For some reason this happens when the language is set to German. Change the language to English and it should work fine.

hi there,
I try to move from Pi to a small desktop using Linux73. Installation did run but with the first steps of configuration it failed: no apps and after klick on 'Build it' it stopped.
see screenshots
re-installation of Linux73 did not help
I did it first with OS Ubuntu -did not work, then I did it with a new installation on that machine with OS Linux Mint -does not work ...
what to do?

My comment was not to op it was to his commenters

Doh! Should have MAN'd up. if_running pilinbpq works excellently. Thanks, Kelly.

Winelink project is currently offline, its needing a lot of fixes?

From the winelink github (where bap and 73linux get vara):

The first post in this thread addresses a lot of these issues fyi?

I am having this issue as well. I think the download link has changed agian.?

Is this even related? Can we confirm this works before I downgrade my kernel.

Like the Ethernet dongle?

Wifi dongle?

Both are recognized by current kernels.

Thanks Bill! I may have to go back to an old is version and see if I can make it work. Bookworm no longer supports the wpa_supplicant.conf. It has to all be done in the imager tool including the id and password etc..

I did finally get VARA installed on my Pi4B.? But I agree with you.? A cheap, decent laptop is much better.? A Pi is simply too slow.? I have an old Lenovo laptop, not the fastet car in the garage, that I use in my remote shack.? I used a buck converter to connect it directly to the DC output of my PV system.? It keeps the laptop's battery charged.? I have another laptop with Ubuntu Linux and have the usual suspect radio programs installed.? I even got VARA up and running thanks to your tutorial a while back.?

For my shack computer I did want to try out a Windows installation to compare and contrast.? I must say that all the stuff was much easier to install on the Windows machine.? I had everything up and running in a fraction of the time I have spent with my linux pc's and Raspi's.? Major plus there.

Although Pat Winlink does work, I have to admit that Winlink Expresss with all its features, and VARAC, cause me to more likely boot up that laptop in my shack.

I am rather snobby that I really only use Linux.? Considering the amount of time and often frustration at getting stuff to work with Linux, I was not getting out and doing radio, which is what I want to do and not be a "configuration masochist."

The Raspi was a good experiment.? It has its place and uses.? But for a real-time shack computer or something to take into the field I agree with you that a good, used laptop is the better choice.?

I see that you are preferring the Icom IC-705. Icom did it right.? One USB cable for CAT and data, built-in sound interface.? I run an Icom IC_7200 in my shack, also with one USB cable and built-in sound interface.? That radio is supposed to be portable, but it weighs a ton, even though it has compact dimensions.? If you don't have to carry it far, it is "portable."

I also have a Yaesu FT-891.? I think Yaesu really missed the boat by not including a sound interface in the radio.? With an external sound interface and all the cables, the radio is no fun for doing "digital" modes in the field.? Too much "cable salad" (Kabelsalat).

Now, I will put my Pi's aside and use them for some speciall chores, like you are doing.? That's my feedback on this.? Vy 73 de David SV0SGS and DM3BC

What Kelly said plus add in micro-to type A or B adapters, OTG micro to A or B adapters, and a micro hub with 4 type A ports are extremely handy. and maybe a 3 pack of micro usb to type c adapters. I spent about $30 for all the adapters, and well worth the money. A spare WiFi dongle is handy too for diagnostics...?

In addition to a hdmi adapter, a usb Ethernet is handy to keep around or add to the order.?

ok try this:

using either then copy the saved file to you sd card's boot section. if this doesn't help I'm at a loss.

Bill

Yes need wireless before I figure out ssh.

Pi zero imho is not the platform for vnc.

I want to run command line items only for this work. We are working on a unit to send pics and video from a high altitude balloon. The zero 2 has the power I need without the power consumption of a 4 or 5 etc..

still working on this today.

a snippet from 'start-vara-hf'

PIDVARA=$(ps aux | grep .wine | grep VARA.exe)
if [ -z "$PIDVARA" ]
then
yad --title="FAILED" --width=400 --height=100 \
??? --image $LOGO --window-icon=$LOGO --image-on-top --text-align=center \
??? --center --form --text="The VARA Modem FAILED to Start" \
??? --button=gtk-ok &
else
yad --title="VARA MODEM" --width=400 --height=100 \
??? --image $LOGO --window-icon=$LOGO --image-on-top --text-align=center --on-top \
??? --center --form --text="\r\r\r\rThe VARA Modem has Started\rJust a few more seconds" \
??? --button=gtk-ok &
fi

both VARA.exe as well as ' .wine ' are in the list of running tasks asked for.

this isn't an issue with the code but merely somewhere I have fouled stuff up.
