Re: [Xastir] script files

[Tate KA7O]

Pathing.

Linux does NOT do like Windows and search the current directory for
commands.

You can run "echo $PATH" to see what your environment's path is set to.

If you run 'pwd'  you see where you are, currently. Possibly /home/

I assume your scripts are located in "/usr/local/share/xastir/scripts/"

Problem is, that script location is not in your systems 'Path' variable.
So, you can either add it to your path, or be explicit when giving your
commands.

Two ways to do this:

1) Give the full path with the command: "/usr/local/share/xastir/scripts/
get-fcc-rac.pl"

or

2) if you're currently in a directory that contains the command/script
(test with ls),
then use: "./get-fcc-rac.pl" (note the dot, slash at the beginning)

"./" tells the interpreter to find the following command in the current
directory.

Re: [Xastir] A good time for APRS at 9600?

Guy,

I think Bob's(?) comment earlier had more to do with some of the newer 
rigs that included 9K6. But, they weren't good, quality setups and 
included excessively long TXDELAY, as compared to most 9K6 setups. I 
don't remember all the details, as you say - it's been awhile. But there 
was a comment made about the expense of dedicated, 9K6 data radios with 
acceptable performance being a hurdle not widely over-come.

I do need to quantify something.  APRS traffic that has any real length to it,

Re: [Xastir] Serial tnc and Prolific USB adaptor

[KA7O]

David,

I use a Prolific USB to serial adapter with my KPC3+ and it works very 
well in Xastir for me. I run Xastir on Fedora and CentOS.


Couple things to watch:

1 - bring up a terminal shell
2 - put the USB adapter in a USB port
3 - as root, type: dmesg enter
4 - near the end of all the lines of info, you should see several lines 
that describe how the adapter was detected and how it was setup. One of 
those lines will tell you what it's 'serial' port is.


For me - it's often /dev/ttyUSB0 - but on occasion, it'll show as 
/dev/ttyUSB1


You can also use minicom -s enter to configure the serial port, remove 
all the modem crap and then 'exit' to minicom and access the serial 
device directly. Just another way to verify where it actually is.


I put whatever the current address is in my interface config for serial 
TNC in Xastir and away it goes!


HINT: as a matter of course, do not reboot Linux! There is usually NO 
NEED to do this, short of a kernel upgrade.


I also use a GPS receiver with a built in USB to serial adapter, 
depending on what is plugged in when or what's plugged in when I power 
the thing up, my GPS receiver and TNC port can all appear on a variety 
of ports. I've seen them go as high as dev/ttyUSB4 once.


G'luck!

You answered your own question - it's using ttyUSB0, not ttyS0.

ttySn is for hardware serial ports. ttyUSBSn is for USB/rs232 adapter
serial ports.


Hi Jason and all

when i go into the TNC config menu and put in /dev/ttyUSB0
it wont work...
when i restart the computer and start Xastir and check the Interface

it shows .. Device 1 Serial TNC /T;0 or some other garbage

[Xastir] USB to RS-232 issue

[ka7o]

This was working great. (Fedora 14 current update - Xastir from CVS today)

PL-1203 USB to RS-232 to a KPC3+ (serial, no KISS), but I was using a 
'keyspan' adapter. Switched to a 'no-name' PL-1203 adapter and now I can 
no longer 'open' the TNC under interfaces. However, I can access the TNC 
with this no name adapter using minicom just fine.


Is it as obvious as the adapter being a POS or am I missing something else.

Have changed permissions on /dev/ttyUSB0, set the sticky bit on xastir, 
deleted the interface and created new, even started Xastir as root - no 
joy. Any ideas on what else I can try other than getting my keyspan back?

Re: [Xastir] USB to RS-232 issue

[ka7o]

Yup, PL2303 is correct. However, it seems it might not be a 'bug' per 
se. Seems it's becoming a larger problem. See below. FWIW, the 
'workaround' didn't work for me here.


I'll test here by going back a few revs in kernel - see what happens.

2011-04-25: #12

I was hit with this problem using my GPS tracking application on a 
2.6.38 Kernel. After much researching it seems this is NOT a driver bug 
but a CHANGE in the kernel Serial API semantics.


What has happened is that the API now blocks when a Serial device is not 
indicating it is ready. This included 'open' on a serial device which 
now can block.


