Re: Installed HamPC on an Evolve III laptop

 

Michael,

I used your 'playbook' for imaging HamPC to the eMMC on one of my Evolve III Maestro laptops.
I had several issues with booting Mint Linux and Ubuntu on USB sticks with MicroSD cards installed.
Kernel panics galore.? Finally grabbed a straight up USB memory stick and imaged with Ubuntu.
Booted and used the Disk tool to "Restore Image" off a MicroSD with the HamPC image.
Eureka!!? Booting consitantly now.? I pinged Dave via FB to thank him.

Another problem

 

Hello again.

??? First, thanks for all the help so far.

I have WSJTX and FLRIG working fine on my little ASUS box, but I have no audio when I try to watch You-Tube (r) videos. Anyone have a guide written on how to get the system to use the built-in audio card in a newer ASUS laptop?

Re: Linux Windows Subsystem in Windows 11

 

The way to make this work is to clone the git repository containing all the ansible playbooks and run the main Ansible playbook against Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

There are instructions in the wiki on how to do this.

Yay!

???? I booted from the USB stick (man, those Sandisk 128g type C sticks get hot!). Downloaded Balena and the current HamPC version.

Ran Balena and flashed to the system drive (Wow! LOTS of warnings!).

Works good. More testing later, but as always, Dave did a good job.

Thanks, Dave (want another QSL card?).

Re: HamPC work on Intel laptops

 

You can boot off a separate drive other than the internal drive. So, think USB flash drive, and then use BalenaEtcher to write the image to the internal hard drive.

Just understand anything on the internal drive will be overwritten?by the HamPC image.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Pierre.

I am going to install it and see how I like it. But if it works the same as HamPi, I KNOW it will be good.

Thanks. I have used HamPC for quite awhile (thanks Dave!) and was hoping this would be similar in operation and stability.

The displayed map you are looking for will come _automatically_ when the time of year is not on equinox like now (begin of spring or autumn).

This is not a bug, it is just nature!
