Cutecom could not start sz?

#1 Post by John Gay »

I have cutecom installed on my Laptop, including lrzsz but even though I can talk to my serial device via the USB port, I cannot send any files as xmodem files. I get the error, could not start sz.
Unfortunately, cutecom seems to be the only serial terminal program that co-operates with my Boarduino.
I've tried googling this error code, but the only information I find is to install lrzsz, which I already have.
Does anyone else have any experience with cutecom, or other serial terminal programs?

Cheers,

John Gay

Please run MX Tools/Quick System Info, then right-click paste into a reply. (Quick System Info automatically copies the information to the clipboard and formats it properly for the forum so all you have to do is paste it.) Thanks.

According to
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=911378
This bug in Cutecom was fixed in the original source 2 years ago.
In fact the version currently available here via Debian is 0.30.1 from Dec 21 2015.
The latest version is 0.50.0 from Aug 6 2018.

I don't know where I should push to get a more up-to-date version, considering even Debian is over 3 years behind.

Sorry if I'm not approaching this correctly.

Cheers,

John Gay
