BAPv3 questions/error message


 

? Happy 4th, everybody!

I just did a full Build a Pi v3, install on my RP3B+ with a fresh, updated copy of Buster.

I installed everything, rebooted and plugged in my GPS(Vk-172), and I¡¯m not getting a grid square on Conky. GPS is getting lock/signal, via gpsd, and shows it¡¯s active.

Then, I went to check out Preferences>Build a Pi to see all that I had installed, for further diagnostics, and I got an error message when loading BAPv3: ¡°Failed to execute child process ¡®x-term¡¯(No such file or directory)¡±

I hate to start over, but just wanted to let you know, and see if anyone had any thoughts or suggestions, first.

Thanks a bunch for all of your work on this, and your videos¡ªhappy 4th!

Jason,

your suggestion fixed the ¡°Missing x term¡± problem, and while diagnosing, I realized Ruby was not installed.

I began troubleshooting the missing gridquare on Conky, and figured it out.

I noticed ¡°Pat Active¡± on Conky, and went to Pat Menu>Manage Pat Winlink. Selected GPS Grid update. It told me that Ruby was not installed, and prompted me to install it.?


Once Ruby installed, pat had an active, correct grid square and now Conky does as well¡ªall is working!

thanks for your help.
