Paul Sladen almost had it! If you don't have osspd installed, go ahead and install it. sudo apt-get install osspd
If you don't yet have the .xdemorserc file, go ahead and copy it from /usr/share/doc/xdemorse/ to your users home directory. cp -a /usr/share/doc/xdemorse/xdemorserc ~/.xdemorserc If you aren't controlling a FT847 OR FT857 transceiver than change that option to NONE in ~/.xdemorserc sed -i -e 's/^FT847$/NONE/' ~/.xdemorserc Then you can run xdemorse and it should run fine, at least it is for me in 14.04 Best Regards -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661963 Title: xdemorse is useless out of the box To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdemorse/+bug/661963/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
