Install Cqrlog with MariaDB to Ubuntu 22.04

Made a script that installs official version 2.5.2 of Cqrlog to Ubuntu 22.04 without using installation packet that wrongly installs Mysql instead of needed MariaDB.

Script installs first needed dependencies (as packets) and then installs Cqrlog from cqrlog.com/Download /cqrlog_2.5.2_amd64.tar.gz
By installed this way system updates can not roll over this install as it does not show up in installed packets list.

Script can also update installed official version right away to latest CqrlogAlpha (unofficial version) if user wants so.

Changing my sign-in

I have just been signing in under my previous call sign. A couple of years ago, I finally decided to get a U.S. Vanity call sign before the FCC started leveeing the $35 fee. The call sign is my late father's call sign, W5OXL. It is much easier to use for CW than WD5HHH (which has 19 dits in a row). I so far have found there is no way to do this. I tried to create a new account but the email address would be the same and the website refused to let me do it. What can be done?

Installing CQRLOG with existing database in Ubuntu

I had to keep the subject short. My current version of Ubuntu 22.04 has "issues". I have upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04 and then to 22.04. I bought a new hard drive and loaded 24.04 on it. I have been using Mariadb for CQRLog as well as for my Wordpress blog which I host on the same computer. I moved my database files over and installed Mariadb. When I went to install CQRLog from the Ubuntu repository, the installation removed my Mariadb and installed Mysql. How can I install CQRLog without the installation doing this?

Hamcall call sign database

Is Hamcall callsign database being considered for inclusion in CQRLog?

If not, please consider adding it.

Thank you

TMySQL57Connection

Hello,
The topic has been discussed. After a few QSOs added to CQRlog, I end up with this message:

TMySQL57Connection : Error executing query: Server has gone away.
Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption.
Press Abort to kill the program.

Linux Mint 2.13 up to date Cinnamon 6.0.4
CQRlog Alpha 132 GtK2
Server version: 10.6.18-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 Ubuntu 22.04
The problem is random. Am I the only one in this case? Do you have a solution. I did some research on the internet but the problem persists.

CQRLOG and CWDAEMON

Hello
I'm trying to make cqrlog (Ver. Alpha (131) Gtk2) cooperate with cwdaemon.

So far everything works fine in Ubuntu 22.04 but not in any other system).
Currently testing in Fedora 40. Zero keying.
The current settings in Ubuntu 22.04 are:
File /etc/default/cwdaemon

# /etc/default/cwdaemon
# OK1ZIA 17 Aug 2004

# /etc/default/cwdaemon
# OK1ZIA 17 Aug 2004

#
# Start cwdaemon at boot? yes or no
START_CWDAEMON=yes

QTH profiles

I understand that QTH Profiles are mainly used for filtering, but what's the reasoning behind requiring a valid locator for QTH profiles? As far as I can see, there is no way to export locator/qth/rig to files like ADI. It also does not seem to set "my_loc" (not sure what even sets that particular field)

Just a hint for using alternative HamLib (FAQ)

Hi, All
Rencently, I made a new HamLib - ver4.6 - taken from github onto my Raspberry pi 4B.
Unfortunately it didn't run w/ CQRLOG smoothly but fix to run w/ the procedure below:

1. Close current running CQRLOG

2. Edit CQLOG desktop icon property file (put "env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/install-your-hamlib-libs" into "Exec" line)
# vi /usr/share/applications/cqrlog.desktop
...
Exec=env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib cqrlog
....

3.Re-Run CQRLOG (ie. run CQRLOG via icon)

Mermbership list

I have updated the SKCC members list, where can be uploaded or send for other users of CQRlog?

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS demands mysql instead of mariadb

Hi folks,
... being not so deep into the system mechanics, I am facing the following problem with my upgrade from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS:

When installing cqrlog, mariadb gets removed and mysql installed instead. - However, for some reason the mysql installation failed. So it took me quite some time to remove & cleanup mysql again afterwards.

How can I install cqrlog using mariadb as before? Having mariadb installed beforehand did obviously not work, as the (ubuntu-stock) package apparently did require mysql-server explicitly.

Newbe with Ubuntu and error message saying MySQL could not get started. Please check if MySQL installed properly

Not getting STATE in qrz lookup

I'm using cqrlog with WSJTX in Remote mode - I usually get STATE entered normally, but today every time it seems to not bring in the STATE. Please help. Tnx 73

Callsigns from WSJT-X automatically show in the CQRLog "Call" field

Linux Mint 22.
CQRLog: version alpha_(130)_Gtk2
WSJT-X: version 2.7.0-rc3

In previous versions (2.6.0_001) of CQRLog and WSJT-X, and while CQRLog was running in "Remote mode for wsjt CTRL+J" anytime new callsigns were decoded in WSJT-X running ft-8 mode, the "Call" field in CQRLog would remain empty, until I specifically double clicked on a callsign to work in WSJT-X. Then the "Call" field in CQRLog would populate and everything worked as expected.

MySQL not starting

First off I am a Linux beginner and a total hack job, but I'm learning. I am running Fedora version 40, 64 bit.

I installed CQRlog and it wouldn't start, I searched my error and found I needed to delete ~/.config/cqrlog folder. This got the program working. Fast forward a few days and I am in the middle of updating a qso with a confirmed qsl. CQRlog froze and I got this error. Error during connection to database: TMySQL57 Connection : Server connect failed.

Can't get voice keyer to work

Hi,

I have read https://www.cqrlog.com/node/3462 and it says:

Most common reasons that come in to my mind are that your script has no exec bit, but if you can run it from command line and it works, then next is your rig is not on phone mode.
Or at least Cqrlog does not know it.

Do you have right mode at NewQSO mode, and also TRXControl has red text in some of phone mode buttons?
Start Cqrlog from console:
cqrlog --debug=1
And you should find these lines when you press a F-key:

Saving my Layout

I have my setup with 2 monitors. I use the left for FLRig, WSJT-x with waterfall, and a terminal window if I need one. I use the right monitor for CQRLOG qso list and the New QSO window. The problem I have is when I start CQRLOG it defaults back to the QSO list on the left monitor and the New QSO window on the right monitor. Is there a way to save my layout so it starts the way it was when I last ran it, or the way I saved it?

SOLVED - HELP - Reinstalling cqrlog on Ubuntu 24.04

This week I upgraded my PC from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 but cqrlog that was installed was no longer available. I tried to run it through the terminal but it was not recognized.
The cqrlog folder exists and I have a backup of my logs. When I tried to install through Synaptic, I suspended the installation because I was warned that the following packages would be removed:

Update to CQRLOG 2.6.0 Alpha 130

Good evening,

I've just updated my CQRLOG installation to above mentioned Version on Ubuntu Mate 22.04.3. At this time there are no open issues and all things seems to run properly. Thank you for sharing this software with us and have a nice day.

CQRLOG AND TWO RADIOS

Hello to the whole group. I use cqrlog version 2.5.2 on an arch distro. I use two radios a FT3000DX and a FT991A. Used individually I have no problem, but when both are turned on the USB port references (/dev/ttyUSB*) are changed every time. I tried to assign names to the ports with udev rules but a radio the FT3000 works while if I switch to the 991A the PTT is activated immediately. I'm forced to use one radio at a time, if I turn one on I have to turn the other off. Does anyone have a tip for me on how to fix this problem.
