RPi logging software?

[Terry Myers]

I have been trying to get CQRlog to run on RPi, no-joy.  Using Raspbian
Stretch OS and would like to keep it.  CQRlog does not seem to like
Debian OS.  This is my first venture into Linux OS so it may well be the
Operator. Hope to get other Ham programs to run as well.  If you have
CQRlog running on Raspbian, please share the process.

Is there another logging Linux program that does work well under Stretch?

I do have plenty of WIN machines around but that is not the way I want
to go for this project.

Thanks for the constructive help in advance.

Regards,

Terry, KQ5U

I see from its download page, that CQRlog is only for the RPi3.  As far
as I know, it is not in the Debian/Raspbian repositories.  If your Pi is
older, you may want to ask on the CQRlog forum:

       https://cqrlog.com/forum/4

and see if someone has built a version for the Pi 1 and 2 versions.

There is the classic xlog which is in the repositories and klog which
requires the Qt libraries.

Terry,

The RPi uses an ARM processor, not an x86/x64 processor. Make sure there's
a version of CQRLog compiled for that processor.

I have CQRlog running on a couple of RPI's.  All of the RPIs I have CQRLog
running on are indeed RPI 3's connected to my KX3.  I was able to get
CQRLog 2.2 to install on Jessie in 2017.  But when CQRLog v2.3 came out, I
was not able to install on Raspbian Jessie.  Switched to Raspbian Stretch
and back in business.

The trick with installing CQRLog is to ensure its dependencies are loaded
first.  This is not well documented for those of us who are casual Linux
ops.  A great tip was provided in one of the CQRLog forums to use a program
called gdebi (sudo apt-get install gdebi) to install the
cqrlog_2.3.0-1_armhf.deb
<https://www.cqrlog.com/files/cqrlog_2.3.0/cqrlog_2.3.0-1_armhf.deb> file.
Gdebi resolves the dependencies for you and loads them prior to the
install; a brilliant little utility as an alternative to dpkg.

I would say that my biggest issues with the install of CQRLog were not with
CQRLog itself, but with MySQL on which CQRLog depends.  Once you resolve
that dependency (hopefully gdebi will do that for you), the rest just
worked.

CQRLog integrates well with wsjtx, fldigi, and qrz.com.  It has direct
upload buttons to eQSL.cc and LOTW.  Although, CQRLog doesn't play nice
with the latest OpenSSL on Stretch.  This nuisance thwarts your ability to
upload an encrypted LOTW log file direct from CQRLog.  You can still get
CQRLog to do the heavy lifting of creating and encrypting an LOTW log file
from those QSOs that you made since the last upload.  After that, I have to
use TQSL on the RPI to upload the file (allow duplicates), CQRLog produces,
to LOTW.  A minor inconvenience at this point that I am willing to live
with.

Looks like there is a CQRLog beta version in the works to succeed v2.3.
The CQRLog forums had some chatter about this from last month and the beta
is now available.  This is great news.  I will be watching and will install
once it goes GA.

regards,
Brian
