Re: QTsoundmodem ptt and goio
Yes, it should. You can select GPIO in the PTT setup. I haven't
tried it for a while so would be interested to hear if it still
works.

Re: Help with CTEXT Format and ASCII Codes
Hi Tom.?It seems to me that you are ending the CTEXT with four asterisks (****) instead of three (***). I have already made ascii art in CTEXT and it worked fine.
After a streesfull week with a steep learning courve my LinBBQ is running and I even got ZORK and WORDL up and running.
Now, I thought it was time to meake it pretty and wanted to Add soem collor to the Propmpt, with now luck.
Colorcodes are not Working.
I tried '\033[32m? ?... (my TEXT) ...? ? \033[0m'
LinBPQ Start without Problem, but no collores are displayd via telnet in Bitvise nor AX25 in Putty, bot, bitvise an putte should be capeable of showing colors.
I also tried some kind of AscII ART in CTEXT between CTEXT: and ****
eg:
CTEXT:
____ _ _ ____ ____ ____ _
| _ \| | | | __ )| __ ) ___| | |__ _ _
| |_) | |_| | _ \| _ \___ \ | '_ \| | | |
| _ <| _ | |_) | |_) |__) | | |_) | |_| |

| | | | | | | | / _ \ | | | |\/| |
| |_| | |_| | |/ ___ \| | | | | |
|____/ \___/|_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_|
****
Loock nicer in Terminal..
With the ASCII Art the Linbpq wouldent even Start.
By trying so it prompted, 'Translation Error'?

Is there any Trick to get this things Working?

Re: BPQMail and RMS Forwarding
I received a few private messages about dropping the WW in addition to this thread.? This has solved the issue and it's no longer going to SMTP: (which I saw on one other occasion after changing some user options), or RMS:

Thank you!

Re: BPQMail and RMS Forwarding
You don't need the WW on the end, but it shouldn't cause the message
being sent to Winlink, so it sounds like a bug. I'll look into it,
but as Eric says removing the WW should stop it.

Limit on NNTP message size Re Claws?
Hi is there some limitation on the max size of a NNTP pull from BPQ with claws?
A recent bull sent to BBS@WW with bbs list is ~ 70K. When I try to view it in claws, I get the following on BPQ-6.0.24.54 w/ claws 4.3.0 (64 bit Arch Linux AUR package).
This message can't be displayed.
This is probably due to a network error.
Use 'Network Log' in the Tools menu for more information.

Re: New bpq32 install connection refused
Correction ion previous post:
?
For the line:
sudo setcap "CAP_NET_ADMIN=ep CAP_NET_RAW=ep CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=ep" pi
"pi" here should instead be the name of the executable. (probably pilinbpq or linbpq)
|
Re: New bpq32 install connection refused
A few things:
?
You stated you are using Direwolf, but your config is setup for a serial "PITNC".
For direwolf, you should be using the Network KISS options to connect your BPQ node to DireWolf.
?
Your port one for DireWolf for 2M should look more like this if DireWolf is running on the same system:
Replace the PORTNUM as needed, IP if running on another device, Port if KISS Listen on direwolf, and beacon call
PORT
PORTNUM=1
ID=144.930 MHz 1200 bps
TYPE=ASYNC
SPEED=19200
PROTOCOL=KISS
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
TCPPORT=8001
RESPTIME=1500
MHEARD=Y
BCALL=KN4MKB-7
MINQUAL=100
KISSOPTIONS=NOPARAMS
CHANNEL=A
FULLDUP=0
NOKEEPALIVES=1
ENDPORT
?
Your DireWolf Config for 2M should look something like this after your Audio/PTT config:
MODEM 1200
RETRY 5
FRACK 3
MAXFRAME 7
EMAXFRAME 30
PACLEN 128
DWAIT 0
TXDELAY 25
TXTAIL 15
MAXV22 3
?
With that out of the way, you probably need to enter the following command to allow non root users to use all ports (replace 'pi' with your pi username is different):
sudo setcap "CAP_NET_ADMIN=ep CAP_NET_RAW=ep CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=ep" pi
?
And gove the executable the right permissions:
sudo chmod +x linbpq
?
I'm not familiar with the Ham stack you are running.
It may have a firewall installed you aren't aware of.
?
Try the following commands to open the ports as the root user:
sudo su
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport PORTNUMBER -j ACCEPT
ufw allow PORTNUMBER
?
If the pi is in the same network as the connecting device, your router and it's forwarded ports have nothing to do with it.
NAT/ Port Forwarding is a routing/firewall function to direct traffic from one network to the port of a device on another.
If your devices are on the same network (255.255.255.0/24), then the NAT is bypassed anyways as it doesn't need to happen.
?
Not to knock the people who build them, but a lot of those autoinstall config builders and install scripts put a lot of "stuff" into the config files they generate.
Things change over time, and everyone setup is different, and it just usually doesn't go well with BPQ for the config portion. If you are ever to change anything in the future, you will need to understand the config anyways.
?
"I tried browser connection to http://127.0.0.1:8010 and Telnet to 127.0.0.1 8010.? Both of these result in 'connection refused' messages."
So if you you doing this from the Pi itself it may be fine.
But if you are connecting from elsewhere, like in your previous post, you need to use the LAN address of your Pi instead of 127.0.0.1.
You can use "ip a" in a terminal to see it.
?
I recommend you just remove the LinBPQ installation, purge any systemd entries, and start from scratch.?
?
I've written a detailed guide to build your own configuration you can find here:
?
Follow along the above link, and also open:
?
That way you can build your config file, follow along and check Johns Documentation to make sure you don't need to tweak something, or add something.
Being a SysOP, I think it pays to build your own. That way you really understand what each of the lines mean and what they do.

