H,

I'm new to RPI-4 (Debian 10 Buster) and using it for Ham radio. I have Ubuntu exprience on a work-station desktop.
I went through the steps in KM4ACK post very carefully. Everything worked except the actual install.?

When I enter:
#install the package again now that dependencies are fixed.
sudo dpkg -i wsjtx_2.1.0_armhf.deb

I get a error "is not a Debian Format archive"? I then extracted it using the Buster tools and still get the same message.

I downloaded the Debian 64 bit version of wsjt-x 2.1.0 from the wsjt-x site and got the same error.

Thanks Yaniv,

I deleted the previous file from the download folder and and downloaded it again. It appears to be working and the file appears in the download folder. The downloaded file is only 112k and when I open it with a text editor, it says "coming soon!"? Looking at the wsjt web site it says the Raspian version is not released.

I have a new RPI-4 and I'm using the just released Debian 10 "Buster".? Is this your setup?

Thanks,

BTW

Here is the script provided by KM4ACK;
Installing WSJTX on Buster.

Note: Any line that begins with "#" is only a comment and not intended to run. Actual commands are?bold

#from terminal run
#move to downloads directory
cd ~/Downloads
#download the WSJTX file
wget
#install the package
sudo dpkg -i wsjtx_2.1.0_armhf.deb
#The above will fail since it is missing? some dependencies. Below is a handy thing to remember?
sudo apt-get --fix-broken install
#install the package again now that dependencies are fixed
sudo dpkg -i wsjtx_2.1.0_armhf.deb

Welcome to sourceforge.

This issue isn't your fault.? Sourceforge uses a script to help "load balance" downloads such as this, to be more efficient on their network.? That script is served as an html page, and the wget command you pasted, is just downloading that page.

replace the wget command above with:

wget???

which uses the direct download link from one of sourceforges mirrors.

follow the rest of the instructions as KM4ACK shows.? ?This should get you a legitimate binary.

Jeff,

Thanks for the heads up on the way sourceforge works on the back end. I didn't know that their links wouldn't remain the same or not work the same way all of the time. Learn something new every day :-)

Hello Stewart,

One thing is odd, when I first installed "Buster" I stepped through the configure screens and set a password. When I use sudo it accepts the password. But when I try to go to root I get a "password incorrect". I have also tried raspberry.

"sudo" prompts you to for YOUR password but "su" prompts for the root user's password.? If the root password isn't set, you'll never be able to successfully use "su".? If you want to be root all the time, consider using "sudo su".?

Hi, Alf:

??My first WSJT-X on a RaspberryPi was a model 4-1G.
It used a small amount of /swap.
I upgraded to a model 4-2G and it works well. No /swap used.
Perhaps your model 3 does not have enough resources to run WSJT-X.
