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. If you can lead, I'll follow! 73, Mike WM4B -----Original Message----- From: App_rpt-users [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@lists.allstarlink.org] On Behalf Of Steve Zingman Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2018 7:49 PM To: app_rpt-users(a)lists.allstarlink.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Kernel Headers for RaspberryPi Stretch Image Mike, What is it you are trying to do?

Will "Always Parrot" - Mode = 2 work headless ?
by Mike 25 May '18

25 May '18

Was going to make a test/echo-node and after setting the extra node up with parrot =2 (always parrot) it does nothing. I tried to set-up as if it were a simplex node but nothing. I'm guessing this will not work on a headless node. Anyone know for sure before I dig deeper or create my own method for what I'm doing/or trying to do. ...mike/kb8jnm

SSH Login Issue
by David 25 May '18

25 May '18

I must be missing something. Everything went well with the new image. I am able to access the ip via putty. It gives me "Access denied" when I enter name and password for repeater. The name and password works fine from a monitor/keyboard plugged directly into the pi. I loaded the zip image this time and followed the readme file as mention in a previous email. This is my first dial node, but have 7 other nodes I ssh into all the time local and remote. I not grasping something that is staring at me:) Any help is appreciated null

Kernel Headers for RaspberryPi Stretch Image
by Mike Besemer 24 May '18

24 May '18

Got the Raspbian Stretch image installed to my Pi 3B and followed the directions (below) from the readme file at: <http://dvswitch.org/files/ASL_Images/Raspberry_Pi/Stretch/2018-03-13-raspbi an-stretch.readme>: "This is the last Raspbian Stretch version that supports OSS which is required for AllStarLink. When Raspbian installs the kernel headers, again required for AllStarLink, it installs the latest, NOT the kernel headers for the running kernel. To add the proper kernel headers to the Stretch image, you should do the following as root: cd /tmp wget http://dvswitch.org/files/ASL_Images/Raspberry_Pi/Stretch/raspberrypi-kernel -headers_1.20171029-1_armhf.deb dpkg -i raspberrypi-kernel-headers_1.20171029-1_armhf.deb Once this completes: apt-mark hold raspberrypi-kernel-headers raspberrypi-kernel apt-get update apt-get upgrade -y reboot" All of this seemed to go as expected, but when I rebooted, I received a notice that the latest image had been installed. Did that just undo the changes I made above? If so, how do I prevent that from happening? Sorry, I'm not a Linux guy; just trying to muddle through. 73, Mike WM4B

Anyone having issues with Echolink and FIOS (Frontier)
by Steve Siesel 24 May '18

24 May '18

All, Just recently my connectivity to Echolink stopped working even though the port forwarding rules have not changed. On-line UDP port checkers say the port is closed or filtered. Is anyone else having the same issues? Frontier Fios will not confirm or deny that the port is blocked however they say that the port is also linked to spyware and spam. ( words from Frontier) Any thoughts? Steve K4KSA

Finally found what was realy happening.. I was running two instance of the same node number (40660). The first one located on the Dominican Republic and the second one on Puerto Rico. Two different ISPs and IP address.

RTL_SDR for receive
by KD2NFC - Joe 24 May '18

24 May '18

I could use some help to connect the dots here. I was trying to use a rtl-sdr to pipe a receive signal into the input or receive audio for asterisk instead of using the mic in on the usb audio fob. Heres what I got so far. I can get a rtl-sdr installed in the Arch Linux by using pacman -s rtl-sdr. Install reboot and plug in rtl-sdr. You can run lsusb to see if the computer sees it or run rtl_test. Now to get the audio piped to audio device in the computer we have to create a loopback right? So modprobe snd-aloop to get the loopbacks setup but its not the usb audio but on the card1?? Then if you run this command, it will pipe a FM 12Khz bandwidth centered on 446.160 mhz and pipe it to the loopback device which is the device name of the loopback. rtl_fm -M USB -f 446.160M -A fast -s 12K -p -0 -g 0.0 | aplay -r 12k -t raw -D default:CARD=Loopback -c 1 -f S16_LEaplay -r 12k -t raw -c 1 -f S16_LE I added these two items in rc.local so rtl-sdr input and loopbacks are setup before asterisk starts. After doing some reading. https://github.com/sm0svx/svxlink/issues/250 <----took some notes from here. I added the input and output device name in the alsa.conf In asterisk/alsa.conf define the audio ports pointing to alsa loopback devices: input_device= default:CARD=Loopback output_device=default:CARD=Device in modules.conf I enabled chan_alsa.so and after reboot with chan_alsa.so loaded I get no audio at all. My radio keys up at bootup but I get no initial greeting, no audio is coming through. Now I wasn't expecting this to work of the top, I still need to figure out how the node is going to get cos from the rtl-sdr, I could try to use ctcss but can anyone help me connect the dots on this with what I have so far. Thanks, Joe Kd2nfc
