Re: GPS / winlink issue with 73linux & bookworm 64 bit
|
I thought it might be a good idea to summarize this thread with regard to no GPS in conky and no GPS in Pat. Turns out these are two separate?issues and I will address them both separately: First issue is no GPS in Conky. Turns out that for some reason when the GPS programs are installed, Ruby doesn't get installed. After installing the GPS apps, there is a message stating this, and asks if you want to install Ruby. Click Yes, or install (whatever it says...I don't remember) This installs Ruby, but fails to install associated gems (not exactly sure what they are, my guess is they are like #include files in the C programming language..) To install the Ruby gems do the following:
?sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
?sudo apt-get install rubygems
?sudo gem install
?sudo gem install gpsd_client
?sudo gem install maidenhead
?sudo gem install json
Reboot (just for fun...)
This gets your GPS grid displayed in Conky
=================
The second problem is that Pat doesn't read the GPS to get the grid.
In the patmenu2 folder in the home directory, edit the file: manage-pat-functions
change line 8 to be:?PATCONFIG=~/.config/pat/config.json
I want to thank Kelly for working with me on this, and Jason as well. ? -- Mike WB8ERJ
Geeze! What is he up to now?
