It never caused me any operating issues, but I attempted to correct the reported underflow. I haven't been running WSJT-X all Summer, because I have been doing computer hardware upgrades, and my ham computers HDD's are wiped, but as I recall, using alsa-mixer to mute the 1 unnecessary audio channel corrected the problem, but... I experimented a lot with my OS setup, and in the end I got rid of Pulseaudio. WSJT-X works just fine on a ALSA only setup, that is, no pulseaudio. Again, this is all from recalling my OS installation setup. I am inclined to think that muting the unused audio channel will correct this issue, as Signalink only using 1 channel. I believe. It is also possible that using the Ubuntu 15.04, and later might also correct this issue, I say that because I tend to use the latest and greatest Ubuntu release, currently 15.10, and that has all the latest QT updated software as well. I was using 15.10 this last Spring 2015 with WSJT-X, and I know for certain, I stopped seeing this "underflow" issue reported in the terminal, everything was working perfectly. The latest WSJT-X dev. releases of that time period. I'll be up and running WSJT-X again real soon. I hope this helps. 73, John, N1ISA -- ___ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel

[wsjt-devel] WSPR-2 Segmentation Fault in Linux
Greetings All... I am seeing a WSPR-2 segmentation fault running WSJT-X v1.6.0-devel r5717 in Linux. I am using a custom Ubuntu 15.04 install. I have run countless WSJT-X v1.6.0 devel versions without any issues for many, many months now. I am fairly confident that I ran WSPR-2 without any segmentation faults with r5700, and earlier versions. I updated to r5716 this morning, and was running JT65 without any issues, and then updated to r5717 this afternoon, and attempt to run WSPR-2, but I get a Segmentation Fault at 59 second mark, and also when just changing modes... from JT65 to WSPR-2. I start WSJT-X in a terminal via the command line. All I see is "Segmentation fault" in the terminal. There is no additional details, or information provided. I can also get a segmentation fault when just changing modes, from JT65 to WSPR-2. When I click WSPR-2 I get a immediate crash, with segmentation fault displayed in the terminal. I have not see this issue in any other WSJT-X devel release. I do find it a bit odd, that when I do to re-start WSJT-X. The mode is "JT65", and I see the "Red" frequency box with 14.095 600. I would expect that when I restart, I would be in WSPR-2 mode. I can start WSJT-X in WSPR-2 mode, and I will observe a segmentation fault at second 59 (immediate crash). So, to clarify my bug report: #1 I see a WSPR-2 segmentation fault at second 59 (immediate crash at the 59 second mark). #2 I see a WSPR-2 segmentation fault when just changing modes... from JT65 to WSPR-2 (immediate crash when I click WSPR-2 mode, when I was previously running JT65 successfully decoding). I can run JT65 mode in r5717 without any issues. 73, John, N1ISA -- Don't Limit Your Business. Reach for the Cloud.

[wsjt-devel] FFT Wisdom Calculation/Calibration Quality During Setup
Joe/Bill/Developer's, Yesterday, I did a clean install of my OS, and then did a new build of 1.5.0- devel. When I start WSJTX for the very first time, I immediately go to the "Settings" tab to select, and input my user parameters. I then adjust the Wide Graph parameters, and almost always adjust the audio input slider last. As a result, my Wide Graph is always bright red, reflecting the over driven state coming from my audio input. Yesterday, the new FFT Wisdom calculation/calibration was invoked automatically during my WSJTX user parameters setup routine. Does the over driven stated of my audio into the decoder, effect the quality of FFT Wisdom calculation/calibration? Does the decoder ignore the audio input stream, and just do mathematical calculations, and my misadjustment of the audio has no impact on the quality of the automatic calibration procedure? >From my layman perspective, it does not seem to. Yesterday, I got excellent decode's. All of varying signal strengths. I even got a -27 dB JT65 decode. Still, I am wondering if my FFT Wisdom calculation is the best if could, or should be. 73, John, N1ISA -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.

