I have located skeinforge in the /usr/share folder and pointed the path in pronterface/ external commands to this folder and it works ok now.
The interface is not that nice so I think I will try slic3r later as you have suggested.

Referring back to one of my previous posts I had allready installed pyserial.

Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
python-serial is already the newest version.
python-tk is already the newest version.
python-pyglet is already the newest version.
python-wxgtk2.8 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

When I put in the terminal:
$ls /dev/tty*
I get ports from tty to tty63 and from ttyS0 to ttyS59 but no ttyUSB or ttyACM

look if its hidden in a folder in /dev, i've seen that in a few old version i think...

unplug your 3d printer and plug it back and give me the result of:

dmesg

EDIT: you can use paste.ubuntu.com or attach a txt file, you can generate it with:

dmesg > dmesg.txt

Thnx swe3tdave

I got it working now.

One little issue I have.
My motors on X and Y move normal speed.
The motors on the Z-axis move only at half speed,
Weird isnt'it?

depend on your printer, if you got screws on your Z axis, it would be slower...

It's not that important.
Z-axis doesn't have to be fast anyway...

Time to start enjoy linux and 3d printing smiling smiley

I'm using 14.10 and found this worked for me ....

sudo apt-get install python python-tk python-pmw python-imaging python-serial python-wxgtk2.8 python-pyglet python-numpy cython python-libxml2 python-gobject python-dbus python-psutil git

git clone [github.com]

Make sure your printer is connected.

go to the directory created by git ... in my case /home/user/Printrun

sudo ./printrun

the port speed MUST be set to 250000

Hope it works for you smiling smiley
