OK... that seemed to do something: Console output: pi@kd4izdraws2:~ $ dpkg -l "rpi-eeprom*" Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold |

Jack, Not sure if this worked or not. Guessing it didn't. Some files in your file system are corrupted. As a last attempt do this: dpkg -l "rpi-eeprom*" # Note asterisk at end of rpi-eeprom sudo

Ran the commands and here is the console output: pi@kd4izdraws2:~ $ sudo su root@kd4izdraws2:/home/pi# dpkg -l "rpi-eeprom" Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold |

Basil... Will do as you suggest momentarily. Sorry for the confusion. I am not running synaptic because it never was successfully installed. I have been strictly using the apt-get commands you

Jack, Goal is to fix this problem: dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: files list file for package 'rpi-eeprom-images' contains empty filename Do NOT go back & forth using synaptic &

Hi Jack, Something to try. Use the console commands instead of synaptic so you can cut & paste the output into an email to me. sudo su apt-get update apt-get install --fix-missing apt-get

Thanks Basil, It worked. But when I went to wrap things up for my style of operating with raspbian LINUX, I tried to install synaptic and xscreensaver. Both attempts started by retrieving and failed

Yep. I confirm that's also what I see. This is easily fixed with what I previously posted so will not be releasing a new image for that. The xs_install.sh script already fixes this problem. sudo

Hi Jack, The following is what I did from a clean install of image15 to get Xastir to run. I tried to run Xastir from just a clean install & I received this error: xastir: error while loading shared

I have a 2nd DRAWS unit I use for porta/mobile activities and an SD card that already has the “virgin” image on it. I will give it a try this afternoon and record the results. More to

Thanks Jack. If you can't get xastir to start from clicking the desktop icon then open a console and run xastir from the console. Doing this will display any problems that may be occurring that you

Basil, All, Did I miss a posting about this? Had trouble getting XASTIR to load following the install and configure checklist/instructions in the group Wiki. I finally got a chance (well, was

Just by the way, my board is the one with the sma the same end as the SD card.

Thanks John I have reset the radio, and have used DM to set the ALSA parameters. pi@DRAWS-VK4GC:~ $ alsa-show.sh ===== ALSA Controls for Radio Transmit ===== LO Driver Gain L:[-6.00dB]
