Hi Folks:
I didnt realize that this list and the IRC channel were connected. Its
probably listed someplace and I just plain MISSED it -- LOL
I appreciate your willingness to help me with my issue. Its kinda at a
standstill right now.
I am running Kubuntu 15.04 (I THINK, its either that or 15.10) (yes, I
realize the differences between kubuntu and ubuntu, but I havent found a
kubuntu-hams list yet). and I have been using N1MM Logger under wine
with it. it works good, except that I cannot get the radio to talk with
the computer (Im using the old version of N1MM b/c the new one wont even
start under wine for me (I suspect there is some sort of ODBC driver
missing. The computer is in the ham-shack with no internet, so its a
pain to drag it up here to plug it in, but I'll do that one of these days.)
Anyway, I was messing around with it today, and discovered (From a
forum) that I had to symbolically link the /dev/ttyUSB0 file and
/home/tim/.wine/dosdevices/com1 to each other. Now i have "partial"
communications. By clicking on the band map, i can sometimes get the
radio to respond, but its not bi-directional, and N1MM keeps timing out
and popping up a box saying to reset the radios. SO I am looking for
any further input that you all can add. Including info on getting N1MM+
working under wine. The machine is a Pentium 4 2.3 GHZ with 1 gb memory
and 120 gb hdd. I use CQR log for day to day logging (because I cant
keep DXKeeper working right) and N1MM for contesting, (Because TLF just
DOESNT get it for me)
THanks for any and all help you can add

Hi,
I've noticed for a while now we're doing poorly at answering help
questions on our IRC channel. I suspect part of that is because the exam
bot is popular with AC6SL. :-)
After attempting to answer a question for W8TAH I noticed far up in the
log there were some messages from KM4KQW and a missed question from
KG5KFD. As I started scrolling back into November I saw a lot more
unanswered questions.
So I'd like to kick of a discussion about how to fix this.
My initial two reactions are:
1) Perhaps we should consider moving the exam bot to a sub-channel,
e.g. #ubuntu-hams-hamexam. That would help us not lose sight of the
help requests that come in.
2) Perhaps we should consider creating a bot on the channel that would
act like a doorbell. We could put some instruction in the channel entry
message that says "if you ask a question and get no reply in 20 minutes,
type in !helpme" and the bot will highlight a bunch of people in the
channel. There's probably a MUCH better way to do this. Honestly I've
not had much success with bots like this but I don't have any other
supportive ideas.
Thoughts?
Joey
