fldigi stopped working on Raspberry Pi
I been using fldigi for years on my Raspberry Pi station computer. It worked fine until a few months ago. Since I was having a great time on SSB DX I let it go, but I would like to be able to use it again.
Symptoms:
- The rig interface doesn't work, it will not cause the frequency to change, and it does not follow? the frequency on the transceiver.
- fldigi does not interface with flrig. I tried that as an alternative and nothing. flrig controls the rig fine but fldigi does not "see" flrig.
- There is no waterfall. It appears the audio is not getting to fldigi.
As a comparison, I ran JS8Call and QSSTV (I've forgotten it's real name) and they both decode correctly. JS8Call controls the rig.
?
fldigi is 4.1.20
flrig is 1.4.4
PiOS is Buster
Pi is a 400
I have attached screenshots of the rig and audio configurations.
?
I have run out of ideas on how to diagnose this. Suggestions please.

Flirig stopped working with my FT991A after installing the latest fldigi software
I run FLDIGI,?WSJTX,?and FLRIG?on a Windows?10 Pro Intel NUC. A couple of days ago, I downloaded the latest FLDIGI program, and after attempting to run it, my FLRIG software stopped recognizing the FT991A transceiver. ?I had previously used FLRIG with the FT991A by selecting?the FT991 rig instead of the FT991A, which never worked. I have reinstalled?all the pertinent drivers, and I can now run WSJTX?successfully by choosing the FT991 transceiver directly.??
Has anyone else encountered this issue before, and has there been any successful solutions?? I own numerous transceivers, and while FLRIG has had problems with several of these units, I've always managed?to get the software working.? I'm looking forward to hearing back from you.

Welcome to the group!

We also have mac users here too, you'll see mac related threads from time to time too.
?
I'm fine with Windows too :-) Have a Windows 7 laptop to run a few Windows only ham applications (antenna modeling related).
?
On the Linux side, most recent project was running Linux mobile for (text linked to more info about it) Seattle to Fairbanks - if that it at all interesting.

Have any of you tried running
the offending code from within the gnu debugger?? reference:

Which version of fltk is

My guess is a Pipewire incompatibility as mentioned.? Will
be checking out the potential flmsg connection.

Make sure Soundcard/Devices (Configuration menu) is set to PortAudio and Capture/Playback set correctly. If you're using a radio like the IC-7300, with built-in 'soundcard' then select USB Audio CODEC for both. Radio must be connected (USB) and powered when launching FLDigi or it'll look for something else, like system microphone/speaker. Good luck! -- Charles

Hello,
I purchased a new MacMiniv M4. Now I am having the issue on my Mac when starting fldigi that I am always bothered by a pop-up message asking for Microphone access.
How to overcome it? In the SystemsSetting I granted already Microphone access to fldigi without success.
?
On this net I was reading about:
?
codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/
?
Event this is not revolving the matter. Any help is welcome.

This evening I was actually looking at the display when it happened. I had entered a command, and it timed out dues to open squelch, reported that in the receive pan then immediately aborted.
Anything I can look for to help troubleshot this issue?

OK, thanks, Dave.? I'll tinker some more with this and see if I can figure out what I did wrong.

No change with alpha.? In response to your first reply, I
don't think I confused flrig with fldigi.? Section 3.1.4 of the
flrig manual talks about the PTT-GPIO option,
, and shows the
menu that I believe I used in the 1.3-ish version.
?
I'm not clear about how flrig is supposed to be aware of the
gpio command in the WiringPi package.? I can run gpio as a
command and the gpio pins obey.? For flrig, do I need to start a
daemon process, or compile flrig with the WiringPi library, or
does flrig just fail if I ask it to set a pin and gpio isn't
present in the system?
?
Thanks much for your help,

Re: FLDIGI and sequoia. linux
Hi John, David now has the ability to sign and notarize Mac apps. The latest I’ve downloaded is:
Just download, click on the .dmg file and the app will appear. Drag the app to your Applications folder. Double click on the app and you’ll get this:
Click on open and you should be good to go!
