Hi

If it has been run once can't one just run update to install new items too, at the same time if

some period of time has passed there maybe some items to update as well.

Re: VARA on PAT Winlink #ardop

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Thanks all for input. The reason i was asking was that i heard a rumour that ardop is going to run the winmor route in the near future which is already a ?tragic loss for emcomm
Vara is expensive to register too and yes they compare that to the cost of a pactor modem. As a sysop station i spend the money for pactor modems and a signalink interface. But i see redlights flashing around vara only for windows

Would like to run complete sysop station on rpi as windows very unstable platform when it come to 24/7/365 operations. Just my experience

Re: VARA on PAT Winlink #ardop

 

Search the group, it's been discussed.?

Long story short, probably not (although there are people who have been trying to make?it work for a couple of years now). The author of VARA has no desire to see an ARM Linux version. As it stands it would require double emulation--emulation from Windows to Linux, and emulation from x86 to ARM.?

Re: Not able to run headless on reboot/Boot on a PI 4 #rpi4b8gb #bap

 

ssh pi@<ipaddress>
Enter password for pi user

sudo raspi-config
Select 3 - Interface Options
Select P3 - VNC

turn VNC on

Exit and save

Now will be back on your terminal still connected to your pi through ssh

type this command
vncserver -randr=2048x1080 (or set a resolution that works for your computer. This resoltion works for my laptop)

when that command is done, then check for the ip address. It should give you the ipaddress:1

on the vnc, search for ipaddress:1
login

This will stay set until you shutdown/restart your pi


Re: This is what my screen is doing

 

It looks like there was a change in the resolution for the monitor.

I would look at the setup of the monitor, which resolution it might be set for, and see if there is an auto resolution function.

I would also see what the Pi is outputting for resolution on the HDMI.

Full restarts on both to if that also helps. :D?


Re: New question

You can run BAP as many times as you want and right after the other each?time. No wait times needed. Just run it again. Pi menu - Preferences - Build-A-Pi.
