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?
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Mike
You should install firstly gstreamer libs.0 -

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.0

Getting it working on my laptop was a little more difficult as Sports Connect depends on an old version of a library that is not part of Ubuntu 17.04
The following commands run before installing Sports Connect got things going:
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/215074266/libgstreamer0.10-0_0.10.36-1.5ubuntu1_amd64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/185267586/gstreamer0.10-plugins-base_0.10.36-2_amd64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/185267581/libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0_0.10.36-2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libgstreamer0.10-0_0.10.36-1.5ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0_0.10.36-2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i gstreamer0.10-plugins-base_0.10.36-2_amd64.deb
Im using ubuntu 18.04 and its still working, thanks for share this solution!0 -
Hi,
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.
Can someone help me ?
Regards

Hello,
Same here, since the latest Ubuntu upgrade to 19.04.
Thanks,1 -
Just upgraded to Ubuntu 19.04. Had problems at first. Fixed from command line:
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.0 -
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,

HI!
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?0 -

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.1 -
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?
Best regards Armin2 -
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. .0

After executing your commands and then the link in the first post it was working perfectly and I could start it.

Hi all,

Thanks, Thomas0 -

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.0

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!0 -
I have created a guide to make TomTom Sports Connect work on Ubuntu 20.04 and Linux Mint 20: https://github.com/cromat/TomTom-Sports-Connect-Ubuntu-20.04-Mint-20-6

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)0

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?
Thanks for the support.0
