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.
Are you using a USB serial adapter?

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
No. The festival thing is just a warning and has nothing to do with the language file. You don't need to run Festival. If you want to get rid of this warning once and for all, get rid of the Festival packages and re-run configure/make/make install, or else keep the packages and run "./configure --without-festival". The warning is harmless though as-is. If you _want_ to run Festival, that's fine too but it's not necessary.
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/
Interesting. Yea, we create symlinks to the proper language files for language.sys and help.dat. This is so one can switch languages for the menus and help text from English to one of the other supported languages. I was unaware of this causing problems, but it looks like you're using a compressed filesystem and the symlinks are getting created pointing to the wrong place? This might be something we could fix in the code if it were explained well enough to us. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
