locked Error decoding WSPR on Linux (v2.5.1) #linux #WSPR
|
manuel.schrape@...
Hello,
When decoding WSPR on Linux, WSJT-X tries to save the .wav file in a directory /home/<username>C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/WSJT-X/save which does not exist and instead of in the save directory where other modes save their files. Manuel, DD6ZJ

The "C:/Users/<username>/AppData" . . . is pure Whinders manure, and should not be ther on a *nix box . . . /<Homedir>/.wsjtx/save (or similar) would be far more appropriate . . .

The right directory would be /home/<username>/.local/share/WSJT-X/save
The save directory is the right place but the path to the WSJT-X directory where the save directory is located isn't correct when saving WSPR data.

You assume that all user are in /home . . .

That is an *incorrect* assumption! And I can't ever recall seeing anything use ".local/share" . . . that is just more excessively long path nonsense . . . How about a default at install (relative to whatever the users home directory is . . ), and the ability to set to whatever is desired if that isn't satisfactory?

What distors have you run WSJT-X on?

( Doesn't matter really as you can confugure the location yourself )

Slackware . . . 14.2 at the momemt (although it has evolved enough to almost be my own . . . I update via source compiles, not suboptimal pre-built stuff . . )

Hi Manuel and Kari,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Manuel says "Linux" and has a "Windows" save path... I doubt if the slashes shown would have been back slashes... In WSJT-X do: File > Preferences > Audio and click at the right side from the path found there on the "Select" button and create a folder in /home/manuel/wstjx-audio That is, if your Linux home directory contains that folder as your personal one. My Linux Mint path shows as: /home/peter/wsjtx-audio If, on the other hand your are using a windows version of WSJT-X and run it via wine you are doing something you should definitely NOT do. WSJT-X has a native Linux version available on the nome page of K1JT... The next thing you would have needed to say was WHICH Linux version do you use and do you understand the differences of file management under Linux and Windows? 73, Peter Op 29-06-2022 om 15:54 schreef Karza:

Kari is right, that is the default directory used by WSJT-X.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
But YOU can change that to anything appropriate to you, provided you have the proper rights. Using a hidden folder like /.local is a bit odd maybe, but, for it is in your own /home/username folder and you have read/write rights there, you can access it... 73 Peter Op 29-06-2022 om 20:56 schreef Karza:
