RPI-4 wsjt-x install problem
|
I am running WSJT-X 2.1.2 on my system. PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)" NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="10" VERSION="10 (buster)" VERSION_CODENAME=buster ID=raspbian ID_LIKE=debian HOME_URL="" SUPPORT_URL="" I run a Icom IC-7000 and a SignaLink USB. I run rigctl and setup WSJT-X with "Hamlib NET rigctl" as the radio. I did take a lot of reading, researching and playing around. My issue was getting Hamlib to properly control the radio. I compiled both Hamlib and WSJT-X from source and found?I needed a special run parameter on rigctl to get CAT control working. It is doable.? de Gene N7QLT |

Not sure I can be much help, other than knowing it can be done, but what specific problems are you running into? WSJT-X won't start? Can't control the radio? Can't decode? de Gene N7QLT On Mon, May 4, 2020 at 4:29 PM Bob <bobstohlman@...> wrote: Been at it for hours...still can't get it to run.? I must be overlooking something obvious!? I'll keep trying. |

Started with using sudo apt-get install wsjtx.? That got me V1.7 if memory is correct.? Then used sudo apt-get upgrade wsjtx and that got me to v2.0. Used KM4ACK's update-pab script to update WSJTX only to latest version.? Didn't work for me. Have been doing some checking, comparing WSJTX v2.1.0 which works on one card, but having lots of problems with my main card.? Was initially able to get V2.0.0 working as noted above, then all problems started when trying to upgrade to latest v2.1.2. Finding lots of files on non WSJTX card that don't exist on the working 2.1.0.? Though the main difference is that on the working V2.1.0 card, there is a /usr/bin/wsjtx executable file, 6.6 MiB in size, dated 07/13/2019.? No such executable file can be found on the non-working card.?? Some files are on the working v2.1.0 card that are not on the non-working card. Attaching PDF of files found on the 2 cards related to WSJTX.? Tomorrow will try purging any and all WSJTX files and folders from non-working card, then try loading it again. Chuck KD9DVB |

You did not mention running update first. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install wsjtx ?I installed on 11/18/2019 and got WSJTX v2.1.0 24fcd1. Chuck nc8q |

After many hours, I have WSJT-X 2.1.2 running just fine on RasPi4B and Buster.? I'm NEW to Raspbian and not sure exactly what I did, but this is a summary.? I made sure I had the latest version of Buster using all the update commands.? Then I deleted my WSJT-X 2.0.0 which ran fine.? Then I wen to the WSJT-X Homepage and downloaded the Raspbian Stretch version of WSJT-X v2.1.2.? It downloaded and installed without a problem.? Hope this helps.

Bob NZ2Z, I'm probably the worst source of help!? But try this....see if you can remove the 2.0.0 package.? Then update your pi.
sudo apt-get update? ?*I THINK*** sudo apt-get upgrade Then go to WSJT-X homepage and dwnload 2.1.2. Hope this helps. It took me forever to get it working, but all is well now. 73 de Bob K4RCG |

Not being that sophisticated, went through and deleted all of the wsjtx files one part at a time.? Then used gdebi to install the 2.0.0+repack-2 version.? It seems to be working okay.?? When tried sudo apt-get upgrade wsjtx, came back saying I had latest version.? So will leave it alone for now.? Don't run wsjtx that often.? Use wspr to check signals now and then. 73s Chuck KD9DVB

sudo apt-get remove --purge wsjtx will remove the package and all files related completely. (leaving dependencies) Then you can download from the website and install if you wish but I'm not having any issues with the repositories version wsjtx 2.0.0+repack-2 personally. |

It usually is a bad idea to manually remove files that were installed with an apt-get install command.?? There are almost always lots of dependencies to other files or packages.? Most of the time, I suppose, no real harm is done, but sometimes things can get so out of wack that something will no longer work or you can't do an update, or some other thing.? The same applies for packages built with the compiler packages and installed using the same.? Lots of dependencies. There are ways to remove or purge installed packages if you will learn some more about the utilities. Just a word of warning and my 2 cents. Mark KD0QYN

Thanks.? Was getting frustrated with other methods.? Agree need to learn more about Linux and its ways. Younger son is my computer tech, especially on Linux.? Has own apartment by Purdue, staying apart to avoid chance of spreading virus.? Have to get some more help with that from him. Anyway, it's working for now.? Probably leave it alone to avoid possible damage to other programs. 73s Chuck KD9DVB
