Thank you for the quick reply.
I verified librxtx-java was installed. Went through the expert mode configuration. Could not see anything wrong with it. Verified call sign passcode.
Just for the fun of it I logged out and back in as root. Started YAAC and it ran the configuration. After configuration YAAC runs flawlessly. If I log out as root and back in as a user, it will not function again. The configuration appears to be identical. Logging back in as root and it functions well. It’s got me bewildered. All I can think of is maybe a corrupt configuration file. Not sure where to go from here.
Thank you for the assistance

?That's odd. You should have been getting that error all along unless you did some upgrade to Raspbian that uninstalled the librxtx-java package (the library that implements hardware serial port access for YAAC). Ensure it is installed by issuing the following command at a LXTerminal prompt:
sudo apt-get install librxtx-java
As for no longer showing up on aprs.fi, since you reconfigured your system, my guess is that you either:
1. disabled the beacon from being transmitted;
2. changed the definition of your APRS-IS port to Transmit Disabled; or
3. didn't enter your APRS-IS server passcode correctly so the backbone server won't accept your transmitted traffic.
So, _don't_ use the configuration wizard. Instead, use File->Configure->Expert Mode, and check that the Beacon tab shows your beacon is enabled, and the Ports tab, when you click on your APRS-IS port in the table and click the Edit button, shows that the port is Transmit Enabled and make sure you have the correct passcode entered.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [yaac-users] RXTX native library not found
Good afternoon Andrew,
Not sure where to begin here. First of all I am very new to Linux so everything I do with it has to be looked up from commands to syntax.
I am using a raspberry Pi 4b with raspbian buster. I had YAAC running flawlessly for about 2 weeks in a APRS-IS fashion. Will be adding digi and Igate in the very near future through direwolf. The problem is it worked fine till I installed the last version of YAAC 20200110. When YAAC was restarted, I got the error RXTX native library not found. After clicking OK I was taken to the configuration wizard. I reconfigured and now all I get is receive packets. My node no longer shows up on APRS.fi and can no longer send messages. The error message no longer shows up on a restart however can not TX.
I followed the help file for install Librxtx-java
But got a file not found error.
Thank you for any assistance in advance,
Alan N2ZVN
