Hi Folks:I didnt realize that this list and the IRC channel were connected. Its probably listed someplace and I just plain MISSED it -- LOL
I appreciate your willingness to help me with my issue. Its kinda at a standstill right now.
I am running Kubuntu 15.04 (I THINK, its either that or 15.10) (yes, I realize the differences between kubuntu and ubuntu, but I havent found a kubuntu-hams list yet). and I have been using N1MM Logger under wine with it. it works good, except that I cannot get the radio to talk with the computer (Im using the old version of N1MM b/c the new one wont even start under wine for me (I suspect there is some sort of ODBC driver missing. The computer is in the ham-shack with no internet, so its a pain to drag it up here to plug it in, but I'll do that one of these days.)
Anyway, I was messing around with it today, and discovered (From a forum) that I had to symbolically link the /dev/ttyUSB0 file and /home/tim/.wine/dosdevices/com1 to each other. Now i have "partial" communications. By clicking on the band map, i can sometimes get the radio to respond, but its not bi-directional, and N1MM keeps timing out and popping up a box saying to reset the radios. SO I am looking for any further input that you all can add. Including info on getting N1MM+ working under wine. The machine is a Pentium 4 2.3 GHZ with 1 gb memory and 120 gb hdd. I use CQR log for day to day logging (because I cant keep DXKeeper working right) and N1MM for contesting, (Because TLF just DOESNT get it for me)
THanks for any and all help you can add TIM W8TAH On 1/29/2016 12:48 PM, Joey STANFORD wrote:
Hi, I've noticed for a while now we're doing poorly at answering help questions on our IRC channel. I suspect part of that is because the exam bot is popular with AC6SL. :-) After attempting to answer a question for W8TAH I noticed far up in the log there were some messages from KM4KQW and a missed question from KG5KFD. As I started scrolling back into November I saw a lot more unanswered questions. So I'd like to kick of a discussion about how to fix this. My initial two reactions are: 1) Perhaps we should consider moving the exam bot to a sub-channel, e.g. #ubuntu-hams-hamexam. That would help us not lose sight of the help requests that come in. 2) Perhaps we should consider creating a bot on the channel that would act like a doorbell. We could put some instruction in the channel entry message that says "if you ask a question and get no reply in 20 minutes, type in !helpme" and the bot will highlight a bunch of people in the channel. There's probably a MUCH better way to do this. Honestly I've not had much success with bots like this but I don't have any other supportive ideas. Thoughts?
