neumoDVB

[Llew]

I went back to Ubuntu to try a spectrum scan again. This time I added the missing si2183 demod firmware, copying the existing file from lib/firmware present in my Fedora OS. Spectrum scanning and blindscan now OK.

Unfortunately, the spikes appear in Ubuntu too. Looking at satesco's Ubuntu spectrum screenshots, which are apparently clear of any similar manifestation, I have to conclude my card does indeed have a hardware problem, at least in its DVB-S/S2 section.

No matter, I shall probably restrict my use to the terrestrial tuners, and use the TBS6903X for fft scans.

It is still strange that it would occor on both RF inputs.

Ubuntu or fedora makes no difference of course if the drivers are the same

Has 6.0E ever been in the satellite list? I can't add it in Networks as the list is read only. Perhaps the ability to do so has been removed in one of the more recent updates, as I have been able to add the satellite in one of my earlier efforts.

Is there a satellite at 6.0E? You can add any network you want. The list is readonly until you turn on edit mode. It is explained in the documentation.

It goes without saying that I'm in edit mode to be able to add/change anything.

6.0E (WGS1) is a US military satellite with Ka transponders. I'm always on the lookout for interesting Ka stuff.

OK, I've managed to add 6.0E in the usals position, and the current position shows it correctly, but I couldn't add the satellite in the Network LNB column, hence the appearance of the default 63.0W in the List-LNBs-Networks column.

I just tried it myself, and I did not see any problems. Are you sure the satellite was actually added to the sat list?

As I have said, it's not in the satellite list, at least mine. I can't add it, as it's read only. At one stage I added 6.0E to the usals list, which is not read only, and 6.0E did then appear in the LNB box.
Carrying on after adding my card in Connections, I attempted a spectrum scan, but the satellite is missing. Obviously that meant I couldn't progress further.

Hi,Llew,

I don't know why you can't register a new position in the satellite list, but I tried to see if, on Ubuntu 22.04, I can add a new satellite to the list.
I also made a video of how I did to add 6.0E to the list. I didn't use USALS because I use the positioner to move my antenna.
If it helps, here is what I did to get 6.0E on the list:

I forgot to go to Satellites in the List Thanks satesco for the reminder. It's a while since I added a new satellite (last year I think).

Apologies to @deeptho for my amnesia

 

[Llew]

At last.

Satesco indeed came to the rescue...

I'm currently installing neumodvb in Manjaro. I appear to have all the required dependencies, as it has built 100%.

The problem can be seen in the console. Is it correct that it's building the gui, but stops when it comes to using wxWidgets-gtk3 3.2.2?. I do have the latest version in Manjaro.

If you get a chance, perhaps you could check the logs? I don't see any errors in neumo's log.

Probably you are using some unsupported (newer) version of wxwidgets.

What isnthe output of:
python3
import wx
wx.version()

You could replace line 43 of neumolist.py with
is_old_wx = False

and see what happens. No guarantee that things will work

As a Linux amateur, I chose the unprofessional way. Thanks.

neumodvb up and running in Manjaro now. Kind of...

Spectrum scanning good. Just a problem getting a channel to open. Needs more work on that.

Will maybe list the dependencies needed to build neumodvb in Manjaro. There's at least two that need to be taken from the ArchLinux repository (dvbcsa for instance).

Llew,

can yoy still post the utput of
python3
import wx
wx.version()

Llew,

python3 = 3.11.3

The others don't show anything in terminal.

wx in software installed has these : (red box = installed).



wxwidgets-gtk3 was installed before wxwidgets-qt5, so I removed the latter - I think there was a problem having them both if I remember.

Sorry... solved.

You literally have to type the following commands and tell me what the output is.
If python3 is not a command on your computer, then use "python" itself

.

python3
import wx
wx.version()

For example: on my computer:

python3
Python 3.11.3 (main, May 24 2023, 00:00:00) [GCC 13.1.1 20230511 (Red Hat 13.1.1-2)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
>>> import wx
>>>
>>> wx.version()
'4.2.0 gtk3 (phoenix) wxWidgets 3.2.1'
>>>

python3
Python 3.11.3 (main, May 24 2023, 00:00:00) [GCC 13.1.1 20230511 (Red Hat 13.1.1-2)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

I had that output or similar. I'll check again.

Nothing after this -

Still waiting for the rest...
