Linux73 install over BAP + manual VARA = AX.25 and Direwolf issues #73linux #direwolf #IC-705

 

I was having trouble getting my new ICOM IC¨C705 working with my Raspberry Pi 4 - 8 GB running BAP, so Jason suggested that I install Linux73 on top of my existing BAP installation. I did that, and Kelly suggested that follow this with a manual install of the VARA Winlink components, which I did.

Jason:?/g/KM4ACK-Pi/topic/104659521

Kelly:?/g/KM4ACK-Pi/topic/102983790

All of the programs seemed to install correctly without any obvious errors and I went through and configured each program per the two videos that Jason has on setting up the IC ¨C 705.

ICOM 705 Build a Pi Setup

Getting Started with KM4ACK Build a Pi

However, I continue to get errors when using Pat Winlink. Even though rig control through flrig is working with other programs, within the pat mailbox window in Chromium I get errors saying:?

¡°QSY failed: unable to get rig frequency dial tcp 127.0.0.1:4532: connect: connection refused¡±


Unable to establish connection to remote: no AX.25 ports configured

And when I run?direwolf -p?from a terminal window I get more errors which seem to indicate a problem with rig control:

¡°rig_open?/home/rob/.config//home/rob/hamlibSettings does not exist¡±


Running direwolf -p from terminal

For reference, here are my serial and capture devices in terminal:


Serial devices ¡ª CAPTURE Hardware Devices

And here is the contents of my /etc/ax25/axports file:


/etc/ax25/axports file contents

Finally, for reference, the IC-705 does not show up as a Capture or Playback device in fldigi:


Fldigi does not show IC-705 Capture or Playback Devices

I feel a bit like the old expression, ¡°close, but no cigar¡±. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong here

Thanks in advance,

I am going to guess the same issue here is a problem?

if you set the line in direwolf config to?

PTT RIG 4 localhost:12345

launch flrig
launch direwolf

is this fixing the problem?

========================

No, same errors. ?I commented out:

# PTT RIG 2 localhost:4235 ? ? ? ? ? ?(this was from Jason¡¯s IC-705 videos¡­)

¡­and added this line below it:

PTT RIG 4 ?localhost:12345

Then when I open flrig, it connects to the radio and Conky reports ¡°FLRIG ACTIVE¡±

Then when I open Direwolf from the Hamradio menu, it says:

? ? ? Audio device for both receive and transmit: plughw:3,0 (channel 0)
? ? ? Channel 0: 1200 baud, AFSK 1200 & 2200 Hz, A+, 44100sample rate / 3 [ in green text ]
? ? ? Hamlib determined CAT control serial port rate of 0.
? ? ? Ready to accept AGW client application 0 on port 8000 ¡­
? ? ? Ready to accept KISS TCP client application on port 8001 ¡­

Conky reports DIREWOLF ACTIVE




But then, when I open the pat mailbox in Chromium, I get the same QSY failure message as before:

? ? ? Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:4532 connect connection refused.




So I opened Pat Menu to try to test VARA HF. When I clicked ¡°Stop Modems¡± and then ¡°Start VARA Modem (BETA)¡±, I got an error, ¡°It looks like direwolf is running. Stop all modems and try again¡± :




So I want back to the direwolf terminal window and did CONTROL-C to stop direwolf. Then when I clicked ¡°Start VARA Modem (BETA)¡±, it started up pat mailbox in chromium, but with the same QSY error when I tried to connect with packet:

? ? ? Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:4532 connect connection refused.




Interestingly, the flrig window showed that it was still connected to the radio at the correct frequency, but pat mailbox was not able to set the new frequency in flrig.

It seems the problem is between pat winlink and flrig ¡ª they aren¡¯t playing well with each other.

Why did you have me change direwolf.conf ?to?PTT RIG 4 ?localhost:12345 from Jason¡¯s PTT RIG 2 localhost:4235 ? It didn¡¯t seem to change anything¡­

Rob ? KK6JNI
 

it fixes direwolf but not this new thing.. it might be easier to fix that line back and run a command window with rigctl-net

start flrig
run a new terminal session with, rigctld -m4
run the PAT apps and see if that fixes?
-k
 

Kelly,

OK, I opened flrig and then ran this command:

? ?$?rigctld -m4

¡­ and terminal returned this error:

? ? ? rigctld: symbol lookup error: rigctld: undefined symbol: network_multicast_server



So I went ahead anyway and opened pat and tried the packet modem, the VARA FM modem and the VARA modem, and they all failed with the same QSY / rig control errors as before:

?
I¡¯m wondering if there is something fundamental wrong with my Linux73 installation that came about because I installed over the top of a BAP installation of the same apps? I keep getting these same AX25 / rig control errors¡­

On a whim, I tried running the Linux73 Update-Tool and it said that VARIM, XASTIR and PACKETSEARCH all NEEDS_UPDATE, so I ran the updater, rebooted and tried pat packet modem again, but the same errors appear.

I appreciate the time you¡¯re spending helping me troubleshoot this, what do you think is wrong ?

Thanks,

Rob ? KK6JNI
 

Sounds like you have a few versions of Hamlib that may have got messed up along the way possibly?libhamlib*.* in /usr/lib which need cleaned up, could try removing all hamlib insure it¡¯s not a deb and recompile it in.. if that tracks?


k
 

I did a find *hamlib* to see what files are present, and the list is below. Does this tell you enough to tell me how to proceed to clean up the unnecessary / conflicting files ?

Maybe this is a more precise search. Can you suggest how I could resolve the conflict ?

I don't have a perfect answer as things break easy but ..

? ? sudo apt-mark hold libhamlib*
? ? sudo apt-mark hold python3-hamlib
? ? sudo apt-get -y remove libhamlib*

will stop apt and remove, of which you can try a reinstall but .. this is a rabbit hole

k
 

OK Kelly, I ran the three commands that you suggested.

(I ran $ sudo apt-get remove libhamlib* without the -y because I wanted to see the removal list.) This command suggested that I follow-up with running?sudo apt autoremove , which I did.

The console results are shown below.?How do you recommend that I install a fresh hamlib ?

And before I reinstall, do I need to run apt-mark unhold for the packages I previously held?

Thanks again,

Rob ? KK6JNI
