Re: [Xastir] Need help trying to reproduce bug report
Forwarded to the PWCARES cadre. We have a number of folks running Xastir (including me). Hopefully someone can verify it. Cheers, David --- David A.

Re: [Xastir] Alternate way to set display options?
As it happens I’m sitting in front of one of those myself. Got the extended enclosure with a gps, xbee, and 2 more rs232s along with a 12v supply shoehorned in there. There are a few xastir config screens that are too long for that resolution; I use the same workaround you suggest. Worst case you could ssh in (with X11 forwarding on) to the pi from a system with more pixels and configure that way. -Jason ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
[Xastir] Need help trying to reproduce bug report
We just got a bug report submitted on github: https://github.com/Xastir/Xastir/issues/37 The claim is that Xastir is repeatedly retransmitting messages over RF that have already been acked via the APRS-IS. I have never observed this behavior, and am trying to reproduce it. Much to my disappointment, of all the APRS stations in my local area not one has messaging capability --- I can transmit messages to my heart's content and never get an ack from any of them. They're all either running one-way trackers or are just unattended info reporting stations (e.g. weather stations and one-way igates). Even the D700s I see moving around aren't acking messages (this is possibly an issue caused by the one-way igates...). But that's another lament. I've also tried sending messages to a station far out of the area (actually, to Curt), his station immediately ACKS me, I receive the acks over APRS-IS, and that ends my retransmissions over all interfaces once and for all. Since I cannot even reproduce getting an ACK on RF in my local area, it'll be hard even to see if there's a real bug here. Can anyone else check out the bug report and see if they can reproduce the behavior reported? -- Tom RussoKM5VY Tijeras, NM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
[Xastir] Alternate way to set display options?
Under the "Stations," "Filter display" menu, there is a check mark for "Display last report age." Unfortunately, on my Raspi touch screen, it's off the bottom of the screen. I was going to ask where to change that seting in the config file, but I found it. For anyone who may encounter the same problem, the file is ~/.xastir/config/xastir.cnf and you need to change "DISPLAY_LAST_HEARD:0" to "DISPLAY_LAST_HEARD:1" Close xastir before modifying the file, then start xastir again. -- Tom Henderson ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
