all sstv modes are completely wrong in Jaunty

[Rodney Byne]

Package refers to qsstv 5.3c-8

The following fault has been reported by a few radio amateur users
around the world and my experience is exactly the same as theirs.

I run Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope on an Acer Aspire One Netbook A110

Standard transmitted picture tone sequences for all the sstv modes
are completely wrong to normal.

Similarly when receiving a correctly set up transmission, the
picture never properly develops, as it is completely out of step
at the wrong speed and synchronisation to the source.

I have had the same experience with qsstv-5.3c-8 on 9.04 and 9.10. The transmitting scan for scottie 1 is 2-3 seconds. This version is very flawed, I cannot think what is keeping it from working. The program does open from Synaptic program manager, but FAILS TO transmit and recieve sstv. Very choppy transmit, and doesnt seem to recieve sstv and get extreme slants. I have exchange sstv picture with people using this program using Mandriva, with thier photo having just a slight slant. Which isnt a big problem.

Overall Ubuntu is a great program, but I sure if this could be repaired more folks would
join the fun! Thanks to all of you. steve

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Is this bug reproducible with the latest Lucid packages ?
Tanks in advance.

Please be advised, this "bug" appears to be a fault with
the qsstv application compiling/and or associated packages.
There is not a problem with the Linux host platform.
It just doesn't run properly whatever it's installed on.

The program author should be contacted to sort it out
as it seems to have a longstanding history problem
with users.

Regards.

Ok, just tell us if this bug is reproducible with the latest updated package of Lucid.
If yes, please run in a terminal
apport-collect -p qsstv 380021
Thanks for the reply

Couldn't tell you as I've been using Mint 8 Helena
on this netbook for a long time, so am in no
position to comment on Lucid anymore.
