I tried to minimize the YAAC window on my Pi 400 and realized the doo-hickies for minimize, restore and close normally at the top right of window dialog boxes were missing.

It appears I can use the context menu on the task bar to do those things, but I thought it odd nonetheless.

Debian bookworm (12)
OpenJDK 17.0.10
YAAC 1.0-beta196

Any ideas?

The default beacon is per-profile, so if you change profiles, you will get a different default beacon.

Andrew,

Yes the profile is specified using the -profile command and it has been working fine. Is the default beacon unique to a specific profile's configuration, or if I change the default beacon will it also affect the default beacon in other profiles?

Were you using the -profile command-line option to specify different configuration profiles? If so, you have to specify the option every time you want to use a non-default profile, otherwise YAAC will use the unnamed default profile.

Also, within a profile, you will always have the default beacon, and it appears first in the list of beacons defined for a profile. Click on the drop-down of beacon names, and you will see any other named beacons you have saved in that profile.

Hope this helps.

I have a Home and Mobile profile with different settings on my portable TNCPi with display unit. For my mobile profile I created a Mobile beacon configuration which I saved. I was hoping that when I re-opend the Mobile profile the Beacon would be set to Mobile but it is back to default. Is there a way to keep a specific beacon configuration associated with a profile so that I don't have to go in and select it? 1.0-beta 196

I'm not sure what YAAC build KM4ACK is presently providing with his ham radio software bundle; I'm assuming he gets it from one of my official sources, but I haven't confirmed this.

73Linux grabs the YAAC file from ka2ddo.org during the build process so it should be the latest version.

Andrew,

Yes the root directory was the default that came up when I originally installed and I suppose I should have changed it but it is what it is.? I

# chown -R pi:pi /yaac was what I tried before but I may have had the syntax wrong. At any rate I did it again and it worked.

Software updated and maps showed up.

Thanks for your help and patience for those of us that are linux challenged :-).

It sounds like you originally installed YAAC as root, so now your non-privileged user account doesn't have the privilege to overwrite it.

Whatever directory you have the YAAC.jar file in, you need to recursively change the ownership of the directory and all files and subdirectories in it to the account that will run YAAC ("pi", for example, instead of "root"). Note you will have to be the root user to change the ownership of files to another owner.

For example,

# chown -R pi:pi /home/pi/YAAC

Never run YAAC as root. It doesn't need the unlimited rights of the root user, just membership in a few system groups to access the necessary devices.

Andrew,

The tile directory is still intact.

When I check for new software in the YAAC application it tells me I don't have file permissions to write the files and then tells me my software is up to date.

I have tried multiple methods to change file permissions in my /yaac directory, and they appear to run and change permissions but the check for new software still says that I don't have file permissions. Do I just have to download the zip file and reinstall as if it is a new install?

I sometimes go for some without checking for updates as there are multiple demands and projects in this ham radio hobby and I am not a linux power user so my software is not always up to date.

Uh, _which_ latest version of Java? There are only 14 of them this week from Oracle alone (from Java 8 to Java 21), let alone from the other platform providers, and they won't be latest next week. Please provide the _exact_ version and build string of the Java version you are using. Remember, I can't see your screen to get that information.

Also, try starting YAAC from a command prompt window, so you can see the error messages and post them to this list. The command line for invoking YAAC in the YAAC installation directory is

java -jar YAAC.jar

Do not start YAAC with the YAACMain.jar file; that file requires the bootstrapping logic in YAAC.jar to set it up correctly.

Let me know what you find out.

Andrew, KA2DDO

Subject: [yaac-users] Unable to load yaac on win11 pro

Hi all, new to the group.

The subject says it all.

New machine, 16 Gb of RAM. Latest version of Java running. Doing this over Remote Desktop.

When I click on YAACMain.jar or YAAC.jar, all I get is a small blue balloon that opens then closes. This happens on a win10 Pro machine as well.

Summers fly by,
winters always walk.

That's very strange, because I posted build#196 (6 builds later than yours) on February 17th this year. I can confirm that build#191 did make a non-compatible change in the map tile file format, so the map tiles presently available can only be downloaded with build#191 or later. Try upgrading YAAC with the Help->Check for Updates menu choice, and see what happens.

The fact that your software claims it is up-to-date is very suspicious. Where did you get it from? If it didn't come from SourceForge or my own personal website , then it isn't official. I'm not sure what YAAC build KM4ACK is presently providing with his ham radio software bundle; I'm assuming he gets it from one of my official sources, but I haven't confirmed this.

As for your map disappearing, I hope you didn't delete your $HOME/YAAC/tiledir directory, because that is where all the map tiles are stored. If you changed the location for your tile directory from the default, you may still be OK, as the old directory is not modified or deleted (or moved) when you change the directory path.

