I have found another issue with Pat winlink, and it also appears to be GPS related. When I try to search for gateways. the distance and azimuth columns are missing (see attachment) I am guessing that more variables are pointing to an incorrect config.json file.

For context, Kelly you suggested the following: "patmenu2 will not work until its re-factored for bookworm.
specifically PATCONFIG=$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pat/config.json
is invalid giving you: Could not open file /pat/config.json: No such file or directory

you could edit the something like PATCONFIG=~/.config/pat/config.json"

I edited line 8 in the manage-pat-functions file, and Pat appeared to get the grid square - except not always as in this particular case when doing a gateway search.

Kelly, in my previous issue, you also mention: "line 47 on the pat menu file will correct the other instance here". Which might be my fix, as I haven't made this change because I looked at line 47 of the manage-pat-functions file, and it didn't make sense to me.

Here is what my manage-pat-functions file looks like in that area:

41: RCALL=$(echo $REMOVE | awk -F "|" '{print $1}')
42: RCALL1=$(echo "\"$RCALL\"")
43: #check something was selected
44: if [ -z "$RCALL" ]; then
45: yad --title="No Selection" --width=300 --height=100 \
46: --image $LOGO --window-icon=$LOGO --image-on-top \
47: --center --form --text="No station was selected\r Please try again" \
48: --button=gtk-ok
49: $MAIN &
51: exit
fi

Thanks in advance

Geeze! What is he up to now?

Appears like the git download was corrupted somehow?

is your SD card healthy??

BAP install on Bullseye.??

开云体育

WiFi dongle?

Had NO success with bookworm on my Pi 3b.

My RPi 3b BAP install that has been rock solid for months decided to crap out on me and no longer has wireless interfaces.

I decided to update and reimage everything with 73Linux but that didn't seem to work with a 3b.? And no RealVNC apparently.? And TigerVNC won't connect.? Nothing but trouble before I even got to 73 Linux.? Worked through it, installed and lost wifi.

Went back to Bullseye.BAP doesn't want to install.? Fatal installation path, destination already exists.

I know KM4ACK has a real job and does this for fun, but I can't help but feel it's been abandoned for sexier projects, more powerful PI's and that maybe it's time to move on.? Anyone care to straighten me out?? I just want to get BAP installed on my old Pi's and do a few basic things.

Maybe go back to installing individual components rather than use BAP?

Thanks for the reply Kelly, sorry I didn't post the whole screen shot.? I have ran the both the wget and the chmod commands listed, the end result was the message I posted.? I believe I may have gotten it running, I found in one of Jason's videos the sudo apt --fix-broken install commands, and I believe it has fixed it.? More testing today.

Thanks for your help.

Mike

missing?
it appears in the directory ardop do you have a binary with execute permissions??

you can get the binary from?

wget?
chmod +x piardopc

line 47 on the patmenu file will correct the other instance here.

I have a Pi5 that I am using to for the Build a Pi.?
I receive the following when following the ARDOP install in the Pi 4 build notes:
Up to this point,? I have everything in the notes working, I have a Digirig hooked to the Pi, but no radio hooked up at this point.

Thx,

I am assuming. line 8 of manage-pat-functions file in the patmenu2 folder as the environment variable is null?

opened a issue for tracking as well?

Remember, if you are unsure of the case, ignore it with -i


ps ax | grep -i bpq

I’m not sure whereis will help, but if you are sure BPQ (an app I’m not familiar with) is running you can run:

ps | grep BPQ?

(check case, may need bpq)

and confirm the exact full process name. Use that exact name in the conky if_running command. If the ps command doesn’t find any such process running then conky’s if_running won’t either.?

I went back and disconnected the two bluetooth devices (the radio and a keyboard). ?I also removed the radio from bluetooth. ?(reminder running Raspberry Pi 4, 64 bit Bookworm)

To pair radio, I used the terminal and Bluetoothctl command. ?(scan on, saw the TH-D74, copied MAC address and paired to it, then used the TRUST command for the MAC address). ?Note, in Bluetoothctl, it said it was paired but then moment later said it was not connected, but this did not impact the Trust command and no error messages. ?Exit Bluetoothctl. ?Using "sudo rfcomm connect 0 'Mac Address' 1" ?I was able to make the com port. ?Under the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar, the TH-D74 now shows green and is connected.

I can know close the connection, but go back to it by just issuing the rfcomm connect command again. ?TH0-D74 is set to auto connect. ?But.....

I don't seem to be able to get any data transfer between the radio and the computer. ?Radio interface is set to Bluetooth for KISS TNC, radio is in the KISS 12 mode, and packet are being heard by the radio. ?But, when connected to YAAC vial rfcomm0, no data transfer either to or from the radio/computer. ?I did notice that the bluetooth icon on the radio is not blue but gray, indicating bluetooth is not active, perhaps. ?The radio is connected to the computer because if I turn the radio off, the computer "hangs up" the connection. ?I seem to be missing a step. ?Any ideas?

patmenu2 will not work until its re-factored for bookworm.
specifically?PATCONFIG=$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pat/config.json
is invalid giving you: Could not open file /pat/config.json: No such file or directory

you could edit the ?something like PATCONFIG=~/.config/pat/config.json

otherwise you will need to manually edit PAT or another method.?
