Help install HanPC on Ubuntu otally a newbie 2
Hello, "J" here. Total Newbie to both Linux and HamPC. I have the Ubuntu desktop 22.04 installed and am just learning to navigate Linux. The HamPC is downloaded into the computer and I cannot find my next steps. I have hunted the user group but must be missing it. Help?

Legacy FW Support for HamPC 3.0 3
The fact that newer systems support efi in the BIOS doesn't make a difference to us that use Linux as a way to rejuvenate older PCs and laptops. So, does or has someone provided steps (easy ones I hope) to make this image usable once it is on a HDD or USB stick? I downloaded Xubuntu 22.04 and successfully installed it to this same laptop that won't even start the install. Looking for answers. Bob AK5U

Unlocking HamPC 21
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

Request for nominations 4
Hello friends and HamPi / HamPC users! If you have enjoyed using HamPi / HamPC and/or found HamPi / HamPC useful, would you please do me a huge favor and nominate me for my radio club's (GARS) Ham of the Year? I have spent the better part of three years continuously improving HamPi and HamPC and making this award-winning software free to all ham radio operators. Yesterday marked the 17th release of HamPi and HamPC to the world, with the release of HamPi 3.1. There have been over 90,000 direct downloads of HamPi alone. The nomination website is at: https://www.gars.org/gars/email-hoty/ According to GARS: This is a prestigious award given each year by the club to recognize an outstanding member who has contributed to the club and Amateur Radio. This past year has been really tough on everyone and although the GARS Family has had some activities, both in-person and remotely, we have not had a typical full force year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, we believe there are some GARS Members who have volunteered to assist the club in ways that have gone above and beyond. So, please put some thought into nominating a GARS member who has helped to maintain our operations, and to ham radio during this trying year. (Bold is my emphasis.) Your nomination would mean so much to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. -Dave, W3DJS, your friendly HamPi / HamPC curator -- -- Dave, W3DJS Technical Specialist, GA Section of ARRL -- -- AEC, Georgia + Gwinnett County ARES Lifetime Member of ARRL/QRZ/GARS/ARC -- -- Curator of HamPi, the ham radio software distribution for the Raspberry Pi --

HamClock Enhancement
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, W3DJS Technical Specialist, GA Section of ARRL -- -- Georgia + Gwinnett County ARES Lifetime Member of ARRL & GARS & ARC -- -- Curator of HamPi, the ham radio software distribution for the Raspberry Pi --

