Moderated Anybody else running TQSL?


Cliff, AE5ZA
 

Thanks for the offer Dave. Yes, please send me the URL. I’ll wait to build, however until a resolution for the uploading of QSOs is resolved.

HamPi which uses Ansible playbooks to build -- is able to build TQSL just fine.

Let me know if you want the URL to the Ansible playbook for building TQSL.

Hi Larry,

Haven’t tried any of the later versions on the Pi. It’s a pain to build, for me at least, so if you have a better way of getting later versions on the Pi I’d appreciate a note. What I have works without a hitch so probably shouldn’t mess with it, I think it is 2.5.3 maybe.

If you find a resolution for 2.5.6 please notify the linuxham list.

Harry,
 
Today I also tried to compile the version that just came out: 2.5.6.  The compilation initially appeared to have gone fine, but TQSL either shuts down unexpectedly or seizes up my session when I try to submit my logs.  I had to ssh in from another PC and kill the tqsl process to get it my session functional again.
 
I've been compiling it for a few years now, and have had no trouble on Debian (currently 10.x, fully patched) until today.  It should be able to compile without an external tool -- and is normally a very simple process (in the readme):
 
cmake .
make
sudo make install
 
Definitely a bug.  I submitted a problem report earlier today to LoTW support.

Paul, thanks.  Yet another indication of a bug on Linux on 2.5.6.  I've submitted a help ticket and a log (tqsl -t) to ARRL and we'll see what happens.

Dave,

Are you running TQSL 2.5.6, or is it 2.5.5?  Version 2.5.5 works fine for us, but 2.5.6 won't upload new QSOs even thought it builds and appears to run fine otherwise on Linux Mint 20 Xfce.

I submitted a report to the TQSL team, but have not yet received a reply from them.

You'll need to be more specific as to which Dave you're talking to ... I'm Dave, W3DJS, and there's also Dave, W1HKJ.

I'm running 2.5.6 on Ubuntu 16.04 and I send the QSL's via command line. This works great for me:

LOTW_LOCATION="W3DJS - Gwinnett County, GA"
ADIF_FILE="${HOME}/.local/share/WSJT-X/wsjtx_log.adi"
TMPFILE=$(mktemp /tmp/adif_log_delta_.XXXXXX.ADIF)
# ... a delta of only new entries to upload is created ...
tail -n ${NEW_LOG_LINES} ${ADIF_FILE} > ${TMPFILE}
/usr/local/bin/tqsl --quiet --batch --nodate --location="${LOTW_LOCATION}" --upload --batch ${TMPFILE}

Dave (W3DJS),

Yes, sorry about the Dave confusion, ha!  However, it is good to know that Dave (W1HKJ) is successfully running it on OSX.  My guess is that there is some incompatibility with the newer version of a network transport mechanism in Linux Mint 20 (based on Ubuntu 20), so am guessing that newer Ubuntu 20 and Debian 10 might also have problems, as Paul (KD0KZE) indicates.

Yes -- just as I mentioned -- there is some difference between our setups allowing one of us to work and preventing the other one of us from working. It's just a matter of narrowing down the variables! (fun, fun...)

Good news!  Rick Murphy (K1MU) posted an update at Sourceforge to fix the crash.  I built and test it on my Linux Mint 20 Xfce system, and it works fine - uploads log entries with no problem now.

Thanks!  In the meantime I received an email from ARRL acknowledging my ticket and letting me know they've escalated the issue.  I do not know Rick, is he a TQSL developer, or just a highly skilled programmer who was able to figure this out?

I got the escalation message also. Looks like 2.5.7 is in the works
according to the directory listing there on SourceForge. I'm willing to
use 2.5.5 and wait for a new point release. Good to know it appears
that they're on top it.

How about posting an Alpha to Omega build process for TrustedQSL on a Pi.  Please include items like installing dev packages for OpenSSL and wxWidgets.

I am able to satisfy all of the TrustedQSL dependencies using either Synaptic or Aptitude.  The process would be much simpler for a Linux tyro if there were build-dep scripts available on the various repositories.  Especially true for the Pi series since we are likely to see many Windows converts trying Linux for the first time.
