Re: Conky

 

I just looked and conky is being developed, AFAICT. the last release was 1.19.6 on Oct 2023.
However the conky on my Linux Mint 21.1 is 1.12.2

Re: Hamlib problems

 

Thanks Kelly. I have made an interesting discovery. I started over with a backup without Hamlib, and reinstalled. After installing Hamlib it worked as it was supposed to. I entered the following command:???rigctl -m 1028 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 38400, and it returned Rig command: as it was supposed to. I entered f and got 14.074 which was the frequency my radio is on. All as it should be.

Then I tried to set it up so that it auto started on boot. I followed the instructions here:?

So here is what I entered:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/rigctld.service??

I added this to the empty file:
?

[Unit]

Description=rigctld Hamradio rig controler

After=syslog.target network.target

?

[Service]

Type=simple

ExecStart=/usr/bin/rigctld -m 1028 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -t 4532 -s 38400

ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

RestartSec=60

Restart=always

User=ae8u

Group=ae8u

?

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

I then ran the following commands:

?

sudo adduser ae8u --system --group --home /var/lib/rigctld

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl enable rigctld.service

sudo systemctl start rigctld.servictl

Now if I enter rigclt,?
?it still returns Rig command: as it should. But when I enter f it comes back with 145000000

Can someone please help me understand what is causing this behavior?

Thanks and 73,
Mike, AE8U


Re: Hamlib problems

 

Sounds like it¡¯s not connecting to the radio is the serial speed correct it¡¯s a unusual value?

Fiddle with the command till you get success? Is the radio a model correct??


rigctld -m 1028 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -t?4532 -s 38400

Hamlib problems

 

Hello forum. I have a Pi 4B running hamlib. I installed it using the scripts provided by KM4ACK located at?.
I set it to run as a rigctld.service. But I have a problem I am struggling to solve. I discovered it when I started setting up Node-RED and all I could get from a request for frequency was gibberish. Upon digging further if I run PuTTY and try to run rigctl, it seems to run fine.? If I run rigctl -l I get the correct response. And if I run rigctl, it gives me Rig command:?But when I enter f , I get 145000000. The rig is set on 14074000.?

My rigctld.service file contains the following:

Description=rigctld Hamlib
After=syslog.target network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/rigctld -m 1028 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -t 4532 -s 38400
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
RestartSec=60
Restart=always
User=rigctld
Group=rigctld
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I can't find any error in the rigctld command.?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks and 73,
Mike, AE8U


Re: Error running Vara scripts posted

 

I don¡¯t personally like Ubuntu, but try them all!?

nothing wrong with 64bit (it all should work) it¡¯s just all VERY NEW, so it¡¯s all different depending . (New is wine 9/wow64)

If vara loads up your likely good backup the ~/.wine (it¡¯s the wine/windows disk)?

if you have some frustrating issue. Delete the .wine folder and make a new wine environment in 32 with?
WINEARCH=win32 winetricks

I am going to grab Wine-stable 23.08 and try with that.?

Hi Kelly! Thank you! Yes, I did try as you note/instruct in your message linked. I got the old ¡°You are running 64 bit version¡± message.

?Is there any advantage to reinstalling OS and using Ubuntu instead?

Re: Sbitx support?

 

Right, but getting it working is the challenging part.
Everything in 73 Linux appears to depend on flrig being up and working.

That depends on tx and rx audio, as well as cat control type stuff.

I don't see where that exists within the current system at all.


Re: Sbitx support?

 

The sbitx is just using a raspberry pi - you can load in whatever you want.


Sbitx support?

 

Hi Team,
?I love BAP/73 Linux.

I recently came into posession of an sBitxv2. The UI is.. challenging.. to me.

Is there any way we can get support for the radio in these utilities? Ideally keeping the main voice functions of the radio intact?

It already runs on a Raspberry Pi, but I never see flrig running, only hamlib on the back end, and have zero idea how to extend things to make it work personally.

(No is a valid answer, I'm also pinging the folks who created the radio to see if they can add support for BAP/73. Just trying to work both ends)

Cheers,
N8MOR


Re: Error running Vara scripts posted

 

Hey Tim, did you check out?/g/KM4ACK-Pi/message/12128

has the basic notes to get everything working and I tested on mint over the weekend should be good?

you need to use the WineHQ package for mint as the OS only has wine 6.x which is very old now?
wine 8+ will run VarAC with higher success?

varAC also needs vcrun2010 installed via winetricks?

Re: Error running Vara scripts posted

Kelly - Wow. I see that you are a prolific author on the issues I¡¯m experiencing and a very busy person. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

New info: About six weeks ago, with a crappy old Toshiba laptop, I installed on Linux Mint Wine, Winetricks, Vara modems and VarAC. I dug that laptop out yesterday, fired it up and started, under Wine, VarAC. Vara modem started automatically and I had two QSOs on 20 meters. I have a system that works! (I am clueless on why this works, other than the fact I followed Jason¡¯s instructions to the letter.) I¡¯m writing today because I thought I might back up my Toshiba laptop and then install the backup on the ¡°real nice¡± computer I¡¯d like to use for VarAC. This idea, to me, is a compromise I don¡¯t want to make. I want to ¡°gut it out¡± on the HP Envy360 laptop because it¡¯s so much better in so many ways.

If you have some time, start me out on the process with the HP Envy laptop. Fresh install of Linux Mint, or whatever you recommend - although I have a usb stick with Mint on it that works well.

If you don¡¯t have time - my gratitude anyway and no frown from me.

Anyone else reading this have some ideas? I¡¯m all eyes.

Thanks!

Tim

EES not loading pages right

 

So i was doing a demonstration at a local ham fest today about the capability of my go kit. When i tried to use the EES it kept adding to the IP address when i clicked on one of the links from the main page. It would try to load the page as 10.10.10.10/10.10.10.10./email.php. So when i got home and tried it again it would do the same thing on my local network. I would get 192.168.1.45/10.10.10.10/email.php. So im looking for advice on where to start.
