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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
@@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
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
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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!

Good job Steve, Log on fam!
Thanks Brett!
Great video, thanks.

You make it look so easy
It is easy. Linux has come a long way
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
Awesome, let me know on discord how you make out. Happy to help.

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.
Steve do you know how to make hamlib and FLrig work on my g90 for JS8call?
Hey Brent, I'll reach out to you on discord, we'll get to the bottom of it.
Thanks for the video. 73

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

So you used this because the mac doesn't work with these systems??
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.
How can I connect WSJTX to a Barrett 4050 via IP?

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