Error when connecting to a device in Linux

[Liwenhu]

Hi,

I am trying to use hardware configuration ultility to find the NI-9185 on my Ubuntu PC. But I am getting the error like the attached image.

Any idea of what is causing this and how to resolve?

Now I am getting a different error after I fixed the IP of the DAQ. Please see below image.

It says the DAQmx driver is not correct, however, I checked twice I have the driver download and installed properly from this link DAQmx driver for Linux.

And I can see the package installed in my environment (please see the list of "NI" related package).

I am also using Python API to find the device but it returns error:

Failed to add and reserve network device: Could not find an installation of NI-DAQmx. Please ensure that NI-DAQmx is installed on this machine or contact National Instruments for support.

Any idea of how to resolve this?

It seems like ni-daq is not listed as one of the installed packages. Did you follow the steps in Installing NI Products (Ubuntu)?

Thanks for the information, this part is also confusing as well. I followed the exact steps over there to get the files installed. Since there is only 4 .deb files in the driver package. I checked when I installed the all four packages and no one is named ni-daq. (Didn’t take the screen shot at that time) I did try install the packages again when I first see the error. But the problem remains the same. 

Do you happens to know which one of the four .deb is related to that library? I might try install that specific package.

If you register the correct deb file, you should have all packages available for installation as stated in NI Linux Device Drivers 2023 Q3 Readme
