Setup (Linux Environment)
(NOTE: Due to the various distributions of Linux available today, the look and feel of the interface may
vary from one version to the next. However, the general command set used in the terminal application
is very similar and can be referenced in the Linux instructions that follow. The screenshot examples
in this section were created in a 64-bit environment.)
Certain distributions of Linux will require super-user (root) privileges in order to
execute the DT4000 G2 commands properly in the terminal application window.
Insert the DT4000 G2 into an available USB port on your
notebook or desktop and wait for the Linux operating
system to detect it. When it does, a DT4000 G2 volume
icon will appear* on the desktop, as seen in
The DT4000 G2 comes with 5 commands that can be
used in Linux:
dt4000g2_about,
dt4000g2_logout
(Note: To execute these commands, you must open a "Terminal" application window and navigate to
the folder where each of the files exist. Each command must be preceded by the following two
./
characters: '
' (a full stop and a forward slash).
For 32-bit users, open a "Terminal" application window and change the current directory to
/media/DT4000G2/linux/linux32$ by typing the following command at the prompt:
cd /media/DT4000G2/linux/linux32 (and then press ENTER)
For 64-bit users, open a "Terminal" application window and change the current directory to
/media/DT4000G2/linux/linux64$ by typing the following command at the prompt:
cd /media/DT4000G2/linux/linux64 (and then press ENTER)
*Note: If the DT4000 G2 volume is not loaded automatically by the operating system, you will need to
load the volume manually in a terminal window using the Linux 'mount' command. Please refer to the
Linux documentation for your specific OS distribution or favourite on-line support site for proper syntax
and command options.
