    The atty is a 24mm Dvarw  The coil is a MTL clapton all ni80 (pc coils) Sorry how would i find room temp for mod & atty ?

    Battery contacts are all clean.

    Try using temperature sensing capable wire for your coils.

    📛 Running Escribe-Suite in LINUX outright, WILL MOST LIKELY NOT WORK. It needs to be updated by the developers.
    Why?  Because an OLD version of mono is required.   This can be worked around but maybe too difficult for most.  A lot of factors go into it being a quick fix or a long one.  This is NOT the right or best way to do it.  To simply get the application running no matter what, use VirtualBox.

    Assumptions:  User already knows the basics of virtualbox. Do not let ubuntu upgrade the VM to 18.04 or 20.04.  We want the software locked in time.  This OS will only be spun up to run the app.

    How to install and run Escribe-Suite ?

    
    # Create and START VM using an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Desktop iso.
    # Login using the GUI shown in the VirtualBox Console.
    # Open a Terminal
    cd ~/Desktop
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt upgrade -fy
    wget https://downloads.evolvapor.com/SetupEScribe2_SP19_US.run
    chmod +x ./SetupEScribe2_SP19_US.run
    cd ~/.local/opt/evolv/escribe-suite
    ./launch-escribe-suite


    How pass your USB DNA Device to the VirtualMachine ?

    
    # Right+Click on the USB icon on the lower right panel of the VirtualMachine Console window.
    # Choose your DNA device.

    Wow, thank you!

    I have had multiple Linux distributions run Escribe previously and Escribe is loaded on the Linux Mint drive of the computer I'm on at the moment. I'm just liking MX and would like to have one distro with all my stuff on it. After Escribe my next hurdle is the fingerprint reader on my T430 which does work in Mint as well, it's just a James Bond cool thing IMHO.  

    Before I go VM, I'm going to load an older version of Linux MX, a version prior to them dropping the LBSs, then load 19.1 MX through a terminal which I hope will retain the LBSs I didn't get with Buster version. 

    It may just end up being that the Linux Mint goes on the 255Gb SSD drive but I'd rather the MX, just a preference thing.

    Cheers!

    If and when you answer, include (always) the distro, (in your case mx Linux) & version, the desktop environment you are using, which escribe version you are trying to install. All helps others like myself answer questions more directly. 

    Keep in mind most of us are not employed by escribe, we are just people that are willing to help, and trust me I understand frustration sometimes, where some answer like you are an idiot or downright mean in response. But try and keep in mind the ones that are trying are doing it because they are nice people. With so many different distros out there and versions of kernels, software, and hardware, not everything goes together with out a BFH lol. 

     

    But I have it installed on multiple distros, mx Linux is one of my favorites as it easily supports steam games (with lutris help). I have an Orion DNA and have taken allot of time to adjust it so my coils last week's not days. So hats off the the OP that made the port! 

    Glad to hear it's just me, I kind of assumed that much already without mention of MX Linux here in the forums.

    I appreciate your offer! I'm an old timer here and know this is a community effort deal, bought a HP Stream 7 when Escribe launched just to have Windows originally to run Escribe.  

    I'm liking MX Linux as well and this is the reason for the effort at this install, I may nix my HHD for a SSD.

    You asked for it, Hehehehe

    I'm dual booted in a Lenovo Thinkpad T430, HHD of 500Gb has Linux Mint and the 255Gb SSD has the Linux MX.

     echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
    XFCE


    PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
    NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
    VERSION_ID="10"
    VERSION="10 (buster)"
    Likely at least part of the problem.

    lsb_release -a
    No LSB modules are available. 

     

    And the installation of LSB couldn't find which anchor point to install to so it looks like another install of Linux MX could be in order?

    Edit: I'm finding references to peripheral manufacturers for LSBs so I'm just going to lay low on this for a while and see where it goes.  As of the Buster release the OS no long carriers the LSBs as to the best of my knowledge.

    You may be fighting a losing battle. Linux beta on chrome book may not support usb devices.

    @Podunk Steam

    Linux MX has a desktop environment so terminal may not be needed at all. 

    Right click the escribe file. Look for a permissions tab, and check for a box (or something) referring to making it executable. 

    My earlier post about chmod requires "+x" not "-x", I mistyped and didn't catch it until I posted. It was edited immediately, but you may not have been notified... 

    The notes you are seeing are due to permissions on the file. If it was downloaded with a su account it requires root permissions. Download the file in your standard user account to give yourself permissions to the file, and make it executable in whatever way you find easiest. (permissions can be changed as it is but it would be tricky to type everything required on my phone)

    LMAO! One slip of the pen they say. I'll go rub up against this again with a + and see if I can turn it on. 

    Edit: Sorry, I didn't mention that's how I've been making the file executable, through the desktop that is.

    Nope, wasn't downloaded under a su account, I'm pretty sure I managed that through the terminal inadvertently. 

    This is a pretty fresh install of Linux MX on a 255Gb SSD drive in a Lenovo T430 with Linux Mint on the 500Gb HHD with Escribe on it, the system is dual booted.  Windows 7 Pro crapped out after not being accessed or updated forever so it got nixxed.  Not really a Windows fan honestly.

