Help Upgrading flrig on Macbook Pro

 

Dave,
?
First, Congrats on the marriage.
?

I'm revisiting this problem from this past March 1st, starting at message #52328.

Computer is a Macbook Pro with macOS Monterey v12.7.6

Rig is a Xiegu-G90

Interface to computer is DigiRig

Currently running flrig v1.4.7.

?

I've run into an issue with wsjt-x, in that I can't adjust the ALC when I'm transmitting. It pegs at 100%.

?

I want to revisit upgrading to the latest version of flrig. But I expect I will have the same problems I saw back in March. At one point I successfully loaded 2.0.x and it worked for a few days. If my foggy memory serves me correctly, I remember trying to install hamlib, but never got it working. I'm wondering if the failed install of hamlib is having an effect on flrig. I'm open to doing a complete deinstall of flrig, wsjt-x, and hamlib if someone can walk me through the process.

?

Thanks in advnce.

Re: flrig keeps switching mode to USB

 

Hi David
?
For WIndow 10?, it can't connect with RIG ( 7300 / 7610) and? IC7610 can't be sync time in 2.0.05.66 , can you help check?

Re: Renaming audio devices after OS upgrade.

 

Adrian,

thanks for the correction. One notes that Trixie is on version 1.2.3 of PipeWire and version 0.5.something of WirePlumber. Time to let things settle, and to take a deep breath.

Robin, G8DQX

P.S. very jealous of your call!

Re: Renaming audio devices after OS upgrade.

 

Hello Robin.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I'd found that Arch wiki (and a couple of others) and likewise found it rather less than, err...? "Informative", due to the part documented changes (leaving both LUA and JSON info mixed in and incomplete.? For a novice in such matters that's utterly useless.) Hence the earlier question.

No, wpctld is not running, but wpctl exists as a command line tool, but there are no manpages entries for that, and too much conflicting information online as to how to use it.

Off out doing other non radio / computer stuff today.

73 All.

Dave G0WBX.

Dave,

wpctl is part of WirePlumber (.) Is the associated d?mon running? ()

The ArchWiki¡ªusually an excellent vade mecum¡ª offers some advice on device renaming at . However, there is also a warning at the top of section 2 () that

This article or section is out of date. Reason: WirePlumber's configuration format is changing
which is a tad worrying. It quotes a reference which explains that the format is changing from LUA to JSON. () If you're still with me, the good news is that section ArchWiki 2.1 starts off by talking about ¡°PipeWire-flavored JSON objects¡±, but then talks of LUA. So that wiki, until updated, is probably best thought of as providing inspiration. More accurately, the wiki describes, AFAICT, WirePlumber version 0.4. The blog describes what WirePlumber version 0.5 will look like, with some very useful looking hints along the way. (N.B. No-one said that this would be easy, now did they?)

Personally, I've not experimented with this, but expect to have to shortly when installing Ubuntu 24.04.1 on a local test machine. One might note that the change to PipeWire came from Debian 12 (bookworm) upon which Ubuntu 24.04 is largely based, and of course so is LMDE 6, as noted at .

It looks like a learning experience for both of us. At least pavucontrol now offers in-built loopbacks, labelled Audio Pro (or is it Pro Audio?), a definite improvement from setting them up by hand, as it were.

73, I feel your pain¡ªbe grateful it's not OSS!

Robin, G8DQX

P.S. Technically Ubuntu is based on Debian Sid, in turn based at the moment on Debian bookworm, should one be overly pedantic.

I found that the entry in ~/.Profile that specified "pactl load-module module-device-manager" (added by myself to enable device renaming under LMDE5) was not loading that module, as it presumably does not exist under the new OS.? It was also preventing the command line tools such as pactl and wpctl from connecting to their associated "servers"? (Timeouts etc from the command line.)

Hi,

I have TS590S and had the same issue. I have fixed reading the issue of reading all data at once. Look in git for TS590S module and you will find these changes. My guess the fix should be the same for SG version.

Good luck, best regards

IMO Pulseaudio's main claim to fame is the ability to share the sound devices across multiple user applications, whilst retaining individual volume settings and other choices. Basic ALSA doesn't do that. I believe Pipewire does.

The other thing I've noticed is with Pipewire I can click the speaker icon, select the Speakers USB Audio Device and adjust the audio level. The thing I'm not sure of is does this make the this the default audio output device and will I be sending computer sounds out over the air?

Hi Greg,

When I changed from pulseaudio to pipewire I had to change my soundcard device to portaudio and selecting pipewire. Here's my setup.

from the relevant ca files in /etc/pulse


The "ret" expression failure might also suggest you have an errant server string in the fldigi config soundcard devices pulseaudio setup. Just leave it blank if you are using pulse.


I suggest first however that it would be best to ensure that your Ubuntu has whatever sound system you want to use, then make sure fldigi matches that. Current Linux OS's are generally migrating towards pipewire.

Re: Fldigi long pauses between mode changes

 

I ran Fldigi from the terminal and noticed this happening when I changed modes.? ?Funny thing is it only happened after I keyed up once to tune.? Prior to tuning it wouldn't freeze.??

Re: Video issues with fldigi 4.2.05

 

I just did the same thing (switching from XFCE to MATE) and no problems now with the video issue.

Fldigi long pauses between mode changes

 

Hello everyone,
?
I am running FLdigi on a Ubuntu 22.04, on a Thinkpad L13 Yoga.? The latest versions of FLDigi (4.2.05)? I have been having an issue where there are long pauses during mode changes either manually or done by TXID.??
?
Anyone else experiencing this or have any idea how I can over come this issue???
?
Normally I wouldn't care but during nets I am missing my call, some text, or part of file transmissions from FLAMP or FLMSG.??
?
It seems like a new thing for me.? Any advice would be appreciated.
?
Thanks
