To refresh our minds a bit- I am trying to run Xastir on a Fluxbuntu computer
with a Celeron processor and 64MB. The issue is that while Xastir (sometimes)
says the interface thru the serial port is up the computer will not talk to the
radio.
I bumped into this while trying to figure something out in Knoppix. We know
that festival is not required to run Xastir... but what is the rest of this and
is it my problem?

Code:
festival_client: connect to server failed
SayText: Couldn't open socket to Festival
Could not read Language file: /home/linux/.xastir/config/language.sys!
Error in language file! Exiting...
Looks to me as if it requres a running festival server. This is easy:
get it with klik://festival and then then launch festival as a server with
Code:
~/.zAppRun ~/Desktop/festival*.cmg festival --server
Besides, it seems to look for a configuration file in
~/.xastir/config/language.sys - and here comes the catch: xastir seems to
replace this file at every run with a symlink (and due to klik's
relocate-patch, this fails). So you have to do manually:
Code:
# unpack cmg
/sbin/fsck.cramfs -x ~/Desktop/xastir ~/Desktop/xastir*.cmg
# create directory
mkdir -p ~/.xastir/config/share/xastir/config
# copy language files
cp ~/Desktop/xastir/usr/share/xastir/config/language-*
~/.xastir/config/share/xastir/config
# delete unpacked AppDir
rm -rf ~/Desktop/xastir/
Now it runs.
Greetings,
