Build a Pi 3.0.3 Released

 

Are you able to start conky from the ham radio category of the pi menu? If not, open the terminal and run conky. Post any error messages you see.

Also, run
bash ~/pi-build/diagnostic
and follow the directions. I'll see if I can figure out what's going on.

Hi Jason
I did a re-install of BAP this afternoon and all the issues have gone away.
CONKY is up and running as is VNC?
I'll stick with this for some days to ensure its robust.
Thanks for your suggestions

There is an issue with WSJT-x ver 2.2.2 running WSPR in band hopping mode. It crashes! It also does it on my Laptop running the same version. I had an older version on another pi as well as an older version on my laptop and they both work fine.?

My problem is that I can't find an older version for the Pi. ver 2.2.1 which works ok on both machines. When I search for add/remove programs on the pi, it only comes up with the latest 2.2.2.?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi, Mike!

Get armhf version from here:


Then open a console (terminal window) in directory where is v.2.2.1 and install it via this command:

sudo apt install ./wsjtx_2.2.1_armhf.deb

It will overwrite v.2.2.2 with the old version.
If it is successful, then it's good to mark v.2.2.1 not to be updated via scripts, etc:

sudo apt-mark hold wsjtx

If later there is a new version with the corrected bug then unmark the package:

sudo apt-mark unhold wsjtx

P.S.

You can also download v.2.2.1 for your laptop from the link I sent in previous email. Just pick the right package for your laptop's OS.

Hi Daff,

EDIT: I was able to install it from file manager (just like windows) by right clicking on the file and opening file and was then asked if I wanted to install it! Worked and my problem?seems to be resolved with the 2.2.1 version as I suspected! Then used the hold command and that said it worked also...

?Thanks for the quick reply!
I got the file wsjtx_2.2.1_armhf.deb? into the download area and navigated there in terminal and executed the command sudo apt install ./wsjtx_2.2.1_armhf.deb
and got the following:

pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads $ sudo apt install ./wsjtx_2.2.1_armhf.deb
Reading package lists... Done
E: Unsupported file ./wsjtx_2.2.1_armhf.deb given on commandline
pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads $?
?
So I am not sure what to do here...

I am a complete noob on this command line stuff.

Appreciate your help.

-Mike

Hi Mike,

I'm glad you managed to install it!

Jason, I'm still running a Pi 3B+. Will 3.03 run ok on this older model?

Thanks again. 73.

Yes. It should run fine on the 3B+

Just an FYI:?Jason's entire suite (full install) performs perfectly for me
even on a plain Raspi3, it does not need to be the 'B+' version.

I am able to even run WSJT-X and GridTrack simultaneously, which was
not possible with the older GridTracker release.

CPU temp hovers near 60-C, with no apparent problems for more than 2-weeks
of 24/7 operation.

"Band Hopping" It's a known problem

Will be fixed(?) next release of WSJTX
 

I might be running the first BAP3 version - can I run BAP from the main menu as described for the 3.0.3 upgrade, or do I have to start over.? When I select BAP from the Preferences menu, I get an Error "Failed to execute child process 'xterm' (no such file or directory)"
