HAM_SECRETARY program can work in a Linux environment for application WINE (it is not a Windows emulator - as the authors call it - WINE - is not an emulator from the first letters). Tested and below describe the settings in WINE and Lunux Kubuntu -9.10. and in the WINE version 1.1.31. HAM_SECRETARY inside WINE Linux can be the same as the normal Windows and do not need any separate version. Here is screenshot of the most important Design pattern for in Kubuntu 9.10 .

Some preparation are needed for WINE and Kubuntu. This is because, and some elements in WINE does not wait for a software solution .. The problems which we must settle it, the following matters:
In the normal version of Windows help is in the form of a file type. Chm. In addition, the program HAM_SECRETARY is written for normal Windows contextually ie pressing the F1 key opens a help site that describes what the function is actualy performed. Unfortunately, WINE contextual help is not well resolved. There is truth thatfor WIINE is program hh.exe for type. Chm file - ie it is the same name as in normal Windows but its action is very slow. Calling this hh.exe from Linux bash shell if they are in the directory with the help file. chm file has the form:
smietan@Kubuntu9:~/.wine/drive_c/HAM_SECRETARY$ wine hh.exe HAM_SECRETARY_EN.chm
But I would not recommend this program hh.exe. Starts only sometimes and opens only a very small chapters Normal chapters - it's not the way forward in the opening chapter - the Linux system monitor shows the hh.exe consumes a lot of memory - 800 MB for small chapters. . Maybe the next issue of WINE will better solve this problem. Thus, we cannot use contextually help . However, we can use the Linux program type. chm named Chmsee We need it just install Linux boxes from the repositories using Synaptic Package Manager or through the System Settings ----> Add / Remove Programs ... chmsee Program here is the best choice there - but it also have drawbacks - namely:
You can even install kchmviewer for Linux - but it is even worse for the files. Chm files from the normal Windows I recommend users who use HAM_SECRETARY on Linux boxes support for the program HAM_SECRETARY help on my web site http://sp9auv.com/EN . There, everything works as it should - the colors, and links to other chapters and chapters of the measure are performed correctly. Returns with jumps also perform correctly. |
For views on the website QRZ.COM all the data on station with the cost of shipping QSL cards - in order to insert the data in the Remarks box - see .HAM_SECRETARY program was written so that it uses the default browser which is installed on your system. I recommend using the Firefox browser and a call for a new station will open a new tab just for this station in the browser - no browser and re-launching a new window - taking system resources as it has done ..- Internet Explorer WINE. Typically, users install Firefox on Linux. Note - In Kubuntu 9.10 Firefox is not in the distributions - you can install it using Synaptic Package Manager or through the System Settings ----> Add / Remove Programs.Install itself does not make that Firefox will become the default viewer web. Describe it below. It would be also be configured WINE to be able to use the Linux browser as I will describe below .The trick is done by editing the appropriate file registers in WINE by giving from the Linux console: smietan@Kubuntu9:~/.wine/drive_c$ wine regedit It does not matter which directory you are when you call the above command We are looking now to HKEY_CURRENT_USER (aka HKLM) -> Software -> Wine and look at the key named "WineBrowser" If the key does not exist create it. For the newly created key "WineBrowser 'create string named" Browsers "with the following values xdg-open,firefox,konqueror,mozilla,netscape,galeon,opera,dillo . Do not pay attention to the order of these browsers in the code above. Be sure only the sequence "xdg-open is the first in a string. It will do that when we have recourse to a link from the WINE program - will be called linux default browser to open a link called
But that's now not all . If we called default browser, ie a link from the Wine, we get the following error messages: err:winebrowser:get_url_from_dde Unabled to retrieve URL from string L"\"" err:winebrowser:wmain Usage: winebrowser URL . To prevent this we have to go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT -> http -> shell -> open -> command and edit an existing sequence there, adding more characters "% 1" at the end of the line, so that it looked like the following: C:\windows\system32\winebrowser.exe -nohome "%1"
Now we are looking throughout the entire register key winebrowser. Set the position of first position My Computer
Appears some sequences have been edited C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ winebrowser.exe-nohome "% 1". or not edited C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ winebrowser.exe If at some not add% 1 just add % 1. eg C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ winebrowser.exe% 1. Continue searching by pressing F3 in a registry. Sequences not only corrected may be on the screenshot below ;
At this time, a default browser is konqueror - installed with the distribution. To change this must change this system program System Settings -> Default Programs -> Web browser as on the following screenshot