Not sure what I did but I went to update map tiles and got a message that I needed to update YAAC version. Software reports I am at the latest version. My map has disappeared and restarting program does not bring it back. Any help would be appreciated. Also I am trying to download tiles for a larger radius around my station.

Thank you for finding a bug in YAAC. The problem with saving changes to the ambiguity setting will be fixed in the next build.

Subject: [yaac-users] Configure Beacon Save Changes Button & Linux Mint.

Hello my name is Kevin,

I am attempting to change settings on the Configure Beacon page. I'm trying to modify the beacon ambiguity setting. the drop box is available, i change my setting and hit "save changes" close, re-check settings, and find that its back to high precision, attempting to troubleshoot, i was able to change some box check settings but unable to store the ambiguity setting and seemed buggy and some changes wouldn't stay saved. i decided since everything (but that) was configured i exported the xml file to see if i couldn't change the setting and reload the config into YAAC to see if the change was a permission issue? the value was something like "0.0016666" which i assume is linked to the drop box values in the configure beacon page.

OS is Linux mint 20.something, i had issues in the past with this and it somehow got saved and left alone but i cant seem to crack this problem. The real bug is the save changes button not doing anything. and second if anyone knows the VALUE for the different ambiguity levels or if that's just a percentage of drift i can modify ill just modify the XML file outside of program and re upload after.

linked is the KA2DDO html instructional on that page. and yes i have "None of these changes are activated until the Save Changes button is pushed." into oblivion, i appreciate any in-site into this bug.

Thank You.

Greetings.

There could be several reasons why you are not seeing packets received by Direwolf in YAAC.

1. Did you connect YAAC to Direwolf using a YAAC port of type AGWPE or KISS-over-TCP? If so, did you connect to the correct TCP port number as specified in your direwolf.conf file? And is that YAAC port enabled to operate? Those are the only ways presently supported for YAAC to become a client of Direwolf. And YAAC won't cross-understand AGWPE protocol versus KISS protocol if you connect to the wrong protocol's TCP port on Direwolf.

2. Are you looking at the correct geographical area on the YAAC map? Check the coordinates specified on the edge of the map for the graticule lines, and also in the box on the lower-left corner of the map window. Are they anywhere close to where your station is? Note that YAAC supports the entire world (not just North America), so make sure you put your beacon in the correct quadrant of the planet (not East versus West longitude, for example). Did you download OpenStreetMap data to fill in the background? If so, is it showing the correct information for the vicinity of your station?

3. Are you actually receiving traffic into YAAC? Check the View->Raw Packets and View->Station/Object List tables to see if traffic is coming into YAAC (and you're just looking at the wrong coordinates on the map).

If that doesn't help, export your configuration (using the File->Configuration->Export to XML menu choice) and email it to me privately so I can see if there is anything unexpected in your configuration.

Hope this helps.

I have Direwolf V1.7, running on a Raspberry Pi 3, FT-817nd, and using YAAC. YAAC 1.0-beta 196(17-Feb-2024). I've configure things for digipeater and Igate, or at least I think I have. I'm new at this.

I see lots of traffic going by in Direwolf. My digipeater beacon shows up on the map on aprs.fi as K1YPP-10.

The problem I have is that none of the traffic is showing up on the YAAC map. It only shows K1YPP-10. If I use XASTIR, the map does populate. However both have a common problem: If I use my FT5-d and beacon to my station, nothing shows up on the map, or in Direwolf. If I go out on my porch and put the handheld on high power, I hit NI4CE-10, which is about 20-30 miles from here and it updates aprs.fi with K1YPP-7. For some reason my K1YPP-10 Igate is ignoring things. I'm keeping things up running if someone wants to see what is on aprs.fi.

The question is, where do I look to fix things? Like I said, I'm new at this. I have gone through the Direwolf and YAAC documents and haven't really found anything that might address this.

Thanks for any pointers and let me know what I might post (config files, logs, etc.)

Dennis, K1YPP

Ok, ill take a look and see about swapping around. Im new to yaac but its been the most user freindly with what im using, oddly enough haha.

What are the ports you have defined in YAAC? You shouldn't need any Serial_TNC ports since you would use a AGWPE or KISS-over-TCP port for YAAC to talk to Direwolf.

It sounds like yu have a port misconfiguration error.

Hey guys,

Im new to aprs and am hoping to get this running for a backpacking trip in two months.

I have both direwolf and yaac able to Rx aprs packets and the gps coordinates through usb dongle. I just need to be able to Tx my position now. When i turn on YAAC the radio keys and wont unkey unless i exit. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Setup goes: Yaesu vx-6r-->digirig-->usbhub-->FZ-M1 windows machine

I know an aprs capable radio would make things easier; but, im trying tk get what i currently have functional, despite the headaches haha.

Thank you all
