New Acid install - kickstart download fail from USB
by Larry da Ponte 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

First time AllStar user and node setup. I have a small form factor PC with no CD ROM or floppy. I've created a Acid Centos install on a USB stick but after it successfully boots from the stick and status the install it complains it can't find the kickstart file and then prompts me for cdrom. I've confirmed the ks.cfg is in /Dev/sdb1:/ks.cfg but even with kickstart boot options it fails to find it. Same PC installs Centos 7 from same USB stick without issue. I've used the Centos Wiki page To create a USB stick install using the Centos-5 section but this method rests in a USB key that is not recognized by eufi as bootable. I'm using an acid_centos.iso downloaded a couple of days ago from the AllStar home page. I have not tried putting the ks.cfg on an FTP or web server yet - anyone have success with Acid install from stick? I also burned the ISO to a CD and booted from a USB CD ROM drive but it also fails to "download" the kickstart - exact experience as USB key. Have tried all three of the USB ports on this PC. Have also tried two different USB sticks. 73 -Larry

Problem with a post-install on an inactive node (28781)
by Dave Newmyer 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hello, I have been attempting to get my simplex node back up and running after being off of the air for a couple of years. The ULI device and radio are the same, but the computer, installation software, ect. are all different. I am using a new install from an acid-centos.iso I downloaded a couple of days ago. At post-install, I get the following: mpg123:no process killed. Asterisk ended with exit status 1 Asterisk died with code 1 Automatically restarting Asterisk This repeats over and over. I checked the archives, and found a series of postings from someone who had a similar problem some time back. In reading the log file /var/log/asterisk/messages the errors refer to a problem with Zaptel. One of the suggestions was to update Asterisk from SVN, then update Zaptel. After doing this, Asterisk started, and I was able to perform system info and time DTMF commands to my node. Later, I tried resetting the computer and after restarting it, I am back to the mpg123:no process killed. Asterisk ended with exit status 1 Asterisk died with code 1 Automatically restarting Asterisk Errors over and over and over again. I am thinking that possibly my config files on the AllStar.org website might have an issue, but on one of my re-installs of the software from the cd, I chose not to download the remote configs. Anyway, I am not sure what to try next. 73, Dave N N0KM --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

hda1 cleanup
by kk6ecm 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

We have an ACID build on one of our repeaters that has been crashing. It appears hda1 is full. I'm looking for suggestions to clean it up. Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 18G 18G 0 100% / tmpfs 375M 0 375M 0% /dev/shm [root@xxx /]# du -ks /* | sort -nr | head 16124492 /var 1466656 /usr 126644 /lib 91508 /etc 30580 /sbin 11004 /boot 7336 /bin 932 /tmp 172 /root 92 /dev [root@xxx /]# with just a few bytes in root... I can't account for 18G used of disk space. My other ACID build looks good and only uses about 2.7 G. Any ideas? Thanks, Bob kk6ecm

text to speech /google_tts
by George Csahanin 06 Sep '15

06 Sep '15

Trying to get weather stuff running on a new RPi and it isn't flying. I have chased it to the Google side. The snippets of words get sent to google translator, and mp3 files come back, and the script sticks all the files together in order. But the routine fails in lame conversion. I have taken other mp3's and lame converts them fine. When I try to run either the assembled mp3 or one of the individual mp3 files I get header error on them. Also noted that the individual files, maybe 50-80 of them are only about 400 bytes long and after cat puts them together the file is maybe 50k, which sounds wrong. I didn't do anything to this stuff, just using what was in Doug's Raspberry Pi distro, which otherwise works great. Anybody have any suggestions on this conversion? I see older versions of w0anm's scripts do not sent the text to Google for conversion but instead use one of two applications to convert them. Guessing the choice to move it off the pi was based on processor horsepower. GeorgeC W2DB 2360

Nodename Repository
by Scott Weis 05 Sep '15

05 Sep '15

Here is a service I offer for syncing custom node names for anyone interested. Add this line to your crontab 00 00,12 * * * /usr/bin/rsync -av rsync://reflector.kb2ear.net/nodenames/ /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames/ By using rsync your system will only get files that are newer than the ones already there, keeping my bandwidth usage down. To add your node to the repository go to: http://reflector.kb2ear.net/ubr_file_upload.php make sure your file is named <nodenumber>.wav,gsm,ulaw If it tells you the file is not allowed the file probably already exists, email it to me and I'll fix the upload. If you have a large number of files zip them up and then upload. Or just email me the files. once I test the file to make sure it plays in asterisk I'll add it to the repository for everyone to download. 73, Scott KB2EAR kb2ear(a)kb2ear.net

Re: [App_rpt-users] RTCM Host LED Flashing
by Jesse Lloyd 05 Sep '15

05 Sep '15

I did log in remotely, and it flashed debug information regarding loss of connectivity to server, then reconnected, then GPS re-lock messages. What I did was change the network duplex, and in the hour or so I didn't see any more of those messages. So maybd I had a Ethernet duplex mismatch. Also, I don't have the failover set on that site.

audio problem
by Mike Christie 04 Sep '15

04 Sep '15

I have a problem with connecting two Nodes with link radios attached by URI's. Has anyone experience an audio echo when linking two nodes together? I have reading about the audio delay problems here but it's not the same. The following is my setup; Running both nodes on an Acid system using one computer. The computer is a Pentium 4 3 Ghz, 1 Gig of Ram 80 gig HDD Both link radios are running on different bands 6 meters and 900mhz. With both connect together I get an audio echo, unlinking it will go away. Both operate just fine when separately to connected to another system but when I connect in the second node to the same system everyone hears an echo from me. I do not have a reverse of that, in that I don't have an echo when both are connected and I am just receiving. There is no RF problem between the two radio's. Is there an audio processing delay between the to nodes? Any thoughts or ideas would greatly be appreciated.

Re: [App_rpt-users] mikrotik and Allstar registration problem
by Tim Sawyer 04 Sep '15

04 Sep '15

Posting this again because the list didn't take my attachment. If you want to see the screenshot contact me off list. In the mean time here's the command line way to do it: ip firewall nat add action=masquerade chain=srcnat comment="HairPin NAT" out-interface=ether1-WAN src-address=192.168.1.0/24 add action=dst-nat chain=dstnat comment="Asterisk AIX" dst-port=4569 in-interface=ether1-WAN protocol=udp to-addresses=\ 192.168.1.6 to-ports=4569 --------- There is a little thing to know about MikroTik routers and AllStar registration. It took me a long time to sort this out and I almost gave up on MikroTik. But don't despair they are really good routers. You have to have both the out-interface and the in-interface set properly on the masquerade rule. If you forget the out interface the AllStar registration packets go to all interfaces. That really confuses Asterisk if you have AllStar on more then one interface.
