Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Utility Linux version
Don't let a few idiots put you off Linux. Look into the linux...@groups.io mailing list (the home of Fldigi etc) Lots of GOOD help on there, by many who remember our initial frustration with it all. (Some Elecraft users there too.) As to one OS vs another. Linux is different, that is all. Do any of you remember when you first started using Windows or Mac*? I'll bet that was just as frustrating and confusing then, as if you expect to "just jump in, and survive" with Linux (or BSD, or MacOS) these days. (* Has to be said, that back in the Steve Jobs days, the UI was truly a work of art, you didn't need instructions. Since his sad demise, it's all gone a bit Pete Tong.) As others have said, it is possible to have a PC that will boot it's original OS (Windows or Mac) or one or more versions of Linux (or any other OS) so you can choose at boot time what you want. Yes, there are several well known Ham Radio programs that have no "Direct equivalent" Linux version, but there is other equaly good software native to Linux that will do the same job. Mostly. There are also some that have no equivalent, or even anything close (sadly.) Some of them will run under WINE, some wont. But, unless you use them all the time every day, you won't need them most of the time. (Thinking here of Motorola DMR programming software as an example.) In such cases, just boot into Windows, get that job done, then if needed reboot back into Linux (or whatever) and carry on. If you want to just get your toes wet, without risk of corrupting or bricking your main PC, get another, or even a Raspberry Pi, to experiment on. The Pi's are good, as the whole OS etc fits on one SD card. If you mess it up, it's trivial to wipe and start over. The latest Pi's are really good and powerful machines too, much more than you'd expect from something of it's size, and at the price, can't be beat. Dont give up. Keep moving. Explore the pre-built packages first, before trying to learn how to compile stuf from source. But when ready, get onto the Fldigi wiki, and follow the build instructions there, to build and install the latest Fldigi etc. http://www.w1hkj.com/doku/doku.php?id=start If needed, ask on linuxham.io for assistance, and it will be given. 73. Dave G0WBX. (KX3, TS870s, FT736r, Mostly Linux these days, but still use Windows at work.)

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Utility Linux version
Ok, here’s what was sent to me to get the 32 bit KX3UtilityLINUX_1_16_6_25.tgz installed on Linux Mint ‘Sylvia’ Cinnamon Desktop edition 18.3 64-bit. Now the KX3 Utility is running. tnx to all that responded. de George WD0AKZ dit – dit --- Try these suggestions to get 32-bit running. * Dependencies for use with Elecraft Linux-based Utilities 1) 32 bit vs 64 bit Distributions The Elecraft Utilities for Linux are 32-bit and require installing 32-bit compatiblity libraries on 64-bit distros that will allow 32-bit apps to run. On Unbuntu 14 and later based distros: sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0.0:i386 sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libglib2.0-0:i386 libsoup2.4-1:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 2) cURL must be installed on your Linux distro for FTP You will have to install cURL if it is not pre-installed. Most distros have it pre-installed, but not all. It is easy to install from a terminal: sudo apt-get install curl 3) Ensure your DialOut groups are set up properly Most users, other than root and members of the dialout group, do not have read/write permissions on the serial port device files. The Utilities cannot access the serial ports if the user does not have r/w permissions. An easy way to set the permissions is to add the user to the dialout group. sudo adduser username dialout 4) All files and directories included in the gzipped tar file must be kept together in the same location. The "Help directory", "Libs" directory (ie k3util Libs), and executable binary (ie k3util) must all be located together in the same directory. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Utility Linux version
Just as "Life is too short for QRP", Life is too short for devoting my retirement years to learning Linux. It seems these days more hams are professional computer geeks but total amateurs with understanding RF. Evidence: the growing population of wireless noise floor. Some day they will be looking for some old bent over RF engineer to rescue their mess (aka Y2K). Me? Just a bent former mw engineer (of course). Keep the faith, Don! My first computer was a Comadore-64. Then a job in 1982 with the original PC (8080) and DOS 1.1. Had to self-teach myself to program (BASIC) so I could do my job. I'm pretty good a coding but that bores the sh*t out me. At a job interview with IBM many, many years ago, when asked what i was interested in doing, I answered microwave engineering ... I didn't get the job with IBM (LOL). 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com Dubus-NA Business mail: dubus...@gmail.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Utility Linux version
Re: "if you don't understand the language, go away". THANK YOU, DON!!! I agree with your entire post. I have actually asked for help in forums, and the responders have made typos what they tell me to type, and then they brow beat me because they made a mistake. One of them actually said, "You should have known what I meant to type!" YIKES! Not exactly a friendly community. Every time I think about switching to Linux, it doesn't take me long to reconsider. Way too many hours are spent trying to make things work. It just isn't worth the trouble.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Utility Linux version
If you are not good at deciphering cryptic messages with geek words, don't use Linux. I do wish it were better, but Linux seems to be steeped in "geekdom language" - if you are not educated in the language, you do not deserve to be part of our culture. Until Linux produces plain text language for errors and such messages, it will not be a major player in the computer operating systems. Windows has its share of cryptic messages, but at least it is in plain text and does not often refer to "gobbledygook" that is only understood by Windows geeks. I have tried Linux and have been stiffed by questions to the forums saying essentially "if you don't understand the language, go away". I am not a computer dummy - I understand DOS, but the Linux language is a thing unto itself. Ubuntu and Linux Mint have reduced the Linux install process difficulty, but have not tackled the cryptic messages that can result. If you only want to do only email and web surfing, then Linux can work well for you, but anything else can be daunting with cryptic requests to enter a nonsensical string of commands for "who knows what results" and be shamed by the forum geeks who blame you for not understanding the language. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/11/2018 11:00 PM, George Pasek wrote: ./exec said: ./kx3util: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Add Arch support sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 Followed by sudo apt-get update Hit:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease Hit:2 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease Hit:3 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease Hit:4 http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu xenial InRelease Hit:5 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates InRelease Hit:6 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports InRelease Ign:7 http://packages.linuxmint.com sylvia InRelease Hit:8 http://packages.linuxmint.com sylvia Release Reading package lists...

