At this point the UI shows "device connected" but no menus or options,
just a message saying to restart if the device doesn't respond. Power
cycling the device makes no difference.

Has anyone managed to run this under Fedora? There's a YouTube video of someone using it under Arch, so I guess it must be possible, but I'm no expert on Wine so am unfamiliar with what might need to be done.

I have the Valeton GP-200. I get the same when I start the control software with a newer wine. The only configuration that is working is using Bottles with the soda-7.0.9 runner. However the software does not automatically discover and recover from disconnecting the device. On Windows it does this automaticaly.

Also, uploading IRs is very unreliable, sometimes only works at 3rd try, sometimes never.

Don't try to upgrade the firmware, that does not work but the device stays in the bootloader afterwards and you need a Windows PC to do the upgrade.

That's the reason I have reverse engineered the upgrade process and am currently implementing that myself. Maybe the communication protocol for the GP-100 is the same?
