I'm seeing a similar issue with 3.0.8 on an Icom IC-705.? IC-705 shows the GPS is getting a position fix.? The command" sudo systemctl status gpsd" shows the IC-705 and it shows gpsd running, but running "cgps" does not show it's getting the fix passed to the pi.
I'm also having issues with the IC-705 being seen in flrig.
Josh did a video on getting the 705 GPS working with the Pi. --

Hi John,? I never heard back from Jason
I never saw a post/question from you after the recommendations in my last post to you on June 24. Sorry if you sent it elsewhere and I missed it.
I am having the same problem after the lastest install. I tried all the previous suggestions for this thread including watching the video and still no joy on my end. Everything else for Conky works except for the grid square and xgps and cgps both give good information from the gps dongle
Run this command and see if it produces any errors: /home/pi/bin/conky/grid
If it produces errors, please post them here. If not, run cat /run/user/$UID/gridinfo.txtand see if it shows your grid. ? --

Re: No Gridsquare in Conky but cgps gives me good information.
Hi John,? I never heard back from Jason, I know he has to be super busy these days. I formatted my SD card and did a fresh install of the raspberry pi software and build a pi. After that everything worked. That would be my advice to help get your system running as well.? Once you get that completed let me know if you have a hard time transmitting. I've had to play with the settings in the FT-891 but I have it working now.? 73 K8FOF

Followed your commands and it upgraded to version 90 as you said. Problem still remains. Filed a bug case at the Chromium support forum and they answered that this feature is no longer supported on Chromium.

Your VNC viewer should scale it to fit your screen. If for some reason it's not working (I use all kinds of devices at different resolutions from computers to phones and it works fine) then set the resolution to whatever the native resolution of the device you are viewing with is.
Thanks for the tip Brian, I changed the resolution and it works now! just gotta figure out a resolution that doesnt look like this. Everything I select does a version of this where it cuts off the bottom

I have enabled VNC. I got it to work by changing the resolution as suggested by Brian. Now I just need to figure out a resolution that will show the screen in full without cutting off the bottom

Daft question. Have you enabled VNC? 73 Nigel M0NDE
This is what I get when I try to connect through VNC without first having a monitor connected.  if it is a resolution issue, why does connecting a monitor first fix it? what would be a recommended resolution so I wouldnt need to connect a monitor first? I am wanting to try POTA with it but bringing a monitor with instead of my phone or ipad defeats the purpose of the pi :)

Re: Not able to run headless on reboot/Boot on a PI 4
#rpi4b8gb
#bap
If I don¡¯t have a monitor connected to the pi when I start it up, then VNC says it does not have anything to display. When I restart and the pi is connected to a monitor I can connect and see everything on the monitor and VNC. I can then disconnect the monitor and every time I connect by VNC until I restart it works perfectly. Only when restarting does it make me go through the process again. ?Does connecting to a monitor somehow adjust the resolution so I can view it through VNC and it keeps those settings? If so do I just need to figure out what that resolution setting is by going to config?

I have had this problem since I installed build a pi. I can not connect to VNC until I connect a monitor to it. Once it connects to the monitor the first time I can disconnect the monitor and VNC in but when ever I restart or reboot I need to go through this process again. What am I doing wrong? :)

Re: Version 3.0.8 - Build-a-pi under Preferences - error
The image showed when I created the post. Must have been stripped when it posted.?
I decided to just start at ground zero on anewSD card. Tnx
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.

As of today, when you update to Build-a-Pi v 3.0.8, the update location has changed.?
The updater is located under HamRadio->Build-a-Pi
Recap - The updater location for each version is as follows:?
Build-a-Pi v3.0.7 = Preferences->Build-a-Pi
Build-a-Pi v3.0.8 = Hamradio->Build-a-Pi

Re: Version 3.0.8 - Build-a-pi under Preferences - error
Build-a-Pi v3.0.8 moved the Update tool from Preferences to HamRadio->Build-a-Pi->Update
Edited: I changed the mistake from 3.0.9 to 3.0.8.
It was a typo.
Sorry for the confusion

Re: New 'noob' to Pi and any non-windows environment
Mike,
I use the Raspberry imager which is the easiest way to put the Raspberry Pi OS on an SD card. It has a download for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Information on the imager:?
Download link:?
I would suggest that when you are first starting out, to hook up a monitor keyboard and mouse to the Pi. It just makes it easier to work with.

Re: New 'noob' to Pi and any non-windows environment
Mike, Once you have the zipped Buster download to your computer, you need to extract it and use something like Win32Disk Imager to copy it to the SD card. On Macs we use BalenaEtcher which will uncompress the zip file and then copy it to the SD. Win32DiskImager may do the same. Are you going to use the Pi without a monitor? If so, there are a couple of other steps to make sure your wireless network can see the Pi. But that is another issue.? Let me know,
Les

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
