BLE downloads under Linux / AppImage

Adding the mailing list back in (with Stuart’s permission) and changing the subject line to be more appropriate…

Which of course is literally constantly changing, so it’s always important to say /which/ AppImage.
And as your example shows, we apparently get the version output wrong right now. Oops. Something to work on.

That’s odd - but then I haven’t tested the latest AppImage on my laptop that runs Linux on the hardware. Most all of my work is inside of VMs (that may in part be influenced by where I work :-) )

With the released 5.7.2, those boxes would have stuff filled in and the Scan button was not greyed out and the Discovered devices list would show the Perdix.

I assume you mean the 4.7.2 release? And I assume you mean the “native” binaries on Mint (the Ubuntu PPA), not the AppImage (since we never released a 4.7.2 AppImage - we are still trying to get the AppImage to be fully functional, which is why I brought this back to the mailing list.

That dongle is known to do BT 4.0 (which you need to talk to the Perdix AI).

Oops. Yeah, gotta fix the version :-)

This is good, 5.9.3 is a white lie btw, it’s the latest of the 5.9 branch as of two days ago.

The VERY latest AppImage (as of an hour ago) fixes that, Googlemaps now work.

THAT is clearly the source of the problem. We are not talking to the actual BT backend.
The rest is just a consequence of this error.

I left the rest just for completeness.

We need to figure out why we are not talking to BT. Simon, any idea?
