grgsm-capture / grgsm-decode error.

[kti...@gmail.com]

Hello, everyone.
Could you help me please.
When i run either grgsm-capture or grgsm-decode i confront with such  problem:

File "/usr/local/bin/grgsm_capture", line 235, in <module>
    elif not grgsm.arfcn.is_valid_arfcn(options.arfcn, options.band):
TypeError: is_valid_arfcn() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

How can i get over it?



Also,  there is the same  Error when running grgsm-decode and its File  which are available from  ( https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/wiki/Usage:-Decoding-How-To ).
 #grgsm_decode -c vf_call6_a725_d174_g5_Kc1EF00BAB3BAC7002.cfile -s $((100000000/174)) -a 725 -m BCCH -t 0
      Traceback (most recent call last):
       File "/usr/local/bin/grgsm_decode", line 361, in <module>
       if grgsm.arfcn.is_valid_arfcn(arfcn, band):
       TypeError: is_valid_arfcn() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Timur Karychev

Hi Timur,

This is result of me merging too quickly changes of arfcn module into
master branch. I did some work on making arfcn<->fc conversions more
robust but I haven't updated apps at that point. Try to pull the master
branch now - it should be better.

Mr Piotr Kkrysik , I'm still getting that error from the master branch,can you help ?

Most probably you have not updated your system correctly.

Which Linux distribution do you use and which version?

How did you install gr-gsm manually or using pybombs?

If you have installed gr-gsm manually, go to gr-gsm directory and execute

git checkout master

git pull

cd build

make

sudo make install

sudo ldconfig

Hi,

I also have some problems with grgsm update...

At this point I get this:

These warnings are harmless and you could safely ignore them.

Most probably gr-osmosdr package is not installed, try installing it from the apt repository (apt-get install gr-osmosdr) and if it still fails please upload the whole output somewhere (pastebin, dropbox, ....) and provide a link to it.

How did you install gnuradio and all other dependencies - from the apt repository or using pybombs?

Hi,

It is.

In fact, I already have installed grgsm, from previous versions of
Ubuntu (which has been upgraded then). Now I want just to upgrade it.

Hi,

See https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/issues/399#issuecomment-387982086

How did you installed the previous version manually or using pybombs?

How did you installed gnuradio manually or using pybombs?

Note that if you have installed them using pybombs you need to install gr-osmosdr using pybombs as well.

Pybombs.

I tried, but got error:

-- SoapySDR version: v0.6.1-g285e72aa
-- ABI/so version: v0.6
-- Install prefix: /usr/local
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/usr/local/src/soapysdr/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

least twice.
PyBOMBS.Packager.source - ERROR - Problem occurred while building
package soapysdr:
Configuration failed
PyBOMBS.install_manager - ERROR - Error installing package soapysdr.
Aborting.

Anyway, I think I am gonna reinstall the whole computer. The problem is,
I am just updating to newer Ubuntu version for a several years, testing
some software, etc., and have other problems as well. Probably fresh
install would be the easiest solution.

M.

Pybombs.

That explains why installing gr-osmosdr from the ubuntu repository did not help.

If you are going to reinstall please do not use pybombs but rather install the gnuradio and all other dependencies from the ubuntu repository and compile it manually. See our docker files for reference  https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/blob/2471052cfe724699c8bd2d4fec20d7f194cf6bb9/tests/dockerfiles/Ubuntu_16_04.docker

I think had the same issue. And I couldn't

make uninstall

my previous version before I started the current build,

If you look in

./gr-gsm/build

you should see another build directory

./gr-gsm/build/build

with may be normal - with only one subdirectory

./gr-gsm/build/build/app

but it looks screwy.

If true then you may have the issue I had.

In any case, after the error, try

make install

I think I may have removed gr-gsm by hand - or at least part of it - and
I was able to get to build and install.

My first is guess is there may be something wrong with the cmake
configuration for gr-gsm - but then I know very little about cmake.

Sorry, it took some time, since I was busy with other things. Output is
here:

https://0bin.net/paste/J1S2WWgar7BpP7PR#fHF199J7cLPa758GiZQUFlOyVf14NgL79S4zwZo76a6

I was unable to load it into Pastebin since it is too large...

This output is from the manual compilation of gr-gsm.

Warning: Block with key "zeromq_sub_source" already exists.

as expected the rtlsdr_source block is not found,

matej@cryptoloop:~/gr-gsm/build$ sudo make install

You can't install if compilation fails.

Now try to install gr-osmosdr using pybombs and if it fails provide the whole output.

https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-recipes/issues/91
https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/issues/374#issuecomment-365394881

You need to update your pybombs receipts

pybombs recipes update

then double check that soapysdr.lwr contains (https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-recipes/commit/fade356837b822264d72697e851b860fb92fa827)

vars:
  config_opt: ' -DENABLE_PYTHON3=OFF '

and then try installing gr-osmosdr with pybombs again.
