GridTracker not included


 

Hi All,

I created a bootable USB of HamPC v3.0, downloaded from here?. I am able to boot from it on my laptop and even successfully run WSJTX. When I went to go fire up Gridtracker I noticed although listed in the list of Ham apps, it was not in /usr/bin. So I proceeded to install it from the instructions here?. It installed in /hampc/bin I believe (not at the machine right now) and not /usr/bin and I get a message "cannot locate gridtracker".

Couple of questions:
1) Why did this happen, am I missing install scripts?
2) Did I download from the wrong location?
3) I think I now the commands to get it onto the "Ham Radio" menu items, but how do I get it to be "located"?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
KD2WIR


 

...followup:

when I execute "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade gridtracker", the process ends in Terminal with the following:
.
.
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package gridtracker

Why is this? E: is my USB dirive letter.

Thanks in advance


 

I'm sorry but to my knowledge you can't use that method to update GridTracker. It's because GridTracker doesn't exist in the Debian repositories.

I'm additionally sorry that you cannot easily update GridTracker from within HamPC but that's due to the fact that there has not to my knowledge been a stable download location for the software. They keep changing it.

I would refer you to the GridTracker documentation for upgrade instructions.

Hi Dave,

No need to apologize.

The solution can be found here:?

It was necessary for me to add their repo.
