Sbitx startup issue


 

All was good I shut mine down then later started it up but when I click on the icon to start the radio I get a error message saying invalid desktop entry file and won't start
Any help is appreciated I just got it today less than 15 min on it and I tore it up somehow?


 


 

Try running it from the terminal:
cd sbitx
./sbitx
If it starts up fine, then your icon file is damaged.
The error message also says this. It points to an unknown path for me.
If you know the File Manager, you can fix it so that the correct icon is on the Desktop.

ps.: If you don't know how to do this, I'll describe it:
You start the File Manager, then find the sBitx icon in the /usr/share/applications folder, which you select for copying.
After that, go to the /home/pi/ Desktop folder and paste the icon here.
Programmers would certainly do this from a terminal. This is an easy way to put any icon on the Desktop.

Good morning.? You might simply have corrupted some files. How do you shut it down? The computer pi needs to be shut down correctly as a regular computer. Then wait about 10 seconds before you flip the switch. Also, the whole unit seems "happier" in startup if I wait a few seconds after boot up before starting the sbitx app.?

I got into where you said but there is no sbitx folder or shortcut I have less than 15 min on this thing and I am not impressed especially if I can't start the radio?


 

How do you go about resetting the radio back to New settings?
