Clean Ubuntu 24.04 as an VM machine.
Installed latest build with Elliott’s’ full-build.sh script. Launched the app and I can see version 1.65 working just fine. (Im importing the USB Port into the VM with the VM Manager _
Now Id like to try ‘creator-widget’ branch. How do i go from Elliott’s full-build.sh script and install ‘creator-widgets’ branch over it.
Just add “creator-widgets” as the first argument to the script. It will replace anything it finds automatically.

FYI, the script executed OK. and the build went OK as well. V 1.94 now. Thank you
First glance, Love the new interface. Im still playing with it. But seems really cool
Nice to see controls for NB and NR. And three selectable meters. thats nice
Also the little ‘widget’ at the startup of program to set “USB or Serial” was a nice touch for the novice user.
Elliott:
Do we know what combos work,?
1.65 Server ----> 1.94 Client
1.94 Server ----> 1.65 Client
1.94 Server ----> 1.94 Client
I believe you will find broad compatibility between the versions.
We of course recommend matching versions due to that being how things are tested.
The client to server connection basically sends serial CIV traffic, so new commands will just flow across. But newer server and client code is much more robust, so I recommend using the newest version when possible (on both sides).
Glad you’re liking it. Lots of neat features will show themselves as you poke around.

You may have already seen this but:
2024-11-19 11:45:06.667 WRN qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not suport QWindow::requestActivate()
possibly this has to do with pushing a dialog box to the foreground?
OS: U 64 v24.04 LTS
Build: 1.94 (built today)
There is nothing that we can do about that, wfview is attempting to change the current ‘in focus’ window, and your display server (Wayland) doesn’t allow that, so the only ‘fix’ would be for you to switch back to X11 (or ignore the warning!)
