How to run Routerstats in Linux
graevine1:
John Owen a fellow Radio Amateur and the great wisdom of Routerstats informed me today that he will be adding a text note to the read me with regard to the method of updating your working copy of routerstats to an upgrade. Ive asked him to consider an addition to give instruction for those who wish to run it on pc's running Linux.
Have a great day all.

As this little howto is now referenced on the Routerstats website I've made it sticky.

Hi Roseway,
I know that this original post is well out of date and I have looked at everything comparable since but I am still puzzled.
I am running Hardy (still..awaiting next LTS) and have followed your brief to the letter and all seems to work up to a point. I am using a Voyager 210 Router and can read off the Stats quite successfully from it directly. I have downloaded RouterStats 5.2b and this works in part. But the essential data does not show the actual figures that I know are there although the headings are all there. John Owen asks me to Copy & Paste the readout of the page detected by his program on an email. This I have monumentally failed to achieve, despite normal success doing this within my OS on its own. Is this due to the need to use Wine to get RS to work with Ubuntu. I have tried every combination of Shift Ctrl+C, V etc., by keyboard and by clicking on option panels, both my email program and RouterStats are running, but it seems that the data is not getting to the clipboard. Either I am missing something or there is a basic problem. Other forums have not been much help so I hope that you may have come across it. I guess it is all me because no-one else seems to have flagged it up.

I presume you mean the Router Stats page? I can't copy the text either, so I guess what I would do is take a screenshot of it and email that to John. I don't know what screenshot options there are in Ubuntu, but I'm sure that you can do it from Gimp.

Hi roseway,
Thanks for quick reply. Sadly the page that comes up in RouterStars config panel is the complete description of the text plus all the formatting and other paraphernalia that goes with a display of text. This, of course is several pages long and not able to be captured with a screen shot. So I am still puzzled!
In a way i an glad that you also have a problem with this, it makes me fell a little less of an idiot.
Must poke a few more forums.
