Re: JS8 and FT8 headless problem
Hi,
Only while headless operating, my IC-705 receives fine, but when I try and tx it begins, and halfway through transmission the program closes, and leaves transceiver in tx. Fl rig will not stop the transmission. Only turning the 705 off and on again works.
Then Wsjtx ,or JS8 needs to be opened again.
Any suggestions?

Errors in terminal on update
My attached /var/log/apt/term.log has several errors that began after updating to Version 3.1.2.? I'm not a 100% sure if this is the log from the terminal window that appears during an update but I can't copy but one screen when I try to copy that log.? Any help with resolving errors is appreciated.

Re: Installed current release of BAP have GPS problem
run this command: gpsd -Vand see if it says you have 3.23.1 installed. Anytime you need to find a library/package, you can use the apt-cache search tool: apt-cache search <package-name> apt-cache search matplotlib--

The Pi Zero 2 looks pretty exciting from the initial videos I have seen. I have one on pre-order so hopefully I will have it soon. The big issue I see at the moment is getting the FLDIGI suite to build with only 512M ram. In order for it to build on the Pi 3 (1GB ram), we have to increase the swap file. This may work with the Zero as well but I haven't tested it. You can install the entire suite from the repository without issue but this will leave you with an older version of each application. For some this will be no issue. If you have a newer radio (lab599, IC705, etc), it may not be supported in the older version of FLRIG.? --

Re: Pat fails: snd_pcm_status() failed: No such device
#pat-mail
Hey guys. Consider this issue closed. I found a bad memory card. They can only take so many writes!
Do you guys think it's safe to say that peculiar behavior means bad storage? That case tends to be true with HDDs in the full size computer world. I'd normally replace a hard drive at work if we started getting odd errors and random behaviors.

No worries Terry. It's beginning to look like a problem in ALSA. When I look for what processes are using sound devices, I get this: ________________________________________________
fuser -fv /dev/snd/* /dev/dsp*
Specified filename /dev/dsp* does not exist.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?USER? ? ? ? PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:? pi? ? ? ? 23842 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/controlC1:? pi? ? ? ? 23842 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/controlC2:? pi? ? ? ? 23842 F.... pulseaudio
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These processes I can kill by PID. It doesn't help though. Here's lsusb: ____________________________________________________________
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

The device with the arrow is the one that's inaccessible. If it's in this list, it's seen by the OS.
I'll continue working through this and post my results here.
Unless Jason has some brilliance in this.... B-)

This is a digirig mobile. It works when connected to my laptop, but not the Pi, so it's not hardware. I have a sinking suspicion that it's that last update I did that broke something.

Where can I find the ardop log?

I have one on pre order, plus a usb hat.. also found a 4th Gen iPad on sale at pc recycle site I watch (my first apple! what is wrong with me?!) Goal is a one small dry box with every thing needed to operate..?
I will start a new thread

Re: Pat fails: snd_pcm_status() failed: No such device

Did you run this command that Jason posted earlier?
arecord -l
Can you post the results along with?your pat menu config? ?This could be that for some reason the sound card addesss changed at the Linux os level.?
Another place to look for more info would be the ardop log.

You may want to checkout the digipi videos where he talks about changing the processor capacity from 70% to 100% which opens more options. The pi zero 2 should only be better.
I really wish they would have released a 1gb version for a higher cost.
Good luck and keep us posted! I¡¯m going to try and get one next week when I¡¯m near a microcenter!

Re: Installed current release of BAP have GPS problem
Got down to this line in your install instructions
sudo scons udev-instal
But it stopped with this:
WARNING: gpsplot is missing required runtime module matplotlib
WARNING: Python2.7 too old (need 3.6): gps/aiogps.py will not be installed
Ensure your PYTHONPATH includes /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/
Python 3.6 is currently installed.? I can't find matplotlib to install.? Can you help me furher?

Re: Pat fails: snd_pcm_status() failed: No such device

Do you have any other apps open (JS8Call, FT8, etc) that could be using the sound card? Linux only allows one app at a time to use the sound card by default. Run this command arecord -land post the results. Also, post your pat menu settings. Was this a packet (direwolf) connection or ARDOP? --

Pat fails: snd_pcm_status() failed: No such device
#pat-mail
Hey guys. Was working a few days ago. Not sure what changed. When I run Pat and try to establish a connection, I get this error in the console:
snd_pcm_status() failed: No such device
And then each consecutive attempt is very short, a PTT ker-chunk one could say, and each PTT generates this:
cannot open playback audio device plughw:2,0 (Device or resource busy)
No problems a few days ago, and now this. I did do an apt update and upgrade, but thought that could be separate since most of BAP's stuff installs outside of the APT system. What logs can I post to help diagnose the problem?

Re: Installed current release of BAP have GPS problem
There was an API change in the latest gpsd which has caused as well. We are waiting for the developers of other projects to update with the fix. I don't think it will help but if you want to install gpsd manually, these steps should work:
| wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/gpsd/gpsd-3.23.1.tar.gz |
| tar -xzf gpsd-3.23.1.tar.gz |
| scons prefix=/usr --config=force |
sudo ldconfig
| sudo apt-get -y install scons libncurses5-dev python-dev pps-tools chrony |
On my Pi, xgps will load but will not display the skyview. You can also use cgps which gives you the same data minus the pretty interface. --

Re: Installed current release of BAP have GPS problem
I found the gpsd ver 3.23.1 here:?
I unpacked it, but I don't know how to install it.? Please help.
I don't know what to do about updating the xgps API from 3.12 to 3.14.? Please help.
