Re: Next version FLdigi
Good day David.
?
I've already tried to set it up several times before the test . But it doesn't work quickly, you have to abandon the setup and work in a bundle of "H1MM+ FLdigi". What should be specified in the "Text capture order" field? Is the "Exch In" checkbox needed?

Is it possible to expect our "Russian WW PSK Contest" along with macrosin the list of contests in the next versions? TNX.

MacOS 15.3.1 USB and flrig
I recently tried to run flrig 2.0.05 and it tells me the COM port is not responding. I then go into config and select /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART4. After Pressing init it hangs and a forced quit is needed. I think it all started after upgrading to macOS 15.3.1.
?
Was the serial driver replaced? I think something was changed in the USB drivers because upon boot my computer does not recognize my keyboard if it is connected to my USB hub. I need to connect direct to USB to be recognized. If the system is already running, using the hub/keyboard combo is not a problem.
?
If I use a Windows 10 VM, I have no issues.
?
Any ideas?

Re: Running Linux on a Chromebook
If you can open and run FLDIGI, but you can't select sound cards or transmit, you may need to add your username to the dialout group.?
?
Open a terminal and type:
?
sudo adduser fkatalenas dialout
?
Reboot or log out and log back in, and then you should be able to use FLDIGI. I just helped some guys get their Chromebooks running Debian to work with fldigi and js8call this way.?

Re: Where to send user modified/tested/debugged sources?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýGit may be OK for experienced users, but is very dangerous for
those of us who have not grown up with it and/or do not use it
extensively every waking hour. I for one managed to wipe out someone else¡¯s project by accidentally pushing something to the wrong place, because there was no guidance as to what where and how, or how to prevent such errors.? (Poor instructions + "finger trouble" on my part = disaster!) And you don't get a "Are you sure" check, or any warning you're
about to overwrite other stuff. Thankfully, the main author had hourly backups "kept out of sight" for that very reason.? I was not the first it seems to cause that to happen! I do have my own git/github/gitlab instances.? But I have never
understood it/them, even after many hours of reading and
experimentation with it.?? I've not come across any beginners
tutorial either that makes sense.?? (I've also not found a
reliable way to remove such instances from the cloud.) Juila Evans's (@BORK) "comics" are better, but it's still
confusing and difficult to follow. Each version seems to do things differently each time (even locally hosted) often seemingly not updating a group of files, but saying it has, and storing the new/updated stuff somewhere else on the tree, without warning.? That, and not reporting where it put it! OK lots of people use it (them.)? But I for one do not understand
the way it works, I don't "think" that way.? (I'm obviously
running an 8 bit grey cell OS here!) Sad to say, but it needs a cross platform "front end" that is consistent and full of procedural error traps for us meer mortals who only wish to use it "part time" on an add-hoc basis.? But that would open yet another can of wriggly things too. Yes, I can download a project, follow the build instructions and get success that way (GQRX, WSJTX, QSSTV, Hamlib and so on) but don't ask or expect me to push any changes back up the greasy pole, should I find a need and alter anything. Believe me, I do wish I could understand how that all works. 73. Dave 'WBX. PS:? Temporary web server for local network use? Take a look at:-? and:? (linked from the above)?
Many choices of "one liners".?? I've used the basic Python type

Re: Running Linux on a Chromebook
Jindra,
?
thanks a lot.? Your detailed approach is a try I will apply to, as soon as I can plan (I think a full day of work :-)).?? Crostini is the "internal" linux embedded in ChromeOS, installing it is just a couple of click and does not impact on the standard OS.?? Unfortunately it is not a full linux machine and cannot be used with HAM software...
?
The idea to have a full linux, keyboarded, tablet is great, will take the risk of bricking the unit.?? Also if Lenovo duet is a cheap unit, probably a light linux install will give it a second life

Re: Linux Mint works on one user account but crashes on another on Linux Mint 22.1
Fixed it!? When I setup WFVIEW,? it specified using QT audio (default) and the default settings in their manual . Sine Fldigi does Port Audio, I set WFVIEW to Pot Audio and played with the settings until I heard good audio in the monitor on Fldigi.?? Since I have? a USB headset, I set it to be the monitor? and all is good ? On Fldigi my settings are: Port Audio WFVIEW settings: Sample rate: 16000 Just another Linux oddity .....