Re: ARDOPCF and QtSoundModem?
Hi Niels,
Thanks for the feedback. I have spent the better part of the last two days reviewing group threads and anything else I could find that might help. I pretty much get the same results you show below with versions?1.0.4.1.1, 1.0.4.1.2, and 1.0.4.1.3 no matter how I tweak values within dsnoop and dmix.
I even tried compiling with different hard coded values as suggested in one of the threads by Peter LaRue and while I have little experience coding for soundcard audio I think the following results from a test with hard coded values suggests that the inability to utilize dsnoop / dmix within .asoundrc is at least in part still an issue with ardopcf and not entirely an alsa problem as some suggest.
WARNING: Inconsistent ALSA playback configuration: 1000000 * 12000 != 12000 * 1000000.
WARNING: The -A option was specified.? So, ALSA misconfiguration will be ignored.? This option is ONLY intended for testing/debuging.? It IS NOT INTENDED FOR NORMAL USE.
Very curious that ardopcf determines 1000000 * 12000 != 12000 * 1000000 ???
Between that error / bug and what seems like little interest in pursuing the issue based on Peter's comments at the bottom of the discussion at I am inclined to pass on ardopcf at least until it is a little further along in development. Running ARDOP_Win.exe via wine on linux works far better on the x86 and x64 systems here than does ardopcf and it plays nice with dsnoop and dmix as long as the wine registry is updated properly.

Hi
John et al,
Although I've had no issues for several years using your ardopc
both x86 and x64 I finally got around to testing with ardopcf for
no good reason other than to busy myself for a few hours given the
claim of many bug fixes... which led me to this thread from back
in July.
I am so far only able to make ardopcf work by dedicating the ALSA
audio device. Everything else I try including completely replacing
the .asoundrc here with dmix, dsnoop, and plug entries as in your
example all fail complaining about something called the playback
"period size". I even tried specifying multiple combinations of
periods, period_time, buffer_time, period_size, and buffer_size in
the .asoundrc to no avail.
So before getting into any details I should mention I have no
inclination to change what works and your ardopc / ardopc64 work
fine here with no problem sharing the audio device via dsnoop and
dmix. I am posting this mostly to ask if you or others in the
group have been able to make ardopcf share the audio device on x86
/ x64 systems (I think the initial thread was for rPi's which I do
not use here) and more importantly if the claim of many bugs being
fixed in ardopcf make it worthwhile to switch from ardopc(64)
assuming it can be made to share audio. Otherwise not experiencing
any "bugs" in ardopc(64) here I may as well just leave things
alone.
There are FWIW some limited details below.
73 de Rich WA3WLH
Here is an example of how I use your ardopc64 and share the audio
without issue using my .asoundrc:

Re: ARDOPCF and QtSoundModem?
You need to add the -A parameter to the ardopcf command line. Even with this I can't get the latest version to work and am currently using ardop-1.0.4.1.2. The error message is different (if I remember correctly is to to with sample rate).
Even with the older version another ham couldn't get it to work, and had use my binary.? I run on a 64 bit Pi.
I've had a look at the source changes between ardop-1.0.4.1.2 and the latest but haven't so far found what has changed. When I have a bit more time I'll investigate further.

Although I've had no issues for several years using your ardopc both x86 and x64 I finally got around to testing with ardopcf for no good reason other than to busy myself for a few hours given the claim of many bug fixes... which led me to this thread from back in July.
I am so far only able to make ardopcf work by dedicating the ALSA audio device. Everything else I try including completely replacing the .asoundrc here with dmix, dsnoop, and plug entries as in your example all fail complaining about something called the playback "period size". I even tried specifying multiple combinations of periods, period_time, buffer_time, period_size, and buffer_size in the .asoundrc to no avail.
So before getting into any details I should mention I have no inclination to change what works and your ardopc / ardopc64 work fine here with no problem sharing the audio device via dsnoop and dmix. I am posting this mostly to ask if you or others in the group have been able to make ardopcf share the audio device on x86 / x64 systems (I think the initial thread was for rPi's which I do not use here) and more importantly if the claim of many bugs being fixed in ardopcf make it worthwhile to switch from ardopc(64) assuming it can be made to share audio. Otherwise not experiencing any "bugs" in ardopc(64) here I may as well just leave things alone.
There are FWIW some limited details below.

Here is an example of how I use your ardopc64 and share the audio without issue using my .asoundrc:
./ardopc64 8515 IC7700_asym IC7700_asym

Yet using ardopcf with the same .asoundrc fails:
