WSJT-X on Pi

[metrologist]

I tried to set up WSJT-X on my raspberry Pi 3 that I just upgraded to Bullseye. I'm not a Linux bub, and all I recall is something about dependencies.

I used Method B: https://www.fs-pcba.com/how-to-install-wsjt-x-on-raspberry-pi/

I think after updating to the newer OS that I was able to get through step 2, but maybe the response was still not found.

I tried step 6. to fix broken install, and after the scary message, I said "Yes, do as I say!"

But still broken.

I was installing the package from here: https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx.html

And I don't know what to try next.

Oh, I googled and found this site, which I'll try tonight.

[mag_therm]

I suggest you continue trying with your first link because it is current.

the last link you posted is way too old ( from 2017)

I have wsjt-x and fldigi running here on linux Fedora.  with 2 sdr transceivers.

Don't compile from source, just download the arm deb file from the prinston site and click on it to install it, dpackage will deal with the dependencies and it will just work.

  wsjtx_2.6.1_armhf.deb

[metrologist]

The links to the princeton site I found went to 404. I don't like to download from SourceForge but that's all I could find.

Here is the issue:

Read the answers here.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76696292/libc6-dev-depends-libc6-2-31-13deb11u6-but-2-36-9-is-to-be-installed
Try to do, as root, the package update as described at the end of the answers. Watch the update messages as they flow past.
(I am Fedora here, the commands are different but the o/s is very similar)

You can copy the error lines one by one and paste into your browser as I did above.

[ZigmundRat]

You’re in dependency hell due to severely mismatched package dependencies. If you’re trying to do this the simple way, Bullseye (the version you have installed) seems to have a WSJT-X 2.30 package available. If you want to run 2.6.1, then it looks like installing Debian ‘bookworm’ is the way to go as WSJT-X 2.6.1 is available there.

The Bullseye package is wsjtx_2.3.0+repack-2_armhf.deb
The Bookworm package is wsjtx_2.6.1+repack-1_armhf.deb

Both should be available in the standard archive and installable via apt.

Hope that helps.

[mag_therm]

Yes,I agree with ZigmundRat      wsjt-x should be on the Debian repository for your exact version.
here are two commands ( first is roughly same as Fedora           dnf whatprovides wsjt-x    ( note wsjt-x all lower case)
your command ( I hope ) as root  is       dpkg -S wsjt-x

If that does not work, well, just try to install it as root:
                                apt install wsjt-x

If that does not work use the full string as Zig  shows

Nope!

Upgrade your OS to Deb 12 Pi not 11. Sorry did not read you are using legacy in the OP. There is no real reason to use legacy, you can either install and older version of wsjt, or upgrade your OS and install the newer on.

[metrologist]

Thanks All.

I will try with an upgrade to Bookworm. I upgraded to Bullseye because that's the version specified on the SourceForge package download.

Now I'm just getting a big fat finger on a simple upgrade.

[metrologist]

I pulled out a new SD card and will just start over.

[mag_therm]

You and I are both having similar problems with dependencies.
I put a general thread about the linux dependency problems over on Computers>programming
Took liberty to mention your thread.

[metrologist]

Thanks!

The frustration weed is sprouting. The new card was booting and going through the setup/upgrade stuff, and then would not boot at all, hung at the Welcome screen with mounting... text below.

[mag_therm]

Understood, I don't like to give up, but after 2 days trying to install NXP MCuXpresso on Fedora I got no-where.
So I have ordered the Debian 12 that it is supposed to run on. I can install Fedora from download, but it is easier to purchase it on a USB. That is easier install and a backup,that can be re-used

And do't worry too much initailly about getting the latest wjts-x.   I am still running Ver 2.3.1
It is better for you to try to install a version that matches your linux version.

[metrologist]

Not that I want to give up, but just don't know what to do now.

I'm getting mostly the same errors. multimedia and port 5 dependencies won't install.

And this new OS is slow, like type 100 characters and wait 5 seconds for them to spill out...

And now low voltage warnings. I have a name brand 2.5A 5V supply.

Never mind this junk. I put it back in the box or trade it for a doughnut.

[mag_therm]

Oh, And I was looking at the pi5 with debian 12

Do you have a real computer with debian?

[metrologist]

Many years ago, with a Win98 laptop, I could interface with my HF rig using PSK31. I can't do that now with the latest computing tech.

[tatel]

Now I'm just getting a big fat finger on a simple upgrade. 

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt update
Get:1 http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org bookworm InRelease [15.0 kB]
Hit http://archive.raspberrypi.org jessie InRelease       

It seems you have messed your sources.list and have lines on it for bookworm and jessie. And two different repositories, too. Since you have nothing functional right now, I couldn't see any reason not to do a clean install. Leave upgrading between releases to experienced people. Don't mix releases, be content with what repositories for your release have. Otherwise any noob will probably get in dependency hell. Best release for a noob? The current "stable" one, of course

That's all. No need to look for drivers, etc. It just works. If it doesn't you just messed it up, and the best way to get out of the mess, is to try and clean install again.

A clean install with just the defaults should work fine, then you just "apt install yourmuchappreciatedpackage". Any needed dependencies will be installed automatically

Much easier than any windows install.

[tatel]

BTW, there's a fork of WSJT-X officially supported in Debian. It seems to be ported to the Pi. Perhaps it's worth a look.

There you have officially supported hamradio packages on Debian. I don't know how many are ported to the Pi. But they all should install fine by just ticking the "hamradio" task during system install. https://blends.debian.org/hamradio/tasks/sdr

YT video about jtdx on the Pi3:





 

[radiolistener]

just tried to install wsjtx and jtdx on raspberry pi Bookworm OS aarch64:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt install wsjtx jtdx
It installed wsjt v2.6.1 and jtdx v2.2.159

Both works just after installation, but both have no title for the main window, so there is no way to move window.
Probably some issue with Wayland compatibility...

Update: just found workaround for wsjtx, if you click on a splash screen during app startup before main window appearing, it will be opened with window title... For jtdx there is no spash screen, so this workaround don't works.
