New to Uconsole and Linux so please forgive…
The latest Trixie 6.12.67, python 3.13.5, pinctrl and Rex’s full AIO package installed. SDR++ working well. Updates applied.
Thought I’d install the AIOV2_CTL before testing the other software packages, yet it fails…
Then noticed the remark re suggested directory !, so tried that…
And here’s where it seemed to install…
Help lol
try reinstalling normally, skip the “cd /usr/local/bin”. it should install it normally.
If you encounter the gui error, try checking the task bar> system tools> AIOv2 controller.
Nothing on taskbar under system tools or accessories…
@AceMedia any suggestions ?
you’re just running sudo python3 ./aiov2_ctl.py --install in the aiov2_ctl folder?
Just do the “git clone” in your downloads folder, then run the install command as sudo 
sudo python3 ./aiov2_ctl.py --install
Same errors so doesn’t install !!. I now have two copies of the install files and file manager doesnt give a delete or move to bin option for either 
Sorted, removed three offending ‘right arrow’ characters from 3 lines of code (shown as \u2912 in error list) from the aiov2_ctl.py install script by opening in Geany… lt was using unsupported utf-8 !
Did you also install the GUI, and does it work?
Good point !
Icon in system tools but did nothing. Ran in terminal (aiov2_ctl --gui) and it stated pyt6 was not installed, so sorted that (needed reboot to complete). Now creates an icon on the taskbar and runs 
Definitely need the install script improving !
I also got the error message that Python wasn’t installed. However, Python is definitely installed. I have no idea how to get the GUI to install/run… no icon is displayed in the taskbar either.
So you can enter aiov2_ctl in terminal and see the 4 power switch states ?
Taskbar icon (gui tool) only appears after clicking ‘AIOv2 Controller’ in system tools.
Enter the following in terminal…
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Did anything update ?..
pinctrl
Do you see a long list of i/o pin states ?..
hostnamectl
What does it say on the operating system line ?..
python3 --version
what does it respond ? (note the space then two - signs)
Did you get any error messages when installing the full package ? (a screenshot would be good to see).
The AIOv2 gui is not happy unless locale is set to US/EN UTF-8 !. Changing local to other countries such as UK stops the gui launching !
Are you still having issues? Looks like locale fixed it.
Yeah setting locale back to US UTF-8 brought back the aiov2 gui yet I have other Locale issues…
Testing a fix for this on the dev branch that we should have live over the weekend.
I reinstalled Trixie and cured the issue for now. Certainly not touching locale again lol
Got this installed, but the GUI refuses to run. Keeps saying pyqt is not installed, when it is. Is this due to the locale bug?
Check your python bin. For whatever reason the gps tool is the default python on my system. I’m not sure how to remove that py env. If you install it system wide and restart it should run. Or explicitly use the real default python
Found your advice about checking the System Tools folder in the start menu, and there it was, even though it said it failed due to pyqt6 not being installed. GUI works perfectly! I’m excited now that I have pretty much everything working! Now, I will set it up so that the GUI launches automatically at startup. Thanks so much for all your help!
