[Elecraft] Linux and K3 Utility
Running Linux Ubuntu with the K3 Utility and to perform some of the functions the mouse cursor must be positioned above the specific button for it to operate. The button will not function when the cursor is in that specific button. It is my understanding that Dave Fleming wrote a command for this glitch. Anyone know where I can obtain this? thanks john __ 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

John, I don't see this behavior using Oneiric with latest updates and K3 Utility v 1.4.1.8. Maybe double check revisions of your software?

Re: [Elecraft] Linux and K3 Utility
Do you run a nvidia linux driver? try nomodeset in kernel boot line. To set kernel boot options, you must edit your grub configuration. You can do this temporarily for a single boot by entering the grub menu. If you do not get to see the grub boot menu after the bios automatically, you may have to press SHIFT key after the bios logo to get in to grub: Select the default ubuntu kernel (usually the top one), and rather than pressing enter, press E to edit. Press DOWN ARROW until you get to the line that starts with Code:linux /boot and press END keys to position your cursor at the end of the that line usually ending with “quiet splash”. Now you can type in additional kernel option: nomodeset Press control+X to boot the modified grub entry To permanently change the default kernel boot options, press ALT+F2 or open a terminal from system accessories terminal. Type in the following command: Code: gksudo gedit /etc/default/gruba text editor will open with the grub configuration file. Near the top of that file you will see something very similar to this: Code: GRUB_DEFAULT=0 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2 /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=add your custom boot options to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line, so for instance: Code: GRUB_DEFAULT=0 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2 /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash nomodeset GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=Save the file and exit gedit. If you have to add kernel options that contain quotation marks, add them as such: Code: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash nomodeset acpi_osi=\Linux\Now in the terminal, run the following command to update your grub configuration with the new default settings: Code: sudo update-grub Adrian ... vk4tux -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Linux-and-K3-Utility-tp7395772p7397425.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.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
[Elecraft] Linux/Mac K3 utility updates?
Since this seems to be gripe day, allow me to toss one more on the pile. :-) I note that it would appear that the Linux and Mac versions of the K3 utility are becoming third class citizens. The Windows version has been updated as of January 8 but the Linux and Mac versions still languish at Sept 2, 2010 releases. I know of at least one important bug that breaks the macro assignments in the stable Linux K3 utility that was fixed by a test release sent to me by the author. This fix still has not been released generally. What is the issue? Is it time? Does the author need help? Is there a reason the development project isn't open so those of us unafraid of testing development software could help and provide valuable feedback and code fixes? Count me as a bit frustrated that the utility for my chosen OS is now over six months old. 73, de Nate -- The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
