OP25 Major New OP25 Release - Seeking Beta Testers

[W4KRR]

Could you post the more of the error message? Does it say anything about python-waitress

The error is after I have run git.clone https://git.osmocom.org/op25, and then I switch to op25 and run ./install.sh.
It is at the end of the install that I see the error messages:

This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

CMake Error at op25/gr-op25/CMakeLists.txt:99 (message):
GnuRadio Runtime required to compile op25

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/ken/op25/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
See also "/home/ken/op25/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.

If I ignore these errors and just try to run the program in Terminal anyway, it just goes back to the command line without doing anything.

Running that command, I get version 3.7.11-10
Do I need some other version? If so, how do I get it?

That version, 3.7.x - should be fine.

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

It looks as if some part of the package installation failed. Are there any error messages preceding this error?

I will have to try the installation again in order to see all of the error messages.

OK yes, it'll be necessary to see all the output from the install script.

One way to do that is to run

script

immediately before the command, and

exit

immediately after.

This will log all output to a file (in addition to the screen as usual).

The file is called "typescript". If you could, please post that entire file.

Okay, now I have re run the installation, and this time I got no error messages, and lo and behold, it's working!

A large part of the problem is that I am not fluent in Linux; anyone who is would likely to have been able to resolve this in minutes, rather than hours.

Thanks Max, and others who have offered tips.

Regarding custom colors:
The read me July 2021 help file, on line 179, mentions custom colors values specified as decimal numbers 1-99. How do I know what color goes with what number? I have never seen colors specified by numbers 1 through 99.

 

[W4KRR]

Duplicate, sorry.

Thanks; got it.

Just as an FYI. I just burned a fresh RaspberryPi OS Buster image to my SDcard. I thought I would be thorough by just setting everything up in PuTTY. Big mistake. After configuring the OS (Raspi-Config) and doing the requisite sudo apt update/upgrade I thought I had everything setup for the OP25 beta install. After getting it all installed I ran it and it came up beautifully. Only there was no audio coming out of the AV jack. I checked the audio control in the system panel and it said there were no audio devices. After spending a night and a day of troubleshooting it I finally decided to start all over. Burned the image to the card and this time I only setup the interfaces menu item in config to enable the VNC server. Then rebooted and now I have my AV jack control back in the audio volume control icon. I don't know what wiped out the audio. I got it back. Now, to go on with the OP25 beta install and see how it works out. Hopefully this is the end of the story.

Turns out everything is working. I tested this in a VBox VM and it kinda worked. The audio was glitchy and didn't sound as good as Boatbod's OP25. Running natively on a RPi 3b+ and it is perfect.

Virtual performance is very dependent on what else is running on the same hardware as well as how much resource you dedicated to the VM.

 

[n5pwp]

Yeah, I kinda knew that. I joined the OP25 party back when everyone was trying to get it to work on a VM under Windows. Lotsa people had trouble with it. I just wanted to see if the beta was viable. I remember all the discussion that went into the VM environment and problems with slow USB emulation plus all of what you're talking about. Just wanted to see if the Osmocom crew and come up with some magic. But you just can't fool Mother Nature or physics. ;-) But it seems to work a charm on a RPi 3b+.

Now what I'd like to see if there is a way to either move the panels around on the web interface or at least close some so I can try to setup the interface the way I'd like to work with it. I used to run a DSD+ instance and FMP24 to get all the traffic on the CC. Now you can get it on the beta interface. It really does point out how the single dongle setup has limitations. when you leave the CC to play a voice channel the entire time it is playing the VC you don't receive the traffic on the CC. The DSD+ setup let me monitor it while your implementation played the VC. But its STILL amazing we can do all this with a cheapy dongle. Thanks to you and Max and the Osmocom crew that make this stuff available to the rest of us.

Click on Help, and you'll see some keyboard shortcuts that show/hide things. It's not perfect, but customizable in various combinations tabs (Home and RX) and elements. The little triangle ▼ next to each element will expand, collapse, and restore that table. You can show/hide the band plan, adjacent sites, plots. You can use the Minify mode and show/hide things from that. Just have to play with it a little... it's somewhat clumsy, but that's where it's at right now.

Thank you, Outerdog. That is operator error. I didn't even see the Help menu. It took a little playing with it but I did get it set up the way I wanted it. Thanks to the OP25 beta I have now freed up a dongle for another project. I've read over the README files and I need to do some digestion over getting the color tags setup the way I want it. Good job.

Sadly, the show/hide selections are not persistent, thought I'd mention that. Everything under the Config tab, however, is persistent (if you save it).

The README does not make mention that provided a tsv file has been at least defined for the system in question, the color tags and talkgroups can be edited in the Web UI itself...

The very, very first sentence of the "Installation" section in the README-July-2021 file:
Please read the instructions

So I had boatbod's version installed and running but I want to try this one. I go to CD into the first OP25 directory and type in "sudo make uninstall" as that was the directory where I did the install and I get "make: *** No rule to make target 'uninstall'. Stop." Am I in the wrong directory?

cd ~/op25/build

[n8zuz]

Thank you boatbod. I'll give that a try when I get home tonight. I appreciate all the help.

In the first picture in post #256, what command argument is used to display the graph that is to the left of the constellation? I can see the constellation with the "-P constellation" argument, but I want to see the other graph.
