I downloaded XMOS from
https://www.xmos.com/support/tools
I selected linux 64 bit
after I unpacked the file and I put file XMOS inside "home"
I installed java 6 after I unistall and install 7 same with 8 .
I post the website with procedure and terminal istructions:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ ... th-apt-get
- after this: sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer the program xtimecomposer works
I write ...
1) cd ~/XMOS/xTIMEcomposer/Community_14.1.2/
2) source SetEnv
3) xtimecomposer
the program start but he characters are the SQUARES and not the letters
I tried to install gnome, to change type, format, I do not know where is the problem, I think that the problem is a noncompatibility between xtimecomposer and Ubuntu 16.04
I hope that you can help me!!!

I had the same issue when I tried xtimecomposer on Fedora 23. I am now using Ubuntu 14.04 in a VM as a workaround.

Yes of course, but I need to install xtimecomposer on ubuntu 16.04 because is in dualboot with windows and I do not have enough memory to install VM with ubuntu 14.04, I do not why but I cannot install ubuntu 14.04 via USB on My PC (windows10) perhaps windows does not allow the installation of ubuntu14.04 or mint 17....!!!!! Do you know other solutions, Like modify the files system Inside XMOS or the installation of particolar package ......

I found a workaround. Edit Community_14.1.2/bin/xtimecomposer and comment out line 146 by prefixing it with #:
Code: Select all
#$ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} = "$installpath/xtimecomposer_bin/swtbrowserlibs:$ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}";
I filed a bug ticket.

THANK YOU!
This solved my boxes-instead-of-fonts issue on Fedora 23.

Update:
In Community 14.2 it looks like some steps were taken to fix this issue. I however still had to comment out the offending line (now on line 120 for Fedora).

My setup for using xTIMEcomposer Community 14.3.3 under 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04:
1. install Java runtime from
https://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp. I have uninstalled the OpenJDK comes with the system before that.
2.Create /etc/udev/rules.d/99-xmos-xtag.rules with following content to allow Ubuntu to detect xTAG2 or xTAG3 hardware. Remember to change "tom18" to your ID.
Code: Select all
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="20b1",ATTR{idProduct}=="f7d1",ACTION=="add",OWNER="tom18",MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="20b1",ATTR{idProduct}=="f7d4",ACTION=="add",OWNER="tom18",MODE="0664"
Plug your xTAG debugger to you PC and run "
ls -lR /dev/bus/usb". You should see a device owned by you :
Code: Select all
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 5 Jan 4 08:03 006
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 6 Jan 4 08:03 007
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 7 Jan 4 08:03 008
crw-rw-r-- 1 tom18 root 189, 9 Jan 4 09:22 010
3. As described earlier in the thread, comment out line 144 inside xTIMEcomposer/Community_14.3.3/bin/xtimecomposer to fix the square character issue:
Code: Select all
# $ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} = "$installpath/xtimecomposer_bin/swtbrowserlibs:$ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}";
