4.3.0 Beta feedback

[KA1PIT]

updating Pi-Star_RPi_V4.3.0_10-Feb-2024 in SSH using sudo pistar-update broke 4.3.0 sometime in the last three weeks.

if I don't hard reboot it, it seems to work.

I'm guessing something to do with wifi. Maybe when configuring wifi the setting that comes up is JP by default. When I change it to US, then search for my router and selected it, it pops back to JP. I re-select US and enter wifi password and save. If I do a SOFT REBOOT it works. I'm guessing soft reboot keeps the DHCP address it was given, hard reboot has to ask DHCP again for
a address.

The RF and Net hang time values for the P25, NXDN, and M17 modes that are entered on the Configuration dashboard in the MMDVMHost Configuration section are not being propagated to the appropriate fields in their respective gateway init files. Instead, those values are consistently being (re)set to zero on any configuration update processing regardless of what's specified in the dashboard.

The following code in configure.php:

Code: Select all

     :
// Set P25 Hang Timers
if (empty($_POST['p25RfHangTime']) != TRUE ) {
  $configmmdvm['P25']['ModeHang'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['p25RfHangTime']);
  $configp25gateway['Network']['RFHangTime'] = "0";
}
if (empty($_POST['p25NetHangTime']) != TRUE ) {
  $configmmdvm['P25 Network']['ModeHang'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['p25NetHangTime']);
  $configp25gateway['Network']['NetHangTime'] = "0";
}
// Set NXDN Hang Timers
if (empty($_POST['nxdnRfHangTime']) != TRUE ) {
  $configmmdvm['NXDN']['ModeHang'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['nxdnRfHangTime']);
  $confignxdngateway['Network']['RFHangTime'] = "0";
}
if (empty($_POST['nxdnNetHangTime']) != TRUE ) {
  $configmmdvm['NXDN Network']['ModeHang'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['nxdnNetHangTime']);
  $confignxdngateway['Network']['NetHangTime'] = "0";
}

// Set M17 Hang Timers
if (empty($_POST['m17RfHangTime']) != TRUE ) {
  $configmmdvm['M17']['ModeHang'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['m17RfHangTime']);
  $configm17gateway['Network']['RFHangTime'] = "0";
}
if (empty($_POST['m17NetHangTime']) != TRUE ) {
  $configmmdvm['M17 Network']['ModeHang'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['m17NetHangTime']);
  $configm17gateway['Network']['NetHangTime'] = "0";
}
     :

should be recoded as:

Code: Select all

     :
// Set P25 Hang Timers
if (empty($_POST['p25RfHangTime']) != TRUE ) {
  $configmmdvm['P25']['ModeHang'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['p25RfHangTime']);
  $configp25gateway['Network']['RFHangTime'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['p25RfHangTime']);
}
if (empty($_POST['p25NetHangTime']) != TRUE ) {
  $configmmdvm['P25 Network']['ModeHang'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['p25NetHangTime']);
  $configp25gateway['Network']['NetHangTime'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['p25NetHangTime']);
}
// Set NXDN Hang Timers
if (empty($_POST['nxdnRfHangTime']) != TRUE ) {
  $configmmdvm['NXDN']['ModeHang'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['nxdnRfHangTime']);
  $confignxdngateway['Network']['RFHangTime'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['nxdnRfHangTime']);
}
if (empty($_POST['nxdnNetHangTime']) != TRUE ) {
  $configmmdvm['NXDN Network']['ModeHang'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['nxdnNetHangTime']);
  $confignxdngateway['Network']['NetHangTime'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['nxdnNetHangTime']);
}

// Set M17 Hang Timers
if (empty($_POST['m17RfHangTime']) != TRUE ) {
  $configmmdvm['M17']['ModeHang'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['m17RfHangTime']);
  $configm17gateway['Network']['RFHangTime'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['m17RfHangTime']);
}
if (empty($_POST['m17NetHangTime']) != TRUE ) {
  $configmmdvm['M17 Network']['ModeHang'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['m17NetHangTime']);
  $configm17gateway['Network']['NetHangTime'] = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['m17NetHangTime']);
}
     :

The following patch can be applied to fix this:

I just can't get 4.3.0 to work; the DMR flags on the left remain in RED. I have it working in 4.1.8, 4.2.1.

Same here. I scrapped 4.3

I wonder if this has been fixed yet....or if they even care?

The messages coming out of the update/upgrade process are misleading as to the exact cause of the problem: not enough memory to build temp files? unpack files? not enough space allocated in TMP directory?

Playing around with this it a bit on the latest upgrade, I found that INCREASING the /tmp directory allocation to 100m (from its original 64m?) seems to have fixed the problem:

Will monitor this over that next bunch of system updates as they roll out to see if this tweak holds.

YMMV

----

Subsequent testing with some other systems: 72m seems to be insufficient, but 96m works!

I found the same, fixed in the next respin.. didn't see this until after I had pushed it up to 96M in size.

Erroneous Local RF entries may appear from time to time in the dashboard, entries that seemingly are not associated with any particular call sign but are of DMR origin.

Added, thank you.

About to lock this to avoid me loosing track of information, please move up to 4.3.1 - you can upgrade, but new image is preferred, not all the fixes are in the upgrade.
