grgsm and "No module named grgsm"

[josefh...@hushmail.com]

Hello and Happy New Year!

installed and compiled gs-gsm under Ubuntu 16.04 under /home and moved the entire gr-gsm folder afterwards to /usr/local/bin


[just made a test w/o antenne to see if grgsm_livemon does run, but the following error message is shown: ]

test@Ubu1604-GSM:~$ sudo /usr/local/bin/gr-gsm/build/apps/grgsm_livemon -h
[sudo] password for test:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/gr-gsm/build/apps/grgsm_livemon", line 29, in <module>
from grgsm import arfcn
ImportError: No module named grgsm



Question:
What I am doing wrong?


Thank you very much for your help!

Joe

Hi - try moving it back /home were it  was compiled.

Hi Joe,

Best wishes for the New Year.

It's not a good idea to have build directories as root under /usr/local/bin
It's a security risk. Any cores you produce, can be read and access
sensitive root memory.
Not to mention that as root that as root if you accidentally do the
wrong chown, rmdir, or rm -rf you can destroy your Ubuntu:(
Best to build at home as user, and then "sudo make install"
The install directory you want it installed, is configured when you
run cmake. Defaults to /usr/local/bin

You obviously fixed your PATH to include /usr/local/bin/gr-gsm/apps/...
Livemon complains about your PYTHONPATH. What is that PYTONPATH?
My python gr-gsm is installed under
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/grgsm, not under python3!

Can you run a:
$ locate gsm_input.py

and post your output?

HTH

Hi Joe,

Indeed you seem to be using python2.7 not python3!
There are 2 python versions in each Ubuntu release, to support a lot
of different programs. This is normal.
Your PYTHONPATH should look like that:
PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Substitute for the PYTHON versions in your distro.

You shouldn't run livemon with sudo. Same security concerns.
You should run livemon as a regular user, test in your case, from your
home directory, not /usr/local/bin.
I assume that /usr/local/bin is in your PATH.
All the rest seem like path issues.
It complains that it cannot find libgrgsm.so
Type (from the test account):

sudo find /usr/local -name "libgrgsm.so*"

and post the output
Should be under /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib64 (lib is a link
pointing to lib64)

cd /etc/ld.conf.d
cat libc.conf

Post output here.

HTH

Greetings Nikos,

I have similar problem as Joe had. I had started a new thread " Problem after upgrade Kali to use grgsm". Is that right place for me to look for feedback or shall I update my problem here.

Any hints to get further is appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Manchili,

Yup. This is the right place for gr-gsm problems:)
Joe had several issues. Which one is yours?

Greetings Nikos,

grgsm_livemon was working earlier(2 years) ago on my Kali.

I had updated and upgraded in between and most recently with 2022.2. Now when I start grgsm_livemon it is not starting and gives the following output

Hi,

What is your gnuradio version?
How did you get grgsm to build with a cmake error?

Hi Nikos,

gnuradio-config-info -v
3.10.2.0

Two years ago when I built it on Kali 2020.2, it was ok. Since now I had upgraded Kali in between couple of times. Only two days ago started again grgsm_livemon and then error popped up as mentioned in previous mail.

[Nikos Balkanas]

Hi Mancili,

I didn't know that grgsm works with gnuradio 3.10...
Cmake complains about your gnuradio swig...
It should work with gnuradio 3.8.5
What about your cmake? How did you build grgsm?

[Manchili Sambasiva Rao]

Hi Nikos,

Yes, you are right  grgsm is not yet ported to gnuradio 3.9.*

https://githubhot.com/repo/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/issues/582

Velichkov mentioned contributions are welcome and he referred to Porting guide.... https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/GNU_Radio_3.9_OOT_Module_Porting_Guide

Yes cmake is complaining about swig error.

Now, I have to build and install gnuradio 3.8.5 ? Will that work on Kali 2022.2.

Thank you for any tips and procedure.

Best Regards,

Manchili

[Nikos Balkanas]

Hi,

You should install gnuradio 3.8.5.
You should also get the Velichkov patch, because git will fail to
detect volk libraries in cmake
and therefore miss gnuradio altogether:(
I am not sure about kali, I use Ubuntu.
But it should be fine if you compile it from sources.
You still haven't answered me. What was the /usr/local/lib/libgrgsm.so?
Was it your old grgsm? If so, you should always uninstall grgsm before
installing
new gnuradio or grgsm:)

Try the main-3.10 branch from the bkerler's fork [1] and provide feedback (both positive and negative) in Pull Request [2].

Hi Nikos,

Sorry, for not answering your question. I did not get your question earlier.

libgrgsm.so is old one built in 2020.

