title: Hamradio Computer
|
|
summary: |
|
|
This should summarize the way I install my hamradio related computers --
|
|
may that be a laptop or a headless system to provide the VARA programs
|
|
in the field.
|
|
|
|
This is also the place where I might update several installation instructions
|
|
in the future.

## Differantation
|
|
|
|
headless or with desktop
|
|
|
|
- headless
|
|
raspi mostly
|
|
- desktop
|
|
vara hf /fm winlink etc
|
|
also connect via ssh -X
|
|
'X11Forward yes' in config file .ssh/config
|
|
|
|
i will sometimes differentiate between them, but usually i only use headless
|
|
minimal systems without X11 (or wayland)
|
|
|
|
## Operating system
|
|
|
|
I usually install Arch Linux on my computers, a convenient way of doing that
|
|
is using `archinstall` off a current arch linux installation medium.
|
|
|
|
SHOW_COMMAND_ARCHINSTALL and JSON_CONFIG_FILE
|
|
|
|
## Packages needed
|
|
|
|
Development packages base-devel etc....
|
|
git zsh starship vnstat
|
|
|
|
sqlite3 yp-tools (zsh shell integration)
|
|
|
|
if on a virtual machine install qemu-guest-service
|
|
|
|
paru installation
|
|
|
|
full system update with `paru`
|
|
|
|
also most "internet connected" devices I use hardened kernel
|
|
but thats more non-radio usage devices
|
|
|
|
### if you have a headless installation
|
|
|
|
## system configurations
|
|
|
|
### polkit usage
|
|
|
|
to reboot without su
|
|
|
|
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/49-nopasswd_global.rules
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/* Allow members of the wheel group to execute any actions
|
|
* without password authentication, similar to "sudo NOPASSWD:"
|
|
*/
|
|
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
|
|
if (subject.isInGroup("wheel")) {
|
|
return polkit.Result.YES;
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### passwordless ssh login
|
|
|
|
ssh-add -L > .ssh/authorized_keys
|
|
|
|
### Special use-case: Beelink T4 Pro
|
|
|
|
works with Windows, does not show proper WiFi device on ANY linux
|
|
that I tested
|
|
|
|
though, it has a simple work-around IF YOU KNOW IT
|

|
|
|
|
basicly: add to the kernel parameters `pcie_port_pm=off`
|
|
can also be done on most installation media that use grub by hitting
|
|
<kbd>e</kbd> at the boot prompt/list
|
|
|

## Tools, Applications
|
|
|
|
### Wine
|
|
|
|
#### Default (Arch)
|
|
|
|
Windows tools will require wine, so we install this right now
|
|
|
|
paru -S wine
|
|
|
|
adding gnutls for network communications
|
|
|
|
paru -S lib32-gnutls
|
|
|
|
export WINEARCH=win32
|
|
export WINEPREFIX=/home/dominic/.wine-winlink
|
|
|
|
you can also include these two lines in a .bash_profile or similar.
|
|
I use this sometimes in my `~/.zshrc.local` as i include this already.
|
|
|
|
since we exported WINEPREFIX we can omit the use of it in THIS SESSION
|
|
(this terminal window). if you use another you have to export the variable
|
|
again or prefix any command with
|
|
`WINEPREFIX=/home/dominic/.wine-winlink <your-command>`
|
|
|
|
winetricks winxp
|
|
winetricks sound=alsa
|
|
|
|
starting with all windows fonts
|
|
|
|
winetricks -q allfonts
|
|
|
|
adding some .NET frameworks we will mostly use/need
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
winetricks -q dotnet35sp1
|
|
winetricks vb6run
|
|
winetricks vcrun2015
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
optional if errors
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
winetricks -q dotnet40
|
|
winetricks -q dotnet46
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
registering notepad.exe as default application for logfiles
|
|
|
|
create a backup of the wine installation
|
|
|
|
tar -cJf wine-backup\_$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S)\_initial-setup.tar.xz .wine-winlink
|
|
|
|
#### Debian
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
sudo apt install wine wine32 fonts-wine
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt install gcc-multilib g++-multilib
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### VARA tools
|
|
|
|
vara hf, vara fm
|
|
|
|
### Winlink Express
|
|
|
|
also install lib32-gnutls for internet connections etc...
|
|
without the password on winlink setup canoot be checked and the
|
|
setup form cannot be filled out automatically...
