Can not select luac in radio profile

Post by hughc »

Taranis 9D hardware, firmware 2.2.4 Recently reinstalled(today 5-14-2020).
Multi module installed.
I can't successfully select luac in radio profile. I have successfully selected multimodule and lua Luac allows me to highlight the button. Then the profile is saved and reopened. The luac setting is not highlighted when the radio profile is reopened.
What I noticed is the download file name is opentx-x9d-&multimodule-&lua-l&uac-en.bin. Is this file named incorrectly, should it be -&luac-en.bin?

I have an X9D and use 2.2.4. I can not reproduce your problem.
I'm on Windows 10.
What PC and version Operating system are you using?

Sounds like he is on linux with that broken version of gnome that decides to add random shortcut &s to any UI element it finds in a Qt application.

My PC is Ubuntu Linux, Bionic Beaver.
The update to 2.2.4 was done downloading the firmware to PC. Then moving the firmware to the Firmwares directory on the SD card from Taranis. And finally using the firmware upgrade path from boot menu of Taranis.

The filename you have corresponds to the selections you mentioned, ignore the stray &s, as mentioned they're added by that old gnome version, there should not be any...

So I moved the x9d back to my Windows laptop. Downloaded the firmware. There are no &s in the filename on the Windows PC. Moved the downloaded firmware to the SDCard's Firmwares directory. . The filename is correct. Ran the update I can select multi, lua and luac successfully on the Taranis. Thank you for the help.

Then, back to the Ubuntu system with Companion. Same problem in radio settings. Still can't get radio profile to keep luac setting in Ubuntu. I'm thinking the luac problems not saving might be Companion/Ubuntu. And the file naming might be Companion/Ubuntu issue too.

Yes that's what I said. If you update your distro it will be fixed, gnome devs recognised that as a bug and corrected it.

You are on an LTS release so it's only getting security updates, not features/non-essential corrections. Need to update the whole distro.

Success with Kubuntu 20. The radio profile settings reflect correctly in radio profile. The firmware file name is correct too.
Did not test on KDE Neon.
