Re: Portable Digipeater GPS Issue
Finally got the GPS working, since I'm not able to copy and paste i found some typo's and once they were corrected GPS began working properly.
?
I have some errors in direwolf but I won't to try and figure those out myself.
?
One thing i have learned in Ham Radio is most of the time if you are having trouble, it's the operator's fault. In my case anyway.
?
Thanks to all for comments.

Re: Portable Digipeater GPS Issue
So, i have bought another GPS, actually the one you did the video with and still the same problem. Re-installed everything on the pi and still the same problem.?

Tried once again.? Made sure Linux was up to date. checked that my password is my SUDO pswd (it is). Made sure caps lock was off, tried leaving the field blank. Still stalls at the same point just after you choose what you want set up and the installation asks for my sudo pswd the 2nd time .

Re: rigctld segmentation fault - PI 4 Bookworm
Follow-up
?
I think I have a suspect in killing my system for running rigctld. On the previous installs - which failed eventually to allow rigctld to run (segmentation fault) - I had also intalled fldigi from the Debian repository. I didn't run it until after I had gotten the flrig, rigctld, direwolf, YAAC stack running and verified. When I did get around to running fldigi, it ran very jerkily and reluctantly, even hung a couple of times. It was after this that rigctld started throwing segmentation fault errors.
?
My suspicion is that the fldigi build from the repository doesn't play well with Wayland, and that this caused something to break that didn't heal when the fldigi process terminated (ugly and dirty, by the looks of it).
?
I have since done a complete, from the ground up install of the OS (Bookworm 64 from RPi flasher) and built all of my components from source, including flrig and fldigi. So far, this time everything is running as expected, and pretty smoothliy. I haven't gotten rigctld to segment fault today (it's still early).
?
I will continue to experiment with this setup, and see if it survives.
?
Cheers!

Re: New install BT Mobilinkd TNC3
Quite correct. I have a DigiRig for VARA (and packet when I want to do it that way). The Mobilinkd is really easy to deploy for quick packet connects. ? As this busy week ends, I¡¯ll get back to it and try to get it working. ¡dang day job ¡ ;) ? 73, Jamie WB4YDL ?

Re: Portable Digipeater GPS Issue
My GPS puck recently started working intermittently. Fortunately the puck has a red light to show that it is on. Turns out it was not making a connection when plugged into any of the three Pi's I have unless I forced it to one side or the other in the USB port. I replaced the puck with a GPS dongle and all is good now.

rigctld segmentation fault - PI 4 Bookworm
I am trying ?to put together an APRS node on a new PI4 with 4GB with good heat management and power supply. I'm using FLRIG, rigctld, Direwolf, and YAAC.
?
I'm running into a very frustrating problem. I flashed a new Raspberry PI Bookworm 64 system yesterday. I went through the installation of FLRIG, Hamlib (built from source from Github), Direwolf (built from source from Github), and YAAC. Got it all working as expected. Worked beautifully overnight and this morning. I shut it down to make some shack changes. When I restarted the system, at "rigctld -m 4" I got a segmentation fault. I spent a couple of hours trying everything I could think of to resolve the issue, but it persisted. No luck at all.
?
I finally decided start from scratch. I got a new microSD card (SanDisk Extreme 32GB) and flashed it with the Raspberry Pi 64 bit OS, Bookworm, using the Raspberry Pi flasher. Then I did a completely new install of all of the software pieces - FLRIG, Hamlib, Direwolf, and YAAC. It came up and ran fine for about 3 restarts. Then - SEGMENTATION FAULT again when I ran rigctld. Now that whole installation can no longer be used.
?
Then I put that card in another PI4 (a little older one). Same issue. No joy.
?
Any hints as to how to proceed on this one?

Re: Can't take a screenshot - scrot
Hi Michael WA7SKG,
?
Thanks for alerting me to shutter. I checked it out. Unfortunately, the version of shutter which is in the Debian repository isn't the latest, and it still has a bug that causes it to crash when launched on Wayland. At the newest release notes says that v0.99.5 has "fixed crash on Wayland under some circumstances". I suppose that I could build it from source, but it has LOTS of dependencies!

Re: Can't take a screenshot - scrot
Sometimes latest and greatest can bite you in the butt.
Have you tried Shutter? shutter-project.org Supposed to work with Wayland.

Hi Michael WA7SKG,
Thank you for your helpful suggestions.
However, the problem that I'm having is due to the Raspberry PI switch
over to Wayland in the Bookworm version of the OS. Apparently, scrot and
gnome-screenshot only work with X11 widowing system. Wayland breaks
this, so these screen capture programs, which only know about X11, don't
seem to work anymore. Oh well, onward!

Re: Can't take a screenshot - scrot
I always use "Selection". Click the "Selection" button, then click "Take
Screenshot". Click the area of your screen you want to capture and drag
a box around it. When you let go of the mouse button, a dialog box
should pop up asking where to save and what to name it.

I'm trying this. I can launch gnome-screenshot --interactive. From the
box that comes up, I click on "Take Screenshot". It immediately pops up
a box saying: "Unable to capture a screenshot. All possible methods failed"
This is what has me stumped.

Re: Can't take a screenshot - scrot
Thank you, Dominic. I had not been aware of the move from X11 to Wayland. I'll have to look into that.
?
This problem is just an annoyance, not a road block. I prefer to start with the most recent foundation for the projects that I'm working on, so I chose the latest RPI 64 bit desktop version, which happens to be Bookworm. We'll see what happens as developers adapt.

Re: Can't take a screenshot - scrot
This is just me guessing, but I think they moved from X11 to Wayland.
I'm using scrot on my X11 laptop and it works perfectly fine.
You could still try to login into a X11 session at the login screen.
There should be a field for selecting the session (if more than one are
installed).

PS: there are many apps that still won't work on Wayland yet. But for
screenrecording on obs-studio Wayland is just awesome (sometimes).

I have 2 setups here, both Pi 4 with the RPi Bookworm (from the Raspberry Pi
website, using their Raspberry Pi Imager). Same problem on both.

edit:
I just put Bullseye on one of the Pi4s. Scrot works! Gnome Screenshot also
works.
Can anyone confirm that Bookworm killed the ability to screenshot?
