RepetierHost with Ubuntu

I have succesfully run my Omereod with Pronterface. I want to move over to RepetierHost because of better rotation facilities.
Having downloaded it, it runs correctly but will not communicate with the Omerod.
You can connect and the icon turns green (whatever the baud rate) but no information is exchanged.
I have dialout pemissions etc, but am lost at this point. I run Ubuntu 12.04 (and also Mint)
What am I missing ?? any ideas.

Hi Dennis,

You are not the only one with this problem.

I have installed RepetierHost in Linux Mint 15.
I have followed their installation and configuration guide.

And... I seem to have the same problem, there is no communication.
The green icon probably only indicates that the port could be opened...?

The "Manual Control" page shows "7 Commands waiting",
and every button I press makes the command queue longer.

This forum topic smells like this problem: [forums.reprap.org]

Setting the "Receive Cache Size" to 511 as mentioned in this post did not work for me.

Since the program does work on a Mac with the Ormerod, it should work on Linux too...
