Odd timing, I was about to post about problems with BlackLink on tilp...

Have you loaded tiglusb? Or is that only for GrayLink?

As for tilp, I've had zero luck with it on my 83+. Keep replying to this thread (or in PM) if you have an succeses.

may i ask u JonahRowley, how do i load tiglusb module?? i'm not really an expert with kernel stuff. some help may be useful.

i found the answer in the same ubuntu forum. the problem was that tiusb device not exists and it must be created

but if you are to lazy to read the solution is this two command lines:

Creating the device node by hand was the only way I could get it to work:

sudo mknod /dev/tiusb0 c 115 16
sudo chmod 666 /dev/tiusb0

here you can find the post in the ubuntu forum:

the answer to this problem was found on this page

that's all
