Adrian,
I use the WIKI install directions:
I've never had a problem with it unless there's something different with the new version of Linux Mint 22.1 with the new Pipewire update.

You may have been using an incompatible deb install.
Fldigi and Daves other software is quite easy to compile in Linux. You may need to install build-essentials etc, to
setup a build environment, but it is well worth it.
Try a compiled install instead, the existing will need to be purge removed.
Happy to help via TV if you need it.

Yep, so the multiple entries of Fldigi must be different functions
of Fldigi that's running and not just multi instances.
So when I first start my Fldigi the CPU is around 21.1% and yours is
8.2. I haven't tracked mine for any length of time but when it locks
up it's 100% and I have seen it go way over 100%.
So now I have to figure out why it does that. I hate to mention it
but it runs fine on Windows 11 but I do want to use Linux :-(

Sorry, Yes I should have shown htop
It seems to show subcomponents or seperate core usage.

Thanks Adrian,
Maybe I'm getting TOP and HTOP mixed up. Your right I only see 1
instance of Fldigi with top but HTOP shows multiple instances.
I thought HTOP was the newer better version but maybe I'm not
reading the results correctly and I should only use TOP to check
the program's resources.

That's interesting about the "nice" factor and how to change it.
According to HTOP it looks like NI was at 0. Do you recommend
another setting?
Also, the thing about multiple fldigi showing up in HTOP. Is
that just showing various functions that's running within
Fldigi. At first it looks like it's starting Fldigi multiple
times but I can't think of a way that's happening.

Full power on other modes, basically anything that uses the mic.?
I think Dave was on to something about not getting RF on CW but I changed the KEYER setting to ON on the M-LIST and then got full 100W output using the mic PTT as a keyer.

1. open the bandwidth?on the transceiver.? Narrow BW is good for your ears, not necessarily good for machine decode. 2. lower the digital squelch (right most control next to waterfall).

just in order to be sure to understand: when you say "Chromebook running Debian" you mean a Chromebook where ChromeOS was wiped out and Debian installed as a single boot OS? Are there any way to install Debian (or another distro) without cleaning the machine before?

Re: MacOS 15.3.1 USB and flrig
Have you tried? removing the hub from the COM port electrical path?? Is the hub an Apple or a 3rd party device???
David
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.

Open a terminal and type:

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.?
