Setup (Linux Environment)
(NOTE: With the various distributions of Linux available today, the ‘look and feel’ of their interfaces may vary
from one version to the next. However, the general command set used in the terminal application is very
similar and can be referenced in the Linux instructions that follow.
The screenshot examples in this section
were created in a 64-bit environment . )
Certain distributions of Linux will require super-user (root) privileges in order to
execute the D300 commands properly in the terminal application window.
Insert the D300 into an available USB port on your
notebook or desktop and wait for the Linux operating
system to detect it. When it does, a
IRONKEY volume
icon will appear* on the desktop, as seen in
Figure 10.1
.
The D300 comes with 5 commands that can be used in
Linux:
Figure 10.1 – IRONKEY Volume
ikd300_about , ikd300_initialize , ikd300_login , ikd300_logout and ikd300_resetdevice
(
Note: To execute these commands, you must open a “Terminal” application window and navigate to the folder
where each of the files exist. Each command must be preceded by the following two characters: ‘
./
’ (a period
and a forward slash.)
For 32-bit users, open a “Terminal” application window and change the current directory to
/media/trglabguy/IRONKEY/linux/linux32$ by typing the following command at the prompt:
cd /media/trglabguy/IRONKEY/linux/linux32 (and then press ENTER .)
For 64-bit users, open a “Terminal” application window and change the current directory to
/media/trglabguy/IRONKEY/linux/linux64$ by typing the following command at the prompt:
cd /media/trglabguy/IRONKEY/linux/linux64 (and then press ENTER .)
*Note: If the IRONKEY volume is not loaded automatically by the operating system, you will need to load the
volume manually in a terminal window using the Linux ‘
mount ’ command. Please refer to the Linux
documentation for your specific OS distribution or favorite on-line support site for proper syntax and command
options. Some Linux distributions may require you to input username to run commands i.e. "trglabguy" in this
example.
