Hmmm... which window manager/desktop are you using on Ubuntu? KDE, Gnome, Cinnamon, Mate, etc? There have been certain "features" with Java's interactions with some window managers when trying to fully emulate the window manager's look & feel which don't happen with other window managers. You might want to try using the Java "Metal" OS/desktop-independent look & feel. When you start YAAC, use the "-metal" command line option, for example, java -jar YAAC.jar -metal The YAAC windows won't look quite...

That is very strange. When I am manually entering callsigns in the fields at the bottom of the map window, I can just tab from field to field and the data remains there. It does get automatically upper-cased if I typed the callsign in lowercase. What operating system are you using, what version of Java (type the command "java -version" in a command window to find out what you have installed), and what build of YAAC (latest release is 1.0beta221)? Sounds like you either have an old buggy version of...

You don't have to wait to hear from a station to send a message to it. The drop-down list of all heard stations can be ignored; you can just hand-type the callsign-SSID into the recipient field in any of the places where you send a message without clicking on a station ID first (the Message->Station menu choice or the fields at the bottom of the main map window). Similarly, if the default set of digipeat aliases is not suitable, you can hand-type a digipeat path instead of picking from the list for...

It shouldn't have broken functionality, and the addressdb plugin is specifically for the functionality of extracting postal address data from the OpenStreetMap dataset in a form that can be used later. Most plugins do require some configuration, just as base YAAC does. For example the ADS-B decoder plugin needs to know how to connect to your ADS-B receiver. The newest versions of YAAC now inform you if a plugin needs configuration; unfortunately, the addressdb plugin pre-dates that capability and...

What database server are you using? This error indicates that YAAC is not configured to successfully connect to the appropriate SQL database server you have chosen to use with the addressdb plugin. Note that YAAC is not a database; through the addressdb plugin, YAAC is a client of some database server you have chosen to use for which you have provided configuration data in the YAAC expert-mode Configuration dialog on the Postal DB tab. If you don't have a database server, then you can't use the addressdb...
