Direwolf and Xastir load but won't populate or show the packets

    Hello,

    I put the iso on a flash drive with persistence. I run Direwolf with the -p option. However as Direwolf is loading it gets past the login with my password, but then just stops. Packets don't download. Same thing with Xastir.
    Xastir loads,the ports are open but map doesn't populate. When I bring up the message menu screen, nothing.
    It's just stopping.

    Some thing within the system is blocking some thing here and I'm lost.

    Can you help? 73's

    Sincerely,

      Hi Ernest,

      I have never heard of such an issue previously.

      Are you sure that your download had a correct MD5SUM?

      Did you use multiboot-usb to build the flash drive?

      I'm not aware that Direwolf requires a passsword, so I'm confused by that
      statement. Then again, I don't actively use Direwolf. Perhaps you can show me
      a screenshot?

      Lastly, which version of AHRL are you using?

      73,

      Andy

        Hello Andy,
        I'm using version24e.The password for Direwolf is my password that I got from the APRS people.It's in the direwolf.conf file.
        I used mkusb to flash the drive. I did set up the flash drive with persistence.So far it seems to be working.

        I'm not sure how to check the MD5SUM?
        If I have to all start over again,..I can do that.
        I went into the User Group and went to Advance and put a check mark next to every thing.I also ran the script file that you talk about in the discussion group.Ex: sudo  /root/bin/fix_account. I did log out, then log back in.I kept the original login and password.

        Is the anything else I should be doing?
        Sincerely,
        Ernest Bazzinotti, KC1LKB

          Hi Ernest,

          That all seems reasonable to me. Most probably the download is OK but it is
          always good to double check. I've seen bizarre errors occur from a corrupted
          download.

          I'm trying to isolate the issue to see if it is Direwolf related or something
          systemic.

          If it is Direwolf specific, may I recommend that you look here for more info:
          direwolf@groups.io

          Please keep us posted on your progress, and 73,

          Andy
