Starting a new thread to consolidate my issue and ensure it doesn't get grouped with the previous "solved" thread "License Restriction..."

When attempting to start lpcxpresso from the command line after upgrading to Ubuntu 12 on a system that lpcxpresso functioned perfectly with on Ubuntu 11, I get the following results:

[B]./lpcxpresso[/B]
java.text.ParseException: [COLOR=Red]Cannot read MAC address from [eth0      Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 5c:26:0a:82:49:f0 [/COLOR]

[B]Additionally, when simply attempting to program the flash from the IDE, it says:[/B]

[B] Weird thing is, when I select "Display License Type" it reports:[/B]

License type: FULL
Debug limit: 128k
Activation code: [Removed for Security]

A FULL copy of LPCXpresso may be used for production.

[B][I]I'm thinking the issue is with the way the MAC is parsed from the command line which is throwing the java.text.parseexception

[/I][/B]This is still very much so an issue. I can't debug or load code to the processor.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. As noted in the other thread, I'm trying my best to evaluate the Code Red software suite before purchasing a group license for my company and unfortunately time is of the essence.

If lpcxpresso doesn't work with Ubuntu 12, I guess I'm to assume the same applies to the entire software suite. Is this incorrect?

I found probably the LPCxpresso wolud be except on read the MAC adress from ipconfig(8) command. The ipconfig command was updated in the progress to support the NLS (native language support) with the UTF-8 encode in requirements for Ubuntu project .
The LPCxpresso appears that it cannot read the UTF-8 output from standard output, and will be occurred exception.
For all I know, we should have two method to solve the problem,
1) set the locale to english in global environment
2) set "LOCALE=C" before run LPCxpresso. examply,

Quote:
LOCALE=C lpcxpresso

And you should overwrite the license if you change the locale setting.

...But, the eclipse had a eccentric specified that paper size was strongly fixed to letter or A4 by your locale setting. If you were set A4 paper in the your printer, you couldn't use.

Not exactly a licensing issue (I don't think), but on one Ubuntu 12.04 system after what appears to be a successful install there is no menu item for LPCXpresso. Also if I manually add one nothing happens when I click it.

I have LPCXpresso installed on two other Ubuntu systems, one 12.04 and one 11.04 and they're working fine.

Thanks! I'll get the evaluation of RedSuite now and proceed from here. It seems that users upgrading from Ubuntu 11 to 12 will have this issue due to something Ubuntu changes/modifies in the path of upgrading.

We have now tested both LPCXpresso IDE and Red Suite here on Ubuntu 12, so we know that fundamentally it does work. We will of course be looking into the specific problems you are having with your LPCXpresso IDE license though.

However.... If you are looking at purchasing Red Suite, then you really ought to try using Red Suite rather than LPCXpresso IDE. The licensing system for Red Suite is completely different to that of LPCXpresso, and thus you are unlikely to see the problems you are currently seeing.

For details of how to obtain a 60 day evaluation of Red Suite, including a download link, please see:
