I am encountering a problem with the installation of this software in debian 8.
In particular, when I try to install the *.deb package I get the following message
dpkg: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 40499 package 'tomtomsportsconnect':
missing maintainer
dpkg: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' near line 10 package 'tomtomsportsconnect':
missing maintainer
Any idea what the solution to this problem can be?
The tomtom app seems to work well for me in Ubuntu 18.04. Having said that I also get the error message about a missing maintainer. I have no idea why this happens, if anyone can shed light on this minor irritation it would be much appreciated.
i've got problems with tomtom sport connect since i upgrade my system to Ubuntu Budgie 19.04.
All was fine under Ubuntu Budgie 18.10 but nothing works after reinstall on 19.04.
I have check the libgstream with Synaptic and all the libs have been updated in 19.04 and there is conflicts between old and new versions. I can't uninstall new ones because they are part of the system.
Olivier,
I had issues a while ago related to libgstream which I fixed then with the steps I listed in an earlier post. I do not know if those steps are still needed with the latest version of Tomtomsportsconnect on Ubuntu 19.04. I had no problems - possibly because I already had the changes. The only new "fix" I needed for 19.04 was "libssl1.0".
If you still have problems please message again or contact me via computething.co.uk
I have a second PC to upgrade so will try a fresh install on that for comparison,
Michael

Thank you so much for this! Works on 18.04.
I am so happy. The Windows part of my dual boot just died AGAIN. So it is very fortunate that I can sync and load track on my Linux distro.
Thanks TomTom, great work, really pleased for Linux support!
I'm going to buy a BQ Aquaris M10 HD and install Ubuntu Touch 16.04. Hopefully the connection of my Runner 3 via USB will work!
Maybe anybody has experience?
Just for general info, if anyone else is having similar issues : On Gentoo, after an upgrade to nVidia drivers 440.44 the SportsConnect app failed to open with a "Failed to create OpenGL context for format QSurFaceFormat" error. The fix was to rebuild the drivers with the "compat" USE flag set. This compat USE flag installs non-GLVND libGL for backwards compatibility. .

Works for me. Perhaps an issue with cookies? I'm in the Netherlands as well which will be stored in cookies while the linked article is in the UK English web locale.
Has anyone managed to run it on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS? The one of mine says "Connected" and then "We could not connect to your watch". I tried all the gstreamer and libssl packages and also reinstalled the tomtom app deb -- no luck.
On my Ubuntu 20.04 I had to add the tomtom watch to udev rules.
1) You find the info of your watch with the command lsusb. I had a line like this:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1390:7475 TOMTOM B.V. TomTom GPS Music Watch
2) I opend as sudo /etc/udev/rules.d/69-thermo.rules
3) and added to 69-thermo.rules this line filled with above ID-numbers:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1390", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7475", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
This worked for me but I am not a programmer so test it with care. Don't know if ACTION, MODE and GROUP are necessary.
To install from scratch on a fresh 20.04.1 LTS install I followed all @Ferry Michael 's instructions, with the addition of downloading multiarch-support_2.27-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb and installing that as one of the gstreamer libs needed it. The linux sports connect deb then installs ok.
Then in order to get the watch to connect I added ATTRS{idVendor}=="1390", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7475", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev" to tomtomsportsconnect.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/ as I didn't find the same file as @Kujalantomppa had. I added that line from his post as the last line and restarted my machine and it all worked fine.
Thanks to @Ferry Michael (again) and to @Kujalantomppa thought that maybe this time it was an update too far but no!
Thanks a million, cromat! The only difference I can see in your description is running the app as root -- thank you for that hint (BTW, how did you get this? I couldn't find the logs anywhere)
Hi, I was using TomTom Sports Connect with Xubuntu 18.04. Never I had problem. However now I am using Xubuntu 20.04 (the newest) and the connection among the program and the watch does not work anymore. Specifically, for some seconds the connection is established but, just 5 second later, the connection is down. Is there a new version of the program for the new version of Ubuntu?

You should install firstly gstreamer libs.
Im using ubuntu 18.04 and its still working, thanks for share this solution!

Same here, since the latest Ubuntu upgrade to 19.04.
Thanks,
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.0/libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5_amd64.deb
All is good again.

I just managed to install TomTom Sports Connect on Ubuntu version 18.04.
Sports Connect starts well and asks me to connect my TomTom device, but when I connect it, nothing happens.
Is there anything I need to do?

After executing your commands and then the link in the first post it was working perfectly and I could start it.
Using Elementary OS.
It is now:
https://help.tomtom.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013958479-Linux-version-of-TomTom-Sports-Connect
is there somehow a chance to get tomtom sports connect running on my lubuntu 32bit linux? I only find a .deb package for 64bit cpu's.
Thanks, Thomas