[wsjt-devel] sysdefault:CARD=CODEC equals freedom from Pulseaudio
Bill, Lately, I've been hacking my Linux audio configuration. To see if I could improve the audio being fed to WSJTX via Pulseaudio. Trying different resample methods used by Pulseaudio. It was my understanding that in the Linux environment, WSJTX required Pulseaudio to run. If I used the Pulseaudio --kill command in a terminal, WSJTX would close. Recently, when I did a svn update, I noticed changes related to the WSJTX "Settings" Audio Soundcard Input/Output selections. That got me thinking that I might be able to break free of Pulseaudio, and send the audio stream from ALSA directly to WSJTX. I have posted on SourceForge that I run WSJTX in a very basic X11 environment. I just need 14 packages in a Ubuntu command line environment to get WSJT up and running. Today, I did a clean install, and left out the Pulseaudio package... and everything works great!!! I did get a message in the terminal: PulseAudioService: pa_context_connect() failed , but it in no way effects the operation of WSJTX. I am glad to be free of Pulseaudio! I think the software engineering of WSJTX is exceptional. I recently broke my 12 decode record. I have made a few 14 decodes (JT65 - single mode only). The decodes pop up really fast! 73, John, N1ISA -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

I also install the fontconfig package, and use a basic .font.conf. The fonts render perfect on my machine.

[wsjt-devel] Bug Report: Wrong Cursor Type in Band Activity and Rx Frequency Text Windows
Greetings All, Bug Report: Wrong cursor type in Band Activity and RX Frequency Text Windows. Expected Action = Arrow cursor Observed Action = I Beam cursor WSJTX Version = 1.5.0-devel r4957 Operating System = Ubuntu Linux with dmz-cursor-theme Additional Information: All other field locations within the Main Window, and the Wide Graph, the expected action of using the Arrow cursor, and/or the I Beam cursor is correct. The I Beam cursor does not effect the ability to double click on a CQ Call and to populate the "Generate Std Msgs" fields, or in any way effect the normal RX/TX function of WSJTX, so in that regard fixing the cursor might be just a cosmetic fix, but when using very small fonts, it might be difficult for some operators to accurately select the correct CQ call in a multiple "stacked" CQ's situation in the Band Activity text window. I have also notice that when "half" of the I Beam cursor is use to select a CQ call, the Generate Std Msgs will be populated with the data from the Band Activity above, or below the CQ call, depending on the I Beam cursor position, i.e., above, or below the intended CQ call that is double clicked. If the operator is not completely vigilant, that would result in very poor operating. 73, John, N1ISA -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.

[wsjt-devel] jt9_opm not seen when using the terminal top command
Hi Joe/Bill/Developers, Last week, when I installed Bill's wsjtx_omp.patch, and ran the Linux command top in a terminal, I would see the PID jt9_omp at the 50 second mark at decode. To keep this post short, and to the point, I recently built WSJTX with Ubuntu 15.04 "Vivid" alpha 2. There are lot's of package updates that seem to me to be very pertinent to building WSJTX in Linux. Even QT5 has been updated. WSJTX builds, and functions perfectly in Ubuntu 15.04. Anyway, I've just installed Bill's r4950 Commit. I do not see jt9_omp anymore when running the top command. It is my understanding that when using a gcc compiler, that OpenMP is built in. Do I still need to apply Bill's patch? Does Commit r4950 turn on OpenMp in WSJTX, except on non-Mac platforms? Or, is this just Bill's effort to setup the future use of OpenMP at a later date? Am I running WSJTX correctly? I would like to run WSJTX-devel, in a Linux environment, in such a way that would expose any useful reportable bugs to the developers. 73, John, N1ISA -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.

