Recently upgrade my RPi 4 -> 5.
Decided to move from cqrlog 2.5.2 to "latest": Version Alpha_(137)_
After fixing dependencies, building went smooth and as expected.
I like all new functionality, and I can appreciate all the good work that has gone into this!!!
Detail that is not working: CW interface to my K3NG keyer which is used for both configured radios (FT991/FTDX10).
I wonder if this is related to configuration, as logging seems to miss some details?
My configured port for the K3NG keyer is /dev/ttyACM0 (115200 8N1), but that seems not been used?

A snippet from .config/cqrlog/overall_config.ini:

I hope someone can give me some pointers/advise as how to approach this issue.
Hi!
You can debug only TRX and CW by starting cqrlog from command console:
cqrlog --debug=-8
(try "cqrlog --help" from command console for other debug numbers)
It looks like your device definition is not ok. There is no text after debug line "Device:"
Question: What is file .config/cqrlog/overall_config.ini ?? Never seen that name before! Is this an exported ini file?
Ini files should exist as log numbers only when cqrlog is running. When stopped they are saved to database with other log data:
.config/cqrlog/3cqrlog.cfg
.config/cqrlog/3local.cfg
Ini file for log #3 and local computer based settings (if any) for log #3
From #cqrlog.cfg ini file you should find sections based on rig number(s):
[TRX1]
poll=200
Desc=IC7300
CWR=0
... and so on for Rig #1
[CW1]
Type=4
NoReset=0
wk_port=/dev/cwkeyer
PotSpeed=0
wk_speed=60
... and so on for CW keying for Rig #1
Same kind of sections for all defined rig numbers should exist.
From section [CW] you should find settings for CW memory keys:
[CW]
F1=CQ cq de %mc %mc k
F2=%c %h tu %xrs in %ml
F3=%c %xrs %ml
F4=%xrs
F5=%xns%xm
F6=%mc
F7=tu %xrs
F8=%ml
F9=nr nr
F10=%c de %mc
CapF1=F1-Cq 2x
.... and so on
You can clean up ini files by opening cqrlog to "Database connect" window (at very beginning). There select log in question, do NOT open it but press "Utils" and select "configuration export"
After exported configuration to file you can open it with plain text editor (nano, vi, leafpad .. etc) seek sections "[TRX" and "[CW" and delete them.
Save edited ini to different name (to keep original export as backup)
After that in "Database connect" window select log in question, do NOT open it but press "Utils" and select "configuration import" and choose edited file.
Once done open the log in question and you should see that TRX and CW settings are default (empty). All other settings should keep their values as before.
Reconfigure rig(s) and their keyer(s) and see if that helps.
