This is a bit late, but I¡¯m running Linux on an HP Envy360 laptop with I7 2 core, 16gb ram.

Re: Error running Vara scripts posted

Thank you, Curt. You¡¯re correct. Not time wasted. Now, with a fresh Linux Mint install and NO/Zero Wine installed, can I follow Jason¡¯s script for installing VarAC? Good question, I know. I ran into issues with missing files in the Wine installation and was be-deviled by not being able to use the 32bit prefix. My system kept telling me ¡°You have a 64bit Wine installation.¡±

I guess I also need to install 73Linux because that will get the two Vara modem programs¡­

Note: I thought, via the Linux browser I could just download, unzip, and install the two modem programs. Is that wrong?

I have bald patches now. HA! Thanks for your patience. Maybe I can help down the road when someone else needs hand-holding?

Re: Error running Vara scripts posted

 

Yea. I want to second that comment from Curt.?

You will learn more, also you don¡¯t need to blow away all the ?stuff likely (only .wine) but I recommend just learning by fun break and fix it over and over.

If you were on pi and moving to mint things will go much smoother at the moment (Intel vs arm)?

Never consider it a time waster... consider it a learning experience.

Just because you are just getting into this, doesn't mean it is your fault.?

You learn by trying, and if you run into issues, that just means you will learn more when you find/figure out the issue.

Kelly - thank you! I¡¯ve decided to start over. Wiped the hard drive and re-installed Linux Mint. I will probably just buy Evolve Maestro to run VarAC. (Gosh. This was a time-waster extraordinaire - but my fault for being a noob.)

Re: Error running Vara scripts posted

 

Re reading your error?

blow away your wine drive environment and start over in 32bit (delete one profile and set a new one up) the virtual wine environment you made is 64 and you may have already went back to 32?




Re: Error running Vara scripts posted

 

You will not be able to run any scripts as part of this project I don¡¯t think ¡ª ?for vara they are all broken in latest bookworm and buster due to a few things (see the vara sticky post in groups.io)?

as for varac I noticed it can¡¯t run easily in new wine 64 wow?

The quick answer I have in theory is that the NEW wine 8-9 wow64 is very new released just weeks ago in main branches?

I was having a lot of issues with varac as well it did work but I have a collection of bugs to iron out before reporting myself?

this is advanced fun but I assume reverting to 32wine will solve I need to test?

Set the?WINEARCH?environment variable to?win32?i.e.?export WINEARCH=win32

this isn¡¯t a full how to but hope this puts you on path - I will lab up a little likely this weekend?


vara seems to be working fine and the new wine version is very nice so excited for it?

Hold back wine/box updates or backup before trying new wine !!!!

warning: wine cmd.exe /c echo '%AppData%' returned empty string, error message "wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/home/tim/.wine' is a 64-bit installation."

I need some help fixing this error, please?

The above error is what I get as I work my way to bottom of Jason's instructions for installing VarAC from:


Thanks, in advance. (Note: I'm a total Newbie to Linux and Wine.)

Re: direwolf.conf set up

 

Direwolf is the (software) TNC. To find the soundcard, open a terminal window and type: arecord -l?

Find your soundcard on that list and edit direwolf.conf to point to the soundcard you found.

Watch this video starting around 10:24.

I¡¯m not sure what you¡¯re trying to do??

direwolf at the most simple is just setting the proper sound card (you listed #3)?

and it should start decoding ax25 right away when launched?

as for PTT you uncomment the line in config to match how your PTT works - if using a digirig or signal link - you just send it (don¡¯t mess with cm108 configs) to the serial port and the hardware handles the PTT?