[wsjt-devel] Not using when building WSJTX --without-cxx-binding
Bill, You recently answered a post of mine about applying the wsjtx_omp.patch. I used the generic method of using "patch" as you said, successfully. You also commented about me having to use "--without-cxx-binding" to build wsjtx without error. You said that you do not have too, and that you build successfully on all platforms. That got me thinking as to why. What I was able to figure out is that I needed the package "pkg-config". Today, I was looking around the git hamlib repository, to look at your work/commits, to see if I could glean any information to support my determination about needing the package "pkg-config". I found some comments from N0NB that seem to support the requirement of the pkg-config package. When I installed pkg-config, I got a build feedback statement that "hamlib" was found. I have been able to figure out (with your posted information) how to build WSJTX in a very minimal Ubuntu command line setup. The following packages are required: cmake subversion pkg-config svn clang-3.5 gfortran libfftw3-dev git libgfortran3 libusb-dev autoconf libtool texinfo qt5-default qtmultimedia5- dev libqt5multimedia5-plugins libhamlib-dev asciidoc When I do a clean install, I build WSJTX first, and then add the following packages for a window manager environment: xorg xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-input- mouse xterm dmz-cursor-theme ttf-ubuntu-font-family xfonts-terminus fonts- droid lwm alsa-base alsa-utils pulseaudio fontconfig As you can see, I use Intel hardware for graphics. WSJTX 1.5.0-devel runs great in such a environment. I am going to try my WSJTX build, and window manager environment techniques using Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Alpha 2 very soon. I am going to try the cmake option "-D WSJT_SKIP_MANPAGES=ON", so I do not have to install the asciidoc package, due to it's very large size. I thought I would post this information, as it might be helpful to someone building WSJTX also. I have been using Linux for just over 10 years, and in all that time I have never had to post a question about Linux, because someone, some where, has always asked it first, and all you had to do was use Google and search for the answer. WSJTX is different in that regard, in that it is such unique software. So, maybe posting this information here, will be helpful, and in some small way I can give back to this project. Anyway, thanks for answering my post. Your comments have helped me obtain a greater understanding about Linux, and building WSJTX. 73, John, N1ISA -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.

[wsjt-devel] git-apply -v /src/wsjtx/wsjtx_omp.patch
WSJTX Developers... I use the build process posted here a while ago. Recently, I had to add "-- without-cxx-binding", to obtain a error free build. It has worked well for me. Question about applying Bill's wsjtx_omp.patch. I build out of my ~/HOME directory. My WSJTX source code is located at ~/src/wsjtx. If I move Bill's patch into the ~/src/wsjtx directory, and: cd ~/src/wsjtx/ git-apply -v ~/src/wsjtx/wsjtx_omp.patch Bill's patch will be applied to: mainwindow.cpp... and then just build as I normally would, and follow Bill's directions related to the first decode process of WSJTX. Will this work, and apply the patch correctly? 73, John, N1ISA -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.

[wsjt-devel] Ubuntu Package libgomp1 - GCC OpenMP
Greetings All, In Dr. Taylor's recent posting stating his improvements to the decoder performance in the WSJTX Development Branch release r4926, he stated that, "further improvements can probably be made by using more than one core concurrently, e.g., by using OpenMP". I am using the the Development Branch release 4926 in a Ubuntu Linux environment, using the compiling techniques developed by Bill, G4WJS. In Ubuntu Package Repository there is a libgomp1 package... a GCC OpenMP (GOMP) support library. Would the performance improvements stated by Joe, K1JT, in his posting about using "OpenMP", be as simple as installing the Ubuntu libgomp1 package? I do use a i7-4770 CPU Machine, and even from my layman's perspective this might be overkill, by I do enjoy tweaking performance. I have been able to decode 12 signals frequently, and very fast, when all the required variables are in place. My radio's audio passband, and my WSJTX settings do limit my decode performance, but I always wondered if I could decode more signals if present in my passband/waterfall. In my setup, 12 decodes has like a "fixed" threshold that I can not get past. Thanks to all the developer's/contributor's to the excellent WSJTX software. WSJTX has given me countless hours of radio/computer/QSO enjoyment. I recently taught myself how to compile in Linux, and following the WSJTX development branch is much fun also. Truly, Sincerely, Thanks! 73, John, N1ISA -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.

[wsjt-devel] KVASD version 1.12 --Decode test *** PASSED ***
Greetings All, I've been running WSJTX in Fedora FC21. There are .rpm's in the Fedora Copr Repository. I've had to install KVASD manually via the command line, with the required dependencies. Recently, I've noticed a Sourceforge branch that has a Linux KVASD 64bit folder. This morning, I did a clean install of Fedora FC20. I plan on installing WSJTX and WSPR. I am hoping that reverting back to Fedora FC20, I will not have the segmentation fault when running WSPR... as a observational experiment. Anyway... I installed the 64 bit version of the required KVASD dependencies. glibc libquadmath libgfortran libgcc I then copied KVASD, as root via the command line to /usr/bin and then ran chmod 755 /usr/bin I tested the KVASD installation with kvasd and got the copyright, and license statement. I also tested KVASD with kvasd -v and got: KVASD version 1.12 --Decode test *** PASSED *** So there is a 64 bit version of KVASD now??? What is the difference between version 1.11 and 1.12??? Lastly, as a FYI, the WSJTX 1.4 builds from the Fedora Copr Repository worked perfectly in Fedora FC21 with the 32 bit version of KVASD, and the required WSJTX 1.4 dependencies installed. 73, John, N1ISA -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!

