[hpsdr] Still no joy getting ghpsdr to run on Ubuntu...

[Roger and Diana Thompson]

Hello Pete,

I have ghpsdr running on Ubuntu 9.10, but it took me a while to get it 
to work properly.

I copied the already mentioned files--rbf and initozi and I believe also 
every applicable executable, etc that would work with the original 
GHPSDR executable--from the ghpsdr_*3*_, bin folder. (It sounds like you 
copied some of these from your windows directory and I am not sure if 
there would be any difference.) The initozi from the GHPSDR3 directory 
has the i2c writes commented out for janus, but also I believe there may 
be something in one of the original GHPSDR executable files in the bin 
directory that was causing issues. (By the time I got to this point I 
was rather frustrated and wasn't very awake at 4:00AM:-) Needless to 
say, at that hour I wasn't paying as close attention as I normally may 
have been!

After doing this and restarting ghpsdr from the GHPSDR BIN directory, 
the software was able to communicate properly with the Mercury without 
bombing out. If this is succesful, you should hear a familiar relay 
click towards the end of the ozi initialization routine from the Mercury 
board.

As I said it is working, but I have issues with audio 
popping/dropouts/distortion unless I disable all panadapter video 
portions on the screen. Apparently, I need to learn a lot about resource 
managment under Ubuntu to get this to work better.

I hope something here may help.