    I'm kinda fond of Linux MX and may eventually change out the HHD for 500Gb SSD would be the reason for the efforts. 

    I appreciate the efforts you've made.

    As long as the file does have executable permission it should work to run it. 

    If you are in the directory that the file was downloaded to, try "./SetupEScribe2_SP19_INT.run" (If that is what it is called: Linux is case-sensitive with everything. Not sure if your disto supports it, but tab-complete usually helps avoid simple typing mistakes)

     

    If that doesn't work, log out of the super user account. 

    I know early on with the Linux releases there were issues and the script will error if it has superuser (or sudo) rights. 

    As an alternative, if you are running a desktop environment, navigate to the folder (with dolphin or whatever file manager exists) and simply double click the "SetupEScribe2_SP19_INT.run" file. If executable permissions are set, it should start a gui of some form. 

    Tried "./SetupEScribe2_SP19_INT.run" again and got

    bash: ./SetupEScribe2_SP19_INT .run : No such file or directory

    Logged out of su and clicked on the file and it just asks which application I'd like to open the file with. I gave GDebi Package Installer and it can't load the package. Gave a message about possible file corruption or I'm not allowed to open the file which I did leave executable so checking file permissions seems mute but I did it anyway and found the file is now root.  Not sure how that happened. 

    I'm thinking a fresh download from my desktop transferred by way of SD might clear something up, maybe.

    It has been a while since I used escribe on Linux, but if I remember right the *.run file is a script to install. 

    You wont use apt. (Unless something has massively changed) It can be used for any missing dependencies, but not for the actual install. 

    Try using "chmod -x" on the file then running it as an executable. 

    Thanks!

    I've given the file executable permission but I'm just not doing well with the command verbiage and such.  I've tried a few conbinations with your suggestion with no luck as of yet.

     

    Edit: I'm also logged in as Superuser at the moment.

    I'm on debian does that make a difference

    As I've mentioned I'm no Linux guru, I'm trying to install on Linux MX and it's Debian based so maybe?

     

    it seems the terminal is where I keep bumping my head. IDK, I input "apt-get install SetupEScribe2_SP19_INT.run"

    and I get this

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree

    E: Unable to locate package SetupEScribe2_SP19_INT.run

  8. First page of this thread has download links for both Intentional and U.S. versions of the software. Click on either and it will download. If you have already clicked on the download links check your download files or search your files.

     

    Synaptic Package manager is usually  in the system programs of linux. Tap your start button and you should have a search included to find it.

  9. Try Synaptic Package Manager for your dependencies.

    I've been giving Linux MX a whirl lately and for the life of me or my hardware/software it will not load. No issues at all with Linux MInt.

    I've tried going through a terminal, Gui Package installer...  At this point most likely I'm botching the terminal command line as I'm no Debian guru.

  10. Hello

    DL to RDL with the JM mini.

    Well, the thinner the wire the less wattage needed as a general rule.

    I've recently been use Coilology SS316L MTL claptons , 2/30 gauge wrapped with a 40 gauge. 

    Most people end up in the 30 watt range with the JM mini and yes I use Replay almost exclusively anymore. Start low and work your way up from the 21 watt range with wire like I've mentioned.  

     

    That hypertext is a link to a picture of a build using the VV wire I mentioned previously in my original post.

  11. Thank you cdwraig1!

    Your picture and directions are much appreciated although I don't see your post here? It all shows in my email browser but not here on the forum. 

    I've just pulled the mod apart again and may be able to avoid pulling the 510 apart. I'm guessing the 250C is a better fit than the 75C, the circuit board has plenty of wiggle room with the 75C.

    Remove the positive wire making sure to remove as much solder as possible.  I used flush cutters to remove the wire from the tube. Remove the cir clip and it comes apart. 

    When soldering the wire back on extend the tube as far as possible  and heat sink  the tube by holding it with nettle nosed piers so the heat doesn't damage the insulator and o-ring,

    Yes I removed the board and put it in an SXK Boxer squonk.  I then checked out the problem with the VTX's 510, the o-ring they used was too small. 

    I've pulled my SXK Boxer apart for a quick look at a DNA75c transplant and found the 510 just isn't looking so straight forward on brief inspection. Any pointers on pulling the 510 apart without thrashing it?  

  13. I may be eating some crow with this one, I have some Aqua Regina on the way for testing. 

    The odds of the two dissimilar alloys having the same TCR value is crazy to think about beside nobody publishing a TCR value for the Platinum alloy in question.

    I remember some early 75C/250C Youtube video, the reviewer asked Evolv the very same question. And Evolv stated it wasn't necessary and so it was never implemented. I think it was in one of Daniel of DJLsb Vapes videos, but I can't swear to it.

    There could be options in theme designer which I'm honestly not fluent in, it's just something that I've noticed some other manufacturers offer that I haven't seen from Evolv yet.

    Possible.

    75C probably does not have replay also officially released so that is a few clicks lesser for it to happen inadvertently i guess...

    I'm using Replay at the moment, that's about official enough for me.  ;0)
