ITAP seems to have stopped working after update

 

I updated the QNetGateway software and i can't seem to get the radio to communicate and link and such. I looked at the journals and i think they are working but the qnetgateway isn't scrolling as much as i remember.
I have attached a screenshot.

Hi Russell,

Sorry your having trouble. Your R1 and R2 are backwards in qnlink. I don't know why that's happening.

Please go to your build directory and do:

sudo make uninstallitap
make clean
git pull
git checkout master
make itap

Don't forget to add -j4 to the end of the make command if you are compiling on a regular Raspberry Pi. Then before you reinstall, check to make sure no other QnetGateway process are running:

ps aux | grep qn

Then you can get more log output by adding:

log = {
???????? qso = true
}

to the end of your qn.cfg file. Then you can reinstall:

sudo make installitap

Then you should see a lot of log entries every time you key up or something comes in. (You can remove the log stuff after you get things working again, if you want.) qnlink should have your configured repeater module in R1 and your gateway channel in R2.

Thanks, that got me going again!

Here is some output when I was going through your attached steps:

Already up-to-date.
Already on 'master'
pi? ? ? ?28030? 0.0? 0.0? ?4376? ?580 pts/0? ? S+? ?21:25? ?0:00 grep --color=auto qn

Originally, I tried doing the "quick" update then when it wasn't working i did the longer steps but this but what you just sent is what fixed it.
Still not sure if I did something wrong during the update??

Thanks for the excellent support as always!!

73, Russell

Hi Russell,

I'm not quite sure what went wrong originally, but I'm happy your up a running again. The extra commands were to just make sure you didn't somehow end up on an unstable development branch. "ps aux | grep qn" is a great way to make sure you don't have an unwanted QnetGateway app running. It's easy to get into this state if, for example, you have a Raspberry Pi that is used for both ITAP mode and MMDVMHost mode.

Being ever vigilant, ps aux will also report that you are also running a grep command looking for "qn". To sharpen your Linux skills, if you don't want to see the grep line, you can do "ps aux | grep qn | head --lines=-1"!
