Re: Updating the FLdigi build wiki
Hi Greg,
I'm also on Ubuntu 24.04 and use the WIKI build instructions. I have
noticed the confusion on some of the steps. My Fldigi sometimes
locks up and Top reports the Fldigi CPU utilization is over 100%.
I'm not sure if I'm having trouble with the instructions.
I think checking Source code in Software and updates will do the
same thing as editing the sources.list. I have all 5 items checked
sudo aptitude build-dep fldigi doesn't work so I skipped this and
did the apt-get steps.
When I did the configure and make steps I think some messages came
up about pulse audio and pipe wire. I think the new Ubuntu wants to
use Pipe Wire. One question is should I configure Fldigi to use Pipe
Wire and not Pulse Audio. Also, do I still have to use Pulse Audio
Control to adjust the audio levels.
This is the message I get when I install pavucontrol:
$ sudo aptitude install pavucontrol
The following NEW packages will be installed:
? libasound2-plugins{a} libatkmm-1.6-1v5{a} libcairomm-1.0-1v5{a}
libglibmm-2.4-1t64{a} libgtkmm-3.0-1t64{a} libpangomm-1.4-1v5{a}
pavucontrol pulseaudio{a} pulseaudio-utils{a}
0 packages upgraded, 9 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not
upgraded.
Need to get 2,995 kB of archives. After unpacking 15.0 MB will be
used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
?pipewire-audio : Conflicts: pulseaudio but 1:16.1+dfsg1-2ubuntu10
is to be installed
????????????????? Conflicts: pulseaudio:i386 but it is not going to
be installed
?pipewire-alsa : Conflicts: pulseaudio but 1:16.1+dfsg1-2ubuntu10 is
to be installed
???????????????? Conflicts: pulseaudio:i386 but it is not going to
be installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
???? Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)???? pulseaudio [Not Installed]??????????????????????? ?
???? Leave the following dependencies unresolved:??????? ?
2)???? pavucontrol recommends pulseaudio???????????????? ?
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
I answered Y to accept.

Hi Greg,
?
I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04 this morning. I'm not sure where the sources file was moved off to, but you can enable the 'Source code' repository via the Software & Updates application. After you do that, you should be able to continue with the build instructions from the wiki.
?
Attached is a list of what was installed when I did 'apt build-dep fldigi'. I think libxft-dev was still missing from there though, and had to be installed separately?

great, it's good to see that more and more loggers are available on Linux! :) My question if there was an interface I can connect to from my log program?

Dear all, especially David,
I'm working on a log program dedicated to SOTA activations.
This uses the GTK-4 toolkit, and I'm in the middle of adding fancy features like
- Reading the position from GPSd
- Getting the nearest SOTA summit reference
- Getting the QRG from the rig using Hamlib
Things are started to work, but I now want to get data from Fldigi. The data I request are the following:
- Callsign
- QRG
- RST
- Op. Name
My question if there was an interface I can connect to from my log program? If so, are there any examples out there how to do that?
Thanks and 73 de HA5OGL

Re: FLDIGI and sequoia. linux
Hi John, a notarized version of Fldigi that can be easily installed on MacOS 15 Sequoia is here:
|
Download the zip file, double clink on it and the app will appear. Drag the app to your Applications folder. Double click on it. You will get a pop up asking if you want to download an app from the internet. Click on yes and the Fldigi app should open.
Alternatively, you can open unnotarized apps by going to the Dock (app bar on the bottom of your screen) and open the System Settings app. Scroll down to Privacy & Security, Then scroll down to security. If you have already attempted to open an unnotarized app, you can there tell the Mac to open it anyway. You’ll to give it your fingerprint and answer if you are sure a couple of times but then the app should open.
Hope this helps.

