hello,
as mentioned in my messages a few days ago (message/12674 'Linux73 install failed') I had issues to start ARDOP.
I tried Dominic's proposal but it doesn't help.
I did some additional checks and did find that in BaP install there are 2 apps to choose: 'ARDOP' and 'ARDOPGUI' -in 73 Linux install there is just one: 'ARDOP' -see screenshots.
Is that the reason why I can't get ARDOP running?

BaP is installed on a Pi3, 73 Linux is installed on a ThinkCentre small desktop

Thanks, Dominic.

My Linux is pretty weak - how do I run piARDOP_GUI once downloaded?

Okay, the following commands may work or not, I'm just guessing your
configuration and I therefore expect to put the piARDOP_GUI program
into this path: /home/n4srn/ardop/./piARDOP_GUI

#v+
mkdir -p /home/n4srn/ardop && cd /home/n4srn/ardop
wget
chmod +x piARDOP_GUI
#v-

That is for a 32 bit system. If you use 64 bit replace the url above
with this one:



You should be able to start the app from within pat menu.

If you dont have wget, install it with `sudo apt-get -y install wget`.

I'm not a patmenu user so there might be a quicker (easier) solution to
install the app (maybe from within the menu itself?).

This is by design. You would need to edit the PHP code to adjust the character limit.

I'm going to reinstall 73 Linux on and 8GB Pi4 with a 500B SSD in a case.? What OS should I start with to have the best video resolution choices and options?? I've had troubles in the past with the screen "spilling" over the right and left sides a bit and making start menus and Conky unusable without moving to a very low resolution setting.? I also have to run a larger text size due to vision issues.??

Also if anyone can suggest a 12vdc monitor that works well in the 27" diag range I plan to be buying a new one soon.

Thanks!

Pat Menu Setting has a line:

But I have no such directory. How can I install it?

Untested, but the executables can be found over here:

it looks like there is a 32 and a 64 bit version of it.

Thanks Ken,
I switched back to my LTS version of Ubuntu for interest sake to try and get to working there following your instructions.
Seems I need to switch to the ESPHamClock directory as that is where the makefile is before running the make hamclock-1600x960 command.

I finally got 73 Linux up and running with the EES functioning (thanks to the posts in this forum) just in time for hurricane season here in Florida. One thing I noticed is that when sending a text message through EES I cannot enter any characters past the first line. The short "Test Message" I sent to my phone worked just fine.

Is this by design or did something hiccough on my end? If by design, how do I change it to allow more characters?

Thanks in advance.

I run HamClock on Ubuntu 22.x LTS in a VirutalBox on Windows 10 & 11.

If I recall correctly, I needed to install curl.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl

Once the installation is complete, verify it by typing curl in your terminal.

FWIW, I’m running a pretty standard Ubuntu LTS 22.04 here, and I just downloaded via Github ().

I have a different instance Ubuntu Mate, installed on the same laptop. Just booted into that and followed the steps on the SZ1A site.
Hey presto! It worked there, have no idea why it would not work on Ubuntu LTS.

If you are using LCC, I think you ignore everything basic Conky sets up for you.

You start LCC and thus Conky by using the shell script included with LCC: start-lcc.sh.

I installed LCC at ~/.config/conky.
I edit local.conf in that location. (I also edited a few other Lua files in that location that you normally don't have to edit, to get exactly what I wanted.)
Then, ..., I don't remember doing this, but, the last two lines in ~/.config/wayfire.ini are:

[autostart]
conky = bash $HOME/.config/conky/start-lcc.sh

Either I did that, or LCC automatically added it the first time I manually ran ~/.config/conky/start-lcc.sh? This starts LCC when I login and create the desktop.
Be aware that there is a delay set in 'start-lcc.sh' for starting Conky, to allow things to settle down; I had to increase this delay a bit.

The default setting in ~/.config/conky/conky.conf is own_window_transparent = false,
so you have to set it to 'true' in local.conf.

Also, LCC sets 'background = false'. You might need that in a regular Conky config?

And I am using Raspberry Pi OS, not 73linux.

Just goes back to the command prompt after a brief pause.

If you type Hamclock from console/terminal what happens?

I have Ubuntu installed on a my laptop and tried to get Hamclock to work.
I tried Jason's installation method as outlined in his video

FWIW, installing 73linux, then lean-conky-config yielded similar results.? Starting from vanilla PiOS, an unmodified lean_conky_config install had transparency working.? Couple of notes:

• own_window_transparent is set to false
• 73linux installs conky & sets up a config for you.? You'll need to check the conky.desktop file to see how/where conky is started -- to confirm it's getting your mods.

Here's a video walk through for installing the WiFi driver

For transparency, do you have

own_window_transparent = true,

in your configuration file?

Yes, I added this line. Conky still works fine, but the background is still black for me after reboot.
