i feel super dumb asking this here but the rest of the Internet has not been able to answer me.
i have just moved over to Ubuntu (and i am still very much a noob at Ubuntu). so i have downloaded the UGSplatform app since i prefer it over the classic ugs(which does run),
however i do not know how to get the app to run. double clicking only opens the software code. i cannot figure out which command to run in terminal to make it work either.
was really hoping someone on here has some input for me, my x-carve has been standing for months due to computer issues and I’m desperate to get carving again! please help.
go to ugs platform folder you downloaded.
then bin folder
right click, open terminal
then paste this code
./ugsplatform
Make sure Java 8 is installed as well.
YESS YESS Yesss!!! thank you. its now loading!! thank so much!

Just saw this and make me smile.
Glad you made the conversion without to much issue.
you will enjoy Linux once you get the hang of it.
I hope you also get Easel Local to work without issue. so you can use the Easel software online.
yep im in with ubuntu th learning curve is immense though!! now trying to learn how to setup a serial port. its like learing to speak chinese. but anything is do-able! tody ha been leps and bounds !! i’dlike to use easel too!
then check this out
and feel free to ask questions as needed, I have found that everyone is very helpful in making this work.
sigh, ive just read through that… a pie is currntly not on the cards for me… i’m going to have get linux to see my machine via a local usb. i’m so used t windows that this is making me feel completely dumb. lol. ugs is currently not seeing my machine. i can see the usb plugged in in terminal but need to figure out what to do with that info… but i’ll get there, ugly but not scared
the same driver that runs on the Pi also works with Ubuntu.
I use Ubuntu on my desktop and have a Pi connected on the X-Carve. I have loaded the driver on Ubuntu and run it. it seemed to run without issue.
keep trying. and read about the USB port thing most of that is automatic nowadays.
just a quick thanks again! im up with ugsplatform and easel is running and i did my first carve in months tonight!!! YAY!!have a great new year this weekend everyone!!!
Hey guys, I’m new to x carve… Just finished setting up the maching ,test carving, and my first file! Everything runes perfect! Here’s my question,
Do I have to be online to run Easel?
My situation is that it’s set up in my Guitar shop, away from my Wifi. I got a wifi signal booster but it didn’t work… I ran 150 foot of Cat 6 cable, but don’t want it laying in the yard…(till the ground thaws, so it can be buried)…

Short answer: no
Long Answer: sometimes, if you want to log-in you need a connection. to open a file you need to be logged in and connected. but to carve after you have your file loaded you do not. if you make changes to your file and want them saved you need a connection and logged in to save.
so connect, log-in, open file and then no internet needed after that to use Easel as a sender… I have heard of some using a cell phone connection to do this in a remote area as the data needed to log-in is not that much.
