I am a newbie to RPi and linux. I have the beta6 installed and running. I cannot seem to be able to stop direwolf and ax25 so that ft8 and js8call will get access to the draws sound card. I entered
cd cd bin sudo su ./ax25-stop
The pi returns the command prompt but not anything like "ax25 has stopped". I see the correct sound card input and output codec in the settings for these programs (ft8 and js8call) but no audio from the ft817 radio. I had this working before. What am I missing?

Merry Christmas, Basil. I dont expect to hear back from you for a few days. I am trying to get wsjtx and js8call running. I did have this working so I know the 817 radio is ok. I could not use the supplied cables but I have an alternate cable that worked. However, now, with a new image burned, I cannot get the audio part to work. I do see the correct codec in settings for wsjtx and js8call but not audio appears. I As you suggested, I tried stating direwolf with ./ax25-start but I get this message A dependance job for ax25-mheardd.. service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details. I did run journalctl -xe and got a full page report. I can screen capture it but I have no idea how to send it to you. In red it says "Failed to start AX25 device"
So there must be something wrong with my new image but I have tried several times. I did notice that the one time it did work, on first bootup ,I was asked a few questions before it went to the standard desktop. I have never been asked since for anything, no passwords, no timezone, etc, for any new image I have tried, either bata5 or beta5. It just goes directly to the standard desktop upon bootup. Even first time. To burn the image i download zipped file from your download page. Then unzip with windows 10 then burn to the sd card with Etcher. I usually just burn onto the same sd card that had the previous burn. Am I doing this correctly? Does it matter that the sd card was not empty when I burn onto it? I will try another burn with a new download.
Btw my return on journalctl -xe also said Error setting device : ax0 parks
Same for ax1

Bob,
That is a mistake I often make when I forget and reflexively try to use DOS/Windows conventions in LINUX. It is confusing.
You want to be in “~/bin”, not “/bin”. note the “~”!
In the DOS/Windows world that would be the same as saying “cd \home\pi\bin”.
This is the bin folder in your user account “home” directory. You will find show

Can’t speak for this implementation as I am waiting for the next DRAW run to be shipped. However my experience with other rpi implementations, my SD card contained a single image. I make sure by reformatting with SD formatter then burn image with etcher. You could try this approach.

interface udr0 and udr1 are removed freeing access to draws sound

This will leave the AX.25 stack in a weird state, please use Basil's scripts to start and stop AX.25 and it will start/stop direwolf.
If you start direwolf without AX.25, then it can be stopped without AX.25

John and Basil, Good point on the appropriate scripts (not just killing direwolf)! I will be loading Beta 6 later today… Suggestion: Is there any way these script functions can be put into/called by a “DRAWS/udrc control panel” app? As it was in Beta 5, having Basil’s scripts scattered between ~/bin, ~/n7nix/bin, and ~/n7nix/debug made doing the set up and testing a bit of a challenge. Jumping around the different pieces of the directory tree made for some interesting “not found” errors. Good work guys! We really appreciate what you are doing. Jack – KD4IZ

Hi Jack, As it was in Beta 5, having Basil’s scripts scattered between ~/bin, ~/n7nix/bin, and ~/n7nix/debug made doing the set up and testing a bit of a challenge. Jumping around the different pieces of the directory tree made for some interesting “not found” errors. In the beta6 image after you have run the app_config.sh core script most of the commonly used scripts are copied to the local bin, ~/bin and that will be in your PATH if you are logged in as user pi. So you only need to type the name of the script. If you are required to be root then just: cd /home/pi/bin ./<name_of_the_script> /Basil Good work guys! We really appreciate what you are doing.

Thanks for the killall direwolf suggestion but I seem to have deeper issues. The response to that command was "direwolf: no process found" I have downloaded the Draws beta6 image about 3 or 4 times on different sd cards and direwolf does not seem to run, among other things. I do get the usual desktop for rspbian stretch. Everything looks great. Ft8 and jso call will not work. I have had them working before and I have made no other changes to the setup except a new image burned onto ghe sd card. I am at a loss. Must be the way I am burning it to the sd card. I am using etcher on windows 10. Bob ve3obo

I hate to admit this but I don't know what is meant by "run Basil's scripts" Was I supposed to do something after the first boot up of beta6 ? Everything looks normal after the boot up. Exceot ft8 and js8call do not get access to the soundcard and I cannot seem to stop or start direwolf. Bob ve3obo

Read this: https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/n7nix/blob/master/DRAWS_CONFIG.mdThe step where you run app_config.sh core setups up your image & starts direwolf from systemd. If you read to the bottom of the document you will learn the proper way to stop & disable direwolf and the ax.25 stack. Using killall leaves the ax.25 stack compromised and will give unpredictable results later on. /Basil Bob Orrett <boborrett@gmail.com> writes:

as an fyi you don't NEED ax25 to run direwolf, I never installed the AX.25 stack on any of my ham computers and I can still run direwolf and xastir perfectly fine
|
|
That is correct.
Direwolf can run independently of the AX.25 stack. And programs that can talk directly using agwpe or kiss over the network work just fine (e.g. YAAC, Xastir). Basil has done a lot of work to have a stable, reproducible AX.25 stack available for a variety of programs that need it, including an RMS, BBS, and various other applications (commonly used in EMCOMM). While running the AX.25 application stack, these (mostly APRS) applications can also run through the same direwolf instance, using the same radios, over agwpe or networked KISS.
Direwolf by itself is also a capable digipeater and igate, though we tend to use it more often as a modem and let other programs handle the higher level protocols.
