New version of QnetGateway, please uninstall before downloading!

 

There are several changes in this release. It is very important to uninstall your system before upgrading. The Makefile had been installing system scripts in /lib/systemd/system and I realized they should have been going in /etc/systemd/system instead. It's not a really big deal where they end up, but I should follow Linux convention. So you will want to completely uninstall your system before downloading the new code (including a new Makefile) and reinstalling.

This version fixed IRC logging. It had been broken for several releases, ever since I redesigned the IRC routing cache used by qngateway. If you turn IRC Logging on, you'll see most of the traffic that comes to qngateway from the IRC server, updating mostly what reflectors users are using and gateways as they log into the openquad.net network.

The qnconfig script will not let you accidentally specify an IRC hostname with commas instead of periods.

I also found a much faster way for the dashboards to report you IP addresses. Instead of using "curl", which can be incredibly slow at times, the dashboards now use a dns utility called "dig". Most Linux distributions include dig in a package called dnsutils, but unfortunately it is not included in the Raspberry Pi OS, at least in the Lite version. So, Raspberry Pi Owners, you have two choices:

  • Install the dns package with "sudo apt update && sudo apt install dnsutils", or,
  • Simply uninstall and reinstall the dashboard with "sudo make uninstalldash && sudo make installdash".

NOOB question... how does one uninstall it?
 

Everything can be done from the ./qnadmin menu. See Section 2 of the Wiki.

The only thing you have to be careful of is if, when you do the "git pull", you might end up pulling down a new version of qnadmin.
git pull will show you what files are being updated and if you are currently using qnadmin and it pull down a new version, you should exit qnadmin as soon as you can. After that, you can start it up again and continue where you left off.
 

So that is why I could in IS after I GPed till I gave up on using Mobile SSH and switched to Putty on the Windozer .

Oh it worked just fine up and running I may need to update the Configure "D" (upper case) a bit though But that's optional.