HampPC evaluation 2
I have finally had the opportunity to spend some time with this HamPC distro and evaluate it. Unless you are completely retired , have a couple of cases of ¡®807¡¯s, and time of not of the essence, then you might be able to run this off a USB thumb drive. It is painfully slow, even with USB 3. I purchased a 120GB SSD drive and wrote that image to that device. It is a shame that when doing this there is no way to extend that main partition to utilize the remainder of the drive after the 32 GB of data. Since this will have a full time connection to the internet, I disabled the Automatic login for the hampc user. Edit etclightdm/lightdm.conf and remove the 2nd line of that file. I also change the password for the hampc login. I then created my own user login. As a personal preference I enable the root user by creating a password for root. May times it is much easier to su to root than constantly type sudo. A good majority of the Hamradio programs either do not work out of the box, or need additional configuration to get them to work correctly. Fldigi: Noting under that menu item works. I tired launching all of those from the command line to see the error trace and they are all aborting, for something haywire with Hamlib. Voacapgui: Complains about voacap for Linux not being installed. CRQLOG: This is dependent on a properly installed MySQL Server/Client. The mysql client monitor does activate, but only if your are logged in as root or you sudo into mysql. I have MySQL and CRQLog running on my other Linux box so i can do some comparison side by side to figure out what is happening, but I suspect the MySQL configuration is not correct. Klog: it aborts with a segmentation fault . The error is a QT device:write error with file klogdebug.log. I even created that file in my .klog folder and gave everyone permission to read and write, so I suspect there is a problem with writing to the debug output file in the program, but there is some other error that we know nothing about because it cannot write to that file. PyQSO: does run fine but as with most Python GUI¡¯s it is very rudimentary. TenQSOLogger: This is an application that I wrote as a contest logger for 10-10 contests and QSO parties. It will act as a rudimentary general purpose logger. However, it does not run without installing the Java Runtime Environment. At a command line: sudo apt install default-jre. Xlog: Runs fine, but you may have difficulty getting hamlib to run due to file permissions. If you do get this running with the radio and you launch the program and forget to turn the radio on, the program will hang forever. CubicSQR: Running this at the command line reveals a VOLK config file not found. The rest of the SDR programs are unable to see my RTL2832U. This may be a permission problem. Weak Signal: Both js8call and wsjtx work just fine once you resolve all the permission issues with the sound devices and Hamlib. HamLib: many of the programs use HamLib to communicate with the radio. The communication is handled via a serial port or usb. All normal Linux installs only allow the root user with access to those device ports. The easy way to make that happen is to add each user to the following groups: uucp and dialout. Grig: This launches fine, but with the dummy radio as the source. To launch this with your own radio, you will need to edit the menu item to include the configuration string for the radio you are using. At the command line type grig -?. You will get a couple of pages of information on how to construct the configuration string. You will need to know the ID number of your radio. Type grid -l (lowercase L) for the list. It is lengthy!!! I have a FT920 so this ID is 1014. Next you will need to know what port you are connected to. COM1, COM2 does not work in Linux. At a command line type: sudo dmesg | grep ttyS* ttyS0 ¨C ttyS15 are standard com ports. In my case the radio is connected directly to COM1 on the computer, but in Linux this resolves to ttyS4. So my connection string for grig will be: -m 1014 -r /dev/ttyS4 The Pat Menu aborts because it is attached

CQRlog mySQL error 9

FREE RADIO FOR NEW LICENSEES
FREE RADIO FOR NEW LICENSEES QRZ and Gigaparts have teamed up and made a big announcement late last week at the Huntsville HamFest. They offer a FREE 5 watt entry level VHF-UHF handheld for every new licensee, up to 30 days after their successful exam. The radio (Explorer QRZ-1) is apparently made by TYT and it¡¯s also sold by Gigaparts for $60. Details at New Ham Jumpstart Program - QRZ.com and QRZ Jumpstart GigaParts.com It is one of the very few initiatives I¡¯ve seen, aimed at incentivizing the growth of our numbers. So let¡¯s all spread the word, encouraging people we know are interested in joining our fold! The offer expires October 31, 2022. ----- Dave, W3DJS, here. I checked out the QRZ and Gigaparts links and they appear to me to be legitimate.

Welcome new members!
Hello to all the new people who have recently joined the HamPC group on groups.io! My name is Dave, W3DJS, and I am the curator of HamPC and its sister software, HamPi. If you're looking for information on HamPC, I provide a "one-stop shop" for information on a Linktree at: https://linktr.ee/HAMPIW3DJS (That works for both HamPi and HamPC) Also, this group is a "safe place" for all questions -- there are no "dumb" questions. There are "new" users, and they will have plenty of questions that I perhaps have not even anticipated. Glad to have you all aboard!

Can I test a new version of Ham-PC for you? 12
I bought a couple of super cheap Evolve III (version 4) laptops at our local Microcenter - $59.99 for a quad-core Celeron, 4G RAM, 64G SSD (Windows 10 Pro is included, but I am a Linux guy, anyway.) Is there an Intel image for the new 3.x Ham-PC I can test for you? I'm pretty sure there is a modification needed to be done for the Evolve III, concerning WiFi and audio out (instructions on the Internet). These machines also run on 12V power and are a complete machine for $59.99 (plus tax, no rebates required): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TM0VSra-b8 I think these are an excellent alternative to the Raspberry Pi, during these shortages.
