73Linux hangs at configuring mariadb-server-10.6 2
I get to this screen and can not get past it. I can't click the OK, can't hit enter, can't move a text cursor. How do I get past this screen??? System is Linux Mint (as you can see partially updated with 73Linux) on a HP i3 chromebook. John KC3YS

HDMi output resolution not compatible with 32¡± Vizio 4
My plan was to hang a 32¡± Vizio TV in my shack and run HamClock and other programs. The Raspberry Pi output to a 42¡± worked just fine, but when I set it up with the Vizio 32¡± the image I guess was too big and ended up being crooked on the screen and the top menu was nearly completely obscured. I be,I¡¯ve there should be a solution to this but as a Linux newbie I don¡¯t know how to fix it. Rick, W2JAZ

73Linux Build & Fetch Solar 7
I recently pulled a long forgotten Build-A-Pi (3B+) out for some updates and noticed 73Linux is the new format. Decided to just do a new build. Install & updates went off without a hitch. As I was wrapping up I remembered there was a way to add solar data to the Conky pane. Followed the video on Youtube from 12/22/2020 as I didn't see an updated version. Ended up with two issues... First, when I manually run fetchsolar in the terminal to initially populate the fields I see the values plus some empty boxes: Second, even though I added the new/related crontab entry, these values don't appear when the Pi boots up. Did I miss a step or two? Thanks. - N1DAE

Pat connection fails. Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig 17
Greetings, I have been attempting to get winlink and vara hf to run on my pi 4 with the lastest x64 RPI os. Rig control works fine (Flrig), I can tune in Vara, I can use WSJTX just fine. When I try to connect to a winlink HF vara everything goes fine, except at the end it just says connecting and no rig control happens, then it does nothing. So I gave up on winlink in wine and am now tying Pat with KM4ACK's Pat menus. Once again everything is working fine, my sound card is set, Flrig is working, and I have CAT control enabled in the config. Once the html launches the browser, I receive the error below. I'm using a digirig with a Xiegu G90. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Bobby W6IWN Subject From Date Message ID 2025/01/12 07:56:37 Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:4532: connect: connection refused. 2025/01/12 07:56:37 Starting HTTP service (http://127.0.0.1:8080)...

Trouble installing VARA on RPi4 7
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

[linuxham] [KM4ACK-Pi] Trouble installing VARA on RPi4
Adrian: Many thanks for the reply ! Linux noob here, but studying. I think I have vb6run (I think SP6) and mfc42 already installed, but I will check. I do NOT have cabextract. I¡¯ll also check the others. Now, with a 32 bit system, do I need wine64 or wine32 ? I need to document all this, because if I actually do get this right, there are a lot of guys that want to know about it. I¡¯ll keep notes. :) 73, Jamie WB4YDL

New install BT Mobilinkd TNC3 9
OK, next issue ¡­ First off, I reviewed Jason¡¯s YT video on the TNC3 and the updated PAT Menu - about 2 years old - and the older (pre-PAT Menu) video using a TNC2 - about 5 years old. Going to PAT Menu -> start/stop modem -> Start Mobilinkd Modem BT. Get connection successful. Clicking Start Mobilinkd Modem BT again (as required) does NOT give a connect and HTTP. It restarts the first dialog - endless loop.. I tried to do the older method with copying the MAC address with hcitool scan and then running rfcomm connect an I got a permission denied for connect. I tried going wired to the TNC3 and it worked flawlessly. Any help appreciated. Going to stop here for the day - not tackling VARA until later ! 73, Jamie WB4YDL

73Linux problem with conky and pi-aprs
Hello! Installed 73Linux on fresh baked pi 4B running "bookworm." Some minor issues: Grid square not displayed on pat menu even though correctly entered in config file. This causes an error-msg /warning I want to download winlink locations. Says distance and azimuth cannot be calculated. The pat app does however start without any error-msges. pi-ARRS cannot start modem(s). I see in the terminal window that there is a problem with X11 window. ignore the error-msg about direwolf.config. I till must edit it: (yad:24359): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 19:34:36.053: gdk_x11_window_get_xid: assertion 'GDK_IS_X11_WINDOW (window)' failed Dire Wolf version 1.7 Includes optional support for: gpsd hamlib cm108-ptt dns-sd ERROR - Could not open config file /home/pi/direwolf.conf Try using -c command line option for alternate location.

