My stupid suggestion: try installing an older version that doesn't need phonetz. It was new in 1.14, so 1.13.2 can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ncid/files/ncid/1.13/

Hi Chad, First you need to verify phonetz: $ ls -l /usr/bin/phonetz -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1357 Jun 6 10:52 /usr/bin/phonetz It phonetz does not have execute permission, make it executable.: chmod +x /usr/bin/phonetz If the ls fails or is not the correct size (1357), reinstall phonetz from the phonetz.tgz above attachment: tar -xavf phonetz.tgz sudo cp phonetz.py /usr/bin/phonetz chmod +x /usr/bin/phonetz sudo rm /us/bin/phonetz.py # in case it's there Did you try to install the client using apt?...

Hi The phonetz.tgz file still makes no difference to the build. (trying) to follow the official instructions which are very confusing I must say, I after 3 weeks found this page and thought it would help. But it doesn't The file in the zip does extract and the instructions do work but when i go to install the client it get the same old error Tried it with gdebi The following packages have unmet dependencies: ncid-client : Depends: python3-pytz but it is not installable Tried it with dpkg Unpacking...

Funny, I ran 'make ubuntu' previously, but I hadn't seen "make os-ubuntu" which solved it. Thank you
-
Your best option would be to download the source code from https://sourceforge.net/projects/ncid/ and compile it in your environment. Step-by-step instructions for the compile are in the User Manual from https://ncid.sourceforge.io/doc/doc.html or if you prefer html, in this section https://ncid.sourceforge.io/doc/NCID-UserManual.html#instl_deb_comp

I sometimes get what I think you call ghost calls. What they are, in my case, are hangup calls where ncidd hungup but the caller side did not hangup, and rings again (actually continuing ringing) with no CID information.

The NCIDD times are normally correct. When I get these ghost calls the time stamps are incorrect
-
I've pulled out the code and tested it by itself. While different from the other places where this is done, it is formatting the time correctly. The time that comes out is timezone shifted from UTC, and will be the same as if ncidd used the 'date' command. Try comparing the results from 'date' and 'date -u'. You can throw your own empty test calls into ncidd to check the time by connecting with netcat. e.g. I typed this ~~~ netcat localhost 3333 CALL: ###NMBR6137778888...NAMEtime test+++ GOODBYE...
-
Are the times in ncidd.log also incorrect, or would it just be wrong for that one call record? (The code that formats the CID line for the missing caller ID is a bit different fro the other time formatting.)
-
Hi Chad, A new phonetz.py is available. The attached phonetz.tgz archive contains it. The python3 requirements reduce to python3-phonenumbers, python3-dialog Replace ncid/tools/phonetz.py, build the executable and install it: $ cd <path>/ncid/tools $ tar -xavf <path>/phonetz.tgz $ make clobber phonetz $ sudo cp phonetz /usr/bin/.
-
I checked and my NCIDD system clock is correct, that's why I am confused as to the different call log time reported. I am UTC -4 but the time is off by some unexpected value. Is there a bash command line way to see gettimeofday() for me to check?
-
When the option gencid=1, which it appears to be here, a CID record will be produced on the second RING, since caller ID is expected to come before the second RING on a POTS call. The timestamp in the record comes from the system clock when ncidd calls gettimeofday(). The same code is used for the timestamps that appear in the ncidd.log file.

In case someone is experiencing a similar issue here's a possible reference to "sip scanner ghost calls" https://wiki.voip.ms/article/Sip_Scanner_Ghost_Calls

I've been getting some single ring No Caller ID nuisance calls lately. I am using VOIP with a Grandstream VOIP to POTS device. ciddata.log just shows RING RING in the log, and NCID records my 4:00am caller as 0104 as the time? cidcall.log shows CID: *DATE*06062024*TIME*0104*LINE*POTS*NMBR*RING*MESG*NONE*FNMBR*RING*NTYPE*-*CTRY*ZZ*LOCA*-*CARI*-*NAME*No Caller ID* Where does NCIDD get the time stamp from?

Since I'm still using an old RPI2 for this (which is more than capable) the "compile/install from source" option was used following the instructions from the manual under section "DEB Package Install for Debian, raspios and Ubuntu". I just wanted to mention a couple things found from doing this: - for the Python3 packages the ones listed are python3-pytz python3-phonenumbers python3-dialog but the "python3-pytz" package could not be found, I believe this list should be python3-pytz-deprecation-shim...

Hi Chad, Only the 64-bit version of raspios is provided. The 32-bit version needs to be compiled. Surprised you found my script used to build the release. Thanks for the info on changes needed. The python3-pytz was correct until it was depreciated and recently removed. It is still installed so the app install package was built correctly. We need to review and fix the use that pytz provided for ncid. If interested, review pytz_deprecation_shim: Shims to help you safely remove pytz It explains why...

Hi, there does not seem to be a current 32 bit version available, i.e. ncid_1.16-1_raspios_bookworm_armhf.deb like there was for v1.15 ncid_1.15-1_raspios_bullseye_armhf.deb Is that something new for the current version, or am I just missing it? Thanks, Chad.
-
This is a good suggestion, but requires a major change of how server blacklist/whitelist code interfaces with the ncid client. It may be implemented in a future release.

