Trouble installing VARA on RPi4

James C. Hall, MD WB4YDL All Messages By This Member #13467 Is there a time limit to install something on a RPi or something ? I’ve been trying to install VARA (using the Pi-Apps install) and I’ve noticed that it will go so far in the installation and just stop - I can wait an hour and it never moves. The CPU slider on Conky will go down to idle at 6-7%. I can restart the process and it may get a little farther (since some things are now installed), but it again stalls mid-stream. This is a new Bullseye install with minimal 73Linux items selected. I installed VARA previously without issue a couple years ago and didn’t have any issues thanks to Jason’s tutorial. WINE stalls about when installing fonts. Any suggestions to try ? 73, Jamie WB4YDL
James C. Hall, MD WB4YDL All Messages By This Member #13471 开云体育 Well, slowly I’m learning some of this Linux stuff ! HI I have a couple SD cards that I go back and forth with. What I decided to do was manually install Box86 and Wine thanks to a great how-to article - ? So, I installed VARA and VARA FM, but neither would run - missing required DLL - a MS Visual Basic. So, I guess this is where Winetricks comes in to save the day. Lots of studying to do - but it is kinda fun and interesting. I could never get the Pi Apps install routine for VARA to work - it would just stall out in the middle of things. If anyone can point me in the right direction on installing and running Winetricks, I would appreciate it. I may try that Pi Apps script again but on Ethernet instead of WiFi. Something to try … 73, Jamie WB4YDL toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Jan 6, 2025, at 9:51?PM, James C.

James C. Hall, MD WB4YDL All Messages By This Member #13481 开云体育 OK, using Winetricks, I installed VB6, and a few missing other files. I was still getting errors about missing or misinstalled OCX files. I had to retrieve them at OCXme.com. Finally, VARA FM materialized briefly … but shut down quickly. A buzzkill. The error is something about advapi32.dll. I tried a different version, but getting the same thing. “Call from 7BDAACE8 to unimplemented function ADVAPI32.DLL. PerfEnumerateCounterSet, aborting wine …” Then it calls for debugger which didn’t run. I’m close, just not there. Any help appreciated. Going to copy this to linuxham group as well. 73, Jamie WB4YDL PS - while running Winetricks for missing files, this error box came up This may be the source of why the VARA install Pi App script would just stall. I never got this box when I ran it - only with Winetricks. Tried wineserver -k and -k9, but it never stopped these boxes. But when I clicked OK, it woul take off and continue to complete the requested fill. Again, RPi4 with 32bit Bullseye. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Jan 10, 2025, at 2:14?PM, James C.

km4ack All Messages By This Member #13485 Have you reported the "stalling" to the Pi-Apps team? Wheez (KI7POL) is the one that built the VARA install script for them if I am not mistaken. He's a member of this group but I haven't seen him around here in a while. ? -- 73, de KM4ACK \| \|
James C. Hall, MD WB4YDL All Messages By This Member #13489 开云体育 Jason: No, I haven’t. I wouldn’t know how to go about that. I’ll try a couple other things and see if I can get it VARA working, before I switch disks and try something different. If all else fails for this, I still have my Beelink T4 Pro with Win10 for the kit … with a 5” monitor ! 73, Jamie WB4YDL toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Jan 11, 2025, at 6:55?AM, km4ack via groups.io <jason.oleham@...> wrote: ?

James C. Hall, MD WB4YDL All Messages By This Member #13491 开云体育 Trying yet another clean install, full 73Linux install, and now attempted VARA HF install using Pi Apps. The difference here is I’m on Ethernet and not WiFi. I got pretty far this time, but for the last hour, I have seen this screen - nothing’s moved. I’ll let it sit overnight and see if anything changes … I did update and test my Beelink T4 Pro - works like a champ. 73, Jamie WB4YDL toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Jan 11, 2025, at 10:01?AM, James C.

James C. Hall, MD WB4YDL All Messages By This Member #13492 开云体育 Well, after watching no activity for a couple hours, I decided to stop the process and reboot. Then I simply restarted the Pi Apps installation script. The script recognized what had already been installed and basically resumed installation from where it stalled previously. After some more time, the terminal window terminated and VARA HF showed green in the Pi Apps menu. So, I tried it out and, lo and behold , it worked !!! Now at midnight, I’ll give myself a rest and install VARA FM tomorrow. Wow - that was painful but finally made it. 73, Jamie WB4YDL toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Jan 11, 2025, at 10:04?PM, James C. Hall, MD WB4YDL <heartdoc@...> wrote: ?
