When it works on my tiny laptop then I'm pretty stretched to get it running in my new and biiig laptop. Lenovo with 3k monitor. Whitout scaling the display shows a realy small presentation.
I can ensure you that all your commands were taken by copy and paste including correcting m311 to m310.
OK. Yesterday evening I was replying with smart phone. You are right. Small displays are bad.
Now when I look your message again from 19" monitor I can see that you have done mistake.
At command prompt you have typed "rigctld" and after "Rig command:" the whole starting command with parameters. Wrong!
If you type just one word "rigctl" and press enter you will get dummy rig (same as -m 1) and it is at 145MHz as default.
Copy next line and paste it to your command console.It is one long line but this forum shows it with 2 or several lines depending of screen size. It will copy ok when you paint it from first "/" to last "t" and then select copy:
Here is example with my icom7300. Note that command line is otherwise same as you must have, but rig model number for me is 373, you must use 310.
You should get text like this:

What ever you get to console copy and paste it all to your message so I can see what was the response text.
Not sure if this is the right place to post or if I should start a new thread. I started this thread almost two years ago and have started having trouble with the same rig. CQRLOG no longer displays the radio frequency. I have changed to Mint 19.1 and had been able to connect just fine, but maybe in the process of doing some update it seems to have broken. Just tonight I updated to CQRLOG ver. 2.4.0 hoping that it would help, but still no luck.
I have gone back through my original communications in this thread and have corrected a few problems. This is where I am at right now:
"cqrlog --debug=1" in terminal gives this response:

"ps ax | grep rigc" in terminal gives this response:

Then "f" gives:

Then"q" gives:

So this appears to me that it is connecting to the radio but not getting the right response? I don't know where to go from here. You have always been great help, so I am sure we can work this out!

From debug it looks like rigctld runs ok, but the rig is not at /dev/ttyUSB0 port.
Other possibility is that your CI-V interface is broken or has poor contact at back side of 706.
Or your rig side settings speed (19200) has changed, or CI-V address is not 706's default.
First check that USB0 is the rig port. Put powers on like just starting to use cqrlog and rig
At command console give:
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
See results. Then remove USB socket where CI-V converter is.
Give again
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
Compare results. Then put CI-V converter back to usb socket and once again give
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
Now you will be pretty sure what port your 706 uses. If it keeps staying in ttyUSB0 that is good.
If it has something else you have to change port at cqrlog.
If it seems that it was USB0 then it went to other port like USB1 it would be best to make "udev symlink" to keep it always in known port.
There are many goof instructions for that. Put words:
udev symlink usb serial
to Google search and see them.
I recommend to do symlink in any case, even if your rig stays at USB0. My rig appears always as /dev/icom7300
If it was not port name study cables and connectors of CI-V line.
If they look good you can check direction from rig to PC with terminal program like minicom or putty:
Stop cqrlog and be sure rigctld is not running by check with ps ax command.
Start minicom or putty to use 19200 baud speed and rig serial port (/dev/ttyUSB0 if it is that)
At rig setup check that TRN is ON (tranceive ON) (see the settings check at next chapter)
Now when you rotate VFO you should get some garbage to minicom (or putty) screen.
That proves something is coming from rig.
After that see your 706 manual how to enter setup mode and there look values of
CI-V address (see manual for default value. rigctld expects rig default but can accept any with external parameter)
Ci-V speed (must be auto or 19200 that is your setting at cqrlog side. I prefer 19200 instead of auto)
TRN oFF (tranceive must be OFF. rigctrld does not like tranceive ON it is meant to connect 2 icom rigs together via CI-V cable)
Readily the next days.

Hi saku,
I take over every command line with copy and paste. I'm to lazy for typing all.
1) Your command "/usr/bin/rigctl…_state=Unset" is exatly taken over to cqrlog.
2) Today I become aware of a notice(?) of cqrlog by starting by terminal:
-----------------------
/usr/bin/rigctl -vvvvv -m 373 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 19200 --set-conf=serial_handshake=None,dtr_state=Unset,rts_state=Unset
----------------------
and then rigctl"d" reports failed to started. Is it right the CI-V Adresse at 4EH? The qouters to explain why do I get on rictld...
To #1: It was necessary to me to turn into su mode. But when it worked.
O.k. now I do see the end comming of the problem.

" To #1: It was necessary to me to turn into su mode. But when it worked."
Everything should work with your user account. NO su, NO sudo!
If you need su then you do not have rights to access serial device. You have to be member of user group that can read and write serial device.

Msg from rig: RPRT -13
"ps ax | grep rigc" in terminal gives this response:
5074 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/bin/rigctld -m 311 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -t 4532 -s 19200
5079 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto rigc
"telnet 127.0.0.1 4532" in terminal gives:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Then "f" gives:
RPRT -13
Then"q" gives:
Connection closed by foreign host.
So this appears to me that it is connecting to the radio but not getting the right response? I don't know where to go from here. You have always been great help, so I am sure we can work this out!

Hi Peter !
From debug it looks like rigctld runs ok, but the rig is not at /dev/ttyUSB0 port.
Other possibility is that your CI-V interface is broken or has poor contact at back side of 706.
Or your rig side settings speed (19200) has changed, or CI-V address is not 706's default.
First check that USB0 is the rig port. Put powers on like just starting to use cqrlog and rig
At command console give:
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
See results. Then remove USB socket where CI-V converter is.
Give again
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
Compare results. Then put CI-V converter back to usb socket and once again give
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
Now you will be pretty sure what port your 706 uses. If it keeps staying in ttyUSB0 that is good.
If it has something else you have to change port at cqrlog.
If it seems that it was USB0 then it went to other port like USB1 it would be best to make "udev symlink" to keep it always in known port.
There are many goof instructions for that. Put words:
udev symlink usb serial
to Google search and see them.
I recommend to do symlink in any case, even if your rig stays at USB0. My rig appears always as /dev/icom7300
If it was not port name study cables and connectors of CI-V line.
If they look good you can check direction from rig to PC with terminal program like minicom or putty:
Stop cqrlog and be sure rigctld is not running by check with ps ax command.
Start minicom or putty to use 19200 baud speed and rig serial port (/dev/ttyUSB0 if it is that)
At rig setup check that TRN is ON (tranceive ON) (see the settings check at next chapter)
Now when you rotate VFO you should get some garbage to minicom (or putty) screen.
That proves something is coming from rig.
After that see your 706 manual how to enter setup mode and there look values of
CI-V address (see manual for default value. rigctld expects rig default but can accept any with external parameter)
Ci-V speed (must be auto or 19200 that is your setting at cqrlog side. I prefer 19200 instead of auto)
TRN oFF (tranceive must be OFF. rigctrld does not like tranceive ON it is meant to connect 2 icom rigs together via CI-V cable)
After these checks, what are the results?
