Re: subMenu item setup for WSJT-X ?? #pi #linux

 

Do the following

sudo apt install synaptic?

After installing, synaptic will show in your preferences drop down menu click it on and go to its amateur radio programs. Most ham programs for the pi are there, including a ham radio menu item that provides a menu and puts all your ham programs there.?

Your Pi doesn't have .exe files. That's a Windows peculiarity.

Re: #pi #linux #flrig How to set uo rpi Menu?? #flrig #pi #linux

 

Hello John,

Clicking the Raspberry Pi icon in the upper left hand corner of the display
reveals the drop-down menu. Click the Preferences icon (third from bottom),
and chose Main Menu Editor from the fly-out menu. The user interface is
pretty intuitive. I'm sure you can take it from there.

Best regards,

Re: SSH Disconnects

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

So if your going across a router it is rewriting the ip packets, changing the addresses to allow local traffic to appear to come from the router, and then rewriting the responses to go back to the original device. To do this it is notes what it did in a table, many routers will drop this info if there is no traffic for five to ten minutes, so you really need to lower the client alive interval to five to ten minutes, a high retry count / interval can be used to help the connection survive a momentary connection drop in the path as long as it isn't the router losing its table.

Good luck!

Subject: Re: [RaspberryPi-4-HamRadio] SSH Disconnects

Thanks guys for the responses. They set me on the way toward a possible resolution, which I haven¡¯t yet achieved.

SOME CLARIFICATIONS:

1.?????? The Putty error message is - Network Error: Software caused connection to abort.

2.?????? Several different Putty ¡°keep alive¡± time setting failed to prevent the problem.

3.?????? The problem is not router based. At the abort Putty stays connected to the RPi, only the login to RPi is broken. Also the router log shows no activity at the time of the problem.

4.?????? If the RPi WSPR TX is run directly on the RPi (no SSH), the login does not break even after hours of activity and also does not break at 01:30 to 02:30 UTC as it does when run via SSH.

I believe these indicate that the problem must be with the RPi¡¯s SSHD implementation.

ACTIONS TAKEN:

1.?????? root/usr/share/openssh/sshd_config was edited to enable ClientAliveInterval and set its value to 14400 (4 hours) and to enable ClientAliveCountMax and set its value to 3. This provides 12 hours of daylight operation, but does not stop the abort at 01:30 UTC. There are probably about 30 possible settings in my sshd_config, but only 3 (5 with my changes) are enabled. I guess the defaults are generally OK, or should others be enabled?

2.?????? As suggested, I have viewed dmesg. but all I see there seems to relate to boot up, not loss of login. Most of the other Internet advice about sshd logs is generic Linux and references files that I don¡¯t find on my RPi.

3.?????? I have looked at the log files in root/var/log. The applicable files all carry a time stamp consistent with my logging back into Pi again after the abort. The only one that I can read is debug and there is nothing in it with a time stamp consistent with the abort ¨C all times are for my re-logging into Pi.

?? So the problem remains, and any further suggestions would be appreciate.

Thanks,

is the error you get if the wifi disconnects from the Pi, then comes back, but the ssh connection isn't automatically restarted.? if you reboot the pi while you are ssh'd in you get the same message

Hello Tom,

Are you sure your Rpi isn't loosing it's wifi connection during this 0130 to 0230 UTC?? Try running this command on your Rpi and as you can see from my example, one of my Rpi looses it's link often.? Once it looses the link, all SSH sessions will be automatically disconnected.

If you're seeing a similar issue on your side, you need to improve your Wifi connection's reliability.? To get a signal strength report, you can run this script:

/usr/local/bin/get-wifi-stats.sh
--
#!/bin/bash

# 05/25/21 - dranch - minor fixes
# 04/19/21 - dranch - original version

echo -en "\nWifi Signal strength: "
iw wlan0 station dump | grep signal | awk '{print $2}'?
echo -e "?? -70 dbm or less? : is a weak signal and the link will drop if it gets much weaker"
echo -e "?? -60 dbm to -50?? : is a good signal"
echo -e "?? -40 dbm or better: is a great signal"

echo -en "\nWifi RX speed: "
iw wlan0 station dump | grep 'rx bitrate' | awk '{print $3}'
echo -en "Wifi TX speed: "
iw wlan0 station dump | grep 'tx bitrate' | awk '{print $3}'
echo -en "Wifi session reconnects since last reboot: "
iw wlan0 station dump | grep failed | awk '{print $3}'

echo " "

If you cannot fix this link drop issue, you need to change your approach to deal with this.? Running sessions within a re-attachable screen / tmux / etc might be important.

Re: SSH Disconnects

 

My 2 cents worth
If you are using an Apple IOS device version 14.xx (Iphone and Ipad) its necessary to go into the IOS settings and change the privacy setting. ? On Windows 7 my putty.exe was pretty old so it was updated and that fixed the connection problem.

The very very latest IOS 14.nn+1 update kills a lot of our favorite programs for remote control and I¡¯ve not yet found the solution however WEB based apps like Astroberry and the CSN Satellite controller work fine because we use a web browser to access them. ?

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: [RaspberryPi-4-HamRadio] SSH Disconnects

 

Also, consider setting up the TCP Keep-alive feature in your PuTTY configuration (you've already saved it, so you can just double-click to restart the session, yes?).

Select your session from the list, then click the Load button... Under the "Connection" menu item, select the checkbox for TCP keep-alive, and then go back to the session tab, and save your configuration again. This may also be enough traffic to trigger DHCP to renew your lease again...

Best regards,

Re: Which Pi ?

 

This solution is not plug-n-play and it's not a Pi, however, I know of many that have used them for years and at very remote sites. One ham I know has three of these on mountain tops where winter conditions are extreme and they just keep working. The beauty of this unit is that it is all contained in one package that you connect to the radio.

Re: Which Pi ?

 

To answer the question "Which PI?"

Assuming you are speaking of a Packet TNC 1200 baud.. any Raspberry pi has plenty of Horse power. A RPI4 is actually overkill...

I use and have used for at least 8-10 years a RPI2 with a Coastal Chipsworks TNC-PI kit, that I have had no problems using for APRS and Packet. It just keeps playing...

You can find RPI2's and 3's for less than $35 retail price. Ebay is a source.? I bought a few RPI3B+ for $27 at Microcenter about January.
I also recommend VILROS.COM for a mail order source. I have used them 4-5 times. They are in NJ and sometimes have free shipping options. NJ to KS where I am located has been 2 says all 4-5 times.. So people on the east coast can probably get 1 day service. Standard shipping is USPS.

There is also the TARPN NinoTNC
Same size as a pi, but it's USB instead of GPIO.? I run one for Mobile APRS, and was running one for an iGate at the QTH.? The have shut down for a month on selling them, but I still have a couple bare boards I'll part with for shipping cost.? They have a full parts list and Mouser BOM on their site with all instructions.? Only thing you'd need to wait for is the programmed processor chip from them.? I think the chip is 9.00 or so, the Mouser parts package is about 24.00.
