Anyone used a sata flash module to run acid on? See: http://www.logicsupply.com/products/sfm20i_4g One less mechanical thing to break at the site if it works. Scott

ACID flaw / bug
by Shane Young K0SEY 31 May '10

31 May '10

Greetings I'ts been several years since I've done anything productive with app_rpt. My first node was online before the quadPCI card was released. Since then, (for various reasons) it's been mostly offline. This weekend, I thought I'd start to get things back together. I ordered a USB radio interface and I downloaded ACID. After I downloaded it, I burned it to a CDROM, then went about doing other things. This morning, I was doing some casual web browsing and things were getting kind of slow, so I decided to reboot my pc. While it was rebooting I got up to get something to drink and tidy up in the kitchen. When I came back, I was a bit supprised at what I saw on my PC. It was in the process of destroying itself with the ACID installation. Now, I've burned many installers to CD before, so I'm never supprised to find the "boot" prompt of a some OS installer, but I've never had an OS installer decide to trash the system on it's own. Just to validate what happened, I rebooted and watched what happned. The Centos screen came up and gave me an obvious warning that pressing enter will destroy anything on my system and install centos. It did not say that it would install on it's own if I did nothing. I did not press enter, but after a minute or so, it started all on it's own. I'm somewhat at a loss of words to describe why I think it's a bad idea for an OS installer to act this way. Is there any logical reason why it's this way? --Shane

Limey Linux on CF problems
by Neil Addis (WA5JXY) 30 May '10

30 May '10

I am trying to load Limey Linux on a CF but so far have been unsuccessful. I have tried all the setup steps on the app_rpt site. Everything seems like it works but the PC wont boot from any image that I copied as per the instructions. I tried several images from the limey Linux site such as (cfimg-i585-via-1.0.x, etc) untarred, dd'd to the CF etc. When booting, the HDD Led flickers as it accesses the CF but then the system hangs. This is a VIA EVEM mombo "carputer" running 512MB RAM and CF reader on 12v. I have sucessfully booted from the same CF if I use unetbootin app that extracts a distro as an ISO image to a CF or thumbdrive. DamnSmallLinux, as well as PCLOS work ok, and system runs fine on those distros. I want to setup LimeyLinux on this system as a diskless app_rpt node, but for some reason the images (or commands to copy to the CF) are not working for me. I am using PClinxOS and a terminal as root to do the commands. Any help or ideas form someone who has been successful in getting Limey to work on a CF? Thanks! Neil

Connect and disconnect messages,
by Chuck Kraly 30 May '10

30 May '10

Ok guys, Hate to be a pain, but i have looked and looked. But cannot finger it out yet. Has anyone worked how to kill all the phonetic connect and disconnect messages yet? We are getting a big network here and it can take forever. In our usage, just a simple tone beep will suffice to lets us know. Any ideas? Chuck K0CMK http://byrg.net

Two Nodes/one pc problem
by Chuck Kraly 25 May '10

25 May '10

Got a "weird" one folks.... We recently set up our hub pc to have a 2nd hub on the same pc. The two hubs purpose is to have 440/220 rpts on one hub and all the 900 rpts on the other, That way 900 is stand alone 99.9% of the time. And when we need to link them, we can. So we have 27132 (440/220) hub and 2325 (900 hub) running one one pc and one Ethernet card. All is fine until we link 132 and 25 together. Then, having puttied into 132- we get a message :disconcerting from asterisk server" and ALL connections drop. It is like asterisk resets itself. Any ideas?

new version of chan_iax2
by Jim Duuuude 23 May '10

23 May '10

I integrated the latest (and hopefuly greatest) version of chan_iax2.c from the latest 1.4 version of Asterisk from Digium, and all its associated files. They are now in our SVN version of Aseriski/app_rpt on qrvc.com (at least after about 3:15 PM today). If any of you have seen strangeness with compatibility with other IAX2 devices, you might want to give this a try. It seems also, to work nicely communicating with older version of IAX2. JIM WB6NIL

Just beginning
by Ron Polluconi 22 May '10

22 May '10

Hello, I have built the CentOS system and installed it via the distribution disk along with Asterisk as part of the distribution. Everything seems OK but when I noticed that the .conf files were not passed the node and password information. I have edited the iax.conf and rpt.conf files and, hopefully resolved that issue. My issue is trying to make the modified CM105 fob come up and be recognized. Watching the boot process for CentOS it seems the fob is seen and recognized but when I enter into the the Radio Tune functions I get the following; Radio Tune Active Radio interface is [USB] Device string is Card is -1 The RED and Green LED's on the FOB are both on solid not flashing as noted in the set up text. When I try a command Radio Tune Txvoice 500 The response is Device USB currently not active. Any an all help is very much appreciated....