> ls -lrt /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgrgsm.so

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jul 28  2020 /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgrgsm.so -> libgrgsm.so.1.0.0git

I had uninstalled gnuradio https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php?title=UnInstallGR

and installed gnuradio 3.8(Fallback)  https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGR#For_GNU_Radio_3.8_or_Earlier.  Building and installing successful.

gnuradio-config-info -v      
v3.8.5.0-6-g57bd109d

Uninstall grgsm is tricky as I am getting error

E: Unable to locate package gr-gsm

In the meantime I found this https://github.com/bkerler/gr-gsm  probably already ported that works with gnuradio 3.10 (?)  It is little later, I had found after uninstalling gnuradio 3.10 and downloading, building 3.8 and installing 3.8).

Best Regards,

[Manchili Sambasiva Rao]

Hi Vasil,

Thank you for your inputs.

I had just fallen back to gnuradio 3.8.

Can I still take gr-gsm 3.10 and build and make ?

No. You can't build main-3.10 with gnuradio 3.8 and vice versa. Depending on your gnuradio version you need to get the appropriate branch.

Hi Vasil,

I tried to use 3.10 gr-gsm to cmake on gnuradio 3.8, obviously I got error

- Detecting C compile features - done
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:37 (find_package):
  Could not find a configuration file for package "Gnuradio" that is
  compatible with requested version "3.10".

  The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

    /usr/local/lib/cmake/gnuradio/GnuradioConfig.cmake, version: 3.8.5.git

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I will try again to uninstall 3.8 and install 3.10 and try and let you all know.

Cheers,

Hi Vasil,

I uninstalled gnuradio 3.8.5  and downloaded sources and tried to build 3.10 but gave compilation error. Before building gnuradio, Installed Volk from sources. Process went smoothly.

Then instead of building from sources for gnuradio, I directly install gnuradio with apt install.

gnuradio-config-info -v                    

3.10.2.0

gr-gsm

git clone https://github.com/bkerler/gr-gsm.git

cd gr-gsm

mkdir build

cd build

cmake .. mkdir $HOME/.grc_gnuradio/ $HOME/.gnuradio/

make

sudo make install

sudo ldconfig

All went smooth.  Earlier (with https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm)  I had problems in cmake.

So one step further, Thank you.

When I had started grgsm_livemon, I got errors.

I tried to find whereis grgsm_livemon and date of the script. It showed from yesterday which is definitely wrong if make install executed successfully today.

ls -lrt /usr/local/bin/grgsm_livemon
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15149 Jul 13 13:45 /usr/local/bin/grgsm_livemon

At the moment I am stuck here, small hurdle. It is no clear where I had done the mistake. In the whole process of grgsm cmake and make  and  make install did not throw any errors.

Cheers,

Hi Vasil,

I tried to find date and timestamps of all grgsm_* executables.

All are fine, i.e.,  built today and installed except grgsm_livemo*

ls -lrt /usr/local/bin/grgsm_*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10011 Jul 28  2020 /usr/local/bin/grgsm_livemon_headless

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20293 Jul 14 22:23 /usr/local/bin/grgsm_decode

Any hint ?

Any other tests that I can do double check ?

Thank you for your time.

Hi All,

I had cleaned and again make the grgsm from github(bkeler) maint-3.10_with_multiarfcn. This time I analysed the build process and few lines are as follows.

[  2%] Generating gsm_input.pyc, multiarfcns_receiver.pyc, fcch_burst_tagger.pyc, sch_detector.pyc, fcch_detector.pyc, chirpz.pyc
[  2%] Generating grgsm_livemon.1
[  3%] Building CXX object lib/CMakeFiles/gnuradio-gsm.dir/constants.cc.o
[  4%] Shebangin grgsm_capture
[  5%] Generating __init__.pyc

....

....

[ 97%] Building CXX object python/gsm/bindings/CMakeFiles/gsm_python.dir/python_bindings.cc.o

[100%] Shebangin grgsm_scanner
[100%] Shebangin grgsm_decode

I did not notice either Shebangin grgsm_livemon or Shebangin grgsm_livemon_headless. With this I can conclude to my understanding that grgsm_livemon is not being built on Kali 2022.2.

Is there a way to build it separately ? Any references are helpful.

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

[Nikos Balkanas]

Hi Mancili,

Livemon is just a python script, built automatically from a .grc file.
It hasn't changed.
It is built by gnuradio-companion. This grc file is outdated and
doesn't even work
with gnuradio 3.8.5. Smn needs to update it, or if this is a problem,
stop generating it from grc
and install it directly from git:(
I just copied it from my previous gr-gsm into my new gr-gsm/apps.

HTH

Can you please help me how to do that ?

Report all this in the pull request where bkeler's changes are being reviewed.

https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/pull/600

> Is there a way to build it separately ? Any references are helpful.

It is a gnuradio flowgraph, after installing gr-gsm you may open it using gnuradio companion and generate the pythong script (F5) or execute it (F6)

gnuradio-companion ./apps/grgsm_livemon.grc

Vasil

This seems to be a bug, open apps/CMakeLists.txt and uncomment line 29 (remove the leading #)

OPTION(ENABLE_GRCC "Compile the flowgraphs with grcc" ON)

Then remove your build directory and built from scratch.
