RPi - Error fetching devices/installation problems

Post by robhol »

So, I'm getting some conflicting messages from the stuff I installed - which may have interfered or something, since I've done the compilation both through apt-get and cmake/make/make install/dpkg -i (.deb files from build process). I've tried removing it, but frankly may have missed something.
pi@nano ~/download/source $ sudo telldusd
pi@nano ~/download/source $ tdtool --list

I'm not sure what to make of this.

A lot of the reason for my confusion is the conflicting information I've found on the internet. Is there a particular, known, up-to-date guide I can follow? Also, any advice for removing all the stuff left behind from the failed attempts?

Edit: I'll try and track down a few of the guides I've been using:

If you want to remove the stuff from previous attempts, that of course depends on what those previous attempts were... Anything you installed with apt-get or aptitude you can uninstall again (see the man page for "aptitude purge"), things you unpacked you can remove again, etc.

Regarding an up-to-date guide, in fact Tellstick not found -- problem solved on this forum is a good summary. Many tutorials are indeed outdated!
