Whenever I try and transfer an app it results in that error.

    Well... If you want to help us help you, you need to provide the usual basic pieces of information:

    • computer OS type and version;
    • TILP version;
    • calculator model;
    • cable model;
    • calculator OS version.

    Also, it would be best to provide provide the following extra information relevant to your problem:

    • an instance of a FlashApp which fails to transfer, though the only other thing which can be gathered from your message is that multiple FlashApps seem to be affected.

    Thanks in advance :)

    I'm running Arch Linux (rolling release). I'm using TILP v1.18 with the TI-84 Plus CE with the cable that came out of the box (I don't know the model). The OS is v5.2.2.0043. Also, how do I find out the instance?

    Adriweb made some FlashApp transfer tests to his 84+CE for me, they went flawlessly - as expected. So there's something with your setup, and we'll have to find out what it is :)

    Could you upload a copy of the FlashApp you're trying to transfer, as well as the terminal output when you launch TILP ? You can use Pastebin or equivalent for the latter.

    Does TILP successfully run as root ? If it does, then the Arch package I suppose you're using probably isn't packaging the udev rules file described in https://github.com/debrouxl/tilibs/blob/master/libticables/trunk/CONFIG , and you'll have to create that according to the contents of the "Groupless setup for udev >= 143 with udev-acl and ConsoleKit / systemd" section. This file is mentioned by the standard install script for libti*+gfm+tilp , https://ti-pla.net/tilpinst .

    Hope that this helps :)

    Here's the output. It did run successfully as root, though the same problem persists. I tried DoorsCSE then Graph3D and both had the same error. I'm using the AUR package, so i'll have to take a look at those udev rules. The files attached are the same ones from ticalc.org

    By the way, I happened to look at /etc/udev/rules.d/69-libticables.rules and got the same content as described in the "Groupless setup for udev >= 143 with udev-acl and ConsoleKit / systemd"

    I also tried the cable using my laptop's USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, both with the cable fully plugged in. That didn't help. Neither did clearing RAM.

    I'm also having this problem on Manjaro Linux (OS built on Arch Linux), with TiLP installed via the install script.

    (Note that it only happens when trying to install apps, aka 8xk files. 8xp files, or variables that would be viewable under prgm instead of apps transfer just fine.

    Interesting. I have no clue about why that happens...

    Could you close TILP, and then upload
    1) the complete terminal output of the TILP session
    2) the contents of the ~/.ticables/ticables-dusb.pkt and ~/.ticables/ticables-log.hex files, assuming they're not near-empty ?

    TIA.

      here's the output of trying to upload DCS to my calculator https://hasteb.in/cejayequpi.coffee
      I can't get any of the other things, because .ticables doesn't exist in my home dir.

    Here's the output: https://pastebin.com/k2SayrhA. Note: This is Doors CSE, not Doors CE. I can't find any flash applications for the CE.

    Also, I too have no ~/.ticables in my home directory.
