Arch linux still exists?? Why didn't you just throw a live distro of ubuntu on a thumb drive and install it that way? Ubuntu is very well supported and maintained. next you'll be trying to install a 20 year old distro of red hat on a commodor calculator.

There's a problem to where you don't want to update the ubuntu installer. It causes it to fail almost every time that I've noticed. Took removing the bootable device and restarting in safe mode for me to install. Just don't update the installer.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahah, Not upset !!! Still f-ing laughing, hahahahahahahaha So GD true !!!! So GD true !!!! Hahahahahaha

I used one of these MB in my main PC back in the day.... Core 2 8500 overclocked to 4.2, then a Q9550 overclocked to 4ghz. was a nice machine for Windows 7

so true

Oh, regarding the x6200 price, at $880 for the Yaesu FT710 without speaker from R&L, I agree that it’s way too expensive and knocking on the door of the 710 or ic7300. If you want the portable operability and the ic or ft won’t cut it, buy the x6100 at $517 and be happy with its shortcomings and nearly $300 lower cost than the 6200.

Got SBitx from designer Ashhar Farhan at HamVention this year as my reentry into the new world of radios after being away for 20 years. I’m putting up antennas now but have been playing around with the radio using an 11m Big Stick and it’s been doing great on 20m. Decoded my first FT8 on screen last week. Really neat radio and a big community supporting it. Ashhar is usually very responsive in the support groups. For $400, I figured how much do I lose if it’s a piece of crap? Oh it’s the only radio made in India that’s running the circuit. Also at least you are left with a pi 4 and touch screen if you never use the radio portion. So among the well loved Xiegu g90 at about $430 or the Xiegu x6100 now at $517 on Amazon or that whole range of MCHF radios in low $300s based on M0NKA’s open source project, you can protect yourself by buying through Gigaparts, R and L electronics or Amazon. And you buy either well commercialized radios from xiegu, totally experimental like the sbitx or sort of random clone of clone and YMMV in the MCHF genre where the highest priced waterfall display radio is the x6100 @ $517, how can you go wrong? It’s a great time to be in radio.

Hmmm, those 7 segment counters would work perfectly on my KLM Multi-2700 that drifts more than our president.

Awesome find, nothing like el cheapo monitors.

If you could only have one which one would it be

Wow man, thats super low. Is there any negative effects on any equipment?

is that the thermaltake v4 black edition case? if so, i have the same one, which was for my old am3+ pc before the ssd died and the am3+ stock cooler sounds like a jet engine by the way lol

The most awarded ham radio operator in the world according to him QRZ page

I agree with you, you can really get sucked into the ham radio vortex. How much listening can you really do? I would love to learn how to fix or even start to put stuff together. I don't even know how to solder. There must be something out there that you can buy to learn how to fix electronic stuff or learn about all the electrical components.

Yea if they only get more games on Linux I WOULD BE FEELIN GREAT

Hey remember that "ham radio" operators can be some of the cheapest people on the planet lol it's the one "hobby" where people want their money back on their used junk, but they want extra money for inflation of the dollar and having had used and tinkered with the product. Really sick when you think about. As a retired RF engineer, I could tell you without reservation that the majority of these people, even "the old salty dogs" don't know wtf their talking about technically a lot of the time. I wouldn't trust most of them. It's such a shame really. And it's justified by the terms "hobby" and "amateur." Such an unfunny joke..

I’m also a flashlight addict. I got hooked on the hard stuff back in 1980 when I bought my 4 D Cell maglite. I’ve been chasing that high ever since 😂

yeah what about those ass clowns that want a couple of grand for a 30-year-old HF amplifier that's it's not even in good shape or with good tubes or even working right sometimes; "Oh I've used this amp for years and I never had a problem with it!" well yeah, that's why you want dump you're tired amp on me now !you wanna get your money back (and then some!) and unload it by ripping off somebody who'll fall for your shit..

i have one of those....is a great radio...for all the hams like me that don't like those multi menu new radios....is simple and you can see whats on or off by looking the radio....and it works very nice whit 1or 2 dipole and a antenna tuner in a small studio apt

Feel you brotha, did a fresh instal on a new drive today and noticed the installer is literal bloatware now. Asked me about 10 times for 50 different things to download, tracking, services, then trying to sell me stuff. Few years back never had this problem with any of the installers. sad direction theyve taken

I found some of those mega powerful LEDs on an old street light someone threw away. A little soldering and I added one to my el cheapo Amazon flashlight. I just couldn't pay what they wanted for the top tier. 😂

God do better cable management on your pc

Id recommend booting into installer and finding your desired install drive with fdisk -l and then opening it with fdisk /dev/[drive] and deleting any partitions(using d command I believe) since the boot partition is too small, you can write changes with w command. You can resize but with a clean install its easier to just redo the partitioning and install processes. When using archinstall script or if you do the install manually just make sure your boot partition is around 500mb, Ive never had an issue with that personally. Also make sure if the bootloader install step where you got that red error message finishes successfully you should install any necessary wifi drivers if needed, generally intel wifi drivers are built into kernel but for broadcom you might need broadcom-wl or some other package, you can find the right one on the wiki after finding your device model and currently in use driver with lspci -k command. Generally if the usb/disk for the install of arch can boot so can arch itself so its definitely no motherboard issue. Arch can run on very old(or new) hardware for the most part. Good luck, arch and the aur has some cool packages with or without a GUI for using an SDR.

