Gentlemen (and ladies too of course)!!? I've followed the instructions to burn an image to my USB drive, and it loads perfectly on my MacBook Pro.? However, after a short time my Mac goes into sleep mode, and when the spacebar is depressed, a little window comes up asking me to unlock HamPC.? Does anyone know what characters are used to unlock this program?? Ernie, W5NH

I have an announcement that some of y'all have been waiting for!
The next version of HamPi and HamPC will include all four pre-defined sizes (resolutions) of HamClock. I know this has been something a lot of you have been asking for a while now...These sizes are: - 800x480 - 1600x960 - 2400x1440 - 3200x1920 Since there are four HamClock launcher menu items, they are now grouped under the "Ham Radio" -> "HamClock" menu items. -- -- Dave,?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Technical Specialist,??----??+?? ? ? ?

Forgive me if this was asked before. I wasn't able to find it in the messages.
How do I install on to the pc from USB stick. It boots in live mode fine. For the life of me I cannot find any info on how to install it. Thanx.

Experimenting is one of the reasons where into amateur radio lol

Done the lot Laptop , PC , Pi and windows Tablet with and without UEFI standard MBR through Bios. Even though there's these little nicks what a distribution and cross platform too good effort !!!!
|
I realize that maybe I could hook the laptop drive to my main
computer and image the drive, then put it back in the laptop and
see if that does it too.? Then I avoid the need for a bootable
USB.

Bear in mind that bios us changing to be governed by the the
operating system eg UEFI that's why the maker of HamPC has done
this.

You should be able to install it on
another drive, such as a SSD.? Then interrupt the boot process and get
into the BIOS and manually change the first boot device to point to the
device you have HamPC installed on.
You should be able to write
the HamPC image to another drive using BalenaEtcher.

Just
wondering if anyone has found a way to install this on a computer yet
that doesn't have UEFI boot option in the bios?? I've installed a lot of
different Linux versions on my laptops, but this one won't work.? I
know Dave is up to his ears in fixing thing, so just wondering if any of
you users/testers out there have had any luck or good ideas?

I think the biggest factor for improving HamPC is the feedback from the people using it. I can see things and obviously make additions and corrections on my own but I will not see everything, and that is where the users come into play. Its success rests with you guys!
The latest version of Ham PC works well with just about any WiFi adapter.? The previous version of Ham PC did required that additional drivers be installed but it really was not a big issue. ? 73, ?

Re: Defects worked from GitHub Issues

I know where you're going with us. My Evolve III Maestro laptop does have internal speakers but there is no audio under HamPC. That's because this computer is too new to have the correct driver support in Linux. I tried a number of different methods over an extended period of time to get to work with no success. When the drivers become available, HamPC will support its audio.

Do you have audio in the internal speakers of your Evolve?? Mine shows a dummy output device in the mixer.? Same for HamPC on a Thinkpad Yoga 370.

Re: Defects worked from GitHub Issues

I have seen that on the Maestro for only the HamPC distro (but the wifi worked after the install). Linux Mint had working audio but not working wifi.
I have been meaning to look into it further as I would really like to not have to use an external USB sound nub, but I haven't had the time yet.
