Correct=no Linux compatibility mode...

Don’t set Linux mode.?

Deleting .ini file helped one time. Second start up? Black boxes in UI and program lock up. Appears to be a font issue. I'll keep digging.

Kelly - deleting .ini file helped. Seems to be running okay right now. Thanks!

Argh - I had this working - clearly piecing together various web pages and videos. And now it doesn't work. I can tell that my pat configuration file got changed because saved server/freqs are gone... But I changed (or gremlins changed...) something else.

And I am sure I made myself notes somewhere - on how to run it - and how I set it up - but I can't find them (maybe it seemed so clear to me at the time that notes weren't necessary).?

So no notes, searching doesn't seem to find the right pointers...

Here is what I think I had working... Pat with Direwolf and a D72A. No additional TNC - cause it is built in to the D72A. I would start packet modem using pat menu - pat itself starts on boot - I would go and choose connect ax.25 and choose a freq and server name - and voila... Now - it is clear the modem is not starting...

Does my sequence make sense with the D72A? Can someone point me at instructions that might get me close?

If I try to fire up direwolf - I get errors...?

Try deleting the .ini file for varAC and start over??

Oh darn. There's something wrong with Wine. VarAC starts, displays a bunch of black boxes again, then locks up. Multiple restarts, and reboots. No joy. I have no clue what went wrong.

Reinstalled VarAC. Seems to be working correctly. At first run, COM33 was missing, so I shut down the program. Re-started, COM33 was back! Selected that port and all is well with program and CAT control with FT-818ND.

Still have a display issue with fonts, but I'll just watch for a fix down the road. As it is now, I can read everything in the interface, it just looks funky. Maybe later today I can stick out my whip and have a QSO.

Wow... You all have great patience, especially Kelly. I've learned a bunch of terminal commands and have some success! YAY!

Keep trying it should load don’t set the Linux compatible ini setting - try closing it and load it again I normally have success.?

I wasn’t aware of that font (tried it and did make any difference for me)?

varAC performance on wine is rough the developer is not a Linux user and the code is closed so .. it’s a uphill adventure?

Well… Darn.
VarAC won’t start properly. There’s something going on with screen drawing. Lot’s of black boxes and the application is non-functional. This is all new after I “found” a font, installed it in /usr/bin/fonts/. So, I will reinstall VarAC and try again. I removed the SotoSans font.

Kelly: No joy in font fix issue. Sorry.

Yea - if you fix the font issue holla!?

Found the correct com port. It was COM33. Having another issue now because I tried to install a "similar" font. I think I can fix that.

Thanks, Kelly!

Forgot to mention com port wine will auto assign them Google the topic is lengthy, but not too complicated you can investigate by looking in the .wine/dosdevices sniff the links?

I have gone back and forth with Irad about this just sent another email.?

I have the same issues even when I have the emoji font installed. It seems to work when you either ignore the error (press continue) or don’t set the Linuxmode in the INI file?

k

PROGRESS! Using Kelly's instructions for Linux Intel version I have VarAC running under Wine with VaraHF as the modem.

I need two more fixes. 1)Fonts! Where/How do I get the needed ones?

2)Find the correct com port within VarAC?

Standing by with my hand held out.

You can’t have two instances the port in use ?

nc or telnet to the service port 4532

Thanks Kelly. I have made an interesting discovery. I started over with a backup without Hamlib, and reinstalled. After installing Hamlib it worked as it was supposed to. I entered the following command:???rigctl -m 1028 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 38400, and it returned Rig command: as it was supposed to. I entered f and got 14.074 which was the frequency my radio is on. All as it should be.

Then I tried to set it up so that it auto started on boot. I followed the instructions here:?

So here is what I entered:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/rigctld.service??

I added this to the empty file:
?

[Unit]

Description=rigctld Hamradio rig controler

After=syslog.target network.target

?

[Service]

Type=simple

ExecStart=/usr/bin/rigctld -m 1028 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -t 4532 -s 38400

ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

RestartSec=60

Restart=always

User=ae8u

Group=ae8u

?

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

I then ran the following commands:

?

sudo adduser ae8u --system --group --home /var/lib/rigctld

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl enable rigctld.service

sudo systemctl start rigctld.servictl

Now if I enter rigclt,??it still returns Rig command: as it should. But when I enter f it comes back with 145000000

Can someone please help me understand what is causing this behavior?

Thanks and 73,
Mike, AE8U
