openHPSDR 3.4.9 on Linux Mint 21.1 and LMDE5
Posted: Sat May 27, 2023 5:09 pm
Like many others, I have oft wished for a nice Anan client that would run on Linux. I am running an Anan 10e with Protocol 1 firmware, barely an Anan, but none the less a beautiful rig! Yesterday, I began playing at introducing openHPSDR 3.4.9 to Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.1 using Wine 8.01. To my surprise, they played nice together!
The only issue that I ran into was that the User folder, that contains the database, needed to have it's permissions changed to allow openHPSDR write permission to allow it to save configuration changes.
Home/userid/.wine/drive_c/users/userid/AppData/Roaming/FlexRadio Systems/PowerSDR mRX PS/database.xml Permissions must be changed to Read and Write for the file and the folder.
I later tried it on LMDE5 and the install was exactly the same and worked just perfect!
I also tried Thetis 2.9.0.6 and it complained about .Net 4.8 not being installed and the installation died.
I used it on the air this morning to chat with the coffee guys! The move to eliminate Windows here is chugging ahead! It's not Thetis but it's miles ahead of the competition and more than acceptable!
