Gridtracker Patch #buster

 

I am a new build-a-pi user and I am running build-a-pi on buster. I am able to run WSJT-X and make contacts, but would like to run Gridtracker to get the additional benefits. When I run Gridtracker from menu I get a hourglass icon for 20-30 seconds, but the program never opens. I have seen mention of a Gridtracker patch for build-a-pi.

How do I install it and would this solve my current issue?

PS. I did a fresh install of bullseye and then installed build-a-pi on the new install. Gridtracker worked, but WSJT-X did not transmit. rather than spend much time debugging the new install I went back to the working buster install.

If it's a USB soundcard, it will work.

Update Tool #bullseye

Gary Adams W5TAA
 

I ran the Update Tool and had it patch to the new version of Gridtracker however it did not install. I proceeded to run the Update Tool again and I'm getting an error invalid desktop entry file '/usr/local/share/applications/build-a-pi.desktop' and the tool no longer works.

Ok, I got it figured out.??

Thanks Rih for the analyzer idea however because the network had changed it wan't possible as there was no wireless connection to connect too.

Kevin got me to thinking...I had made some changes to my monitor itself so i went back to the basics ans plugged mouse / monitor and keyboard directly into the Pi.? I had video but only for a few seconds then it went crazy and blacked out.? I was able to reset video settings then slowly add things back for the new monitor and all is well now. I can not use the highest resolution for the new monitor bit hey, i can live with that.? apt-get updates currently running

Thanks,
Terry K4HNT

Do you have an app like ¡°Network Analyzer¡± if you do you can scan the IP address of things connected to your network and find your pi IP address.?I¡¯m assuming you plugged Pi into the network, that would be first thing to do.?

Once you know the IP address you can VNC of SSH into the pi to change settings.

Re: Pulse Audio resets volume each time program runs

 

I see "pulse" trying to do things and having trouble when I boot up. But, everything seems to work well so I had ignored those js8call boot up lines. That said though, I'm having trouble with one thing for sure. I have a feeling its pulse related as my reading says bullseye js8call doesn't use Alsa some how ? What I need to know is what line I should see in the "driver line" your supposed to select for Notifications out of a jack ? and also, which one out of a HDMI ? I won't even ask about the bluetooth one as I have read that Bluetooth audio can get complicated ? I eventually might try that but one thing is for sure, I'd like audio notifications from somewhere.


Re: WSJTX Segmentation fault

 

Seems to be WSJTX related. There's mentions of it over on the WSJTX groups.io.
gdb produces this:
Thread 1 "wsjtx" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xb58f8c40 in QtPrivate::qustrchr(QStringView, unsigned short) ()
?? from /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libQt5Core.so.5
I'll wait for an update, hopefully there's a fix.

Hi Jason,

Just to keep you up to date... I got another SD card and installed Bullseye, followed by a very limited clean install of BAP. I got PAT and PAT Menu working, but I get the exact same error message "Grid square not set in Pat configure" whenever it tries to automatically download the RMS station list.

Seems there's a problem with the script, rather than Pat?

Thanks,

Julian

Re: Headless Pi Reversal

 

Pi4 or other model? If Pi4 try the other HDMI port. All Pis should at least show power on and Rainbow screen (even Pi4) unless something else broke, or the wrong input is selected on the monitor.

I am setting the shack back up and in the move, my wireless network has changed.? The issue im having is not my headless pi can no longer attach.? But I am having trouble as i can not see the screen once i connect the HDMI back to the pi.?

WSJTX Segmentation fault

 

Anyone else getting a Segmentation fault with WSJTX 2.5.3? Happens on Decode.
FT991A, Bullseye, BAP, rPI4
Trying to work out if this is WSJTX or Bullseye issue.

73 Andrew, K1YMI


 

In the forum of cqrlog there is a description of how to install cqrlog 2.5.2 on bullseye:
Thanks Rico! I'll take a look at it.

Jason, you could look at the command ¡°apt-mark hold¡± to keep a package from being updated. For example, you could install/update CQRlog while keeping a specific hamlib package version on hold. Google for examples/more info.

Just a thought.

Re: Update Tool New Messages

 

Shouldn't be anything to worry about. You are seeing the screen because there is a patch available for those that need it. There is currently a patch available to install gridtracker that won't install with the main BAP script.

Re: New install of BAP on Bullseye #bullseye #bap

 
Edited

I also have a fresh install of Bullseye for the Raspberry PI and I got exactly the same errors when running the following install commands:?

?git clone https://github.com/km4ack/pi-build.git \
? $HOME/pi-build && bash $HOME/pi-build/build-a-pi

However, I got it to work with the following:

  • Create a pi-build folder in my home directory
  • cd into the pi-build folder
  • git clone
  • type ./build-a-pi and press enter

Update Tool New Messages

 

I've started to get the following messages when I use the BAP Update tool.? The missing directories noted at the end of the message really caught my eye.
