ok, something must be corrupted with the crontab file as none of the cron jobs from /etc/crontab are running. In that time internal should at least see cron.hourly running in the logs. In your log snippet the only cron job that is firing off is the php job which is under /etc/cron.d/php but everythi...

There any errors in the log files? fgrep CRON /var/log/syslog In theory should see an entry with a timestamp around the time you have for the scheduled execution of the job. That would narrow down whether it's an issue with job not running as scheduled or an issue that its trying to execute on time ...

I realize OP has reverted back so doesn't have an issue. But posting here just in case someone has same issue: If machine gets to far out of sync ntpd won't automatically resync as it can cause logging issues etc. So usually need to set date to something close and ntpd will then get it back on track...

I have a small issue that is a bit perplexing. I can run the pistar application, connect to the internet, use my radio and make contacts. But for some unknown reason I can not log on the admin or configuration tab. I enter the log on as pi-star and enter the password raspberry only the receive a me...

I agree that using software based entropy generation isn't the "best possible solution" but I am also supporting more than just Raspberry Pi foundation hardware, and some of that does not have onboard RNG support. There is no real harm with shipping rng-tools on a image and having that im...

So if this does turn out to be entropy starvation for the wpa supplicant. It would makes sense. I couldn't figure out why pistar image would sometimes not work on a A+ on boot but a fresh stock rasbian buster image would work every time. rng-tools and the hardware RNG are enabled by default in the s...

OK at the moment I believe that the issue with the WiFi may have beeb improved with some changes to Raspbian, but the majority of the problem was that the initial random entropy was not available and *everything* that depends on randomness could have been impacted *now fixed in RC7*. There is a rea...

Potential problem with files on pistar.uk that pistar is downloading each night as part of nightly update.

Seems to be getting worse. System just pulled down http://www.pistar.uk/downloads/DMRIds.dat as part of its nightly job.

The newer version even has less id's in it.

File size: 2061292

All DMR ID's higher than 2143092 are missing in that version of the file pulled from pistar.uk.

Something is broken on the pi-star distribution server. If I am correct I have a feeling after the self fix things will be broken tomorrow. At least in the RC6 version of the code cron.daily runs a pistar update every night that downloads DMRids.dat from: http://www.pistar.uk/downloads/DMRIds.dat No...
