Re: fldigi would like to access the microphone loop
I just wanted to reply that I have the same loop on my Mac Mini M2 running Sonoma 14.6. Going back to FLDigi 4.2.05 didn't help. But, I'm glad to say, installing the Lion version (fldigi-4.2.06-LI) did work.

The latest FreeDV 2.0.0-devel working on OpenSuse Tumbleweed including RADE
I spent some time and with some help from folks I did manage to figure out the steps needed to setup the Python virtual environment on TW and get the needed apps loaded and get FreeDV compiled and running on OpenSuse Tumbleweed.
?
It's a bit of steps but now that I have it figured out it's not too bad. But it's not the usual simple build steps.
?
If anyone needs any tips on TW let me know.

Re: FreeDV (was Re: Best Linux for Ham Radio)
Ping me any time Dave. Always glad to help.
We should probably have a really quick think together about the default partitioning and formats if you go to Tumbelweed. Other than that it's a typical install and the rest we can talk about tweaking to your liking later.
I'm a KDE guy (and I highly recommend the latest KDE Plasma 6 under Wayland) so I know the ways to set that to look great and have all of the enhancements. But you can run any desktop environment or several on Tumbleweed. It's not like some distros what force one DE on you and are forked to support (partially) other DEs.

Re: FreeDV (was Re: Best Linux for Ham Radio)
Hi Rick K9AO.
I might just do that.? If so, I expect I'll be knocking on your email for hints etc at some point!? :-)
To Rick KB8WCK
It's a possibility I guess, but here in the UK, we have totally different electrical grounding and distribution than you do in the US, and also VERY much less lightning etc.
I do occasionally suffer RF in the shack on the low HF here, but that's down to the very small plot I'm on, and the grossly inefficient antenna that is too close to the house.? (No choice in that matter sadly.)
I can exceed the EMF limit (27V/m) inside our house and the nearest antenna neighbor, on the low bands with just some 35W output!
Dummy Load at antenna feed location = minimal RF in the shack on any band, even with the full 100W going up the spout!? So no feeder leaks.? (There again, no PL259/SO239 connectors used either.)
I had not run any RF out, on the day before I found the PC had fallen over, so unlikely that, but who knows.
Regards to All.

Hi David.
Re:
Try booting into recovery mode from the linux boot prompt.
That's the problem, there is no recovery mode option shown, no option of a even a command line while in Grub!
I have boot-able media with LMDE6 on it again, so later I will boot from that (after I've done the hardware diagnostic runs.)? Recover what I need, flatten and start over.
Still not exactly sure of the cause.? But it's the first time since my original transition from Windows to Linux back in the Mint 15 days since this sort of problem occurred.
The machine* was fine before I shut it down as I was going to be out for the day.
(* HP small format desktop, 2.5GHz i5 CPU, 8G RAM, 500G drive, dual monitors.)
Other stuff to do today also, so it'll have to wait.? At least this laptop works OK.

Node-red is a good solution , and the node can be used on

The W1TR under bottles here, seems to install after installing
dotnet48 and using the msi directly.
HRD runs great here under bottles, and I use it as the linux
wsjtx radio interface with my FT-897D
HRD also works well with my Monterey Macos 13" laptop. I use
wine-crossover , and note that the dosdevices symlink is needed
rather than regedit ports.
I don't see the need for udev rules in macos as OSX provides
individual usb serial id's and maintains them.
With node-red on Debian , I connect to rigctld running on my
Windows 10 box and connected to my FTDX101MP.
The SPE amp is serial connected direct to the Debian Trixie PC.
The SPE using link out nodes controls the FTDX101MP drive level
auto on band and level change,
in the same way SPE can control Flexradio drive, but done in
the node.
It also connects a temperature link out to shut down program
(wsjtx TX enable) TX when the amp reaches a certain temperature
for protection.
These things are all adjustable and modifiable by the node-red
user.
I have tried many linux flavours starting with redhat, fedora,
Ubuntu etc over many years, and Debian Trixie (KDE) now is my
favorite.
I also use it to control a FT-747GX on a macos running rigctld

persist with SuSE)

Re: Best Linux for Ham Radio
Hi Tim,
I use all of them together.? CQRlog is tied to JTDX (using UDP),
both are tied to GridTracker (with UDP).? GridTracker has
connectivity to CloudLog, ClubLog, HRDlog, LOTW, QRZ, etc.?
Gridtracker is the unifying tool (see the pic below).? One of the
other benefits of using GridTracker is that there is zero need for
JTAlert - GridTracker has Off-Air Messaging and will allow you to
prioritize your contact interests.
If you are not using FT8/FT4 then, you could used CQRlog to tie to
other online logs, and then use the sync tool in CloudLog to
import and update your CloudLog.? Alternatively - you could update
your QRZ and/or eQSL logs, and sync with CloudLog.
Lots of strategies.. I am a nerd, but it seems to work for me.