Since lots of RS232 serial devices do not bother with any control 
signals such as DCD (data carrier detect) they never indicate they are 
ready and open blocks. This is the 'HANG' we are seeing, There are 
several workarounds:


1. Wire the RS232 DCD signal correctly. This is often not an option. 
In my case I am reading from a GPS mouse which has a built in RS232 to 
USB convertor.


2. Open the serial device non-blocking and set the CLOCAL flag on the 
device. From the tty_ioctl documentation:


Marking a line as local

If the CLOCAL flag for a line is off, the hardware carrier detect (DCD) 
signal is significant, and an open(2) of the corresponding tty will 
block until DCD is asserted, unless the O_NONBLOCK flag is given. If 
CLOCAL is set, the line behaves as if DCD is always asserted. The 
software carrier flag is usually turned on for local devices, and is off 
for lines with modems.


In my code I open and explicitly set CLOCAL

qDebug ( devPath );
file = open(devPath.ascii(), O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK);
if ( file != -1 ) {
// serial port needs to be setup
struct termios term;
bool ok = tcgetattr ( file, term ) == 0;
cfmakeraw ( term );
term.c_iflag |= CLOCAL;
cfsetispeed( term, B4800 );
ok = tcsetattr ( file, TCSAFLUSH, term ) == 0;
  

Sadly after you 'open' a device non-blocking you cannot change it back 
to blocking. The simplist solution is to use a 'poll' before you 'read' 
to wait for new data to arrive.


// read byte from non blocking file
pollfd pfd;
pfd.fd = file;
pfd.events = POLLIN;
int ok = poll( pfd, 1, -1 );
if ( ok  0 ) {
 // poll failed
}
char buf[1];
ssize_t ch = read( file, buf, 1 );
if ( ch  1 ) {
 // read error

3. A third alternative, which I have not tried, is to use stty to set 
the serial device CLOCAL before your application starts.


Hopefully this help clear up the issue. I would recommend setting this 
bugs status to INVALID. Possibly the perceived regression on the USB 
serial drivers could be resolved in that they default to being CLOCAL 
which is what I assume was the case before. But another change to the 
Kernal semantics would probably just confuse the issue!

Yup, it's a kernel module. But it appears the problem isn't really in

But, It's beyond my abilities to verify one way or the other. All I know 
is minicom and gpsd both work great - xastir don't.

[Xastir] OS network issue or?

[KA7O]

Scenario:
I've a mobile instance of Xastir up and running (CVS from this morning) 
on Fedora 13. I've got the regional radar working via I-net. The Tornado 
Warning icons and boxes from APRS-IS that're being gated by my home 
station are showing up via RF. I'm not connecting to an APRS-IS server.


Problem:
As I was driving around today - observing weather stuff - trying to 
borrow open WiFi connections to get updated radar images, I noticed 
that as soon as I left the WAP I was connected to when Xastir started, 
and the laptop connected to another WAP, I could no longer get images. 
Other I-net things on the laptop worked with the 2nd WAP just fine (web 
browser, ssh, updates etc). This was repeatable and occurred with 
several WAPs around town.


Supposition and question:
It appears that Xastir is caching something unique to do with 
networking that doesn't apply after a move to a different WAP. Is that 
true or do I have something else going on? Any thing I can do to get 
around it, other than restarting Xastir at each re-connect?


Yes, I know - getting my own mobile I-net connection would be the best 
fix - but that's not in the cards for now.

Now, a question could be - is OSM going to be around and reliable long 
enough to be worth the investment in time and effort? That's outside my 
paygrade to make that call. But, the prognosis is good from my limited 
perspective.

Re: [Xastir] latest from CVS is V 1.9.5 or 1.9.6 or 1.9.7 or 1.9.?

[KA7O]

I seem to remember a ways back Curt or someone saying that the version 
information that's compiled into Xastir is changed when the bootstrap.sh 
script is run. You'll see the updated version in the ./configure output, 
but only after bootstrap.sh is completed


Of course - if you're using pre-compiled binaries

Re: [Xastir] CVS install on Fedora12 - R click errors

[ka7o]

In rummaging through my junk pil...uh, garage - I found an older Fedora 9
box. I've upgraded it to F10, then to F11 and yesterday finished upgrading
it to F12.

Then I followed the Wiki howto and installed Xastir from CVS.

Everything is working fine - R click menus and all.

