Re: Error running Vara scripts posted

 

Kelly:
"Debian while its generically linux comes in any flavor you want I was only testing on Mint latests because its what Jason's videos primarily focus on as well (testing which repos are still loading km4ack scripts with 100% success is a fair bit of effort, and the values change weekly!)"
I personally avoid the downstreamers from Debian, Especially one who shall remain un-named due to 'snap' and a few other attitudes) I have run Mint (not my cup-o-tea) and a few others, but keep coming back to Debian for full time Desktop and Servers.
I will take your suggestions seriously as to Wine-HQ and winetricks, and begin playing, and hopefully contributing a bit more often as some of my 'issues' are being resolved (growing older sux, BTW)...

Hey Kevin, it's like watching the tide oceanside. The projects ebbs and flows?

Debian while its generically linux comes in any flavor you want I was only testing on Mint latests because its what Jason's videos primarily focus on as well (testing which repos are still loading km4ack scripts with 100% success is a fair bit of effort, and the values change weekly!)

Wine install comes in two major ways WineHQ and Wine. ?one is from the "Head Quarters" and one is from your distribution/repo

the WineHQ will be the new-latest (compile binary) WineHQ-dev is the latest code stable build. any packages simply called wine will be older code these packages are tested and approved by your own situation and apt will handle the errors and such the higher success is with wine stable normally but it was also just ALL updated so its a fun moment of high tide.

winetricks is another fun project spawned much like the pi-build project here it just grew, using the latest copy from git is as follows

wget ?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks?
sudo mv -v winetricks /usr/local/bin

I just tested this and it corrects the VB6 SHA error?

Okay.? That did it.? Just had to run?
sudo apt-get install librxtx-java
It put it in the correct place automatically

Re: Can't Find RXTX java or Native Library

Running 32 bit on rasp pi.? I have not uninstalled anything that I know of.? I use the java command and YAAC comes up an everything else works except no TX or RX.
Hmmm.....I wonder how I could install RXTX JAVA and put it where YAAC can find it?


Re: Conky

 

I agree that it won't work in Wayland, but I am having the same issue in XFCE4 in Debian 12 after an update, was working before. XFCE is still using X11 (which is why I am using it) but, boom, broken. Am researching it myself, too...

Re: direwolf.conf set up

Jeff
 

Okay,? Up and running.? YAAC running.? Whew.? Just create a post on the new YAAC error that just occurred.? Thanks for your help though!!!? Couldn't have gotten this far without you.


Re: Can't Find RXTX java or Native Library

 

By any chance did the 64 bit JAVA environment set itself to be default or did the 32 bit JAVA get removed? Did a quick google search and those 2 answers came up most often.

Kelly:
Just so I am straight on your page here...
I have upgraded a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 - 14ITL05 running Debian 12 as the host OS with an i3 (4 core 8 thread 3GHz), 36GB (4gb on board, upgraded with addt'l 32GB, 1TB NVMe. Wifi 6 onboard, USB3 1GB Ethernet dongle when needed. as my current 'dev box'.
I am running VirtuaBox 6.1.50, Docker.io 20.10.5, getting ready to install KVM to virtualize ARM, getting ready to install Wine, and various other tools. some of my VB VMs are a Proxmox instance and a Debian 12 with Docker for disposable testing.
Are you suggesting compiling Wine and winetricks from github for the 'latest and greatest' or something else?
You may know I am not exactly a noob, but I am trying to get up to speed on some of the functionality for digital beyond APRS.
Thoughts?

Understood. Gonna take a break. Thanks for your effort. I¡¯ll keep watching.

You can manually install still but - all of the automated tools to make this easy are undergoing a lot of active development?

you just gotta plug in and start playing / once you get your wine profile working it¡¯s very important to back it up?

I would assume the latest winetricks is good but needs pulled from Git vs repo (very busy moving machine at the moment)?

best advice is set up a learning environment and just dive in it won¡¯t ever slow down?

Well, I tried.

I set a wine prefix for 32 bit. The comdlg32ecx DLL worked. Pdh-nt4 DLL wasn¡¯t listed. VB6run generated a sha error and asked me to go to a directory and rename an exe file. And, I got the ¡°some verbs are 32 bit and your Wine installation is 64 bit¡± error.

Befuddled here¡­

Hi Kelly - download path issue? Is that for Wine? VB6runtime and file signature issues¡­ This quickly takes the process out of my comfort zone. Not your fault, obviously, but want to acknowledge your kind attention to my issue.

Re: Error running Vara scripts posted

 

to make a default prefix 32bit make sure there is no .wine folder and run

WINEARCH=win32 winetricks

this will make a new 32bit .wine default profile.

However I downloaded new and tried in a VM and seem to be getting failures in VB6runtime download due to file signatures - indicating the download path might be an issue again so .. ooof

Re: Error running Vara scripts posted

Kelly - Thank you. I understand your instructions and can do them. BUT - how do I avoid the 64bit vs 32bit Wine issue? (I¡¯m anticipating problem where none may exist.)

Re: Conky

 

Same here. Conky is not developed for Wayland at all, so it's just going to be a black monolith.


Re: Error running Vara scripts posted

 

Yea after installing wine into your system is all it needs - raspberry is ARM and has additional complexity - wine on Intel is less difficult for sure?


Install DLL with winetricks by running "winetricks" from CLI
?press OK for 'default prefix'
?choose install a DLL or component
?Select some needed DLL and press OK to install
?comdlg32ocx, pdh-nt4, vb6run
?
?
Download Vara, VarAC, WineLink all at once if you want?

wget -r -A "*.zip" 'https://downloads.winlink.org/'

unzip what you need and?
?from CLI you can run with "wine setup.exe" (or install.exe)?
?
copy all the OCX files in VARA rather then set paths or register
?cp ~/.wine/drive_c/VARA/OCX/* ~/.wine/drive_c/VARA/
?

Hi Kelly - thanks for your kind replies. It is confusing to me. The message that you linked? Your hints will work on non-Raspberry Pi hardware?

Re: Error running Vara scripts posted

 

?

I realize it¡¯s confusing but the scripts to install anything with vara related to this group as far as I know all fail currently you will want to Install wine with the operating system repro for best results?

check this?/g/KM4ACK-Pi/message/12128

make the changes listed from winetricks and manually install every windows app you want?
