[Xastir] Serial connection with virtual machine issue???

[Jason Winningham]

sorry to chime in late, email glitch and I didn’t see the messages.

If it’s a USB adapter, don’t give the USB adapter to the host (windows), let the hypervisor give it to the guest (ubuntu/xastir) via USB passthrough.  I’ve been doing it that ways for years and years.

e.g. with VMware Fusion (like VMware workstation only for the Mac) fire up the ubuntu VM and plug in the adapter.  VMware will pop open a dialog to say “where do you want to plug in <insert name here>”.

I of course got permissions for dialout and dev/ttyS0. I tried using com 2 and /dev/ttyS1 and still nothing. I prefer using raspberry pi cost effective and using ra-25 soundcard interface with direwolf soundcard tnc. But I no longer use xastir as I was told that I am some sort of spy. And aprs is a spyware on this county of secretive hams with secret channels like 144.390. Anyways I given up on windows 10 and rpi would be better!
