Error installing webchat on Pi4 / bookworm
Hello,
Trying to install webchat, located at github.com/km4ack/webchat. I get the following error: Hit:1 bookworm InRelease Hit:2 bookworm-security InRelease Hit:3 bookworm-updates InRelease Hit:4 bookworm InRelease Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done 19 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them. installing aprsd error: externally-managed-environment ??

If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package, create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv. Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip.

Re: Grid Square not set in Pat Configure File Run 'pat configure' to fix
Adding the following worked for me: Edit /etc/profile and add the following at the end: export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$HOME/.config reboot. ? -- Mike WB8ERJ Packet BBS email: WB8ERJ@WB8ERJ.#NEOH.OH.USA.NOAM Geeze!

Re: Grid Square not set in Pat Configure File Run 'pat configure' to fix
I have tried to reinstall PAT via 73-Linix.? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Pat.? I have used the add/remove programs to remove then add Pat.? Nothing is different, everything else runs with the exception of PAT.? In Conky PAT still shows active all the time even when closed.? None of the options on PAT menu make any difference in changing the program.? All of the config files show the Location and my grid square.? So there has to be something else that is not allowing PAT to install and/or run correctly. The window that asks for the Grid square says YAD in the header for what it's worth.
?
I am on a Pi 5 with 8G, installed an NVME drive of 1T and show only 21.4G used.? I have a GPS attached.? I have been able to get my DigiPi up and running on this same machine and ran PAT through the digipi.
?
Unless there is are other suggestions or options, I will have to use PAT through the digipi and everything else through 73-Linix. |
CW Decoder
Hey all,
Relatively new here. Is there CW Decoder in 73 Linux? Working on my General and haven't had time to start learning CW, but if like to be able to decide what's being sent until I get more fluent.?
If not, can someone recommend a decent software solution, preferably one that is cross platform.?
?
Thanks and 73

Firefox and Chromium
I'm unable to run the browser. Chromium sits there with the hour class, then quits. Firefox ESR runs and crashes. I tried it from the terminal. It said there was a brower?(firefox) running and YAAC was controlling it.? Inovota Quadra had firefox but it's not even on.

Re: Grid Square not set in Pat Configure File Run 'pat configure' to fix
No such luck.? I have tried the Repair Pat Config option.? I have tried the Manual Grid Update and GPS Grid Update too.? So far, nothing works.? I even created a new config through the menu.? It didn't have the LOCATION line in it.? I added it just below my callsign and that made no difference.
?
In Conky, it shows PAT as active even though I have shut it down.? FLRIG and FLDIGI status changes as I start and end them but PAT stays active.
?
So far, I'm thinking the install hiccupped and PAT didn't get installed correctly.
?
Time for a reinstall?? |
Re: Grid Square not set in Pat Configure File Run 'pat configure' to fix
I've verified the line "locator": "DN40AP", is in the config.json file.? This file does have my call sign and my Winlink password? but the "hamlib_rigs" and "my-rig" and both blank.? I'm wondering if it? would be detrimental to run the script again and only select Pat?? I'm thinking along the line of the suggstion to do this for VARA.? Otherwise I'm dead in the water with Pat. |
73 Linux questions
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýGreetings: ? Two questions regarding the updated 73 Linux build: ? 1.?????? Does it support Bookworm64? 2.?????? Does it have the ability to distribute the audio input to multiple applications simultaneously? For example, the ability to run fldigi, JS8Call or other apps at the same time? ( Sometimes this is called bi-mode or tri-mode operation) ? If it can support multiple audio streams, what apps on the menu do you install to accomplish this? ? 73, ? Mark WA0ZIG ? |
Re: Grid Square not set in Pat Configure File Run 'pat configure' to fix
I have looked in the "config" file in the patmenu2 folder and I don't see a line for it.? Is there another file it could be in?? When I execute "pat configure" the file it opens (config.json) has my grid in it on a line labeled "locator".
Beyond that, I'm lost to find it. |
Re: Grid Square not set in Pat Configure File Run 'pat configure' to fix
I just installed this on a Pi5 and am getting this error.? When I run Pat configure I get the message like I entered help.? I can't find where to update the grid square. Every where I look it's already there but this message keeps coming up when I startup. |
Re: Conky location issue
OK changing the gap-y =10 to: gap_y = 50, moved the conky box down below the task bar. That change along with: own_window = true, own_window_type = 'normal', own_window_transparent = false, own_window_hints = 'undecorated,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below', own_window_colour = '#000000', own_window_argb_visual = true, own_window_argb_value = 15, makes the Conky box transparent. If you use the Conky tab to change size you will need to go into the setconky?file in bin/conky and make the same changes or it with overwrite the info in the conkyrc file and you will be back to where you started. make a copy of each file and rename them, for safekeeping?and then make your changes. experiment. It's a great way to learn and get confident working in the code. On Mon, Feb 24, 2025 at 6:07?PM km4ack via <jason.oleham=[email protected]> wrote:
