no ant device shows

This covers it, but I havent a clue how to install
