Re: [Xastir] Confused..HELP

[David Lane]

Thanks Tom,

I had that thought after I sent my first post. I ran through the first few 
steps and it worked so I suspect that was the core problem. It’s been a bit 
since I did my last full compile. Good documentation so my hat is off to 
whoever did the work.

Re: [Xastir] Confused..HELP

[David Lane]

Another thought as I am cranking through this again on a clean system, 
following the directions here: http://xastir.org/index.php/HowTo:Raspbian 
 you need to make sure you are 
starting at Preparing the System and ensure that all the various support 
packages are installed before you clone the Xastir code. I assumed you had 
already done that, but that might not be a true state, so to be pedantic, make 
sure you have all the goo to build before you start.

Re: [Xastir] Confused..HELP

[David Lane]

Before you did the git clone did you create the local src directory then change 
into it?

You really should not be running the compile as root, but check your 
/home/root/ directory and make sure you have a directory called src/Xastir 
(/home/root/src/Xastir). When you do the git clone, it should create the Xastir 
directory, you don’t need to actually create it.

If you did not do the git clone as root, then the source file is in the home 
directory of the user you logged in as (likely pi) so /home/pi/scr/Xastir (or 
if you did not create the src directory, Xastir). Once the clone is complete, 
it should all fall into place.

Re: [Xastir] Mapquest Option going away

[David Lane]

I am not a big believer in keeping useless code around that will only make 
making it more complicated. And MapQuest is not likely coming back in its 
current form.

Re: [Xastir] Starting xastir.

[David Lane]

I would guess the .desktop goes in the root of you home directory (/home/UID). 
Don't know about the icon. You could make one :)

Re: [Xastir] Use of callsign

[David Lane]

The call sign must be yours, and valid.

What Clay was elluding to (I suspect) is the magic validation code, which
may or may not be related to your call sign (mine isn't for example) to
actually log into the APRS servers.

 Hi, just a question (wondering)
 Are you (US) allowed to use any name on a digi / Igate and not a valid

 In case someone else makes the same stupid mistake -

 I'm setting up my Xastir instance as a Fill-In Digi and iGate.  I've been
 using N7QNM as a callsign forever.

 Last night, as a final step; I changed the callsign to PROSSR (to
 reflect
 the location).   Right after that; I noticed that my iGates were no longer
 going anywhere.

 I forgot to use callpass to change my validation code.

 Doh!

Re: [Xastir] Ready to talk Xastir?

[David Lane]

Have a great day Curt and thanks for all you do for Xastir.  I will not be
able to talk face-to-face (being on the East Coast right now) but I talk it
up whenever I get the chance.  I hope to get it installed on a Pi later
this month and follow it up with an article for the Linux Journal.

 Hanging out one 223.5 simplex at the moment.

 Jeremy:  Thanks for the warning on the other list...  I'll be watching now
 so I can cross to the other side of the street before you recognize me!

[Xastir] Xastir Article(s)?

[David Lane]

Good afternoon all,

I have been tasked, as a Guest Assistant Editor of the Linux Journal to
scare up some willing authors to submit articles on Linux/Open Source
software and Amateur Radio and clearly Xastir is one of the leading
applications with a great following.

So, anyone got a bee in their bonnet that they could scribble out 3000 words
before 1 October 2009?  If your article is accepted for publication, there
is a small honorarium.

If you are interested, please drop me a note directly and keep up the good
work!

Thanks,

DAVID
