New 'noob' to Pi and any non-windows environment

Michael E Wilson Sr
 

Ok guy's. I'm very new to this Pi things as well as the language it uses and the OS. I have a Pi 4B and it came with a sd card loaded with Noobian. That went well. Now my problem. I was to create a new SD card with Buster desktop on it. I have the SD and the usb micro sd writer. I have down loaded (on windows) the buster zip file. Do I copy that to the SD and and unzip it on the card, then install the card in the Pi 4B and let i boot (pressing ctrl + shift + X during the boot)? I have watched the KM4ACK you-tube video's, but they are obviously for someone who is not jumping in for the very first time
thank for any help

Re: Beta 3.0.8 & GPS

 

I had a similar issue, basically the gps did not get a lock on the satellites, even outside under the clear blue sky. There are likely more elegant solutions, but I re-flashed the sd card and loaded BAP with the GPS near a window during the build (in the original build I did not concern myself with the GPSs location and did the build in the basement ham shack). Having the GPS near the window during the build seemed to solve the problem in my case. I am not a professional coder, my 'solution' may have been coincidence, just sharing my individual experience. Best of luck. 73 KD9NNZ?


Re: Version 3.0.8 - Build-a-pi under Preferences - error

Phil,

You showed no "following error" on your email.? If you went to preferences and found Build-a-Pi then you are not on Version 3.0.8.? Build-a-Pi is found under "Hamradio" on version 3.0.8.

flmsg Install error #flmsg

paul eley
 

flmsg.cxx: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
flmsg.cxx:1927:10: error: 'set_pname' is not a member of 'XmlRpc'
? XmlRpc::set_pname(pname);
?


Build-a-Pi 3.0.8

 

Installed the new build 3.0.8 and when I went back to Preferences to find out what needed to be updated, Build-a-Pi was GONE!!!

PANIC

I then checked the Hamradio menu, and there was the update link under Build a pi subdirectory.

Working well now :D?


Re: FLMSG update error

 

Thanks. I¡¯ll wait for the ¡°auto¡± update.?


BAP demo at Telford Hamfest #rpi #bap

 

Hi
In September we have our local Hamfest, run by the club I'm a member of and I'm also wearing two hats and running a table by our Shropshire Linux Users Group.

We have run a Linux table at the hamfest every year since about 2006 and this one we're going to be demonstrating Build-A-Pi and hopefully a special callsign too.

I'll bring more news soon but we hope to create more BAP users -? so we look forward to 5th September ?

- I expect to be demoning using a Pi 400 single box Pi into a FT817 or possibly FT991A.? Anyone able to come along do say hi to us.

Hello All:

I created a new image for an RPi 4/2GB and installed the Beta 3.0.8. All went well, but the GPS does not seem to be working. Conky says SOME ERR and GPSD shows no sensor. Is there a dialog on BETA 3.0.8 and GPS issues?

Re: FLMSG update error

 

Per Dave (FLMSG developer) it is a mistake in the FLMSG code. /g/linuxham/message/45831

His fix is posted here /g/linuxham/message/45828 but requires you to build manually.
This should only be a temporary issue.

That way flmsg was build without errors.

I'm going to replicate this on my desktop machine. If there is a problem
I will write to developers of fldigi suite.
