How do you get Repetierhost to work on Ubuntu 16.04, apparently the latest version of mono doesn't work with it? Please help.

Hey guys,

I have the same problem:

unfortunately the software wont start.

"cappy@computer:/usr/bin$ repetierHost
cappy@computer:/usr/bin$

System.Windows.Forms is the UI library used for the app. So your mono did not install that causing it not to start. Check

apt-file search System.Windows.Forms.dll

which package would contain it and install it.

Hey the latest few versions of Repetier-host aren't communicating with my marlin printer. On 14.04 it worked with v1.06, but I suspect that was using a pref from 0.95f. Basically the 0.95f version let me set the data bits and stop bits, and my printer doesn't seem to negotiate with the new versions. It says it connected correctly, and I am in the dialout group, and it's definitely the correct usb port. I'm running a Velleman k8200 with Marlin firmware (velleman fw v2) and no response from commands going out.

From ./configureFirst.sh

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

Configuration finished.

IMPORTANT: In addition to the bundled CuraEngine, the host also

supports Slic3r and Skeinforge. These slicers are not bundled, so

need to install them according to their docs and then set the path

to them in Repetier-Host.

For Slic3r simply unpack the tar you get on http://slic3r.org in this directory.

The host will then register and add it automatically on next restart.

IMPORTANT: You need a recent mono version since the host uses .NET 4.0

If you see the following error message, your mono is too old!

This folder now contains a Repetier-Host.desktop file

Copy it to your desktop to get a launch icon there

We removed stop bits/data bits/partiy as all firmwares use the same anyway. All that matters is communication protocol (autodetect should work) and correct baud rate. Also make sure no other software is using the same port in parallel. While connecting works communication will fail. I also would advice printing over Repetier-Server even if you use host for preparing. Use the repetier-server connector to connect to server to send prints and control.

Ah ok. I figured it out, I had another service that wanted to use the USB port, corrupting the connection.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

meanwhile I got repetierHost running successfully.

But a few days ago I switched over to Linux Mint and have the same problem.

I promise, I tried to remember hardly what I did a few moth ago to get it running on Ubuntu, but I couldn't.

On intallation I get this output:

Cappy@cappycompi ~/RepetierHost $ sudo sh configureFirst.sh

So I did what you said ... but I did not really understand what to do.
