First try opening a console then run tqsl. This may give you more
information about why the program is failing.

Works perfectly here....mint17 mate.

But, I do backup all my important files to a USB stick everyday at 8 in
the morning and that includes .tqsl. Eliminates a lot of problems.

I'm seeing a similar problem. I start TQSL and click on the "Create a new Station Location" button and it just crashes and closes. No error message, no warning. It won't let me us my new certificate until I update the station location, so basically, it isn't working.

I'm using version 2.0.2 which came from a repository. I see there is a version 2.0.3, so I figured, okay, I can build it.


I have not been able to tqsl-2.0.3.tgz and make it into something Debian that I can install.


Being a serious newbie, what would be the proper steps to take to use the tgz file and make it into something that I can use in LinuxMint 17. I've tried and failed too many times already.


Thanks


Dennis


PS: can anyone recommend a good book for the basics of using Linux for someone that knows nothing? I've read two so far, but both talked about system management, nothing about building kits that work.

[Dave Wright [e-mail] [linuxham]]

Are you on LinuxMint or Debian?

If LM17, then try this:

Try this:

- Go to the command line/terminal.
- Type: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-hams-updates/ppa
-
​ Type: sudo apt-get update
- Type: sudo apt-get install trustedQSL

See if that gets you up and running.

There is a lot of great software in this repository beyond TQSL. Check out
the full list at
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-hams-updates/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

It makes installing and updating a breeze.

Thanks Dave. Unfortunately, I think the repository has the same version that I have currently installed, 2.0.2

The terminal:
$ sudo apt-get install trustedQSL
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
trustedqsl is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 63 not upgraded.


This is why I wanted to figure out how to actually build it on my LM 17 system.

You could always remove your non-working version and reinstall from the repository. It **MAY** fix something.

tqsl 2.0.3 is available in Debian Testing (aka "Jessie").

You could try downloading the source files from
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/trustedqsl. You'll need the the
*.dsc, *.orig.tar.gz, and *.debian.tar.xz files listed in the right hand
column.

And then building a local package following the instructions at
https://www.debian-administration.org/article/20/Rebuilding_Debian_packages
except for the source download instructions. In your case what you'll
want to do is:

1. Put the 3 source files in a build directory

2. Unpack the source with:
dpkg-source -x *.dsc

You should be able to follow the rest of the instructions.

Thanks Steve:

Just to prove how much of a newbie I am, I can't figure out how to get those files to download. If I "left click" on them, the open up as a web text file. If I "right click," I get a menu, but nothing that offers to download.


I tried, using a terminal screen, but couldn't figure out the proper address to use to use FTP the files. Then I tried to use a GUI, FTPcube http://ftpcube.sourceforge.net/download.html, but failed to get that to install as well. It says on the Sourceforge page: "To install FtpCube, simply run :
python setup.py install" I tried that and it bombed, I figured out that "Python" is installed, by default, in LinuxMint 17, but couldn't figure out how to make that work either. It says, "simply run," but I would argue that point. I could start Python and got the >>> prompt, but failed badly.


I have a copy of TQSL-2.0.3 on the system, but just can't figure out how to build it. I feel like such a babe in the wood, especially after working on UNIX systems for at least 20 years. How frustrating.


Thanks for trying anyway. I guess I'll just have to wait for it to show up in a distribution, or find a book that explains how to properly do these things.

It will not install on Mint17, you need a newer version of libc6, and
upgrading that opens a whole new can of worms.

"Save file as" is what you want.

I'm sorry Ed, I totally blew it. When I right-clicked my skipped right over "save link as..." I've been bitten by this before. Chrome doesn't offer it as "save file as," and my mind skips right over saving a link, I don't want to save a link, I want to save a file.

Dumb me! I think I'm just too exhausted, I've been working on another project and spent about 120 hours on it, just last week and it has taken it's toll. Guess I should cut back a little, not good when trying to learn something.

Anyway, I think you indicated in another reply that it won't work with Linux Mint anyway, is that correct?

I guess the bottom line is: How do I install the latest TQSL-2.0.3, that seems to be a real puzzle to me. Either that, or, what is wrong with 2.0.2 that it dies when one tries to add a new station location?

Thanks all.

That will save the file. A little misleading at best.

No it will not. You have one library that is not current that it relies on.

I would suggest that you delete the .tqsl file and start fresh.

ftp is installed by default in mint17 or you could use gftp. Both are in
the repository.

Hi Steve:

Am I doing things in the incorrect order here, or is something missing? I'm using the guidelines on the page you gave a link to: Rebuilding Debian packages.


Here is the terminal session ( I tried it using 2.0.3-1, same result):

You don't use the version # in the build-dep command, just the package
name:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep trustedqsl

The above means that dpkg could not verify the signature on the package
description file (*.dsc).

If you wish to verify the signature you'll need to at key 38C9D903 to
your keyring. You may do this with the following command:

$ gpg --recv-keys 38C9D903

Then rerun the unpacking process.

>01-install-libtqsllib-so-in-usr-lib-trustedqsl.patch
>dpkg-source: info: applying 02-wx3.0-compat.patch

The above means that the source was unpacked and prepared for the build
process.

You should now be able to:

$ cd trustedqsl-2.0.3 && sudo debuild -us -uc
