Links on Desktop do not work after install on Linux Mint 22.0

After chatting with Benjie via email, I think it is OK to close this bug as "NOT A BUG" unless more evidence surfaces. Thanks, Benjie, for providing feedback! 73, Andy KB1OIQ ..

Benjie Quintana posted a comment on ticket #7
That's a good question! Since I didn't expect it, I didn't try it for that purpose. I did a fresh install of the OS in the days before downloading your tar.gz package, and only made several soft links to other directories on my desktop eg "ln -s /home/user/Documents/LaTeX LaTeX" for a link to my LaTeX document and others, prior to installing your program. I followed your install instructions and the installation proceeded without problems. Since there are several 'desktops' and 'file managers' perhaps...

HI Benjie, The installation of AHRL does nothing with desktop icons. I'm wondering if you can confirm that this behavior occurred BEFORE the attempt to install AHRL. Thanks ,and 73, Andy KB1OIQ ..
-
SOLVED! Found that the 'default' open command was to use "Disk Usage Analyser". Changed to default to "nemo" by right-click, 'open with' and typing in nemo and select as the 'default' action.

Hi Peter, The "version" command is to be typed in a terminal window at the command line prompt. There are different ways to bring up a terminal window, depending on which Linux one is using. In Linux Mint, right click on the background and notice the menu which appears. There is a selection called "Open in Terminal". Click on that selection and a terminal window will appear. At the prompt in that terminal window, type "version" (without the quotes) and press the ENTER key. The result of the command...

Hi again Andy, my question is how / where to insert the "version" command, and what to expect from doing so. Definitely a newbie question. I guess that would allow me to revert back or keep track... 3 weeks ago you may recall my SUCCESSFUL install of 26a over a fresh Cinnamon 22, It resides in the middle of a triple-boot GMKtec Nucbox G3 Mini PC with the 12th Gen Intel Alder Lake N100. (16GB ram and 1TB SSD). (Win11, Cinnamon 22, DragonOS Focal). I haven't checked every app yet. and want to be confident...

Hi Everybody, I've just released AHRL version 26a with bug fixes, a couple of updates, and added support for Linux Mint 22 (Cinnamon). This version can be installed on top of version 26. Just follow the directions in the GETTING_STARTED document. Use the "version" command to ensure that you've done things correctly. Have fun and 73, Andy KB1OIQ

Hi Peter, SIR: that was a very astute observation and quite correct. I have fixed that typo in the document and I'll upload a new version shortly. THANK YOU for your patience and feedback. I hope you thoroughly enjoy this software collection. Have a lot of fun and 73, Andy KB1OIQ ..
-
There is a typo in the last line below: Install the AHRL files thus: * sudo -i * cd /usr/local * tar xzvf /root/ahrl_VER.tar.gz (again, replacing VER with the actual version information) This last line should read tar xzvf /root/andy_VER.tar.gz (not tar xzvf /root/ahrl_VER.tar.gz) My install was successful without a single hitch. Best to you holmzie n2exg

Hi Jonathan, Please don't use beta1 - please grab the released version 26. There were several bug fixes and some other things cleaned up for the release. /usr/local/bin is a particularly bad place to put the tarball. I'll update the instructions, but for now, put the downloaded tarball in /root. Then, cd /usr/local per the instructions, and proceed. Note that it is assumed that when you issue the tar instruction, you'll point to the file via either a relative or absolute path. If you're getting "No...

I'm relatively new to Linux. I am installing V26 on 24.04 LTS a clean install. According to the installation instrux: Download the file from Sourceforge: * ahrl_VER.tar.gz * copy this to some convenient directory I copied it to the cd/usr/local/bin directory, as that seems like what's being used below. I then open a terminal in the usr/local/bin directory and when I run "tar xzvf andy_v26beta1.tar.gz" and get the following: tar (child): ahrl_andy_v26beta1.tar.gz: Cannot open: So such file or directory...

Hi Denton, Did you read the GETTING_STARTED document? The detailed instructions are contained therein. Also, what does it mean when you say "it fails"? Can you show me a screenshot? Thanks, and 73, Andy -- Andy Stewart (KB1OIQ)

ARDOP

ARDOP will be in the next AHRL release. I took the README.md file and tied it to a documentation menu. That'll be OK for now. Thanks, and 73, Andy KB1OIQ ..

Please add AntScope2 (for newer RigExpert devices)

AntScope2 will definitely be in the next AHRL release. I'm closing the ticket. Thanks, and 73, Andy KB1OIQ ..

