How to get serial ports to be recognised in wine operating under Ubuntu 14.04

xprofian · Aug 6, 2015

I run ubuntu 14.04 in my computer but I have a need to access the serial ports from my wine applications. The ubuntu system recognizes the ports and provides ttyS0 etc. to which I have linked. The link is located in the "dosdevices" directory of wine and was created from the"ln -s /dev/ttyS0 com1" command line. The comm ports are not recognized by wine though Ubuntu is happy to use them.
I am a newbie at this, can anyone help? Please....

It seems you've set them the right way (I have just compared with what works for me, also no 14.04 LTS). Make sure you've given yourself read/write rights to /dev/ttyXXX, or your user is member of dialout group. For test, you can try

Code:

sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyXXX

This page -- https://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/misc-things-to-configure says the link should be in the .wine subdirectory under your home directory....

Hi Alabalcho. Thanks for your comments. I have tried your suggestion but unfortunately it made no difference that I could determine.

Download a terminal emiulator (eg Putty, you can "sudo aptget install putty" it), make sure you can access your serial port without elevated privileges.

Other than that - you should probably go to Wine forums for more help.
