ASL to DMR Bridge Installation Prob.
|
steve@...
Followed these instructions to the letter: https://4x5mg.net/2018/07/16/allstar-to-dmr-bridge/
Get to the part where I install dvswitch & come up with this error:
Setting up mmdvm-bridge (1.5-20200427-24) ...
Error, APRS_Hosts.txt file does not seem to be valid
dpkg: error processing package mmdvm-bridge (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 251
Errors were encountered while processing:
The contents of APRS_HOSTS.txt are as follows:

asia.aprs2.net:14580;Universal connection for servers in Asia^M
anuz.aprs2.net:14580;Universal connection for servers in Oceania^M
I’ve started fresh from the ground up & always dead-end with this error. Any ideas?
Much thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

I don't mean to hijack the thread, though this is somewhat related. I know there were problems with ASL on Buster with sound in the past. Was this ever addressed, or is Buster only good as an ASL hub with no connected hardware? I want to build a radio-less node incorporating ASL and DVSwitch
Server. Is it still recommended to use the old ASL Stretch image
and install DVSwitch Server on top of that, or should Buster be
used now?

Sorry, I should clarify... I want to build a radio-less node in the sense that there is a fob with a microphone and output connected, which incorporates DVSwitch Server.

Patrick,

The install of AllStar from the DVSwitch repository does not support Open Sound System (OSS) which The channel drivers for the USB sound fob requires. We decided that we would not require a custom kernel or older version of Raspbian. Work is being done on updated channel drivers that do not require OSS. AllStarLink has a RPi image built on Buster with a custom kernel. I have not tested it yet, but I expect it works fine. I don't know what they are doing for i386, AMD64 or ARM64 installs. Steve N4IRS

I remember some discussion about sound being very choppy on the ASL Buster images a few months ago. No idea what the status of that is now. I'll try it and see what happens.
