The problem was in the whitelist file. I've deleted the second line and now both ncidd and ncid-notify both load correctly and I get notifications with prowl, NCIDpop and NCID for Android. All is now working correctly with the amended ncid (NCID) 1.11-sandya

Applied and now ncid -V results in ncid (NCID) 1.11-sandya ncid-notify now loads correctly BUT ncidd fails to load, sudo systemctl start ncidd results in: Job for ncidd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status ncidd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. sudo systemctl status ncidd results in ● ncidd.service - Network Caller ID server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ncidd.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code)...

I've followed the instructions and I have ncid-client-1.11-sandy.tar in my /home/pi directory. Running: sudo tar xf ncid-client-1.11-sandy.tar -C / Unpacks a copy of ncid and ncid-1.11R into the root directory of my pi But running ncid -V still gives me: ncid (NCID) 1.11 Is there a step to actually instal the new version rather than unpacking it? Or shoudl it unpack into my /usr/bin directory to overwrite the presently installed version?

Hi Todd, I have an SD card with v1.9 up and running with everything working. That was a straightforward install and setup once I worked out the format for numbers in the alias file. But I also have another SD card with 1.11 installed which I am happy to play with to help diagnose any problems. It is this 1.11 install that fails to run ncid-notify. I ensured that both ncid and ncid-notify weren't running (neither are at present set to start on bootup). Then followed steps 2, 3 and 4 and I've attached...

I've run: sudo apt-get install tk However I still get the following when checking if ncid-notify is running properly ● ncid-notify.service - NCID using the NMA Output Module Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ncid-notify.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2021-05-19 14:33:56 BST; 14s ago Docs: man:ncid-notify(1) Process: 1811 ExecStart=/usr/bin/ncid --no-gui --pidfile /run/ncid-notify.pid -m ncid-notify (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID:...

Hi John, Thanks for the reply. In regard to the notifications I think I have resolved this my alias file was in the format: alias NAME * = "Sandy Mobile" if "xxxxxxxxxxx" And that didn't work However changing it to: alias NAME * = "Sandy Mobile" if "xxxxx-xxxxxx" Now works - I'm un the UK if that makes a difference. In regard to the latest version 1.11 Ncid-Notify doesn't load correctly. Here's the full process for a brand new install: I am using Pi Zero W I installed the latest version of raspbian...

After lots of fiddling to get NCID v1.11 working on my rapsberry pi I gave up and decided to install an older version and easily installed v 1.9 and got it up and running with no difficulties. I am using Prowl on my iPhone and also NCID Android on some tablets for notifications in the house. These are working and the number is displayed properly as soon as a call comes in. However the Name in my Alias file isn't displayed, instead I get No Name. I'm sure it is something simple I've missed but it...

Thank you. I've now removed and reinstalled NCID and it appears to be working OK. Fingers crossed!

OK - all was working yesterday. This morning I setup python and a script to link to IFTTT to trigger Pushover for notifications to my iPhone. Now NCID won't launch. The ncidd.log file doesn't show any errors Running systemctl shows ● ncid-notify.service loaded failed failed NCID using the NMA Output ● ncidd.service loaded failed failed Network Caller ID server Running: sudo systemctl start ncidd - results in Job for ncidd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

Thank you - problem solved.

Hi, Sadly my NCID that I installed on a CHIP 3 years ago has died and I’m now starting from scratch again. I’m using a Pi Zero W and installed the latest version of Raspbian - Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster). After installing Raspbian and updating it I installed gdebi using: sudo apt-get install gdebi I then installed the latest versions (1.11) of ncid and ncid-client The first hurdle was the error: /usr/bin/ncid: line 36: type: tclsh: not found /usr/bin/ncid: line 38: type: wish: not found This was...

Hi Todd, Thanks for the reply and workaround. Just to make sure there wasn't anything left over from previous installs and uninstalls I started over by reinstalling Raspbian so I had a clean system. Everything installed OK with 1.7.3 and following your sequence ncidd started as well. I can also confirm that ncidd was loaded correctly on reboot. The results of searching for ncidd.service are below: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo find / -name ncidd.service /run/systemd/generator.late/graphical.target.wants/ncidd.service...

Hi, Thanks for the quick replies. The good news - both server and client install without any errors. Unfortunately I'm still not able to start NCID using sudo invoke-rc.d ncidd start - same issue as with 1.6.1 Happy to send over the log file, but I can't find one. It's not in /var/log and I can't see a configuration option in ncidd.conf to set the location.

I've now installed 1.6.1 both server and client and they installed OK with no problems. But I've now got issues running NCID! sudo invoke-rc.d ncidd start - this runs and returns to the command prompt. But when I check the status I get ● ncidd.service - LSB: NCID (Network Caller ID) Server Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/ncidd; generated; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) invoke-rc.d: initscript ncidd, action "status" failed. Then wieh I run: ncid & I...

Hi, My first post here and I hope someone can help. I’ve been using NCID on a GetChip for the past 9-12 months and it has been great, until the CHIP stopped connecting to WiFI. I decided to install instead on a brand new Pi Zero. The Pi is setup as a headless unit with Raspbian Stretch Lite release date 2017-11-29 kernel version 4.9 I ran: sudo apt-get install libpcap0.8-dev I downloaded and installed the following files: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ncid/files/ncid/1.7/ncid_1.7-1_armhf.deb https://sourceforge.net/projects/ncid/files/ncid/1.7/ncid-client_1.7-1_all.deb...
