I installed Device Agent and it is running with Wine. It lets me login to my account on TrainingPeaks (on the web) but I cannot upload anything since my Timer Run Trainer GPS is not detected by Timex Device Agent. Totally new to Ubuntu and Wine, I really have no idea what to try. Any help or suggestions would be great.

Install the latest wine 1.7.x – it solved my connection issue with Garmin Mapsource (6137) connecting to eTrex Legend with a USB-Serial adapter. See: How to install and configure Wine?

Also important to ensure the com port under wine is linked to /dev/ttyUSB0, and permissions are OK.

Do:

ls -l /dev/tty*

You should see a device called "ttyUSB0". You should see it belong to the dialout group. Add yourself to the group:

sudo adduser yourusername dialout

Reboot computer.

Make the device visible as "com1" port under wine:

cd ~/.wine/dosdevices

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 "com1"
