Perfect description. It's worth thinking about adding some kind of good-practice page to the Wiki. Can I use your text?

Hi

?

I’ll preface this post with: I’m a Linux Newbie, there may be better ways to do what I will describe below. Do your research and use caution.

?

If you are like me and have recently moved to Linux, or are transitioning away from MS Windows, you would have noticed there are some differences with regards to USB ports. You can no longer use “COM#” as an entry. It won't work.?

?

You can use “ttyUSB#”, but as Ladislav mentioned in this post /g/qlog/message/428 “It's not a very good practice to use ttyUSB# devices. These device files can change during disconnection or reboot."

?

I have found a couple of ways to determine the correct "Device ID" and "Path" to use: The Terminal Shell method (Alias: console, or command prompt) or the Graphical method.

?

Note: Both methods described below relate to Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon. It may, or may not, be the same for your flavor of Linux, but should give you a clue on where to look.

?

Terminal Shell:

?

For the purists and those wanting to learn a little about the Terminal Shell.

?

Add Yourself To The "dialout" Group

?

1. Open "Terminal" from the menu… right click the Linux logo in the bottom left corner and type "Terminal" in the search bar and click the "Terminal".

2. Type:
   
   • groups <your username>
   • <inline.0.part>
3. If you do not see "dialout" listed type the following:
   • sudo adduser <your username> dialout
   • Enter your Administrator Password and hit enter.
4. Reboot the computer for changes to take effect

Find the Device ID

?

1. Open a Terminal Shell and enter "ls /dev/serial/by-id" (Without quotes)
2. This will return something like the following:
   • <inline.1.part>
3. In this example “usb-FTDI...” is my rotator controller and the “USB-Silicone_Labs...” is my Icom IC-7300.
4. In your terminal, select/ highlight the Device ID you want to use, right click and select copy
5. Append the Device ID to the file path: “/dev/serial/by-id/”.
   • Like: “/dev/serial/by-id/” PLUS “耻蝉产-厂颈濒颈肠辞苍冲尝补产蝉冲颁笔2102冲鲍厂叠冲迟辞冲鲍础搁罢冲叠谤颈诲驳别冲颁辞苍迟谤辞濒濒别谤冲滨颁-7300冲02027024-颈蹿00-辫辞谤迟0”

6. You final path will look something like this:

   • “/诲别惫/蝉别谤颈补濒/产测-颈诲/耻蝉产-厂颈濒颈肠辞苍冲尝补产蝉冲颁笔2102冲鲍厂叠冲迟辞冲鲍础搁罢冲叠谤颈诲驳别冲颁辞苍迟谤辞濒濒别谤冲滨颁-7300冲02027024-颈蹿00-辫辞谤迟0”
     

   • NOTE: The Device ID “numbering” will be different for your situation. You must use the exact same Device ID as listed in you terminal screen.
7. Paste the file name into the Port section under Rigs (or as appropriate) in your setup screen in QLOG.
   • <inline.2.part>

8. Click “Modify” and “Save”

9. In the Menu bar click "Equipment" and then "Connect"
10. If all is correct your device should connect and keep the same path between reboots.

Graphical Method:

?

Add Yourself To The "dialout" Group

?

1. Open "Users and Groups" from the menu… right click the Linux logo in the bottom left corner and type "Users and Groups" in the search bar and click the "Users and Groups".
2. Enter your Administrator Password and hit enter
3. Select the user to update
   • <inline.3.part>
4. If you do not see "dialout" listed under the "Groups" section, left click on the red highlighted area to open the "Groups" section
5. Put a tick in the box for "dialout" and click OK
   • <inline.4.part>
6. Click 'X" to close and then reboot the computer for changes to take effect

Find the Device ID

?

This method may be more intuitive than the Terminal Shell method mentioned above if you are coming from MS Windows. I'd encourage you to try the Terminal Shell method as it can be quicker and easier.

?

1. Open your favorite "Files Explorer" from the menu… right click the Linux logo in the bottom left corner and type "Files" in the search bar and click the "Files Explorer".
   

2. Make sure you are in the root directory. Type “/” in the search bar at the top
   • NOTE: You can mess things up while in the root directory if you change or delete things. Use caution.
   • <inline.5.part>
3. Right click on the device you need and select properties.
4. At the top under name hover over the “Name” of the file and right click to select all.
   • <inline.6.part>

5. Right click over the name again and select copy

6. From here, refer to point 5 in the "Terminal Shell Method" under "Find the Device ID" above

Others more knowledgeable than me may chime in with alternatives or corrections which are welcome.

Hope this helps another Newbie

Did you try to run QLog with description in /g/qlog/message/16 ?

The time on the Task Bar has its own setting than the time of Linux itself. Therefore, it is necessary to use the LC_TIME variable to control time format in QLog.

control many settings in QLog (number format, time format, date format, sorting, GUI language etc.). There are a lot of things that would have to be set manually, and that's why QLog uses it to help the operator's work with settings.

Hi

?

I see a similar question may have been asked in this post /g/qlog/message/16

?

BUT... I'm struggling to get QLOG to show the time in 24 hour format. I do not want to see AM/PM. I'm not worried about the date, just time.

?

How can I do this... My task bar shows 24 hour time format but QLOG does not. Screen grab below.

?

I'm using Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon. What am I doing wrong?

?

(Yes, I'm new to Linux)

Hello all! What a great logger this is! If I'm ever asked how I set it up, I will have to answer "accidentally". It was almost that easy. I use it under Linux Mint 21.1 with an IC-7300, WF View, WSJT-X and JS8 Call. My only cares in the world tonight are a mild backache, a somewhat underperforming vertical antenna, and I can't seem to find JS8 in the mode pulldown menu.

I can't advise you for FLDigi or CQRLog, but I use this for IC7300 and Qlog.

Everything worked. so not sure if it works even after upgrading to ubuntu 24.04. I didn't test it.

Let me add a couple of notes.

- It's not a very good practice to use ttyUSB# devices. These device files can change during disconnection or reboot. I know that it is described in almost all manuals but if you're not sure what you're doing, it's better to use the Device ID file. For ICOM, the port is: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_IC-7300_03018006-if00-port0

- You have to have a write permission to your Device ID file. So you must be in the appropriate group as a user.

- You didn't mention what kind of problem you actually have. An error report or some description of the behavior is a good starting point to someone being able to help you.

Regards

Ladislav

I hope it is OK for me to latch onto this thread. I am also having trouble getting Qlog to connect to my IC-7300 or my IC-9700. I recently installed Mint22 in dual-boot mode on my computer. I installed Qlog, but cannot get it to connect to either radio. I also have FLRig and CQRLog installed, and neither of them communicate with the rigs. I know I must be doing something stupid, but I don't know what it is. Probably not a member of the correct group or something. I have tried every /dev/ttyUSB# that I have. I know my radio is set for 115200 baud. I just can't figure it out. I am pretty much a linux neophyte, but I have had rig control working under other versions of Ubuntu.
