Hello,
Very Interested by CQRLOG, I installed it on an UBUNTU JAUNTY 9.04 - GNOME with cqrlog_install.sh.
I installed libhamlib-utils package (apt-get install libhamlib-utils) and libstdc++5 with success.
CQRLOG features worksbut very slow (more than 1 minute after first screen (bug paddle)) to see others menus. and when I enter a call, it appears after 20 seconds.
a 'ps -aux' indicates 95 % of CPU used by CQRLOG.
My computer settings are : PENTIUM III 500 Mhz, 256 Mo RAM. Others applications run well (firefox, the gimp).
So, I decided to install a lighter distribution like DEBIAN LENNY with XFCE Graphical Desktop.
I partitioned my disk and re-installed CQRLOG like above. All is fine, but CQRLOG is very slow again. (no QSO enter, no preference) Here my terminal dump with CQRLOG in debug mode :
f8ehj@f8ehj:~/cqrlog$ ./cqrlog
Starting CQRLOG ...
RootDirectory = /home/f8ehj/cqrlog/
RootDirectory = /home/f8ehj/cqrlog/

ExternalFileAccess = Restrict /home/f8ehj/cqrlog/log_data

Thanks for your help.

The accompanying problem is probably the abonormally high CPU load. The problem is instant polling of non-existent (not responding) radio. Your radio setup is probably incorrect, possible a mess in the cqrlog.cfg. Try to downoad a default cqrlog.cfg from here and copy it into your /cqrlog/log_data folder. Backup before your old cqrlog.cfg if you want. The default cqrlog.cfg redirects all polling to the hamlib dummy radio (model=1] and the high CPU load should return to its normal values.
Then you should set up your radio again. Don't use a too low poll rate, a value of 300 is sufficient.
Hello,
Thanks for your help,
It works better now and CPU charge is low.
However, I haven't radio control interface, so it is usefulness for me.
Can I keep this file ? and modify preferences for windows, etc...
Thanks again,