AJ Weber posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion
Ah, sorry. I copied over my old ncidd.conf and tweaked it for the updated version...maybe I saw that when I was comparing the new default file and forgot.
-
Yes, regex=0 is the default. It's not mentioned in the User Manual, but it is in the comments in the ncidd.conf file.
-
So is regex = 0 the default? I don't think it says that in the manual. Thanks again.
-
Yes, the quotes will work to allow you to put spaces in the expression text.
-
Yes, no idea why mine has red text either. But that doesn't really answer whether double-quoted strings (to enclose spaces within a CID Name) will still work when enabling regex = 0,1,2 ?
-
I have no idea why my reply has some words coloured green.
-
The documentation in the code says * store a black or white list expression for strmatch regex=0 * supports ^1?*expression*$ * the resulting abwstr struct stores precomputed flags for the * special matching characters ^ 1? * and $ plus a pointer to * the remaining substring to be matched * black, white lists are implicitly *expression* so that ^419 will match any call from the 419 area code

I use a Moto SPA122 with dual POTS output to two modems on my ncidd (RPi) server. It's still handy with the extra filtering that I have complete control over. One change I made when I went to VoIP is that I now "ring" my SPA122 line first (configured for 7 seconds), and then "follow me"/failover to the regular VoIP phones. This give ncidd a chance to filter the call before any of my "real" phones even ring...providing even more peace and quiet. I just review the cidcall log every now and then for...
-
When enabling regex for list-parsing (really I'm just looking to use anchors at this time, but in general...), does ncidd still understand simple, quoted names in a blacklist? Like it allows both in the same list? For example: "NYC TELEMARKETER" ^999 ^2125551212$ Can all be in one blacklist? Thanks!
-
The INSTALL-DEB section in the website, and also in the source, list the libhidapi-devel package as required From the required section, libhidapi-dev is on the second line as indicated by "-->": The following packages are required: sudo apt install build-essential fakeroot --> sudo apt install libpcre2-dev libhidapi-dev sudo apt install libphonenumber-dev libicu-dev sudo apt install libpcap-dev zstd rename sudo apt install libconfig-simple-perl libdata-hexdump-perl You probably missed it, but thanks...

I don't see it there either, so apparently there isn't a package for arm7l. It's pretty easy to compile from the source code, instructions are here, the hardest part is in installing the dependencies. https://ncid.sourceforge.io/doc/NCID-UserManual.html#instl_deb_comp

I don't see a 32bit RPi package on SourceForge. Do you not build for that anymore (armv7l)?

We may have reached the point where there are too many features to document in a useful manual . The user manual describes it briefly here: https://ncid.sourceforge.io/doc/NCID-UserManual.html#addedmodems In practice, an entry at the bottom of the ncidd.conf file (with the first modem) points to another config file for the second modem. The installation will give you prototype ncidd.conf and modem2.conf files. The conf files contain hints; minimal information for the second modem is a lineid and...
-
That's awesome news! Now the tricky follow-up: Is configuration documented anywhere? I didn't notice it in the default docs pages when I looked today. My goal is to share my whitelist/blacklist config across the two modems/lines. (I also recall enhancing the blacklist/whitelist with some rudimentary regex/matching - I'm sure I offered the code back at the time. I'll ask about that in a different post. :) )
-
Multiple modem support went into version 1.13 which was released mid-2022. Version 1.16 is available now. Testing with two modems on the same phone line was fun.
-
I noticed that multi modems (two or more lines) was described by you as a "TODO" way back in 2004 (I think, I don't have the post up in front of me). Any of the recent versions of the server actually support this? I'm running on a RPi for years - and really appreciate all your work - and had two running for a while. Now I just want to move my modem from one of the Pi's to consolidate it to one "server". Any updates??? THX

It is quite possible that this API uses the same original data as ncid ... Another thing to consider is that by using this online API to validate incoming calls , One is actually sharing the list of incoming calls with the company (who ever that is , that is providing this online service ) . (Not great for privacy... ). On the other hand , the NCID tool is fully local , but only updated every release . (Althought manual updates are possible for "advanced" users ) .

Thank you for your responce! Is there a way to find open-source code on GitHub?

I do not know of anyone doing something similar with ncidd. I am not sure provider filtering is as good as ncidd filtering. It currently uses the fcc list, a fake number script, and a postal code list to detect <city> <state> calls that are mostly SPAM. I have not been following upgrades to provider filtering so it may be a lot better than I remember.</state></city>

There is a similar tool inside NCID which returns information about a phone number, though it may not be as up-to-date as the API call to this commercial service. The NTYPE field will be empty for an invalid number: + ncidnumberinfo 14158586273 *FNMBR*415-858-6273*NTYPE*FIX/CELL*CTRY*US*LOCA*California*CARI*NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC + ncidnumberinfo 14150586273 *FNMBR*415-058-6273*NTYPE*-*CTRY*ZZ*LOCA*-*CARI*- +

I've recently ported my POTS line to Voip and added a Grandstream HT812 so I can continue to use my exiting POTS phones. I still have my NCIDD listening to the "POTS" line but it's becoming redundant now that I can filter calls via my Voip provider. NCIDD is still handy because I can imessage incoming CID to my iphone to see who is calling the old land line. Is anyone else doing something similar with their NCIDD?
