git clone problem

I am getting an error (“fatal: unable to connect to git.osmocom.org:”) when using this line from the Freq-Show directions (in the setting up Dependencies section): git clone git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git

As a “Newbie” to the Rasberry Pi I’d really appreciate some help! 😦

Oh if you’re not using the PiTFT you’ll need to make a few small changes. Near the bottom of the freqshow.py file remove these lines:

    # Initialize pygame and SDL to use the PiTFT display and touchscreen.
    os.putenv('SDL_VIDEODRIVER', 'fbcon')
    os.putenv('SDL_FBDEV'      , '/dev/fb1')
    os.putenv('SDL_MOUSEDRV'   , 'TSLIB')
    os.putenv('SDL_MOUSEDEV'   , '/dev/input/touchscreen')

Those set up environment variables that expect to use the PiTFT, but if you remove them it should fall back to using the HDMI display.

You’ll also probably want to display the mouse cursor so you can use it to press buttons, so change this line a line further down:

pygame.mouse.set_visible(False)

To be this:

pygame.mouse.set_visible(True)

@tdicola That fix still works. Thank you.
