Hi, have today installed version 26 of AHRL on my 8GB Raspberry Pi 5 with a 32GB SD card that is running the very latest Raspberry Pi OS (Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)) ...
uname -a
Linux hampi-g7lfc 6.6.31+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.31-1+rpt1 (2024-05-29) aarch64 GNU/Linux
The OS was downloaded today from the Raspberry Pi website and has been updated so that there are no more updates to be installed.
Unfortunately, when I load WSJT-X there are no borders around the window and no min/max/close controls. I know I have to disable Wayland and enable X11, but I thought I'd let you know of the issue.
The other problem is, since performing th install, I can no longer load the Chrome browser.
Many thanks for your help.
Regards
Derek
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 options
Then choose menu option A6: wayland
Finally, choose menu option W1: Openbox with X11 backend
Reboot
In a day or two, I will try compiling wsjtx from source to see if that resolves the issue. I doubt that it will, but it is worth a try. If that fixes things, I'll modify the install_ahrl script to install wsjtx from source.
Regarding the chromium browser, it works fine for me here. Did you mean Chrome or Chromium?
Please give me more details so I can attempt to reproduce what you're seeing.
Thanks, and 73,
Andy

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,

Thanks, Derek, for closing the loop!
I'm curious to hear how this works for you when actually hooked up to the radio.
Have fun and 73,
Andy
