Log Files - DIAL Install

I was working on my conference node making some changes and was having issues saving files and determined the hard drive is full. Since I am not a Linux expert, where would I look for an excessive amount of log files or anything else that would east HDD space. Thanks Jamey Wright - WR4JW

RTCM [RX Packet Out of Bounds] ***Updated***
by Kevin Babich 28 May '18

28 May '18

All, I operate a network of RTCM's and occasionally find on the individual RTCM console the syntax "RX Packet Out of Bounds by [insert value] ms. The network is comprised of proper Aviat Microwave and Cisco switch gear, with extremely stable latencies, sub microsecond, as reported by Solar Winds. That said, can someone help to enlighten me where to begin troubleshooting? This is what is reported by selecting "98 - Status": Current Samples / Sec.: 8000 Current Peak Audio Level: 56056 Squelch Noise Gain Value: 47, Diode Cal. Value: 41, SQL pot 185 Current Time: Sun May 27, 2018 23:30:42.300 Last Rx Pkt System time: 05/27/2018 23:30:23.020, diff: 19280 msec Last Rx Pkt Timestamp time: 05/27/2018 23:30:23.020, diff: 0 msec Last Rx Pkt index: 160, inbounds: 1 The "Last Rx Pkt System time" is always off, and I am unsure how to synchronize it to current time (this doesn't appear to impact performance). However, "Last Rx Pkt Timestamp time" is always perfectly synchronized. The out of bounds message is typically found on the Master Timing Source and at least one other RTCM. While reporting out of bounds, simulcast operation is unacceptable until the RTCM's reporting the same are reset. I cannot correlate any network issue to the RTCM messaging.

Additional Info for ALL on Echolink troubleshooting
by Mike 27 May '18

27 May '18

I guess I should not take for granted very many things on this but neither should anyone else. Let me state something that everyone should realize but perhaps does not with ASL nodes at 'home' with echolink. Your cellphone equipped with echolink should NOT be set to ''run echolink in the background'' when you are at home and connected to the same wifi that your echolink node is. (you could turn your wifi off on your phone and wait 15m+) So when you come home, and echolink is really still running in the background, and your phone sees that you are connectable to your home network. It does connect to your wifi automatically and with echolink running in the background, it creates a port clash. And your not even using it. Even with proper port forwarding. And you will think it is your ISP. Works sometimes and not others. Simple as that. The default set-up is to run in the background just like wifi to connect automatically when it hears it. It does not matter that one is a '-L' or '-R' and the other is personal call. 'cause they are trying to use the same ports. Think about that the next time you troubleshoot one ! _It really should be the first thing looked for in home asl/echolink node connectivity_. For all the years I have been subscribed reading this list, I have watched EL be the number one trouble on this list, again and again and this is the root of most of it with 'home nodes'. But it is just simple networking overlooking all that is happening behind the nat. So there you go... one good instance to have a node in the cloud/vps. LOL Have a great Holiday Weekend ! ...mike/kb8jnm

Echolink....
by Steve Siesel 26 May '18

26 May '18

All... I have been having some issues with Echolink lately..First, I do believe my UDP ports 5198 and 5199 are being blocked. As I understand it.This only concerns operations via Smartphone. My Echolink link node K4KSA-L is listed as being on in the Echolink status page. However, when using the desktop client, I do see the following..However the desktop app does not make a connection and times out.. Any thoughts?

Re: [App_rpt-users] Kernel Headers for RaspberryPi Stretch Image

Got that done, but now having no luck getting the Pi 3B+ to connect to WLAN. Worked fine with the GUI, but CLI isn't connecting. Looks like lots of folks are having issues with the 3B+ connecting to WLAN via CLI. Tried most everything I've seen on the 'net; open to suggestions.

Making a bootable USB install
by Lu V 26 May '18

I just downloaded the latest ISO image, and it is too large to fit on a CD. I think it might be time for me to learn how to create a bootable USB stick and place the image on it. Can someone please direct me to some instructions on how to perform this task? Thanks. Lu, KA4EPS

Re: [App_rpt-users] Kernel Headers for RaspberryPi Stretch Image

Sorry Steve... should have mentioned that. This is my initial setup for the Pi (and my first node), so I burned the Raspian Stretch image to an SD card and then followed the instructions in the readme file I mentioned below. I can navigate the command line ok, but at this point I'm just following instructions as I find them. From what I gathered, the image at dvswitch.org had headers which were too new and I needed to install older versions - or at least that my interpretation of the instructions. At any rate, everything describe below worked as advertised, but when I did the reboot, I got the message that said Raspian had been updated to the latest version. I'm wondering if that overwrote the older kernel headers I'd just installed. If I'm barking up the wrong tree, I don't mind regrouping... I don't have much time invested so far and this project is more about learning than it is about the final product. To me, it seems like the things that are needed to get from zero to a working node are kind of scattered, and I'm struggling a bit with that... mostly because I can't sit for an hour or two at time to work on it right now.
