Hi.
OK, KX3 kit has arrived, courtesy of a collegue who traveled to Dayton.
(Thanks Tim.) Not even emptied the box yet, as had "domestic duties" to
deal with last night. But, a long weekend coming up, so "soon"
hopefully.
In preparation, I've downloaded the KX3 utility from the Elecraft site
(Linux version as well as the Windows one.)
The Windows version installs and attempts to run, but hangs as it can't
see (yet) a KX3 to play with. Not the best policy needing the user to
break out "Task manager" to kill it and regain control of the PC, but...
The Linux version, after taking advice from some people with vastly more
experience in things Linux, still doesn't run. It's complaining about
being unable to find it's lib's. Even starting it as root doesn't help.
Also, paths/filenames with spaces in, is a distint no-no in posix based
systems in general, also the help folder has a lot of temporary file
dross shipped as standard. (That all works in the default browser by the
way.)
Anyway... So...
What is the **EXACT** procedure to "Install" that Linux version of
KX3Utility, in Lubuntu? What files go where, what permisions are needed
etc etc.
Or, is there an open source version, as building/installing from source
is usualy painless, even for me!
Though I have Windows machines in the shack, my diminutive Acer portable
PC that will inevitably accompany the KX3, is Lubuntu based.
73.
