A program like Morse Runner that runs on the Raspberry Pi
In case anyone is interested, while learning the algorithms used by Morse
Runner in order to modify it for my interests, I wrote a python version
that is mostly a clone of Morse Runner. The source is available here:
<>. It runs on my Raspberry Pi 4 with 64
bit Slackware. I also tried it with the Raspberry Pi operating system
loaded on an SD card, and included a few sentences in the README.md on
what needs to be installed for that to work.

Hello David
Thanks for the hints and sorry, I indeed clicked on the wrong mailing list address when I quickly described my problem. Later, I remarked my error and sent the same mail to the right list, and W3DJS wrote he will look for a solution.
So, this thread can be regarded as "closed" here on this list.
By the way, normally, MariaDB (as a free fork of mySQL) is always installed in Distros instead of the original mySQL, with a symlink from mysql to MariaDB. But I have to investigate this, probably, to be sure.

Hello Udo,
Considering HamPC is a customized version of Ubuntu 22.04 for X86 and not the usual focus of Raspberry Pi OS (and other distros) on Raspberry Pi hardware, it might be best to post this question to the dedicated email list for that ISO at [email protected] .? That said, if you search for "cqrlog 'Failed to find valid data directory'", you'll find several hits:
?? - ::? recommends to use MariaDB instead though this seems like a poor recommendation
?? - :: also recommends to switch to MariaDB
?? - :: again recommends to use MariaDB
?? - :: again recommends to use MariaDB
Seems pretty clear that the recommended solution is to switch databases.? That's strange to me so it might be worth asking on the HamPC email list if anyone has *ever gotten* CQRlog working on this image before.? This might be an issue with the ISO that needs to be corrected.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your efforts.
I wonder how can I update a previous version works on a RPI??

HamPC 3.0.1 (August 2022) Released
Fellow Hams,
I am pleased to announce that?, the comprehensive ham radio software for the PC brought to you by the creator of the award-winning HamPi, is now available for public download.
Direct Download Link:?
If you run into issues, please post to the forum on? /g/HamPC/?first. If you see a bug (defect), please report it on the GitHub issues page at:?
Did you know that HamPi and HamPC have a wiki? Find it at?
CHANGELOG:
Version 3.0,1 (August 2022) Release
==============================
*** Add HamPC support for Xubuntu Impish ***
This version of HamPC should be functionally identical to
HamPi 3.0.1p (May 2022) Release, with the exception that
three Raspberry Pi-specific applications are not present,
and now that Python2 has been removed from Xubuntu, two
programs that depend on Python2 have also been removed.

Re: TNC-Pi9k6 will not register on linux using aplay -l and arecord -l commands
Hi,
That's because the TNC-Pi9k6 is not a soundcard, but a KISS TNC.? It is accessed through the serial port /dev/serial0.? You won't be able to use it with JS8Call or similar apps, but you can use it with the PiGate email software or similar apps that need to connect to a KISS modem to send PACKET data.
A program like Direwolf can take the place of the TNC as a virtual KISS TNC.
If you need more help with this, please let me know as I am very familiar with the TNC-Pi9k6.

Re: Internet Uptime Monitor for Pi?
Something about the posted error doesn't look correct.? You should have been in the ~/internet-pi directory when you got to step 3.? The requirements.yml file should be in that directory.
It's possible that the actual error message said that it couldn't find ansible-playbook?? Confirm that ~/.local/bin is in your $PATH.? That where the ansible scripts get installed by pip3.
|
Re: Internet Uptime Monitor for Pi?
Here are the steps to get it going:
- Make sure you have Ansible installed:
- (If
pip3 is not installed) sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip
pip3 install ansible
- Download the internet-pi repository to your computer:
git clone https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi.git && cd internet-pi
- Install the Ansible Galaxy content that's required to make the playbook work:
ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
- Make copies of the
example.inventory.ini and example.config.yml files (dropping the example. from the filenames) and modify them for your own needs
- Run the playbook:
ansible-playbook main.yml
I get down to Step 3 and get ERROR! The requirements file '/home/n4srn/.local/bin/requirements.yml' does not exist. Did I miss something? Bret/N4SRN
