In VarAC on Linux/Pi/Mac
In the v11 CQ calls box, in the LOC column, there is a broken symbol as displayed by a small square for stations which transmit their grid square. This is with Linux Mint 22.1, Wine 10.0.0. When in Linux mode, perhaps the symbol can be suppressed, as it apparently is in the Beacons box (where no symbol appears prior to the grid square). 73, -Joe- K0OG

The little link icon does not display in the Beacons box while running on Linux Mint 22.1, Wine 9.0. Here is what that box looks like: Beacons, Linux Mint 22.1, VarAC 11.0.7 73, -Joe- K0OG

In VarAC - HF discussion forum
Greetings, I run my QRP station as K0OG/QRP. I find when my received spots are posted to PSKReporter, they are posted as being reported by "K0OG/QRP", and when I transmit a beacon, it is being reported by other stations as "K0OG". Is there something that can be done to unify my reports under a single callsign? I suspect the best solution would be to have receiving stations report a fullly-modified callsign "K0OG/QRP" instead of simply "K0OG". You would not want to strip the "/" modifier from a reporting station since there might be several sub-stations operating under a single callsign (like in a club operation). I'm running Linux Mint 21.2, VarAC 8.4.4, running under Wine. I suspect that this is a general problem, not just on Linux. 73, -Joe-

Greetings, I've been running VarAC on Linux Mint under Wine since before it was "supported" to do so, and it has worked well for me in general (in spite of the black TX text block, for which I found a work-around until that was fixed), *and* per the subject of this post the gestures have never worked for me. Of course, they work fine in Windows. I asked Irad what font was used, and have installed every emoticon font I can find in Wine, yet the gesture symbols do not display for me, even in the latest 6.6.13 version. I have verified that the symbols work properly in other Wine applications, and have even installed all those same fonts in Linux. My question is: Do any of you who run VarAC in Linux have working gesture symbols? If so, what did you do to get them to work? If you did nothing specific to get them to work, but they "just worked" for you, please briefly describe what version of Linux you are running and what Wine installation process you used. Thanks & 73, -Joe- K0OG
