Start up goof

I have the server box on start up and can't get any further. I may have missed the choice to be local. How do i recover the first time start up window? Using hampi on a raspberrypi. TNX W3BL

Hi !

There is checkbox "Save log data to local machine" use it to get local.

If you want clean start like in first start up delete ~/.config/cqrlog folder. NOTE! YOUR LOGS WILL THEN BE DELETED!

Start up goof-Hamlib

TNX for the instruction on the start up goof it worked.
Every things worked except rig control through Hamlib. Hamlib now requires new #s for the rigs. 1035 instead of 135 for the FT991. CQRLOG siill used the old #s. I updated CQRLOG to the latest and it created an new directory. Does Hamlib and CQRLOG need to be in the same directory

Start up goof-Hamlib

Hi!

Cqrlog will use old rig number if it is found from old settings. To fix it you have to go preferences/TRXControl and reselect your rig.
This problem should not exist if you install latest cqrlog and hamlib and make first time startup having ever used cqrlog before.

This can also happen if your linux makes update and loads new hamlib that causes this rig model number change. Then just select again your rig model from preferences (as info for other users reading this)

Hamlib and it's program "rigctld", that cqrlog uses, can be anywhere in file system. User just have to make "path to rigctld" valid at preferences/TRXcontrol if cqrlog is required to start rigctld (checkbox "run rigctld at program start").
But if rigctld is started from elsewhere: Manually from console by user, or from PC startup or crontab started by script cqrlog just needs to know the IP address and Port number (usually localhost that is 127.0.0.1 as numbers and port 4532):
But rigctld can run even on other networked computer. Then cqrlog just needs the IP addres of that computer (instead of localhost) and port number (that defaults to 4532). In that case also firewall of rigctld PC must allow access from cqrlog PC.

Hamlib # change

Sorry to be a pain. The load of the latest version of CQRLOG 2.5.2 has the old hamlib numbers in the list so there is no choice for new numbers. Is there a file that can be commented out?
The only install methods i can find are Mike Richards G4WNC and Hampi. Both start with CQRLOG version 2.3 and then upgrade. Are there instructions which will install the new version and all necessary dependents?
Thanks for your assistance.

Hamlib # change

HI!
Latest cqrlog 2.5.2 creates rig and rot selection lists "on fly".
If you have old hamlib numbers will be as old system is. If your hamlib is new numbers follow that.
You should open rig selection list at preferences/trxcontrol and select again your rig from list.(even when it is already there). Then close preferences with OK.

Could it be that you have two rigctlds ?

Open console issue command:
whereis -b rigctld

You should get something like:
[saku@hamtpad ~]$ whereis -b rigctld
rigctld: /usr/bin/rigctld
[saku@hamtpad ~]$

If there are several "rigctld:" lines check each version with command:
/usr/bin/rigctld --version

You get something like:
saku@hamtpad ~]$ /usr/bin/rigctld --version
rigctl Hamlib 4.2~git

Use all names and paths from your "whereis" command lists. When you find newest version place that path to preferences/trxcontrol/path to rigctld