Hi Lee, I tried to get D-Rats-0.4.2.tar.gz to build with no success. :-( I've got one more thing to try before I give up for this release. LMK if you have any helpful hints. Thanks, and 73, Andy KB1OIQ ..

Tyler Dinsmoor posted a comment on ticket #10
There's no man page as this program isn't packaged for distribution and descriptive documentation isn't finished (yet) I've been working on documentation for it though, incomplete but has useful information, here: https://github.com/pflarue/ardop/tree/master/docs Specifically, a good place to start: https://github.com/pflarue/ardop/blob/master/docs/About.md
-
Hi Tyler, Is there anything akin to a man page for ardopcf? With command line programs for ham radio, I like to put a documentation link in the menu system. This gives users a place to start, but more than that, they'll see "ardopcf" and know that it is there. Thanks, and 73, Andy KB1OIQ ..

ARDOP

Hi Tyler, That new link looks MUCH better: https://github.com/pflarue/ardop It compiled without any issues. I'm tying it in to the menu system, etc. There's a very high probability that this will be in the next release of AHRL. Thanks for the suggestion, and 73, Andy KB1OIQ ..
-
I've been contributing to a fork (MIT), here: https://github.com/pflarue/ardop It will compile, either the master or develop branch with just 'make' It's compatible with ardop1 on the air. We haven't yet started working on the GUI side of things. It works really good.

I verified that indeed this software is Free Software - thanks, Tyler, for that pointer. However, my attempts to compile it have been in vain. Have you successfully compiled it on a modern Linux version, and if so, what did you do? Maybe I'm missing something simple. Thanks, and 73, Andy KB1OIQ ..

HI Aaron, antscope2 is GOOD TO GO for the next AHRL release. Thanks for the suggestion! 73, Andy KB1OIQ ..

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">Your system behaved faultlessly. Have never used a Raspberry Pi, Linux or an Icom IC-7100 before to operate FT8. Having installed AHRL yesterday, today I hooked everything together and it all just worked - no issues at all.Typically I chose a day when we were suffering a radio blackout, but made two contacts into Eastern Europe.Congratulations on producing a great product and many thanks for your support.

-
Hi Derek, As I mentioned, the Chromium browser is working fine for me when installed from the repository. Are you seeing something different? The install_ahrl program doesn't touch Chromium, it only installs ham radio applications and their required libraries. At this point, I don't see a bug in AHRL that I need to fix. Do you agree? If not, please explain. Thanks, and 73, Andy KB1OIQ ..

Hi Aaron, Thanks for this suggestion. Let me see what I can do. Yes, the MIT License is Free Software compatible. I also see a bunch of other requests from other users that somehow fell off my radar. I'll consider those as well. 73, Andy KB1OIQ ..

Hi Derek, I confirm that I've seen the behavior that you've mentioned with wsjtx. This feels like a bug in WSJTX (or possibly Wayland) and I hope you will report it to the respective team. The install_ahrl script installs wsjtx from the repository (see function install_wsjtx()). As you mentioned, would could switch from Wayland to X11, and that appears to fix the issue with wstjx. In case people don't know how to make that switch, it is done this way: sudo -i raspi-config Choose menu option 6: advanced...

Hi Mike, I need more information in order to help you. You said that you installed Ventoy, but first I need to know which version and flavor of Linux you are using. For example, are you using Linux Mint Cinnamon version 21.3, or something else? Which version of Andy's Ham Radio Linux are you using? I would encourage you to use version26 which is the latest. If you're getting a login error, I suspect you're using version 25. There's a description of how to get around that issue in the GETTING_STARTED...

I haven't tried to install the video driver that I found on the NVIDIA website yet. I forgot to mention that I did set it up to dual boot with Windows 7, which works fine. Windows 7 also worked fine before Linux was there.

Hi Wiley, There are two ways that software can be installed on AHRL: * from the repository * from source Sometimes, the repository version is up to date, and other times it is far behind the latest version. In a few cases, the desired software is not part of the repository, in which case it must be installed from source. I endeavor to provide the most recent version when I release a new version of AHRL. For any given piece of software, if one knows the command to invoke it, one can deduce how it...

What, if possible, is the proper way to update CHIRP on Andy's Ham Radio? I have downloaded and extracted the tarball, have the proper Python files, and followed the instructions on the CHIRP website for installing and running the latest daily release, but when it launches, it opens the native 2023 version that comes with Andy's software. I'm hesitant to uninstall the native version out of simple fear I may break something. Thanks Wiley Later that day: I managed to get it updated. I downloaded a...