[wsjt-devel] WSJTX .deb and kvasd-installer Packages in Official Repositories
WSJTX functions perfectly in a very minimal Ubuntu environment. I can install a 64 bit Command Line Ubuntu installation, and add just 7 packages to get a minimalist display manager going. Ubuntu Command Line Base install plus: xorg twm alsa-base alsa-utils pulseaudio xfonts-100dpi libgfortran3:i386 I use wget to download the WSJTX .deb package, and the kvasd-installer. I use "dpkg -i" and "apt-get install -f" to install WSJT and kvasd, and all the required dependencies are pulled in. I do a little bit of configuring. Add myself to the "audio" and "dailout" groups. Edit my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file to force my USB sound card to use slot 0. I edit my .xinitrc file to open 3 xterm's in twm. One terminal to start WSJTX, another terminal to run ntpdate to adjust the RTC, and another terminal to run alsamixer. When I start WSJTX in a terminal, no errors are reported. WSJTX works perfectly in this environment. You would be wrong to think that the GUI would look plain in such a minimalist display manager environment. The fonts are sharp, and WSJTX looks and functions great! The WSJTX .deb package, and the kvasd-installer package function perfectly in Linux, but from my layman's perspective, I find it very impressive that WSJTX/kvasd-installer installs and functions so well in such a minimalist Ubuntu setup. I did this minimal installation exercise to test and keep up my Linux configuration skills, and and for the fun in doing so, but it did give me a great sense of satisfaction to see the whole process work out so well, and for that I tip my hat, and say "Thank You" to all the developers who have created such a excellent piece of software under the leadership of Dr. Taylor K1JT. I hope this feedback about how well the WSJTX .deb package installs and functions, and that with the creation of the kvasd-installer, that a time- line will be developed to push the WSJTX package upstream in the the official Debian/Ubuntu repositories, because I have always felt that our hobby has been given a "honor" to have distinct, and separate "Ham Radio" listing in the Official repositories of the main stream Linux Distributions. 73, John, N1ISA -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT-X and pulse audio volume level
Hi Richard, You asked, "Is there a way to make sure a consistent name is presented to PulseAudio?" I think I might have a solution that has worked for me. It has even corrected a few minor USB Sound Card issues with WSPR. I have my motherboard sound card disabled in BIOS. I use a USB Sound Card as my default Sound Card. In the alsa-base.conf file I force my USB Sound Card to use slot O. If you open, and edit up /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf you will see the line(s): #prevent abnormal driver from grabbing index 0 options snd-usb-audio index=-2 I edit the number -2 to 0 (zero). My line looks like this: options snd-usb-audio index=0 Also... notice the line at the bottom in alsa-base.conf: #keep snd-usb-audio from be(e)ing loaded as the first sound card options snd-usb-audio index=-2 I edit mine to look like this: #options snd-usb-audio index=-2 I comment out the line with a # then... Reboot. Oh... do not forget to edit as "root", or "sudo". In Ubuntu... sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf This might help you. These edits have helped me with pulseaudio in wsjtx and wspr. If these edits do not work for you, you can revert back to the original alsa-base.conf with your text editor. Give it a try. 73, John, N1ISA -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