I ran into the Broadcom driver's problem when installing Ubuntu on an iMac.? ?Not sure about RHEL, but there was an install option in Ubuntu that said something like install optional drivers.? Without checking that box, I had no wifi drivers when Ubuntu booted.? If you can find that choice on RHEL, the drivers are available but have to be enabled. Otherwise, you can do what I did the first time and sneakernet your Mac over to your cable modem, which wasn't very convenient.

Thanks Richard,
During a net I usually open Fldigi then I open Flmsg to create
traffic for the net. I don't use the list feature and don't have
transfer direct checked.
I usually leave the Flmsg's that I receive open so I can read them
during the net. I also have Flamp open. I forget exactly which
version the lockups
started to happen.
The two Pennsylvania nets on Sunday gets pretty busy. Also, the FM
net on the local repeater gets busy so Fldigi gets quite a workout.
When I run the top program after the lockup it shows Fldigi running
at more than 100% and stays that way until I reboot.

Thanks Bob, that gives me a few things to look at. I also started flrig from a shell prompt, as you suggested. Now I'll just have to wait. :D

There's nothing in cron.d or cron.daily that looks potentially harmful, but I'll have to investigate them a bit more to be sure.
I had some strange flrig problems when the WiFi/cell modem kept resetting, I am assuming from the "interface up/down" scripts. That could have been proven by turning off the external network connection for a while.
You know, that reminds me of something in the past about ModemManager mucking with the serial ports. A couple of years ago, while hunting down a different problem on a different system, I did turn it off at one point but I don't remember if it helped or not. I'll have to look into that some more.

Re: fldigi 4.2.06.15 developmen t version availabe for testing
Hi.
Thanks for the new alpha to test.
Built without errors on LMDE 6 (Faye) on an i5 based platform.
Sadly, the AFC button is still permanently greyed out and
unusable.? While the AFC function itself is also permanently
active in many if not all of the MFSK derived modes.? (As can be
seen by the feint green colour in the button's "LED" indicator.)
This was not the case with 4.2.06 (release version) or the
4.2.06.07 alpha.? But from 4.2.06.09 and later, it is a problem.
I never saw '.08 to test.
Also, the RV button, still often needs toggling (slow double
click) after the program is first launched, so that the indicator
agrees with the state of the RV function, or the software is
set/synchronised to follow the indicated state.? I know others in
the UK have seen this particular wrinkle, especially some who
partake in the RAYNET HF nets, using recent builds of Fldigi.
David M0TGC has confirmed this with version 4.2.05 too.? It has
caused utter confusion at times on the low bands attempting to get
multiple stations to communicate using Olivia, several who do not
use CAT control, either out of preference, or their radios do not
support it.

Hi Steve
A way out possibility..
At 30-60 minutes it may be another process (like from cron) doing
"something" that affects. Might be worth a look at syslog or
journal display when it next freezes. Also cat your
$HOME/.xsession-errors or just run flrig in a console window.
I had some strange flrig problems when the WiFi/cell modem kept
resetting, I am assuming from the "interface up/down" scripts.
That could have been proven by turning off the external network
connection for a while.

Hi Ron,

What are you using for PTT/CAT control?
?
I have also been having problems recently running Flrig +
Fldigi (and also JS8Call) on Linux Mint 22. Sorry I don't have
any answers for you, just wanted to add a "me too".
?
- Linux Mint 22 (kernel 6.8.0-50-generic)
- Flrig 2.0.05.85 and Fldigi 4.2.04.16 compiled per the
sourceforge wiki linked from w1hkj.com
- JS8Call v2.2.1-devel installed via apt from the Linux Mint
repository
- FTDI USB-to-serial interface, Sabrent USB-audio interface
?
I haven't quite figured out the pattern yet, but it seems
that after about 30 to 60 minutes of not transmitting that Flrig
will not respond then next time I try to transmit. This has
happened when using Fldigi and JS8Call. I don't remember Fldigi
locking up, I will have to do some more observing to see.
?
I wonder if anyone can point us in the direction of a logfile
or something to look at when this happens?
?