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Utility Linux version
This, sadly, is the downfall of Linux. Nothing is easy! Linux mainstream versions such as Ubuntu and Mint are great systems - I run Mint dual boot with Win 10 here. That said, I use the Win 10 side for everything to do with my K-Line. I am spoiled, as are many others, by the ease of installation/operation of the software I use on a regular basis. Further, some software I use is not replaceable under Linux. There is nothing up to the job available. Wine is not the answer, as many Win programs will not properly run under Wine/Linux - if at all. Recently, there is also a problem with Wine itself - as being discussed on various Linux forums. Personally, I would much prefer to run Linux 100% - for various reasons (mainly security). That said, until Linux is made much more friendly to the new user and the available software library drastically increases, it will never be more than a very minor player at the user level. Linux is, however, a major player in higher levels.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Utility Linux version
If you open an terminal, change directory 'cd' to where the executable is, and try to execute it manually by typing "./execname" (don't forget the dot slash) that will expose any error messages that are not displayed when you execute through a file manager by clicking on the icon. It's probably a library issue.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Utility Linux version
George, First check the app is 32 bit * ldd - will probably fail * ./exec - probably says No File * File info exec show it is i386 file Add Arch support sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 Followed by sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6Li386 You may need the odd extrac package but you should be on your way (I hope with this) Regards Tim A45WG > On Jun 11, 2018, at 6:26 PM, George Pasek wrote: > > I have been using the Windows version of the KX3 Utility but now that I have > Linux Mint ‘Sylvia’ Cinnamon Desktop edition 18.3 64-bit installed as dual > boot with Windows 7 I want to install the Linux version of the KX3 Utility. > I downloaded KX3UtilityLINUX_1_16_6_25.tgz and extracted it to a Linux > folder.

[Elecraft] KX3 Utility Linux version
I have been using the Windows version of the KX3 Utility but now that I have Linux Mint ‘Sylvia’ Cinnamon Desktop edition 18.3 64-bit installed as dual boot with Windows 7 I want to install the Linux version of the KX3 Utility. I downloaded KX3UtilityLINUX_1_16_6_25.tgz and extracted it to a Linux folder. It has a Help and Kx3util Libs sub directories as well as a Kx3util executable file. If I click on the executable file or attempt to launch it via a desktop shortcut, nothing happens, no errors or warnings. I did read the "Minimum Operating System Requirements for Elecraft Utilities: X86-based Linux: GTK+ 2.8 or later, glibc-2.4, libstdc++.so.6 and cURL. 64-bit Linux requires 32-bit compatibility libraries" requirements, and I also read that my version of Linux is 64 bit but comes with the 32 bit libraries installed and is backward compatible with 32 bit programs. The Help folder has nothing about installation that I saw, and a Google search on Kx3util and Linux was no help. I'm sure I missed something so if someone could point me in the right direction I'd really like to get it installed. tnx for the help. de George WD0AKZ dit - dit --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] KX3 Utility (Linux version)
Hi. OK, KX3 kit has arrived, courtesy of a collegue who traveled to Dayton. (Thanks Tim.) Not even emptied the box yet, as had domestic duties to deal with last night. But, a long weekend coming up, so soon hopefully. In preparation, I've downloaded the KX3 utility from the Elecraft site (Linux version as well as the Windows one.) The Windows version installs and attempts to run, but hangs as it can't see (yet) a KX3 to play with. Not the best policy needing the user to break out Task manager to kill it and regain control of the PC, but... The Linux version, after taking advice from some people with vastly more experience in things Linux, still doesn't run. It's complaining about being unable to find it's lib's. Even starting it as root doesn't help. Also, paths/filenames with spaces in, is a distint no-no in posix based systems in general, also the help folder has a lot of temporary file dross shipped as standard. (That all works in the default browser by the way.) Anyway... So... What is the **EXACT** procedure to Install that Linux version of KX3Utility, in Lubuntu? What files go where, what permisions are needed etc etc. Or, is there an open source version, as building/installing from source is usualy painless, even for me! Though I have Windows machines in the shack, my diminutive Acer portable PC that will inevitably accompany the KX3, is Lubuntu based. 73.
