Phil, Since you installed from a package you'll likely find xastir in /usr/share/xastir. The "Debian" way is for packages to install in /somewhere/somewhere/somewhere but programs compiled on the machine go into /somewhere/local/somewhere/somewhere. Unless it's changed very recently it's

The festival error will happen if you have not in fact started the festival daemon. Did you? It is not really a problem unless you are expecting text-to-speech. As for your bitmap error: Did you build Xastir from source, or are you installing from a package. If you are running a build from

Also: How are you shutting down Xastir? Are you doing it through the menus or just killing it with the window controls? Somehow Xastir appears to be dying in a poor manner, which leaves processes running since it's a multi-threaded -and- multiprocessing application. On Mon, Jun 1, 2020 at 8:35

Aha! It was a rookie mistake. I tried to run the ".in" file from the install script instead of the one in the xastir base directory. Tom Henderson On 5/30/20 4:28 PM, Tom Henderson wrote: Just tried to run the script to get FCC callsigns on my raspberry pi for the first time and got the

Further to the ongoing start problem. If I rename /.xastir/config/xastir.cnf, then Xastir will run. I can shut it down and restart without a problem. However, Xastir will not start after a reboot. Does that suggest what the problem might be? Also, I notice that there are multiple xastir.cnf

telnet localhost 1314 results in "connection refused" /etc/hosts had a line that read "127.0.0.1 localhost" I added "localhost.localdomain" to that line. Running xastir after the addition results in the error messages: x_spider: Can't bind local address for AF 2: 98 - Address already in use
