Contesting with N1MM on Linux

N1MM+ has been the go-to contest logger for many hams and, thanks to its networking features, also clubs. Sadly, it's only for Windows, it's closed-source and the bugs (whether in N1MM or Wine) don't make it any more fun.

Setting up Wine

1. Install any decently recent flavour of Wine. Usually the one provided by your distro's package manager is fine.
2. Install winetricks.
3. Set the required environment variables. To work inside this wineprefix (which is, in short, a self-contained "fake" "Windows" "installation"), you need to specify its path inside every newly opened terminal window.

Overview

Internet connection and DNS routing are broken from WSL2 instances, when some VPNs are active.

The root cause seems to be that WSL2 and the VPN use the same IP address block, and the VPN routing clobbers WSL2's network routing.

This problem is tracked in multiple microsoft/WSL issues including, but not limited to:

• microsoft/WSL#5068
• microsoft/WSL#4277

Use this as an example on how to start the virtual console without the need of Java Web Start or accessing it from the web interface.
You can use the user and password that you use for the web interface.

You need an old JRE... I used 1.7.0_80 from the Server JRE package, also I have tested successfully 1.7.0_79 with MacOS.
You don't need to install it, just extract it or copy the files in "jre" folder.

Open the viewer.jnlp file that you get by launching the virtual console from the web interface with a text editor.
Note the urls to the jar files. Download the main jar file avctKVM.jar and the libs for your operating system and architecture.
Extract the dlls (.so Linux, .jnilib MacOS) from the jar libs.
