Quick Linux Shack Tools Install - FLRig, FLDigi, CQRLog, JS8Call, WSJT-X

[@FEPLabsRadio]

Outstanding video. The force is strong with you.

[@temporarilyoffline]

Thanks Jim!

[@signalscout6020]

Cool! I managed to get Mint 20.1 onto an old Asus, and install JS8 Call, which I haven’t used, and CHIRP, which I have. I needed the HRCC Facebook group to get me over an install hurdle, and some other cool Linux people on MeWe to answer a question here and there. I am not a techie dude, but the community around Linux is pretty fun. I’m going to sub with bell in case you decide to do some in-depth JS8/WSJTX stuff with Linux.

[@temporarilyoffline]

I have a few in the back catalog. All of my operating streams are done on Linux. Anything you see with wsjt-x, chirp, js8call, sstv, etc is all Linux. Let me know if you need any help.

[@signalscout6020]

Very cool, will check all those out!

Certainly come a long way. I started 25 years ago before usb was adopted. It was Hell. Today it's a well perfected OS. It's now my main os with Linux mint. Still learning at age 75 . I forget a lot of cmds , but I managed ok. Thanks for your input on the subject. I envy your keyboard skills .To be expected when your a pro. My daughter fly's across keyboards , she was in webdesign. My daughter took after me as I was an electrical engineer with radio electronic interests, but my son is a coach driver. Hi. He calls me a Geek. Best wishes 73 de gw4gja

[@temporarilyoffline]

I'm old enough to remember when geek was a bad name, but young enough to laugh at the ones that called me that now. It's awesome that you're still learning new things. I hope to be that as I continue to refine (age). Thanks for the kind words!

Good job Steve, Log on fam!

[@temporarilyoffline]

Thanks Brett!

[@TheNoCodeTech]

Great video, thanks. #ThNHR #TeamReplay for the win!

[@dback4430]

You make it look so easy

[@temporarilyoffline]

It is easy. Linux has come a long way

[@dback4430]

Well I got it booted but wont get on the internet wirelessly so I’ll get a cable and try some more over the weekend. It’s personal now

[@temporarilyoffline]

Awesome, let me know on discord how you make out. Happy to help.

[@brentebrown]

Steve do you know how to make hamlib and FLrig work on my g90 for JS8call?

[@temporarilyoffline]

Hey Brent, I'll reach out to you on discord, we'll get to the bottom of it.

[@juliopy9dm]

Great video. I'm new to Linux, I wanted to know how to select the entire log, what keyboard shortcut do I use? In Win Crtl + A , in cqrlog I haven't managed to do that yet . And if I want to export 1000 contacts as I do , the sidebar does not scroll throughout the log it seems to me . Sorry for the newbie question .73 by PY9DM Julio

[@temporarilyoffline]

It really depends on what editor you are using, so there isn't just one answer. Look for an editor in your GUI and that might be more familiar.

[@Jay-hr9ci]

How can I connect WSJTX to a Barrett 4050 via IP?

[@temporarilyoffline]

That looks like an interesting radio! It looks like wsjt-x might have support for the 2059 or the 950. Here are my thoughts: needs sound and cat control. The radio mentions USB for cat control, but I couldn't get details on sound. Looks like a fun project

[@eddugo3717]

Hi Steve; I have a problem installing WSJTX and JS8Call on my shack computer. It's a Ubuntu 21.04 operating system and it gives me error messages when I install both that read they use the same files. After that i can't update anything until I remove one of those two programs. the funny part is that I had them on my older Ubuntu computer before and they worked perfectly.

[@temporarilyoffline]

I had some trouble with that as well. Try installing JS8Call first, and make sure you're using the downloads instead of the ubuntu repository versions.

[@JhKnife-OZ4HJ-Jimmi]

Hi TO. Please make a dedicated video about installing and setting up CQRlog. I’m having a struggle getting it to work with my IC7300 and a raspberry pi 4….🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 73 OZ4HJ Jimmi.

[@temporarilyoffline]

Hey Jimmi, thanks for watching. CQRLog is pretty difficult to configure. But once you get going it's great. Last time I checked it didn't work on Ubuntu 22.04, I'll have to check again and if it works I'll make that video.

[@Errantduvide]

Hi, after a big update like that you should do a reboot.

[@temporarilyoffline]

Good idea

[@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures]

So you used this because the mac doesn't work with these systems??

[@temporarilyoffline]

The MacBook has proprietary drivers so I had to use this version of Linux. I could do all this with macos too, but that's no fun.

[@kellingc]

I do a dd if=/dev/sda of=/devsdb bs=1028 once a month. I have a ceon job to tar my home directory, /use, and /etc and delete any tarball older than 8 days. Saved Mr more than once.

[@temporarilyoffline]

Awesome, do you upload it at all?

[@kellingc]

@@temporarilyoffline what, the backups or as in video? I'm rebuilding my shack and going to post that if I get off my butt and edit it together. For dd, I use a terabyte passport drive, and the tarballs I cycle three 32GB flash drives.

[@temporarilyoffline]

@@kellingc I was asking about DD, checking out your channel now. I use dropbox for the small stuff and for the bigger stuff I use a RAID 6 setup on a Pi

Thanks for the video. 73

Thanks for watching!

@@temporarilyoffline I’ll test it with MXLinux21 in an Dell lappy. This video was inspiring

[@temporarilyoffline]

@@Eduar-d-o I bet that would work great!

[@Eduar-d-o]

@@temporarilyoffline think so. I like their snapshot feature

[@AG7SM]

how many 949e's do you own?

[@temporarilyoffline]

Just 3... That's not weird is it?

[@AG7SM]

@@temporarilyoffline I have one, and I can totally understand getting them -- there's something cool about the way it's put together. Completely understandable by opening the box. I put chickenhead knobs on mine and it really made the inductor and antenna selector knobs easier to use.

Quit giving away all of our secrets. You have been warned.

[@temporarilyoffline]

Understood sir

[@darylnd]

What's the secret to getting photo printing not to *SUCK* on Linux? The same files that print beautifully on Windows or Mac come out a fuzzy, color shifted mess on Linux. That's really the only thing keeping me on Windows. 73 de KN6NPZ

[@temporarilyoffline]

@darylnd I try my best to not print anything, I can't help out there.

[@darylnd]

@@temporarilyoffline A photograph doesn't really exist until it's been printed.

[@russharmon6635]

You went so fast that I could not follow anything you did

[@temporarilyoffline]

Good thing I put instructions and the description to help out. A lot of this stuff will never make sense no matter how many times you watch it. Its a nudge to get in there and play - esp with a full on laptop computer costing $60 its a fantastic way to get your feet wet and not interfere with your day job. Give it a go!
