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.

Rick,
?
This is outstanding!? Have you posted your progress on the Google Groups site or gotten hold of? Mooneer K6AQ?? (he's one of the main developers now for the FreeDV interface)
?
?
I'm currently using Leap 15.6 on my main desktop but I am thinking about switching to TW
?
I had TW on my (MID 2012 Core-i7)? MacBook Pro but it would run for a few weeks then an update would either break the wifi driver or kernel driver and the wifi would just quit working.??
?
Last time Network Manager broke after one of the daily updates.? (Maybe I should disable updates and only allow them only once every few months or so!!)
?
I really liked SuSE on the MAC Book? because even though the Mid 2012 Macbook is pretty old, TW booted up/shut down and ran VERY fast .......far faster than Catalina or any MAC OS I have ever used!!
?
And yes I would like to learn more about building on TW! (Or any Linux for that matter!)

I did post on the Discord, but can't remember if I posted on the Google Group. I am a member though.

Tumbleweed has been super stable for me here. It's definitely a move up from Leap. They're discontinuing Leap they say, supposedly going with something called SlowRoll. But I prefer the actual Tumbleweed.

I don't know about that wireless chiopset driver but did you file a bug? I have ever needed to only do that a couple of times (one was a vendor error not TW in what they supplied to Suse) but they react fast.

I think you'd enjoy TW and KDE (Plasma 6 and Wayland now) and Pipewire a lot. KDE looks stunning when tweaked right.

Another reason I switched on the MAC Book was compatibility with Proton Mail.
?
They simply do not support SuSE?? and I wanted to use their mail app that runs natively on Ubuntu and RedHat.
?
And it seems to be hanging on a font dependency which seems really stupid that would cause a problem.....

?
It may get fixed in the future but as of late they're not supporting Proton Mail (APP or the Proton Mail Bridge)
?
I can of course just use the webmail via any browser. And it works well as does the Calendar, Proton Drive etc
?
?
But I really wanted to use the Bridge with Thunderbird.?
?
?
I know they're sun-setting Leap for something else.? That will likely just send me back to TW.??
?
I have always like KDE (starting in 1998!) I would run it on the MAC if I could.? I never really like the MAC desktop!? It's so limited!!
?
I know I can make KDE "look" like a MAC. (who in their right mind would do that!!!)

I know they said Leap 15.5 or 6 was going to be the last but now I see a Leap 16.0 pre-alpha release...
?
Wonder if they changed their minds?

I just took a look into this and that's kind of a non-issue.

The Tumbleweed package dejavu-fonts contains the dejavu sans fonts and also the rest of the dejavu fonts. In Fedora it looks like this is split up. So if you have the dejavu-fonts package installed it is safe to install the proton-bridge and ignore the one dep that it thinks it can't satisfy.

Alternatively you could grab the Fedora srpm and edit the spec file to reflect the Tumbleweed dependency and then rebuild the rpm.

But in the end, zero difference to the OS or how it'll work when installed.

Hope that helps.
