Subject: [KM4ACK-Pi] No GPS Tool installed on KM4ACK Build-a-Pi?

Every video that I see KM4ACK shows going to the "Accessories" menu and selecting the "GPS Tool." For whatever reason my install doesn't have that. Did I miss something when doing the install? I added the little pink GPS dongle he shows but can't figure out how to get it installed.

Here is my current install info:

Re: Linux73 install over BAP + manual VARA = AX.25 and Direwolf issues #73linux #direwolf #IC-705

 

OK Kelly, I ran the three commands that you suggested.

(I ran $ sudo apt-get remove libhamlib* without the -y because I wanted to see the removal list.) This command suggested that I follow-up with running?
sudo apt autoremove , which I did.

The console results are shown below.
?How do you recommend that I install a fresh hamlib ?

And before I reinstall, do I need to run apt-mark unhold for the packages I previously held?

Thanks again,

Re: Wo-We replacement

 

I have a Wo-We that I bought earlier. I just checked the power plug for it and it indeed says output 19V. However I have been operating the WO-WE off my DC power supply since I received it with no problems. I run most everything in my shack from the DC power supply. I've also tested it off a Powerwerx 30ah LiFePo battery. No problems. The cable runs from the DC plug to the Anderson Power Pole connector on the DC distro panel. You should be fine.?

will stop apt and remove, of which you can try a reinstall but .. this is a rabbit hole

Re: More GPS Winlink Bookworm woes

 

OK more banging my head against a wall - er troubleshooting.

I am actually making a bit of progress. Kelly, per your recommendation, I changed my shell script to the following:

#!/bin/bash
cd $HOME/patmenu2
./patmenu
exit 0

As I said previously, this is the only way for me to get Pat to work.

This seems to work - sort of.? For reference, I am (for now...) using Ardop, but I don't think it will make a difference.

When I start the Ardop modem all seems well until I "Select Alias". When I do, it selects the callsign, but not the frequency to send to flrig. If I manually type in the correct frequency in the "Freq:" dialog, then click on the "Target" (gateway callsign) it properly sends the freq to FLrig.?

Also if I click "Show RMS list" and select a gateway, it properly fills in the frequency and gateway callsign in Pat and merrily sends the frequency on to FLrig.

At least at this point I can finagle things to make it work.

Kelly, I know you don't use pat, but I thought it worthwhile to document what I have found so far.

Thanks again for your help!!

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work. I also tried set the menu-item working directory to /home/pi/ and that didn't work.

I also wrote a quick script and placed it in both the home directory and in the desktop directory. It didn't work either. The only thing that works is if I am in the nome directory and give it the full path name /home/pi/patmenu2/patmenu

#!/bin/bash

Re: Linux73 install over BAP + manual VARA = AX.25 and Direwolf issues #73linux #direwolf #IC-705

 

Sounds like you have a few versions of Hamlib that may have got messed up along the way possibly?libhamlib*.* in /usr/lib which need cleaned up, could try removing all hamlib insure it¡¯s not a deb and recompile it in.. if that tracks?

Re: Linux73 install over BAP + manual VARA = AX.25 and Direwolf issues #73linux #direwolf #IC-705

 

Kelly,

OK, I opened flrig and then ran this command:

? ?$?rigctld -m4

¡­ and terminal returned this error:

? ? ? rigctld: symbol lookup error: rigctld: undefined symbol: network_multicast_server



So I went ahead anyway and opened pat and tried the packet modem, the VARA FM modem and the VARA modem, and they all failed with the same QSY / rig control errors as before:

?
I¡¯m wondering if there is something fundamental wrong with my Linux73 installation that came about because I installed over the top of a BAP installation of the same apps? I keep getting these same AX25 / rig control errors¡­

On a whim, I tried running the Linux73 Update-Tool and it said that VARIM, XASTIR and PACKETSEARCH all NEEDS_UPDATE, so I ran the updater, rebooted and tried pat packet modem again, but the same errors appear.

I appreciate the time you¡¯re spending helping me troubleshoot this, what do you think is wrong ?

Thanks,

Rob ? KK6JNI


Re: Linux73 install over BAP + manual VARA = AX.25 and Direwolf issues #73linux #direwolf #IC-705

 

it fixes direwolf but not this new thing.. it might be easier to fix that line back and run a command window with rigctl-net

start flrig
run a new terminal session with, rigctld -m4
run the PAT apps and see if that fixes?

if you set the line in direwolf config to?PTT RIG 4 localhost:12345

========================

No, same errors. ?I commented out:

# PTT RIG 2 localhost:4235 ? ? ? ? ? ?(this was from Jason¡¯s IC-705 videos¡­)

¡­and added this line below it:

PTT RIG 4 ?localhost:12345

Then when I open flrig, it connects to the radio and Conky reports ¡°FLRIG ACTIVE¡±

Then when I open Direwolf from the Hamradio menu, it says:

? ? ? Audio device for both receive and transmit: plughw:3,0 (channel 0)
? ? ? Channel 0: 1200 baud, AFSK 1200 & 2200 Hz, A+, 44100sample rate / 3 [ in green text ]

? ? ? Ready to accept AGW client application 0 on port 8000 ¡­
? ? ? Ready to accept KISS TCP client application on port 8001 ¡­

Conky reports DIREWOLF ACTIVE




But then, when I open the pat mailbox in Chromium, I get the same QSY failure message as before:

? ? ? Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:4532 connect connection refused.




So I opened Pat Menu to try to test VARA HF. When I clicked ¡°Stop Modems¡± and then ¡°Start VARA Modem (BETA)¡±, I got an error, ¡°It looks like direwolf is running. Stop all modems and try again¡± :




So I want back to the direwolf terminal window and did CONTROL-C to stop direwolf. Then when I clicked ¡°Start VARA Modem (BETA)¡±, it started up pat mailbox in chromium, but with the same QSY error when I tried to connect with packet:

? ? ? Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:4532 connect connection refused.




Interestingly, the flrig window showed that it was still connected to the radio at the correct frequency, but pat mailbox was not able to set the new frequency in flrig.

It seems the problem is between pat winlink and flrig ¡ª they aren¡¯t playing well with each other.

Why did you have me change direwolf.conf ?to?PTT RIG 4 ?localhost:12345 from Jason¡¯s PTT RIG 2 localhost:4235 ? It didn¡¯t seem to change anything¡­
