Re: Docker Pi Power Board SW Install Error

 

Could be either, I'd ask on their Github Issues forum...

Re: Docker Pi Power Board SW Install Error

 

I have run the install three times and get the same error each time. Wonder if something is
missing from the "github" or if there is a compatibility issue with Bulleye.

Looks like a bad install, the powerboard_daemon file is missing.

Docker Pi Power Board SW Install Error

 

Just built a new micro SD with Bullseye for my 4B. Attempted to install the SW for the Docker Pi Power Board.

Re: WSJT-X with FT 991a Settings #yaesu #bullseye #wsjt-x

 

Thank you all for the reply's and help! Found the problem in the Audio section of WSJT, was using the wrong codec's. There's to many there to choose from.?
Now on to other things I want to see if I can setup. Being new to the Pi programing I got the Linux 101 video from KM7ACK to help with my programing skill's, ie, I have none, but will try anything once. Looks like a bunch of good & qualified guys here. Thank you all for the help.

Re: WSJT-X with FT 991a Settings #yaesu #bullseye #wsjt-x

 

hello allen,
991a, pi3b+, bullseye, build a pi, ocf dipole, about 40w.
ran flrig for a long time.? however, the audio decode would fail after a few hours, aka, not running all night or all day.?
ditched flrig for usb cable from the 991a to the pi3b+ direct.? so far its stable and runs for days without losing audio.
last time i rebooted the pi3b+ was up for 3 days.?
if you haven't solved your issues wit js8 or wsjtx email me. or i can send the settings i use here??

Pulse Audio and Direwolf?

 

I am running the latest Version of Raspian OS on my pi.

will pulse audio work okay with direwolf?


Re: WSJT-X with FT 991a Settings #yaesu #bullseye #wsjt-x

 

Allen - I have the rig and computer arrangement exactly like KB8SRX.? Thanks to Jason for the excellent bit of documentation.?

Like others, I get wound up in the FT-991A menus, but have found WSJT-X and JS8Call easy to configure with this setup and FLRig.? I've had more problems configuring for FM packet than HF data modes.
My radio menu settings are nearly identical to Jason's.? The only differences are in high and low audio filter settings (066-069), but those would only affect receive performance.

Mine just happens to be working on a new install and WSJT-X hadn't been configured, so it was a quick test case.? FLRig was already configured and as KB8SRX shows.? WSJT-X started decoding as soon as I set "Rig" to "FLRig" and got the soundcard input/output set.? My sound device happens to be "hw:CARD=CODEC,DEV=0" for WSJT-X because I haven't progressed very far in managing RPi OS audio configurations.? It's certainly not as easy as Windows in that regard.

On the WSJT-X "Radio" tab, the "Test CAT" button works here as soon as "Rig" is set.? Likewise for the "Test PTT" button once "PTT Method" was then set to "CAT".? Under "Mode", I likewise use "Data/Pkt" so WSJT-X switches the radio to its D-U (Data-USB) mode via CAT.? I've been bitten by leaving that in the default "None" position because I bop around between different modes and forget to switch mode manually at the radio.? No problems just letting WSJT-X and, similarly, JS8Call set the mode, though.

That was it. There's really little to configure with WSJT-X when using FLRig.


Re: 64bit Bullseye and BAP Programs Run Test

 

Thanks for the detailed report. BAP builds FLDIGI from source but apparently there are some changes needed. I haven't dug into it but there seems to be a solution. /g/linuxham/topic/88963003 I have also created an issue ticket

64bit Bullseye and BAP Programs Run Test

 

64bit Bullseye is out of beta and out in the wild. Since I did some testing with what would install on 64bit Bullseye with BAP, I was wondering which programs would run or not. All I am doing on this test is to see if the program starts, and if not, document any error messages that come up. I do not know most of the programs, so I could and will be wrong somewhere :D?

To Recap: FLDIGI is the only program on BAP that did not install through BAP from my tests. I did not try to build FLRDIGI from source.?

I am running a Pi 4B - 8gig and using a 64gig Card. I also do not have a radio hooked up. Again. I am only interested in seeing if the programs starts or not.

Build a Pi Donate?- Starts
Build a Pi FAQ?- Starts
Build a Pi Tech Support?- Starts
Build a Pi Update Tool?- Starts
FLAMP - Error - 'Start fldigi before starting flamp'
FLMSG - Starts
FLNET - Starts - it does ask for a .csv file. Closes when I do not select a file
FLRIG -?Starts
FLWRAP -?Starts
ARDOP GUI - Nothing Happens
Call Sign Lookup - Starts
CHIRP - Starts
Conky - Starts
Dipole Calculator - Starts
Direwolf - Starts - gives and error message and then the error message goes away
gARIM - Starts

Ham Clock - Starts
HAMRS - Nothing Happens
HotSpot Tools - Starts
JS8CALL - Starts
M0IAX JS8 Utils - Nothing Happens

PiQTSoundModem - Nothing Happens
PyQSO - Starts
QSSTV - Starts
Temperature Converter - Starts
TQSL - Starts
WSJT-X - Starts
XASTIR - Starts
YACC - Starts
XYGRIB - Starts

Again, this was just a test to see what starts and what doesn't start. You may get different results, but these are mine.


