Re: [Xastir] Couple of Small Problems, Maybe?

No, it's frowned upon to connect to multiple internet servers at once. You'd switch the one you have defined over to one of the Firenet addresses instead. Firenet and the APRS-IS servers are connected, so you should just pick up MORE stuff with Firenet but not lose anything by connecting there

- use good passwords (google that one, several articles available) - keep the OS patched regularly. turn on automatic updates if patching isn't part of your routine. Yes, a bad patch _can_ cause trouble but unless you have the vigilance of a paranoid sysadmin you're far more likely to be

Hey David,This is Mickey, Flip's wife. the xastir site has "TBD" on the section for Igating. Other than how to turn on igating, there's no help. We've both looked to see how to do this, but no luck. I am sighted, he is not - but he has screen readers to read the stuff out to him. these are

[Xastir] Run Xatir

Thanks Den for your help on the password problem. After 5 times i figured the xstart thing. Now I don't know how to start Xatir. The instructions say that it will be under "Other" but I don't have that in my program list. I looked through the whole list and don't see Xatir anywhere. Chris

Jason, Can not say exactly how I ran into this issuefollowing your tutorial but I did and it was the second time it happened to me. The first configuring a WeeWX pi. This discussion started when Chris appeared to have the same issue on 2/16 and was asking how to fix the pi boot refusal. I

Well, I stumbled on this anomaly and it looks like others have too where you can 'shoot yourself'. Get locked out and not be able to get back in. And so far, there is no recovery, except logging in as root. There are way too many shoddy tutorials on the web that lure users into pulling the