[wsjt-devel] WSPR KI7MT .deb Package Segmentation Fault
Greetings, First, I would like to say Thank You for everyone's efforts in making the WSJTX Linux .deb package available. I've run it in custom Debian and Ubuntu environments with zero issues. It gives me great pleasure to use WSJTX in Linux. Thank You! I've have run KI7MT's .deb package for WSPR in Ubuntu successfully also, until this recent version update. With WSPR version 4.0.1-1, I get a program crash with the following error: /usr/bin/wspr: line 42: 1347 Segmentation fault /usr/bin/python3 -0 wspr.py I have also seen line 42: 1438 and line 42: 1472 Segmentation faults. I am using a custom minimal install of Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic) with a minimal Mate Desktop environment. I install the wspr .deb package with dpkg -i and then pulled in the required dependencies with apt-get install -f. WSPR runs fine until "second 55 decode", and then WSPR closes. I see the errors reported in a terminal window. Does WSPR use KVASD? Is this a issue with KVASD, and/or the dependencies required for KVASD to run? I am running a 64 Bit OS, do I need to load libgfortran3:i386? Can I do anything to fix this? Thanks in advance. 73, John, N1ISA -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

[wsjt-devel] Ubuntu Build Error(s) : gzip: man/man1/jt9.1: No such file or directory
Greetings WSJTX Developers, I have used the G4WJS build procedures posted by KI7MT on 24 Aug. 2014 successfully for 2 recent revision updates on my Ubuntu 14.04.1 machine. The WSJTX software worked excellent in Ubuntu! All the previous bugs I had in the Linux environment are gone. The last successful attempt, I just deleted the /build, /local, /src folders in my home folder, and used the ~/.bash_history to build the new revision of WSJTX. Doing the same procedure with the r4257 branch will not work for me. As far as I can tell this is the only error output I get on the terminal command line: gzip: man/man1/jt9.1: No such file or directory gzip: man/man1/jt9code.1: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [manpages/man/man1/wsjtx.1.gz] Error 1 make[2]: Target `manpages/CMakeFiles/manpages.dir/build' not remade because of errors. make[1]: *** [manpages/CMakeFiles/manpages.dir/all] Error 2 Generating Configuration.moc Generating moc_Configuration.cpp Generating moc_Detector.cpp Generating moc_Modulator.cpp Generating moc_about.cpp Generating moc_astro.cpp Generating moc_displaytext.cpp Generating moc_logqso.cpp Generating moc_mainwindow.cpp Generating moc_meterwidget.cpp Generating moc_plotter.cpp Generating moc_psk_reporter.cpp Generating moc_signalmeter.cpp Generating moc_soundin.cpp Generating moc_soundout.cpp Generating moc_widegraph.cpp [ 83%] Built target wsjtx_automoc Linking CXX static library libwsjt_qt.a [ 83%] Built target wsjt_qt make[1]: Target `all' not remade because of errors. make: *** [all] Error 2 make: Target `install' not remade because of errors. Would manually creating the folder /man/man1 in my home folder correct this error, or are new Linux/Ubuntu build procedures required? Thanks, 73, John, N1ISA -- Slashdot TV. Video for Nerds.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Ubuntu Linux WSJTX Build Error Messages

