Re: HAMRS install

Hi David,?

Once again I was misleading by not providing all the info.?

I downloaded the 32 but version of Hsmrs. I double clicked the icon in the downloads folder. After about 10 seconds the Hamrs app loaded but was very jumpy. The display was blinking and there was nothing to read because of the constantly moving screen. So I just shut it down. This morning I clicked it again?and it started normal where I could add call signs to the log. I then ran hamclock and both apps behaved and ran together.?

Thanks for your help and now I have to find another app to download and try. I’m not sure if appimage did the trick.?

I’ll keep the group posted.?

Hello Dean,

Ok.. good.? So you got the AppImage to start up and run?? You say the program is not stable.. what does that mean?? Is it crashing on you?? Are you seeing any errors?

As for the SD cars sizing, that all depends on what you intend to do with it.? What size card do you have installed right now??? If you open up a terminal window and run the "df" command, what do you see?? As an example:

?? $ df
?? Filesystem???? 1K-blocks??? Used Available Use% Mounted on
?? /dev/root?????? 15242572 4548496? 10042476? 32% /

The above output shows the "/" or root file system having a ~15.2GB SD card and it has 10.0GB free.?? Generally speaking, most Linux programs with their depency packages are usually quite small.

As for adding icons to the desktop, I recommend you do an Internet search for "raspberry pi OS add program shortcut to the desktop" and you'll see a lot of hits.

OK, I am going to jump ahead. I downloaded the 32bit and I got it to open with a double click. Well that is some progress. Thank you.

The program is not stable. What is the appropriate size SD card should I be using?

?

How do I get the HAMRS program to be an icon on the desktop?

David,

?

My result with uname is: BST 2022 arm7l GNU/Linux

?

I’m guessing 32 bit

?

Also, after download and the file is in “Downloads” folder do I just double click it?

Hello Dean,

I think my previous email was partially misleading/wrong (sorry about that).? It's important that you download one of the "Raspbian" AppImage files which should work for your Raspberry Pi.? To tell which one you need, log into your Raspberry Pi, open up a terminal window and run the command "uname -a".? Here are two examples:

?? #Notice the "armv6l" string - that means 32bit
?? Linux ampr2 6.1.21+ #1642 Mon Apr? 3 17:19:14 BST 2023 armv6l GNU/Linux

?? #Notice the "aarch64" string - that means 64bit
?? Linux rpi5 6.6.74+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.74-1+rpt1 (2025-01-27) aarch64 GNU/Linux


Knowing if your OS is 32bit or 64bit, you need to download and run the correct AppImage:

?? #This is for 32bit OSes
?? -

?? # This is for 64bit OSes
?? -

Give that a try and let us know if you still have issues.

Thanks for the response. I downloaded this file:? ?? -

That is the Raspbian 6 4 bit version. Ok, if these are for Intel/AMD X86 processors.. then that is my problem. I have been using HAMRS on a small laptop in the park just about every day. I am looking for a smaller footprint and this touch screen seemed to fit the bill. I will take your advice and look for another logger.

Hello Dean,


?

I downloaded the HAMRS app and cannot get it to execute. I downloaded appImage, several different flavors but nothing works. Obviously I am doing something wrong but where? I have reviewed youtube videos and tutorials but they are old like 5 years ago. HAMRS? touts itself as a new app just being built up recently.


Did you go to and clicked on "Linux" or Raspian which downloads:

?? -
? ? ? or
?? -
???? or
?? -

If so, the name of the filenames gives away your first issue.? These AppImages are for Intel/AMD X86 processors.. not ARM which is in your Raspberry Pi.? It's possible to run this program under an X86 emulator on your Raspberry Pi but it's going to get complicated pretty fast.? Are you very specifically looking at just this one logging program??? There are a LOT of other logging programs for Linux that should be simple to install and operate.
