Mostly likely, cUrl is not installed. Here is an excerpt from a post by Brett Howard back in June '08.
David, W4SMT ---------------------------------------------------------------- If anyone is having issues with error 127 when trying to check for new elecraft firmware it may be because you don't have curl installed. Enabling "Verbose Logging" under the view menu will tell you this when you try to check for firmware again you will see the following errors: 00:26:58 bash: curl: command not found 00:26:58 Unable to connect to Elecraft server. Error: 127 This is much more informative than just the second line which is all you see if you have verbose turned off. If you are running any Debian branch (including the Ubuntu folks and all of its brances) you can solve this problem by opening a terminal and running: sudo apt-get install curl After running that command curl will be downloaded and installed automatically and everything automagically starts to work. You can also search for curl in the synaptic package manager under System > Administration if you would like to install curl via the gui. --- On Sun, 4/19/09, DM4iM <[email protected]> wrote: > From: DM4iM <[email protected]> > Subject: [Elecraft] [K3] K3-Utility (Linux-version) > To: "elecraft" <[email protected]> > Date: Sunday, April 19, 2009, 10:37 AM > Guys, i probably have an issue of > access rights : The Linux version of > the K3-utility says ' Unable to connect to Elecraft-server, > Error 127'. > > Everything else works fine, i can download the Firmware > using a browser > and store it to the harddisk, then send it to the K3.