Re: Running Linux on a Chromebook
Roberto, I don't know what is Crostini, but I think I had a similar problem with that Dell 3180. When I unlocked developer mode I was unable to complete the procedure described at site mrchromebox.tech. Basically any second network request ended with DNS error. Also, as in your case, USB ports were locked. Probably there was some kind of additional security policy somehow activated in the system. What I did:? 1. I moved all scripts needed to complete the reflashing task on a PC in my LAN. On that PC I started a simple web server. In my case it was nginx (the easiest to install and set up) but I think you could use anything, even "Simple HTTP server" plugin in VS Code IDE. 2. Then I carefully analyzed the scripts and replaced any HTTP download (curl ... ) by a local URL, i.e. URL based on the address of my PC running? HTTP server. 3. During the analysis I found reference to one or two other files that the script would further download from the internet (one of them was the new ROM content) and also fixed all URLs to match their new location in LAN. Then, on the chromebook, I used the instruction from mrchromebox.tech except that I downloaded the initial script from the HTTP server in LAN. Then everything worked as it should - obviously download from local network was not blocked, luckily. In other words, I wiped out ChromeOS from the chromebook completely and installed a new BIOS and Linux (only). I hope I understand your probem correctly. In general I saw some instruction videos how to install Linux on Chromebooks that coexists with th installed ChromeOS but I think such scenario on a computer with so limited resources is a dead end. 73 Jindra? ?t 13. 2. 2025 v?17:35 odes¨ªlatel Roberto Ranzani, I2RWR via <roberto.ranzani=[email protected]> napsal:

Re: Linux Mint works on one user account but crashes on another on Linux Mint 22.1
By profile,? I? mean the 2nd user account.? Nothing was copied between accounts. I did get audio eventually after a reboot and the original problem disappeared.. Now I am left with a motorboating sound in the received audio.? I am not listening to the audio from WFVIEW as it is being passed to Fldigi. In the Configuration under sound card,? I have auto set for a baud rate and 10,1 and 11,1 for the port audio. I am trying to listen to audio via Fldigi so I have the box checked and default in it. On the View tab in the main window, RX audio is checked. There's audio with a motorboating sound in it. Maybe I have to install it for each account? Haven't tried that. Maybe? Pipewire is doing something.? As far as Pipewire goes, Fldigi shows up as an Alsa device when I? look at applications in Sound.? Might be a feedback loop or I miss applied something. When? I? set up the second Fldigi and WFVIEW,? both of the configurations started from scratch.? There was no carryover from the first user account.

Re: VARA.exe in Linux on a Chromebook (4GB RAM, 16GB eMMC)
Hi, Bob, I missed your answer and found it only now. What you propose is an interesting idea. So far I had the impression that wine32 requires wine (64-bit base) to be installed. I will ask someone at winehq or in a related forum. OTOH wine32?+ win32 architecture install libraries 64-bit version of which seem to be present anyway in the system (current Debian is 64-bit only IIRC). I think I need to be looking for 32-bit (i386) Linux, but I am afraid that has been long unavailable. 73 Jindra p¨¢ 7. 2. 2025 v?8:32 odes¨ªlatel Bob Cameron, VK2YQA via <bob3bob3=[email protected]> napsal:

Re: Linux Mint works on one user account but crashes on another on Linux Mint 22.1
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi John Just some thinking out loud. I can't speak for wfview. My first thought was that if the .fldigi profile/directory was simply copied, then there are some hard references in the config files that will point to the other user's structure. eg fldigi.prefs has a reference to the macro file and fldigi_def.xml has various file locations that may need editing. If copied as root the r/w permissions also may need to be updated. You did however say "created the profile twice", (which profile?) so are there any group memberships setup for the first account that are not in the 2nd? The one that comes to mind is the dialout group, but depending on your environment may also include "audio". I am assuming that you are not running the user programs
concurrently, nor have any user specific program or library
installs. Cheers Bob VK2YQA On 13/2/25 09:38, John Kosobucki, N0QJA

Re: Linux Mint works on one user account but crashes on another on Linux Mint 22.1
One suggestion to troubleshoot this crash would be to use the 'strace' command on fldigi. This will help pinpoint where the failure is occurring. If you're launching fldigi from the terminal, you could use a command like this: ``` strace -ff -tt -o strace fldigi 1>stdout 2>stderr ``` It's best to run this in a fresh directory, as it will create a 'strace.<pid>' file for each process forked by fldigi. It will also collect the stdout and stderr output from fldigi. If you could share the generated strace files, they might provide clues about the cause of the issue. 73, Neil N1HAN On Wed, Feb 12, 2025 at 5:38?PM John Kosobucki, N0QJA via <kosobucki.john=[email protected]> wrote:

I have created the profile twice.?

The first profile has Fldigi on it as well as WFVIEW.? I was setting them up to use with another radio.? The first one works fine.?

WFVIEW works fine on the second account as do other programs that are installed.?

If i start Fldigi from the desktop, the menu, or in the terminal ot crashes with a segment fault. This happens with or without WFVIEW running as I? am doing a virtual audio cable between the two.?

Re: Running Linux on a Chromebook
Hi, Roberto,
software packages from repositories are usually quite out of date. If you need to support CAT of newer or less popular model of trx, often it helps to build the software from source.