Hi Tim,
Not sure why yours switch - mine have remained constant (Ubuntu

I use the udev rules to map per the above - at a minimum, it makes

Re: FreeDV (was Re: Best Linux for Ham Radio)
Just as a thought Dave after you have exhausted your diagnostics on the PC, if you do decide to go to another distro, I can't recommend OpenSuse Tumbleweed enough.
It's a stable rolling release, and the main partition format defaults to BTRFS with subvolumes and I keep my Home directories on an entirely separate XFS partition. You can use whatever partition format you want though. TW has tons of repos and about anything radio wise you could want (and otherwise too). It's kept current via being a rolling release, and it has snapshotting capability. Since I keep my Home partition separate from the main BTRFS partition, I can roll back via a snapshot in the case of a whoops I made or some OS issue or a crash and no effect on the data in my Home. You can control how many snapshots is keeps. And this is one thing I like about the BTRFS file system. If yo go that way and want my repo list let me know.
I also use a USB stick with Rescuezilla on it to do backups of my Linux and Windows operating systems. I back those up to a cheap 4 GB USB removable hard drive. I was initially doing compressed backups to save space. And this works well. But I later needed one file from the backup (to fix an oops I did myself) and I found that I could not retrieve just the one file. There is a backup explorer feature in Rescuezilla that lets you do just that, but only on non-compressed images. So now I save them uncompressed. I was eventually able to get at the file but it took a lot more finagling that the simple explore and retrieve the file that I can do with the backup explorer takes. It'll save things in a way that you can restore just one partition or the entire disk structure.
I'm in the process of building FreeDV on Tumbleweed right now, but looking on a few places to get a lead on why the sioclient fails on a fresh master checkout. Hopefully that'll get solved soon.

Hi.
Well,? I'm doing this on the "standby" laptop, as the main shack
PC, that was running LMDE6 rather well, has objected to something,
and committed suicide!
Looks like I'll be flattening the thing (after some live CD driven
backups) and starting fresh.? Perhaps with a different flavor of
Linux even!? (It boots to a login prompt, but after that, it just
sits there.? No option in the grub menu for any command line
session either!)
Rudimentary checks don't indicate any hardware failure, but I
think I'll run memtest86 and spinrite6.1 too from bootable media,
"just in case", before I do that, but for now, the standby lappy
(also running LMDE6) will have to handle the day-to-day stuff.
Anyway, any experiments with FreeDV, and the work on Flrig I was
doing with the IC-R9000 will have to wait as a result.

Re: FreeDV (was Re: Best Linux for Ham Radio)
Hi.
Well,? I'm doing this on the "standby" laptop, as the main shack PC, that was running LMDE6 rather well, has objected to something, and committed suicide!
Looks like I'll be flattening the thing (after some live CD driven backups) and starting fresh.? Perhaps with a different flavor of Linux even!? (It boots to a login prompt, but after that, it just sits there.? No option in the grub menu for any command line session either!)
Rudimentary checks don't indicate any hardware failure, but I think I'll run memtest86 and spinrite6.1 too from bootable media, "just in case", before I do that, but for now, the standby lappy (also running LMDE6) will have to handle the day-to-day stuff.
Anyway, any experiments with FreeDV, and the work on Flrig I was doing with the IC-R9000 will have to wait as a result.
"I'll be back", but not sure yet when, as there is lots of other non-Ham stuff going on here at present too.

Re: Best Linux for Ham Radio
In response to the question about UDEV, I am using the UDEV rules to keep my USB devices on pseudo static USB ports.? The problem I had was every time I booted, the radio would be on a different usb.? For example /dev/ttyUSB0 today and tomorrow /dev/ttyUSB1.? It became very frustrating very fast.? Enter UDEV rules.? When you look at the properties of the plugged in USB devices they have attributes that, most of the time, distinguish one from another.? Attributes like manufacturer, model, and serial number in many cases.? So, you write rules in a udev rules file that essentially maps these devices to a symlink with a friendly name.? So, in CQRLOG for example, instead of specifying /dev/ttyUSB0 as your CAT serial port, you would use something like /dev/ttyUSB7300 for your IC-7300.
