I am following the manual setup instructions. In the Advanced Wifi Setup section, step 3 says to go to the /home/pi directory and issue the following command: sudo ./wificonfig. When I do that I get "command not found".
I'm a newbie to linux and researched commands to look for "wificonfig" but it appears (and understandably so) that some command like "find" might not be implemented in this version of linux.
Any ideas where wificonfig is located?

"sudo reboot" will accomplish the same thing, just takes a bit longer.

Thanks Bob! I have reimaged my SD card and worked through the manual setup and still no joy. I have checked and double checked the fields mentioned in the manual setup. I am attaching two log files incase anyone on the thread has any suggestions of what to try next. In the DStarRepeater log, the 5th to the last line complains of an Invalid Network for RPT2. I see the software has set it to WCTRF C, which must be set in the software as I don't see anyplace I have specified "C". Might this be the issue? The ircDDB...log complains of many files it cannot locate, since ircDDB is disabled, it is not clear to me if these are errors I should be concerned about. Thanks in advance for the help. Jon |

Jon;
The W6TRF C you see in the log is coming from your radio (the RPT1 field), and it does not match the gateway's call+mod of W6TRF B, hence the error.
Clearly your internet connection to the Pi is not functioning, as the gateway log shows that all the host file lookups are failing. It has nothing to do with ircddb--that's only used by gateways (mostly repeaters) that have a separate club call and ircddb registration under that call.
Have you tried the automated setup using DStarConfig.exe on a PC?

Bob;
Happy New Year. I am back from my trip and have access to a PC so I was able to use the DstarConfig.exe and am back up and running. While on my trip, I only had access to a Mac with Vmware Fusion so while I could “emulate a PC”, the native SD card reader in the Mac isn’t recognizable by Fusion so I couldn’t utilize the “interactive setup”. Even though I am back up and running, I’d like to sort out a few items for the future.
You noted “The W6TRF C you see in the log is coming from your radio (the RPT1 field), and it does not match the gateway's call+mod of W6TRF B, hence the error.” Which tabs/fields in the config utilities map to these fields? As noted I triple checked each tab in the config against screen shots I had captured of my working config prior to my trip.
Re “internet connection to the Pi not functioning”… I was controlling my Pi via remote VNC. I would think that if I could see the Pi “desktop” on the VNC viewer and perform shutdown and reboot commands via wifi that I would be connected correctly. Is there some additional independent wifi setup specifically for Dstar Commander?
I must be missing something?
Finally, in one of my other threads, you mentioned a good practice of keeping a “backup” SD card for travel incase an SD card gets corrupted. Do you have a recommendation of software to clone a “master” DstarCommander SD card setup using a PC?
Thanks again for all the help.

Jon;
The logs showed that your hotspot was configured as W6TRF B, but your radio (that device with the PTT switch that you talk into) was programmed with W6TRF C in the RPT1 field. The programing in your radio did not match the hotspot, hence the error.
You can communicate across a LAN without having access to the internet. Sounds like your devices could see each other locally, but the Pi was not getting past your firewall for internet and/or DNS access. The log showed all the host file resolution attempts failing.
Win32DiskImage allows you to read from an SD card and create an image file that can then be written back to an SD card of equal or larger size. Use the "READ" button on the card, and save it to a file e.g. W6TRF_Working_Image.img -- then rewrite another SD Card with that file as the source. If you keep that file on the PC, you can re-create a new copy of the working image at will.
Regards
