This replaces ShowMessage "It seems you are trying to run this program
for the first time...."
As default it acts just like before. If user just closes window from top
right X or clicks "OK" logs are created to user folder.
As seen so many times this causes database connection problems because
mysql safe thread does not start for reason, or other.
It is called now "save logs in linux user folder"
The second selection "save logs in local SQL server" is new option where
logs will be saved to localhost/3306. The "real" SQL server that is
installed already when filling Cqrlog dependencies.
Using loacalhost SQL server a SQL user with password and privileges
must be created. Cqrlog does it now making "create_cqr_user.sh" to
users home directory and trying to execute it with command terminal.
Xterm, gnome-terminal and lxterminal are searced fro run, but if
none is found user is prompted to execute script manually with his
"excotic" command-line terminal.
Cqrlog also creates "backup_all-cqr.sh" scirpt that user can later
use for backing up all cqrlog databases using mysqldump.
Third selection is "save logs in external SQL server" that can be
anywhere in network. In that case server admin needs to make
SQL user for Cqrlog with proper privileges.
Also in that case Cqrlog creates backup scrip with proper settings to
backup logs later.
Help files have been updated and new page for this start is created.
it can be opened from DB selection window using xdg-open using
button "?(please read)" and appears also in left frame of Main help.
Specially the second selection may help a lot starting of Cqrlog.
Also Mysql 8.x will work whith that case as no mysql_safe thread
is tried to start in user's folders.
This is tested with Fedora35(Gtk2/QT5), Mint20, and RPi 4b trying all
selections.
RPi graphics are working "weird" way compared to others.
And Tabulator jumping does not work in Mint20 (virtual machine)
None of these prevents usage.

<strong><h3>Description:</h3></strong>
|
|
<div align="justify">
|
|
<div>CQRLOG is an advanced ham radio logging application based
|
|
on a MySQL database. It provides radio interfacing utilizing the hamlib libraries
|
|
(currently support for 140+ radio types and models), DX cluster
|
|
connection, band map, QRZ.com/HamQTH.com callbook (XML access),
|
|
ClubLog and Logbook of the World support, IOTA support, a
|
|
grayliner, propagation indicator, xplanet support (maps in azimuthal projection centered in
|
|
your QTH), OK1RR free QSL manager database etc.
|
|
<br> <br>CQRLOG is intended mainly for seriously HF DX minded operators
|
|
but can be used for any ham logging purpose, also by casual operators.
|
|
It is equipped with probably most accurate DXCC country database
|
|
available, providing not only the country resolution but also state,
|
|
province, region, district etc. It resolves also antarctic bases,
|
|
special event stations, contest callsigns and much more.<br><br>
|
|
CQRLOG has its own web site at
|
|
<a href=http://www.cqrlog.com><strong>http://www.cqrlog.com</strong></a>.
|
|
Find news, changes, latest additional files and howtos there.
|
|
If you have a problem, browse the web site first, then ask for help.

|
<br><br><strong><h3>Supported transceivers:</h3>
|
|
</strong> The Radio Control interface is provided using <i>hamlib</i>,
|
|
a set of libraries, which is a development effort to provide a
|
|
consistent interface for programmers wanting to incorporate radio
|
|
control in their programs. <i>hamlib</i> is not a complete user
|
|
application, rather, it is a software layer intended to make
|
|
controlling various radios and other shack hardware much easier.
|
|
<br><br> Most recent amateur radio transceivers allow external control
|
|
of their functions through a serial interface. Unfortunately, control
|
|
commands are not always consistent across a manufacturer's product line
|
|
and each manufacturer's product line differs greatly from its
|
|
competitors.
|
|
<br><br> There's no standardized protocol to remotely control one's
|
|
rig, be it a Ham radio transceiver, a SWL receiver, any kind of scanner
|
|
or other mobiles. However, many manufacturer have designed their
|
|
own proprietary protocol, implemented in some of their product family.
|
|
Therefore, each rig family will require a <i>hamlib</i> backend to set
|
|
the VFO frequency, change mode and passband width, get current signal
|
|
strength, etc. The actual list of supported radios can be found <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/hamlib/wiki/Supported%20Radios/"><strong>on Hamlib website</strong></a>.
|
|
<br><br> <strong><h3>Installation:</h3></strong>
|
|
Ubuntu users can use a repository on <a href="https://launchpad.net/~ok2cqr/+archive/ubuntu/ppa">Launchpad</a>. To add the repo, open a terminal and copy&paste<br><br>
|
|
<code>
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ok2cqr/ppa<br>
|
|
sudo apt-get update<br>
|
|
sudo apt-get install cqrlog <br>
|
|
</code><br>
|
|
Only Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04 are officially supported but there are also builds for other
|
|
versions of Ubuntu on <a href="https://launchpad.net/~ok2cqr/+archive/ubuntu/ppa">Launchpad</a>.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
Debian users can simply install using the package manager<br><br>
|
|
<code>
|
|
sudo apt-get install cqrlog <br>
|
|
</code><br><br>
|
|
For other distributions, you can use binaries located at
|
|
<a href="http://cqrlog.com/download">http://cqrlog.com/download</a>.
|
|
Some of them, like Fedora and Arch, have their own repositories for CQRLOG - Fedora: <a
|
|
href="https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/cqrlog">https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/cqrlog</a>
|
|
ArchLinux <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cqrlog/">https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cqrlog/</a><br>
|
|
If upgrading, no important file will be overwritten. Anyway, <strong>backup your log</strong> before you begin any
|
|
upgrade!
|
|
<br><br><strong><h3>Dependencies:</h3></strong>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>HamLib</strong> - must be installed even if you don't want radio control. The sources are available
|
|
at <a href="http://hamlib.sourceforge.net/"><strong>http://hamlib.sourceforge.net/</strong></a>, however
|
|
precompiled packages are available for almost all major Linux distributions.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><strong>MySQL server and client</strong> - The MySQL client must be installed,
|
|
without this the program will not work at all. A MySQL server must be reachable,
|
|
either on the local machine or via a network.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><strong>libssl-devel</strong> needed if you want to use LoTW and/or online log upload
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<strong><h3>Third Party Programs</h3></strong>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Hamlib</strong> - <strong><font color="#FF0000">NEEDED</font></strong>,
|
|
without this CQRLOG will not work!
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Trusted QSL</strong> - for LoTW operations. Ubuntu and Debian have this package in their repositories.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>xplanet</strong> - for DX Cluster spot visualization on the azimuthal map.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>cwdaemon</strong> - for CW operation, only if you choose parallel or serial port keying without Winkey.
|
|
</li>

|
cwdaemon use may result in <strong>sloppy CW at speeds above 30 WPM</strong>.
|
|
Use Winkey (by K1EL) if possible or your <strong>kernel must be modified to minimalize the
|
|
latency</strong>. Tickless, high resolution timer and 1000 Hz sampling rate must be used.
|
|
Recommended for very experienced linux users only!
