Maybe don’t do anything yet until I find out it’s necessary but note that it expands on the original Charles Socci post and may solve issues I don’t here.ĭang… that took a while. Now I went back and read this post referred by Charles which turned out to be quite interesting. I knew this would happen so that’s why I’m making this post. And I will install…ok, so this link doesn’t work.

What I’m going to do is save the file as download and then move it to my documents directory in one I just named QTEL.Ĭomment: I did a right click on the tar file and ‘extract here’Ĭomment: What the heck is a ‘getlib’? Sounds like a domain for promoting the liberal party…but I digress. Let’s begin:ġ – Download packages from or ….Ĭomment: second link didn’t work but it went to a kind of cool blog. If there are hiccups, hopefully I’ll find them and fix as we we go.

What I’m going to do is follow these steps provided by Charles Socci K1DNR verbatim and if they work, you’ll have screenshots and stories along the way. It gave a warning of bad quality but I also got this method to start to work and it shows it as installed now.Įdit 140717 5am-7am – Current situation: FAIL! Do not do anything in this post yet if you aren’t pretty advanced because I mucked up my computer doing some of this, but please feel free to help me!

#Echolink app cannot connect software#

deb file and badda bing/boom it started installing with the software centre. Joe in a moment of revelation decided to click the qtel. I contacted VA7OBI on the ham (it’s cooler to fix ham issues on the ham) and we walked through this. I never got to the final solution because the above solution happened right before, ha. I think it supports voice and chat.īelow are the details of the things I tried before finding the quick and easy solution. We hope this has helped you and that you will look me up on Echolink and send me a note.

#Echolink app cannot connect how to#

If you don’t know how to open ports in your router, this website has been amazing for years. In the case of Joe, he had to open ports 5200 (UDP and TDP) in his router. Note: In my case, it seems like it’s working just fine.

#Echolink app cannot connect license#

It should open and prompt for your ham radio license and password. Now you can just start typing ‘qtel’ in your HUD (or however you like to find your installed apps) and click it.

#Echolink app cannot connect install#

(this one puts felix in your list of software sources so you can actually download and install the Qtel app) Now, go back to your terminal and run these two commands one after the other: In your terminal (control + alt + t) enter this verbatim and press enter: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:felix.lechner/hamradioĢ. If this tutorial doesn’t work for you, come back and add that repository. Both of us added it before doing this so let us know this tutorial works without adding it as we are both curious (sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-hams-updates/ppa). How to Get Qtel (Echolink) Running on your Ubuntu 14.04 machineįirst, we are not sure if you need this PPA added to your machine. All of that will begin under the header “The Long Battle” below. The solution turned out to be very fast and easy, thanks to Joe (VA7OBI). Otherwise, I’m just leaving it below to hopefully catch a bunch of SEO and save other people from the certain loss of hair and sanity as they try to figure it out. It’s kind of funny if you like watching people suffer. So, if you want the long and painful story of what I had to go through before I finally got Qtel (echolink) working on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine, please take all the time in the world and read through the story.

I hope this helps you all! I’ll so another post exclusively on this issue.

Instantly my Qtel sound was working on Ubuntu 14.04. Let’s put this Qtel thing onto our Fresh and Saucy Ubuntu 14.04 machines so we can ham with our homeboys in Nunavut.Įdit 140728 – It seems that Joe’s ports 5200 below did *not* help me but, everything was solved when I opened port range 5198-5199 UDP only in my router. This is kind of like roasting your own coffee – it might be hard, and there might be a faster way to do it but nothing compares to that first sip if you sweat it out. I will use this outdated tutorial designed for Ubuntu. But that’s kind of like praying while sitting on the toilet – it might work but it just feels wrong.

I figured worst case scenario, I would probably need to log these solutions for later when I forget, ha.įirst of all, you can apparently use the native Echolink windows app using Wine in Ubuntu. I figured we should publish this for others. Thanks to Joe for actually searching the solution(s) and emailing me.
