Re: [chirp_users] Chirp Mint 13 w/cinnamon Yaesu FT-8800
Dan,
I am using the serial port on the computer. It is a Dell Optiplex GX280. dual core 32bit P4 with 3GB of memory. I blew Windows away and installed Mint 13 w/cinnamon. I am at work at the moment (50 miles from home). I'll give it another shot tonight and send you the log if I cannot get it to work. I am hoping it is some little step I am forgetting.

I started off using the same combination of buttons that I used for the G4HFQ software.
Yes, it's the same combination/procedure.
Are you really using the integrated serial port on your machine, or a USB adapter? Please attach your debug log so I can take a look.
Dan,
I got it working early this morning and updated the ticket. I am puzzled as the only thing I can see that I did differently was to wait for a few seconds after I clicked "OK" on chirp, before pressing the "vm" button on the radio.
Thank You for all of your help.
And to answer the barrage of questions I got about Mint13 w/cinnamon. Hated gnome3, like Mint13 w/cinnamon. Feel free to send any questions off list.

Well, that's good. Waiting "a few seconds" seems longer than I remember waiting, but it certainly is a good plan. The thing is, CHIRP has to have opened the serial port and be ready for the radio to send a "let's go" message, which is must reply to quickly or the radio will give up. If your machine is slow or there is something else adding latency there, extra time for CHIRP to be ready to catch that message will be required.
Thanks!
Dan,
It is a 32 bit, dual core 3.20ghz P4 with 3.2GB of ddr2 memory so you wouldn't think it would be too slow. Anyway I am very happy that everything appears to be working well.
Thank You again.
