Hi Bill,

The reason I suggested running as Administrator is to see if there are any 
authorization issues. If it works as Admin and does not work as non-Admin, that 
is useful information to know.

On my Ubuntu system some of the RC versions and the GA version produce a Log 
File Error message (upon clicking OK in the Log QSO dialog) popup that contains 
the text "Cannot open "/home/eric/local/share/WSJT-X/wsjtx_log.adi". If I run 
using sudo I do not get this error message box.

Eric

Try running "As Administrator". Right click on program icon to choose this.

Hi Eric,

this is poor advice, there is absolutely no reason to run WSJT-X with 
administrator rights, do so is a potential security risk. Just don't do it.