I'm on my way to the house for lunch, I'll bring back my laptop that had
the R-click menu issue - update it to current and reinstall Xastir. Who
knows - maybe Fedora released an update that has fixed this all for us.
I'll let you all know in a few hours what I find.

 I had NumLock turned on and pressed right click. Instantly I got

 Turning off numlock and closing the Modifiers popup, the actual popup
 works correctly now.
 Unfortunately closing xastir and starting it again (without numlock on)
 won't work the old issue remains.

 Any thoughts ?

Re: [Xastir] CVS install on Fedora12 - R click errors

[ka7o]

OK, I'm stumped.

Desktop - a Dell of some flavor. Fully updated Fedora 12 via yum. Clean
Xastir install from CVS - R click menus work fine. No problems at all.

Laptop - HP of another flavor. Fully updated Fedora 12 via yum. Clean
Xastir install from CVS (I even deleted th ~/.xastir directory and started
fresh. STILL has the R-click problem. No menus show up. Arrow changes
direction - can not regain focus or use the mouse cursor outside the
Xastir box. I even went back and updated all the 'tar ball' stuff as
described in the Installation Notes/HowTo: for Fedora.
http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:Fedora

But, now I have two - nearly identical boxes - one with the problem, one
without. Something's gotta be different here. Anyone wanna guide me
through discovery?

AIM (kc7zru) or YahooChat (ntstate)

I know there's been a 'favored' tool in the past due to API issues and

What's the current preferred image tool - ImageMagick, GraphicsMagic or
do either now work as well as the other?

Yup - I'm getting more reports of this from some of the local Xastir

 I would lean towards GM unless it doesn't work for you.  Doesn't
 work for you has probably been changed by the last fix Tom did in
 CVS.

Re: [Xastir] LaCrosse database program --- open2300db2APRS

[Tate - KA7O]

YES!

My Lacross station has been offlined for several months now. I would 
love to get it back up again.


Thanks!

Is anyone here besides me actually using a (lousy) LaCrosse 23xx weather
station and the open2300db2APRS program we have bundled in the Xastir source?

I just upgraded the OS on my primary system and discovered that
open2300db2APRS started segfaulting afterwards.  Turns out there's a huge
error in how that code accesses the mysql database, and I'm amazed it ever
worked at all --- but it did for me for several years until tonight's upgrade.
Specifically, the code never actually issued the mysql_fetch_row command after
querying the database for weather data --- and then started pulling data out
of the row datastructure, and apparently got what it was expecting.  This
definitely doesn't work in the version of os that I updated to (MySQL 5.1.41
on FreeBSD 7.2, previously running MySQL 5.1.41 on FreeBSD 6.4 --- all I did
was recompile mysql on the new system, and boom, segfaults from
open2300db2APRS).

I'm pretty sure that the changes I had to make to my local copy of
open2300db2APRS to get it to work after the upgrade would be correct even for
older versions of mysql, and that it's likely it only worked because of a
fluke.  My change is merely to fetch the row after the query.

If anyone else is actually using this code now, lemme know.  I'll commit my
changes and work with you to make sure they don't break your currently working
build.  I can't imagine it will, but I figure a head's up is in order first.

I can't. 4 different machines. Clean installs and upgrades from 11. A R
click on a map yields the changed cursor, but no pop up menu and no way
to get the focus of the cursor outside of the Xastir map.

troubling.

Re: [Xastir] Time

Mmmm, I think most of us have either a GNOME or KDE toolbar across 
either the top or bottom of each desktop that has a clock in it - 
amongst many other things. Are you running a 'down sized' distro? What 
desktop manager do you use?

Re: [Xastir] Newbie APRS help

[KA7O]

Hi Mike,

I run a similar setup here in Wyoming. But I use aprsd for the 
server/igate duties and then just have xastir connect to my own local 
server. Digipeater duties are handled by the KPC3+ TNC aprsd uses.


Now that both aprsd and xastir are incuded in the Fedora repositories - 
it's almost trivial to setup. So long as you've a TNC that'll digipeat 
that is!


Good luck and enjoy!

Hi Folks,

I'm a newbie to APRS and want to set up a Digi and iGate but still have the
machine in runlevel three.  Then when I want Xastir I can start X.

I think I need Digi_ned, could someone provide me a sanity check thats
digi_ned will do the necessary and that Xastir will work as a client to
that?  Sorry if this is a silly question.


Many Thanks,
