As usual, amazing tutorial! I will try it on my Toughbook CF-30! Thanks Jason!
Amazing set of how to videos. I have struggled for so long and now I finally have installed Linux on my old pc and all the software to get me going with these digital modes. Thank you
Awesome! Glad it helped :-)
Thanks for the video. The first command in the terminal fixed my issue installing the newest version of Gridtracker deb file
Great video. Just made my first JS8Call qso's with tht evolve laptop. Cant believe how good a cheap laptop works. THX & 73 de NT7R
Thanks.....some of this helps me with my regular laptop Mint machine.😀😀😀😀
Thank you very much for this video. I have been struggling to get ham apps installed/working on various distributions. Most of the videos about installing/using these apps on Linux are almost always out of date. The Linux distributions update pretty fast and the app versions are always newer too it seems so finding a recent video on the "how to'" has been very difficult until I discovered yours. I'm a Fedora guy myself, but I run my Ham stuff on virtual machines that are hosted on my ProxMox hypervisor. I then run Spice to remote to them. With a few changes to the install method, I was able to get Wsjtx and Gridtracker running on Unbuntu Cinnamon 22.04. I'm going to check out some of your other videos to see about some of the other software your using too. Linux is FAR superior to Windows and thankfully some of the main apps are also usable in Linux!
Hi worked fine just remember to have flrig running when you start the second video.
An easier way to handle dependency solving is just to use `apt-get install `. Aptitude and Yellowdog both can install from file and will check repos for dependencies as applicable.
Thanks!
@km4ack Jason: Do you make all the setup links for Build-a-Pi (Setup guide and such) point at mailchimp or did YT highjack them?
Just one snag. WSJTX and JS8Call both have the same audio devices set up, WSJTX operates exactly as it should, can Tx & Rx. JS8 will only Rx. PTT sets IC7300 to transmit but no audio reached the radio. Any ideas?
I've been kind of spoiled with Mint so far. Usually any developer has had an "if you have Ubuntu click here" button or at worst "install this flatsnapimage thing". I think I haven't dealt with dependency problems bc I initially installed FLrig and such from the Mint repos. Sound about right?
I’m very late to this series of Linux Mint installs but a question comes to mind. Since you are, like me, a Mac guy, why do you prefer using Linux instead of installing all of this on an old, cheep Macbook running an older version of macOS? I’m seriously considering installing Linux Mint on my 2011 MBP but as I see these vids, all of the apps are already available for macOS. Just curious.
Hi Jason. Getting the following error configure: error: unrecognized option: '--enable' Try ./configure --help for more information. Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Nice so far. flrig installed and is controlling the IC-705. PTT works from flrig. WSJTX installed okay, but when I finish the configuration and hit the "Test CAT" button, the "Test CAT" button does not turn green and the "Test PTT" button turns red and pressing the (red) "Test PTT" button does not key the radio. Linux Mint Cinnamon 21 on an HP Chromebook x360 14c-cc0013dx. Hamlib is version 4.5. All other softwate is the same version as the video (as far as I can tell). Any ideas where to start?
One more thing. When WSJTX is set to go directly to the radio, it all seems to work okay, but of course, rigctl is not being used.
I get an error when installing wsjtx_2.6.1_amd64.deb because
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/pixmaps/wsjtx_icon.png', which is also in package wsjtx-data 2.5.4+repack-1
but I never installed ver 2.5.4
simply removing the offending .png file did not help. What now? skip it and go on to the rest...
When running the "dpkg -i..." command, i am getting "dpkg: error processing archive" and "--control subprocess returned error stats 2"
Try running: *sudo apt --fix-broken install* and then run the dpkg -i command again.
Hey Jason. Thx for the work you do. I did a fresh install on the Evolve III. All went well up to FLDigi. After downloading, moving to the download/fldigi-4.1.23 directory I issued the ./configure command as shown. I get a "No package 'portaudio-2.0' found" . Any ideas? Thx. As you can tell I am not a Linux guru. I will be jumping to your videos in hope of fixing some of the knowledge/gray matter areas.
Thx, Steve (KO4SBA)
Run the code below all as one line:
*sudo apt install -y libfltk1.3-dev libjpeg62-dev libxft-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libsndfile1-dev libsamplerate0-dev portaudio19-dev libpulse-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev texinfo libudev-dev*
Then try to build FLRIG again.
@@KM4ACK You da man! Making now. Thank you!
just after following your directions finished rebooted and the update manager want to update js8call to 2.2.0+ds-2 just and FYI.
Yes. That is virtually the same thing you saw in the video that I ignored. Just wanted you guys to see it installed from the dev website in case the repo wasn't always ahead.
Do you calibrate your sound card for FLDIGI in linux?
Never found a need to. Seems to work fine out of the box.
What cables would I need for connecting a FT-991A? Thanks.
If I remember correctly, the 991 has a built in sound card it should be a single USB cable between the computer and the radio.
@@KM4ACK Thanks for the update.
You realize that your first link for wsjtx is not available any more ?!
ah and now you may need portaudio too.
I'm going to head over to my computer store. In the old CF 27, the ram is 265 or 256. I don't know if a 2GB will work in this old Toughbook. The USB flash drive will not load the image. I have to copy it directly to the replacement drive. If this work I'll use this for my mobile.
I received the following error after running the sudo dpkg -i wsjtx_2.5.4_amd64.deb
ko4sba@ko4sba-Evolve:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i wsjtx_2.5.4_amd64.deb

Any ideas how to fix this? flrig was running during the install attempt

Try
sudo apt --fix-broken install
and then run the main package again
sudo dpkg -i wsjtx_2.5.4_amd64.deb
@@KM4ACK I did try it. Same results. It worked even after the warning. I have since done something wrong and will probably have to start from scratch. FLRig cannot connect to my 7100 anymore after I installed some logging software. I should have left things alone. It see's the two serial ports after unplug/re-plug and pressing the update button. I rebooted and still the same.