During the installation I noticed a similar error-msg concerning the GDK IS 11 window failing. Could these problems be related? WSJTX I noticed the installed version will expire on 15 JAN 2025. Can I update over the 73Linux app? Not a 73Linux issue, but: Every version of RPi OS has its annoying problems, it seems.For me it"s the VNC server. RPiOS "bookworm" uses WAYVNC server. Never heard of it. Most of my VNC clients haven't heard of it either, because they cannot connect to the VNC server on my RPi4b. Anyone else have this issue? I can't get any of the screenshot apps to work either. Could this be related to the X11 problem? I stll have to connect my Pi to my radio in order to complete my evaluation. More later. Addendum: Pi-Apps does not install VARA FM. I used an old YT video from KM4AC about installing VARA on Linux and successfully installed both VARA HF and VARA FM on my Lenovo Laptop running Ubuntu Linux. I hope his instructions are still up to date. I will try installing VARA FM on my RPi using these instructions.Wish me luck!

Because: There was an error creating the child process for this terminal Failed to execute child process "/usr/loca/bin/ardopc64": Failed to execute: No such file or directory I looked in /usr/local/bin/ and indeed, ardopc64 does not exist there.

WSJT-X Frequency readout jumps 3
When working FT8, the frequency readout in WSJT-X will jump all over the place while transmitting. The radio is unaffected and remains on frequency and FLDigi is usually unaffected. However on occasion it will close abruptly. Radio - Icom IC-706MKIIG, Antenna 80M EFHW, Computer PI-4. Any ideas? Paul AC7UT

Cannot get past enter sudo password when trying to instal 73 linux 8 #73linux
I have a lenovo laptop running Mint. Decided to load 73Linux. Twice I have gotten to dialogue box prompt where it asks me to enter my sudo password. I do not know what it is looking for but it will not accept my password. What am I doing wrong? Only password I have ever set on the cptr is the sign in which I believe is also used as the sudo pswd. Thankfully I had made a snapshot in timeshift, so easy to reset to square one. Thanks for any help

rigctld segmentation fault - PI 4 Bookworm 2
I am trying to put together an APRS node on a new PI4 with 4GB with good heat management and power supply. I'm using FLRIG, rigctld, Direwolf, and YAAC. I'm running into a very frustrating problem. I flashed a new Raspberry PI Bookworm 64 system yesterday. I went through the installation of FLRIG, Hamlib (built from source from Github), Direwolf (built from source from Github), and YAAC. Got it all working as expected. Worked beautifully overnight and this morning. I shut it down to make some shack changes. When I restarted the system, at "rigctld -m 4" I got a segmentation fault. I spent a couple of hours trying everything I could think of to resolve the issue, but it persisted. No luck at all. I finally decided start from scratch. I got a new microSD card (SanDisk Extreme 32GB) and flashed it with the Raspberry Pi 64 bit OS, Bookworm, using the Raspberry Pi flasher. Then I did a completely new install of all of the software pieces - FLRIG, Hamlib, Direwolf, and YAAC. It came up and ran fine for about 3 restarts. Then - SEGMENTATION FAULT again when I ran rigctld. Now that whole installation can no longer be used. Then I put that card in another PI4 (a little older one). Same issue. No joy. Any hints as to how to proceed on this one? Pascal AC7N

Can't take a screenshot - scrot 10
Hi all. This is probably my first time posting on this forum. I hope someone here my offer some help on this one. I have just set up Bookworm on 2 PI 4s to use for ham radio digital modes, including APRS. However, in the process, I discovered that I can't seem to get a screenshot. I have tried "scrot", of course. It puts a png file in my home directory, but when I open it with any image display program, it is just a black screen. I have tried this numerous times on both computers with the same results. I tried displaying the png file with several different programs, but nothing but black. Then I installed "gnome-screenshot". It runs, but throws an error saying that it couldn't take a screenshot, even though it tried all different ways (paraphrased). Anyone have any idea what's going on, or a recommendation to take screenshots? Pascal AC7N
