I have not seen much done on this of late.
The Medtronic pump and carelink site issues with linux.
Hardware: Medtronics minimed 670g insulin pump system.
Software OS: Xubuntu 18.10
First I found that https://carelink.minimed.com prefers (almost Only) IE 11 on a Windows system.
Some Google-Fu later I found that most people had just run in VirtualBox.
Installed the VM, Then the Extentions/Plugins for USB to work, Put Windows 7 on it [Many many windows AutoUpdates, a pdf reader and IE 11].
I forgot to add the user to the vboxusers group, so it would not see any usb's untill i did.
Now It could connect, upload and print out (via .pdf) the info.
looking for a better way I installed Firefox 38 via commandline.
wget -c https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/38.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-38.0.tar.bz2
tar -vxjf firefox-38.0.tar.bz2
Started firefox from there.
Changed the homepage to carelink login page.
Opened a new tab and entered "about:config".
Right Clicked to add New->String and added "general.useragent.override" as name."Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0" as the Value and relaunched.
Now I could login, View Past Uploads, And Print Out the PDF.
I added IcedTeaPlugin to Xubuntu and tryed the Java Uploader.
sudo apt-get install icedtea-8-plugin
This is as far as I have gotten, The java wants to install a windows SerialPort Package from serialio.com and needs windows to do so (it says).
Just When will these Med Devices Companies come to figure out that if you supported DIY'ers instead of locking them out, you would corner the market share and lower overhead and find yourself on the bleeding edge of consumer demand. hopes this find itself helpful to others.
My Question More off would be,has anyone gotten better results?
