grgsm / Warning: failed to XInitThreads() / make install error

[josefh...@hushmail.com]

Hello list

had to reinstall grgsm to a newly installed Ubuntu 1804:( This time I get an
error during "sudo make install" and probably as a result of this, after executing
"grgsm_livemon -h" as well...

My idea is that I tried to install and compile it exactly as I did it the first time
a month ago... But I not totally sure if this is the case as well with the path.....


Any ideas are appreciated very much!

Joe

Hi Joe,

Seems you are missing a gtk package.
Type:

> dpkg -l "libcanberra-gtk-module*"
If you don't have it, install libcanberra-gtk-module.

Hi,

Seems livemon can't find libX11.so. Check its path.
Strange. This is a main library. You can't get Ubuntu up without it:(

Hi Nikos,

Sorry for jumping into the discussion,

"Kindly shed some light on if "GSM frame number and time shown in Wireshark" are assigned by Wireshark locally or these are communicated in GSM packets between BTS and MS"

[Nikos Balkanas]

Hi Abdul,

Wireshark doesn't make up data.
gr-gsm creates the pseudo gsm packets that wireshark displays.
I am not sure if gr-gsm extracts this information from the gsm
packets, or it generates its own,
without checking the code for that.
It would be easier for you to check it. If when you restart livemon it
always starts from frame #1, then gr-gsm assigns them.
Else it reads them off the packets.
Important data like time slots or msg types and data, are always
extracted from gsm data.

Hi,

You seem to be missing a link.
> cd /usr/lib/x86_64_linux-gnu/
> sudo ln -s libX11.so.6 libX11.so

and try again. If it doesn't work go to /etc/ld.conf and check if
x86_64-linux-gnu is in there:)