The missing firmware warnings are generally harmless and refer to hardware you likely dont even have on your system, I get them all the time when I rebuild initramfs. It is essentially certain necessary things that get loaded into memory that the kernel needs to boot your system such as filesystem drivers, kernel modules for things like graphics and wireless network cards. The final error during this process is what id be worried about, without properly created initramfs the kernel may fail to boot. Ill double check what it says and post an edit if i see anything obviously messed up.

How can you like or dislike Kubuntu when there are obvious hardware issues stopping you from any real experience? That's like slamming a seat cover because the car doesn't run correctly. With package managers, you can add any package manager you want. Just saying.

sdrpp (sdr++) is a much better SDR app on Linux.

The USB cables that are blocked in windows work fine in linux. At least they did for me.

Ridgid and their Lifetime Service Agreement (LSA). I have dutifully registered every tool and battery (avoid reconditioned and unauthorized/used products). After 15 years of light use, I had sent back a 1.5Ah battery and the inflator (broken tip), they were rebuilt and replaced (in that order). They work great. The string trimmer has been problematic with an overly complicated and fragile design. I like Ridgid and their LSA, just like the old Craftsman and their Lifetime Warranty. I will use them both...Ridgid could use a better breadth of 18v tools, not redesigning their drills, impact drivers, and routers for the nth time. I could use more yard tools, powered wheelbarrow, or maybe some other power tool. The ever expanding Ryobi tool series are tempting...

🤣, brah nailed down a new keyboard at midnight.

how old is the hardware? is the os on a ssd?

Good luck with your install. I had EndeavourOS install Arch for me since I would ended up with two halves of a keyboard if I did it myself.

Its old but would still make a great ham radio computer.

My crappy computer updated a week ago and broke all my audio, I had to go through and redo all the radio software then it turned the fire wall on and blocked all the software linking together via udp etc.

Synaptic is DPKG based. Ubuntu uses Debian's package manager. I use the command line for package management. Some things can take a long time to figure out. Mint is a fork of Ubuntu. At one time Canonical came out with a Desktop Environment called Unity and some folks didn't like it. So they came up with Mint. POST has nothing to do with the OS you're running. That's a hardware issue. My PC boots up in 5.693 seconds according to systemd-analyze. Which is kind of slow. But I don't boot up very often so I can't be bothered profiling it. $ uptime 19:03:22 up 128 days, 24 min, 6 users, load average: 0.11, 0.28, 0.55

Zorin OS is the way to go.

I have installed many many flavors of linux. I failed at Arch just like you. Don't feel bad. Research the UI you like. KDE is the best in my opinion. In your case, for a dual core processor, you choose the wrong UI. Try something like Linux Mint XFCE edition.

If you can't get linux mint to run there's probably no hope on that hardware. it seems like there's some severe hardware issues with your PC. I've had my mobo boot loop a few times before actually starting up, that tends to be a failing mobo. eventually it'll stop booting at all.

Thanks for convincing me to stick with factory-installed Windows 😃 😃 😁

I use arch btw with hyprland

Kubuntu sucks. Try Fedora.

you can just drag and drop to the desktop or the task bar to create a shortcut. It cannot get any simpler than that.

Nice video, thanks!

That was a 100% honest opinion about ham radio. I agree. I don't use 75/80 m and don't plan on it. I usually operate 40 CW. I agree once a majority of these gatekeepers die off things will hopefully get better. Here on the East Coast during the day, my main pet peeve is we have a quote service net on 40 m, but they also asked for " donations" sounds like a Grift to me. And if you don't donate the net control goes out of his way to let everyone else know that oh I noticed that you didn't donate yet ,They say all the money goes to charity... Yeah. But I really wanted to say thank you for making this video and you're right there's probably a lot of amateurs that are pissed off right now I am not one of them. I am radio operator that is saying thank you once again for putting this information out there. They are things that need to be said and things that people need to hear 73.

Nice see the video now, thansk!!!!

Will you install, to us see if it's is good?

The flavor of Linux is the LEAST of your concern. THAT CABLE MANAGEMENT tho... DAMN FIX IT

Manjaro KDE, it includes a nice gui (pamac) for package management which supports repos, aur and flatpaks (will have to enable aur and flatpak in settings)

Maybe one of the many fedora spins? Fedora Budgie Spin is quite good imo, so are all of the fedora spins but thats purely preference. You can look on their site how each looks

There is something, or many things, wrong with your hardware. Boot looping isn’t a good sign already, post issues, and whatever screen you booted into isn’t Kubuntu’s fault so don’t defame it. Try messing around in a live environment to see if anything changes and maybe swapping out parts in the computer

Is this a new to you PC?