Re: WSJT-X with FT 991a Settings #yaesu #bullseye #wsjt-x

Good Morning Allen, If no one has helped you yet, I'll give it a shot, I have been fighting with my 991a for a while, and I think I have it worked out, at least enough to make a half a dozen HF Contacts and 2 VHF contacts on FT8,? ?I needed to resize all of the pictures for the email, but if you need them larger, just shoot me an email to kb8srx@... and I can send them to you, by the way my FT-991a is hooked to the Pi4 8gig with ONLY the USB Cable......so if your using a secondary soundcard the audio settings may not work for you, good luck?

Cant get the FT 991a to transmit on WSJT-X. FLRIG works with the radio; ie tx button, frequency changes, doesn't power on/off though. WSJT Test CAT lights green, but Test PPT won't key radio.

Re: BAP 3.2.1 Conky

 

Hello,

I used the center image 'trick' here too, But I still have seen the wonky-conky happen.
??
Then I recall that someone mentioned it might be related to VNC. (One of my PIs is connected to a keyboard and terminal [not headless] but is set up so it can run headless).? I realized that the terminal connected pi always came up conky correctly in position ----- unless I rebooted it remotely via VNC.

I've found, that if I'm in VNC and ask for a reboot, and leave the VNC window open while waiting for the pi to restart,? Conky data shows up in the middle of the screen.

IF on the other hand, I ask for a reboot, and kill the VNC window, when I start up a new VNC window AFTER reboot has completed, the Conky data is on the right hand side of the screen where I expect it.

Once the conky is 'wonky',? terminating VNC and re connecting does not clear the location.? But IF I reboot the system and close VNC, Conky returns to its correct position.

I have tried replicating and found that it almost always appears in the 'wrong' position, if I don't kill the VNC session after reboot.

Maybe this will help others as well.


Re: WSJT-X with FT 991a Settings #yaesu #bullseye #wsjt-x

 

Also I meant to say - run flrig then run wsjt-x (set to flrig as the rig)

Re: 64bit Bullseye and BAP install

Ok, I have a Pi 8GB, but some how I over powered it and saw smoke come out, so I

will putting in an order for another. I was going to set it up to use as the home PC

with two monitors to replace the old laptop I am currently using. I have the adapter to

use the 500GB internal drive of the laptop here now, and a monitor to mount the pi onto

and another monitor to plug in. Looks like I may have to just put in an order and wait until

they ship to me.

The Rpi 4B 4GB that is the Ham PC is doing good. I have it loaded with the bullseye 32 and trying

it out. However with the shack in the garage and no heater and temperatures running in low 30s

I haven't gotten to try it much. It did install the three Fl-suite apps I use just fine and the few others

too.

Have a good day.

I don't remember is you said in the first of these emails, but what Rpi are you using this on? If it is one

with less then 4GB you will have to extent the size of the swap space. I have seen FlDIGI fail to install

at times even with a pi with 4GB, so have increased the swap to one or two Gigs to allow it to install.

You may want to try that.

I have never had a problem? with a Pi with 8GB.

Hi Marty,

My test Pi is a model 4B with 8gigs.?

It just rips through the install pretty quick. The 64bit Bullseye installs BAP quicker than the 32bit Bullseye.

Re: 64bit Bullseye and BAP install

 

More install testing notes

When I did the initial install, I got an error message (screenshot below) that the Pat config did not have a grid square in it. I did enter my proper grid square when the install script asked for it just like I normally do. So it looks like the install script is not seeing the entry during the install.

Another thing I noticed, when I set my timezone to central, I saw errors that the local was not in the database. When I chose Chicago on a subsequent install, I did not see the local error.

Second run from scratch.

Basically same results as the first scratch install. The update widget that popped up did not show up until after the 1st run of BAP. I did a screenshot of the notification called 'updateNotificationIcon'. Attached is a screenshot of the list of updates as shown by the widget called 'List-of-updates-needed'.

I ran the BAP update tool without updating, choosing the items that did not install or needed an update, and everything installed except for

HAMLIB ¨C Needs Update
FLDIGI ¨C Not installed
GARMIN - Not Installed
XYGRIB ¨C Not Installed

I then ran the update through the widget, which did not require a restart. I then ran BAP Update tool again, just choosing the 4 things above that did not install, and everything installed except for
FLDIGI - Not Installed.

These results compare with the first couple of tests where I installed BAP on a fresh 64bit Raspberry Pi Bullseye image, ran the update widget, then ran BAP Update tool and everything installed except for?
FLDIGI - Not Installed.

So bottom line is that most things will install (according to the BAP updater screen), then updates needed to be installed to get almost everything else, and FLDIGI is the only one that has not installed through BAP.

Note: The 2 .txt files are log files I created after setting the preferences on the Pi Terminal Window to show 50,000 lines, then copied the text into a document.

@KM4ACK - Jason, I know that you have commitments until next month, but I still looked at the installer so the information is here when you get bandwidth to take a look at it. If you need more information, just tell me what you need, and I will run it for you.

Sidenote: The initial full install takes about 2-2.5 hours to complete, and the install after running the updates take around an hour or so. The new Raspberry OS Imaging tool takes about 10 minutes to fully image the 64bit image on a 64gig MicroSD Card. The Pi Foundation did some nice work on it for the macOS because it runs faster than the earlier version.
