CQRLOG, WSJT-X, ICOM 7300 and 9700 on the same computer

Is anyone successfully running this combination, with both radios running at the same time? I've been trying to get this working for over a week and at this point, I'm looking for help.

I'm running Ubuntu 26.04.

I had the 7300 working flawlessly. I added the 9700 with a second instance of WSJT-X and CAT control was working but I couldn't get any modulation out when transmitting FT-8. I verified I was using the input/output for the 9700 in the seconds instance of WSJT-X. In troubleshooting this, I somehow broke the audio out from the 7300. I even removed the 9700 from the picture and the 7300 still wasn't working right.

I'd really like to contact someone who is successfully running this configuration and see if I can get their input.

I'm afraid to say anything

I'm afraid to say anything and jinx this, but I think have it running.

The WSJT-X instance that is controlling the 7300 is using Hamlib Net rigctl. I ended up setting its audio in to: front:CARD=IC7300,DEV=0 and audio out to iec957:CARD=IC7300,DEV=0.

The WSJT-X instance that is controlling the 9700 is using the 9700 as its "Rig" and the serial port is /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102N_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_IC-9700_12008850_A-if00-port0. Its audio in is front:CARD=IC9700,DEV=0 and audio out is iec958:CARD=IC9700,DEV=0.

I've also configured Ubuntu to not sleep the sound cards.

So far, so good. I've been running like this for a couple of hours. I've been able to turn radios on and off, disconnect and reconnect them, and to reboot. Everything is still working.

Unfortunately, I don't have anyone local for a 2m FT-8 QSO, but I've used another radio to at least verify the audio on the 2m FT-8 transmission is good.

ZL1TA, Please help!

Hi
I am Jeff G6YIQ
i have been trying really hard to get CQRlog running on Unbuntu 26.04 for a few weeks with a limited knowledge of Linux.
The results so far I Can start CQRlog, I can get Mariadb to run (at least Linux says it is running) but CQRlog stalls whilst starting saying that it cannot start mysql or cannot find the log.
I have followed all the advice I can find, loaded mariadb first, loaded CQRlog first but all to no avail.
Can you possibly help me to get this going and perhaps find out where I have been going wrong?
Thank you.
Jeff
