Hi Patrick, I need more information to troubleshoot and duplicate this issue. a) What flavor and version of Linux? b) Raspberry Pi? When I tried this on Xubuntu 24.04, I noticed that the first time one starts fldigi, there is an option to setup hamlib. Click "use hamlib" and setup those fields. I have noticed that in the Fldigi Configure -> Config Dialog menu, there is no specific entry related to hamlib as was seen during the initial configuration. Do you see the same thing? As an experiment, move...

FLDigi does not show Hamlib as a option.

Hi Scott, No worries - I can't throw stones about being too analytical. :-) I shall make those changes in the next version of AHRL (probably April 2026). Please let me know if you have other issues. I'm also curious to know, after you use AHRL for a while, if you like it. Many thanks and 73, Andy KB1OIQ ..

Looking at my screen shot i don"t see where i typed andy_VERv26e.tar.gz i see where i typed andy_VER26e.tar.gz and as it turns out it should have been andy_v26e.tar.gz but the install instructions made it look like i should type andy_VER26e.tar.gz and that was confusing if the VER was supposed to be just v not a big thing and i was happy with the quick response and your attention to this matter. very new to Linux but i had Ubuntu ten years ago for about a year.

Hi Scott, First of all, I cannot know with certainty the directory which contains your downloaded file. Most probably it is in your download directory.

Hi Marvin, Thanks for trying AHRL, and thank you for your feedback. The sound issue isn't specific to AHRL. I've seen a LOT of references to it on the internet. I created fix_sound in the hope that, while a bit inconvenient, it would work. It works for me and many others. I agree that the sound issue is a nuisance. fix_sound will only work if your Linux flavor is using the ALSA sound system. I don't recall what Linux Mint Cinnamon is using.

I installed AHRL on a Dell Inspiron laptop, Intel Core i5 running Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2, Linux Kernel 6.14.0-32 generic. This was a fresh Mint install, and I noted it had working sound drivers for the laptop's built-in audio, as well as an attached HDMI display before I installed AHRL. The AHRL install itself went smooth as glass. However, only the Dummy sound driver was listed afterwards. The "fix sound" in the Mint menu does bring back the sound drivers, although it has to be rerun after a reboot....

Hi Frank, My guess is that CPAN had a hiccup during your installation of AHRL. It sounds like you did the troubleshooting of the "AHRL" messages to determine that it was installing aa_analyzer when this happened. Kudos! For any program, changing "INSTALL_whatever" from 1 to 0 will disable the installation of the "whatever" program. aa_analyzer is a Perl script that I wrote years ago that extracts data from the older (non-Zoom) models of the Rig Expert antenna analyzers. This functionality has been...

Hi Andy, I'm running Linux Mint 22.1 Xia (base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble) on a Dell Inspiron 3531 with 4 GB of RAM. I'm a long time linux user and a retired programmer (so, you can get technical on advice). My installation seems to hang on: fetching with HTTP::Tiny: https://cpan.org/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz If I edit the install script and set INSTALL_AA_ANALYZER=1 to 0 - will this just bypass that part of the script? And, is this a piece of software that I really need? Frank

Hi, I'm having the same problem as Ian, where clicking on a mounted drive that has an icon on the desktop opens Chirp with [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/home/al'. This also happens with WSJT-X when trying: File -> Open log directory. Installed the latest AHRL, on Linux Mint 22.1, Cinnamon v: 6.4.8, Dell Precision 3650 Tower. Any help, clues, ideas are appreciated. Thanks, Al

Hi Andy, Everything downloaded and installed just as you described. I'm a linux newbie as well as a former ham (WA2DCS) from 1958-1968.

Hi Terry, The Linux command line is sensitive to the "current working directory". Commands will only work on the files in the current working directory unless explicitly stated otherwise. Typing the "pwd" command will "print" the working directory, that is, the name of the working directory will appear on the screen. The command line defaults to the home directory, but can be changed via the "cd" command. My guess is that the downloaded file was not put into your home directory. Quite likely, it...

Please note that file names in Linux are case sensitive.
