Disable WebUI


 

Hi all,

is it possible to disable the webUI Chrome app on startup of the sBitx software? I only use the webUI on a remote computer.

Thx


 

loopMasta,

I believe that the "chrome" UI is opened on line 4190 of sbitx_gtk.c

open_url("http://127.0.0.1:8080");

Try commenting the line out, and rebuild the sbitx software.? You must do this after every update, as the git pull will overwrite the change.

The gtk is now behind the webui. For instance, much of the FT8 messaging is done in javascript on index.html. The logging is also functional only on the web UI.

Farhan,

I can close the Chrome interface, but the radio still works.? Are you saying the Chrome interface needs to stay up to have all the radio functionality???

Evan,
The old UI still works as it did. However, things like the logbook, ft8 sequencing, telnet, etc., are all working only in the webui.?

Hi Evan,

thanks for the hint. I commented this line?. Works great. I still can open the web interface if I want by pressing the 'web' button but I only use the web interface on a remote machine.


 

Farhan,

That makes sense.??

For basic radio operation, I can use the gtk screen.? When I want a digital operation, I can either open the Chrome interface on the gtk screen or use a remote computer to open a Chrome browser connected to the Sbitx.

On my DE V1 with V2 software, I find less noise caused by the Raspberry Pi when I log in from another computer for the digital functions.? I also have more hiss and pops when using the HDMI-connected screen.? The best operation is with the gtk on the 7" DSI screen and login from one of my computers on my network.

I added these lines to sbitx_gtk.c so that I can configure the startup to the web UI in my user_settings.ini

if (!strcmp(get_field("#web")->value, "OFF")) {
write_console(FONT_LOG, "Starting http://sbitx.local:8080\n");
open_url("http://127.0.0.1:8080");
}