[wsjt-devel] Ubuntu Linux WSJTX Build Error Messages
WSJTX Developers, I followed the wsjtx build instructions that were recently posted. I made good progress until the last 2 procedures. I typed this syntax... cmake -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:PATH=/home/n1isa/local/hamlib -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/n1isa/local/wsjtx/Release /home/n1isa/src/wsjtx I got this error output: CMake Error at manpages/CMakeLists.txt:8 (message): Failed to find a2x which is an optional requirement for non-debug builds on *nix platforms. You can choose to skip manpage generation and this error by setting the CMake option WSJT_SKIP_MANPAGES to ON. This option is designed for those that are building for their own use, package builders should not opt to skip manpage generation since package building requires the manpages. -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! I ignored this error and continued typing the syntax to progress with the build... cmake --build . --target install -- -kj I got this error output: make: *** No rule to make target `install'. I believe the "." is part of the error message, but I am not sure. Could someone please tell me how to correct these errors. This is a copy of the build procedure that was recently posted. All went well for me until the last 2 parts of the build procedure that I typed out. I did have to figure out the correct paths for my Ubuntu installation. mkdir ~/src cd ~/src/ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/u/bsomervi/hamlib u-bsomervi-hamlib cd u-bsomervi-hamlib/ git checkout integration mkdir -p ~/build/hamlib cd ~/build/hamlib/ ~/src/u-bsomervi-hamlib/autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/local/hamlib --disable-shared make && make install cd ~/src/ svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx wsjtx mkdir -p ~/build/wsjtx/Release cd ~/build/wsjtx/Release/ cmake -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:PATH=~/local/hamlib \ -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/local/wsjtx/Release \ ~/src/wsjtx cmake --build . --target install -- -kj Thanks.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Use Device "pcm.p148k" in .asoundrc file
Nick, Thank you for providing me with a explanation about the virtual device driver name, and the links to opens.org., that provide additional information. As to the "problem" I am having... With the Debian/Ubuntu WSJTX package, I have problem with abnormal pulsing/clicking of the TX audio stream during the moment of PTT for about 1 second of TX. I can see these pulses in the VU meter graph that is part of the pavucontrol package. I thought that this TX problem I am having was unique to my various WSJTX hardware setups, but I have heard this abnormal TX "clicking/pulsing" being transmitted by another Amateur too, who I guess was using the Debian/Ubuntu package of WSJTX, while listening to transmissions on 14.076 MHz. I first heard this abnormal clicking TX noise while monitoring my own signal with a nearby Shortwave receiver. Early on in the development of WSJTX, Dr. Taylor suggested that WSJTX users should "listen" to their TX signal utilizing the various suggestions he made at the time. K1JT described them in his change log when a WSJTX upgrade was released. I always had a great signal sound when using the Windows version of WSJTX, but when I tried the Linux version, I notice these "pulses". For a long time, I thought is was just my software/hardware setup, but I have heard another Amateur TX with this clicking/pulsing noise. I only heard it once, from this other Amateur, he must have been using the Linux version of WSJTX. I have tried various radio interface setups, but the only way to stop the TX of this abnormal noise, is to use delay of the PTT for the first second of a WSJTX TX sequence. I also noticed a problem of some sort with the new PPA of WSPR 4.0, and Linux WSJTX. Generally speaking, WSPR 4.0 has functioned perfectly for me, but I installed the Debian/Ubuntu package of WSJTX on the same computer, and this installation broke the ability of WSPR 4.0 (Linux) to connect with pulseaudio. I thought that maybe this "pcm.p148k" .asoundrc file might help to resolve this issue, by telling both WSPR 4.0 and WSJTX what soundcard to use. Anyway, thanks Nick for explaining the technical details of pcm.p148k. I really do appreciate you taking the time to type out a reply to my post. I will investigate those links to opensrc.org with great interest. 73, John, N1ISA -- ___ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
[wsjt-devel] Use Device "pcm.p148k" in .asoundrc file
In a bug report on launchpad for the linux version of WSJT-X, version 1.1
(does not use QT-Audio), AC6SL offer the following advice to correct a sound
card issue.
AC6SL offered this advice...
I was able to make this device work by creating ~/.asoundrc with
this entry in it, and then telling wsjtx to use device "p148k":
pcm.p148k {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:1,0"
format S16_LE
channels 1
rate 48000
}
}
My question is.. what is pcm.p148k?
Is it a unique hardware device? Would I have to determine that "number" for
my setup? Or, is it just general generic software coding statement and I can
use the .asoundrc "as is", other than the pcm "hw:1,0". I do understand that
"hw:1,0" is required to be specific for my setup/hardware/device?
If I do have to find the correct "pcm.p148k" type number... how do I do
that? Use dmesg, or something similar?
One last question(s)... I know I can just copy and paste the above .asoundrc
file to my home folder, but if I was to type it out in a Text Editor, how
important is it to get the curly brackets in the right postions? I am fairly
sure I can type the .asoundrc file to look exactly as shown above, but if I
was off a space, or two, would the .asoundrc file fail to run?
Thanks.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "wspr.py" line 56, in from PIL import Image, ImageTk, ImageDraw ImportError: cannot import name 'ImageTk' I did a Google search for the error message, and read that installing the python-imaging-tk package might help, but it did not work for me. I do a sort of custom install of Ubuntu, nothing special, just install a command line installation with the Network install method, and then install a --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop, and then add a few additional packages to get the installation the way I like it. Anyway... is the error message a coding issue, or is my Ubuntu installation missing some required dependencies?
