I've do several tests regarding to the Linux installation. Debian 11, install OK, works, CPU normal Debian 12, install OK, works, CPU normal Ubuntu 22, not tested Ubuntu 24, install OK, works, CPU normal Fedora 40, not tested Fedora 41, works if VERSION_ID=41 is added to the Fedora install section. Raspberry Pi 4 aarch64, install OK, works, but CPU is over 95% most of the time.

Two notes: Maybe the script should check if the user is in the sudo group. This would help newbies. Depending on the used transceiver, the user needs to be in the dialout group. If it is not, everything works fine, but the radio would not respond. Or just mention this in the installation dokumentation.

Added support for Fedora 41 to the install script.

I've added a check for the account being in the dialout group in the install script, and exits with a warning if it isn't there. Checking if an account has sudo privs is a little more complicated, so I opted to simply write out a warning on the screen saying if the sudo command fails with "Sorry", or "not in sudoers file", or something to that effect, to make sure your account has sudo privs. At least this gives a hint of where to look if there is an issue.

@LA3QMA any news regarding deleting messages? If its working, just let me know, so we ken mark this task as "checked"

DJ2LS avatar Mar 04 '25 10:03 DJ2LS

The message is now deleted from the table "p2p_message" and "message_attachment" when i delete it from a individual message. But the attachments is still in the table "attachment". Using the "Delete Chat" i think also deleting the attachments would be useful

Also at restart there is a check now if orphaned attachments are there. Maybe this solves this in your case because of old unclean state
