Finally got Qlog to connect to my rig.? Had to uninstall and re-install Qlog.?
Qlog shows promise.? Will give it a try.
Thanks for all of the suggestions.

CQRlog: Uninstalled MYsql and installed MariaDB.? CQRlog still opens with error concerning connection to MYsql!? I'm giving up on CQRlog.
Qlog shows some promise, but I can't get it to connect to my rig.? I setup a rig profile with parameters that work with other software (e.g.WSJT-X), but no luck.
Might just keep my log on a spreadsheet then figure out how to transfer data to TQSL.? Any ideas?

Dave,
What is the best way to reach you with email now?

I run UBUNTU 22.04.05 LTS and want to get back into SSTV.? What software package will run ?
Are there any dependencies I need to look our for?

Re: FLdigi graphical face lift
Not a bad idea to modernize the UI (but not ruin it), Dave might have some suggestions, but someone with the coding skills will likely need to do the work :-)

Re: FLdigi graphical face lift
That really depends on what you define as "dark mode".? Alternate color renderings for the user interface seems to be highly dependent on the operating system and the user selected desktop experience.
fldigi etal are designed to execute natively on: Windows XP -> 11, all versions of Linux, several versions of Unix, all versions of MacOS.? The UI for all of the applications use the Fast Light Tool Kit, . It is possible to change nearly all of the colors (but not with a single button click) for each.? For example One possible "dark mode" scheme that you can set up and save in flrig. Each individual application has to be coded to allow this degree of color rendering.? The current alpha code for flrig is complete.? So too is fldigi: C++ developers are welcome to work on the other applications to create similar configurable UI color schemes.

Re: FLdigi graphical face lift
At my age, I find most dark modes either hilariously garish / painful or so subdued I cannot tell where one title bar ends and the other begins - they're all the same color of "dark." All of the FT-mode software falls under that umbrella. The only "dark" mode I have found remotely useful is Breeze Twilight on my Mint box using KDE.
While not "infinitely configurable," you can come up with a "dark" mode in Fldigi:

Re: FLdigi graphical face lift
Sorry for my English.
I think that the appearance should be modest, the interface is very intuitive and all this so that the program is fast and the processor burdens little.
For me, this speed and convenience of use counts.
Also "I love" Fldigi :)

Re: FLdigi graphical face lift
Hi Greg,
The look of fldigi comes from the underlying widget technology - FLTK. At the moment this does not have a dark theme. The UPS of FLTK is that it is fast and light (hence the FL part of the name), so does not waste a lot of CPU and GPU processing rendering fancy
looks. It is also highly portable and graphics rendering is one aspect where different OSs and indeed different windows managers require specific code making this requirement a lot more difficult to hide from the application developer.
That said, I also use FLTK as the technology for my personal logging program and have implemented a kind of dark mode where I have changed the default foreground and background colours, but it was by no sense a trivial mod as I had hard-coded colours instead
of using the default ones in a number of places. Also I found light text on a dark background more difficult to read at my age, so I don't often use it in dark mode.
As to introducing fancy styles of drawing the individual widgets, this will be more difficult to retro-fit into existing code.
It would not be impossible, but it would require a lot of effort for minimum gain.

Re: FLdigi graphical face lift
Almost everything colorful can be changed in the configuration dialog. I always change my U/I to a darker look.

If some FT8 person doesn't see the value in using FLDIGI, I doubt some pretty pictures are going to bring them around.?

Thanks Adrian :)
Great it's working for you now.
Interesting though that it needed both VC redistributables too.
As a thought, you might want to advocate for FTBCAT on the Crossover web site. I do for a couple of apps that I got going. Then you can add the tips to get an app going right on the app page. If you sign up as a Better Tester then you can get access to beta and nightly builds or Crossover too. You might already know that.

Adrian,

You got me thinking about VB6 and I did see your unanswered posts in the forum.

But I did see this:

The post is old but it does say 24.0.4 was tested and it works. that's the latest version for Linux and what I am running.

I thought I'd post this in case it was of some value.

Thanks for that Adrian. This is extremely useful information.

Andy,
Great script.... I had issues with pipewire (on Ubuntu), but fine
on Raspberry 4 and 5.? Have you identified the culprit?

Re: Andy's Ham Radio Linux version 26C has been released!
'Tis a wonderful thing! Congratulations to Andy!
Should it be available on Distrowatch.org? It is a first stop to
find notable new Linux.
Pardon me if it has been added recently.
Doesn't do any harm to let the world know that Amateur Radio is
alive, well and progressing with developments like this.
