Epic. My board is in my country, so I should have it in a couple days. My whole goal with the uConsole was for the SDR, so this is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. I suppose I’ll grab another SD card and start with a fresh bookworm.

Not epic: using CM4. :frowning:

you can reuse it as server and buy cm5 instead!

I’ve just uploaded a new package to try. Just update and upgrade.

Hi Rex,
Thank you for your huge work on this project. I am trying to install you package for HackerGadgets AIO,but without success, same error as others had. I did short “debug”, and I think problem is in deb file “postinst” in line:

cp “/tmp/config.yaml” “/etc/meshtasticd/config.yaml”

In my case, during install, there is no “/tmp/config.yaml” file, it does not exist, so it generates an error, and rest of postinst is not executed. After I manually did steps after “cp” command (all sed commands on config.txt and config.yaml), installation of package goes with success. Hope it helps a little

Chris

if you apt update and install it again it should work now. I fixed that error with the config.yaml

I have v1.26 of deb package, and all my findings are based on this version.
I cannot see newer one at this moment. so I will look for it in the morning, and now it is time to sleep, it is 2:10 AM here :slight_smile:

Thanks for testing and the newest one is v1.27

success! Thank you so much! What was the underlying issue out of curiosity?

Not sure I couldn’t get it to not read the files in /tmp so I removed them and just download the files from my repo as needed. If I had to guess something cleaned out /tmp between unpacking the package and installing it.

I can confirm, it is working for me too. Thank you very much!

Edit: issue sorted after fresh install of the bookworm image, likely a quirk from a something I had installed.

Package worked a charm, thanks Rex.

Did you make any changes to the config.txt? Can you ssh into the machine?

All sorted Rex, thanks.

@Rex this is cool and pretty impressive, but it would be even cooler if the package had the native qt5 version of Meshtastic UI working. The Meshtastic maintainers primarily use their windowed QT UI version for development, but it could work well in this use-case.

I only mention because I largely hate web-apps. :sweat_smile:

I wasn’t aware of such a thing! I’ll look into it, thanks for the info!

Hey guys, I got everything running but Meshtastic doesn’t work…

Can someone help?

CM5 or 4?
Did you reboot after install?
Try reinstalling the package.

Just got the u console, have a Cm5 I did reboot, flashed your actual bookworm firmware…sdr and the rest is working, only Meshtastic not

Looks like the Webserver isn’t running
