Problem with new ASL3/Deb12 install

Hi all, new to Allstar and not totally sure if what’s happening is a problem or expected behavior. I’ve installed ASL3 and a new Deb12 install on a Dell/Wyse 3040. It all appears to work, Allmon 3 is looking good and reports a working system. My issue is - if I run the Asterisk CLI in one window and ASL-Menu with Interface tune in the other the minute I select F to Flash PTT I get the error msg “SimpleUSB tuning CLI did not launch. Try restarting Asterisk” - and the CLI window collapses back to the menu. Everything else looks ok from my limited testing. The radio interface is a RIM-Lite with no radio attached yet. I have had the same issue with USB CM108 audio Fob attached.

System details;
OS : Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
│ OS Kernel : 6.1.0-22-amd64
│
│ Asterisk : 20.8.1+asl3-3.0.2-1.deb12
│ ASL [app_rpt] : 3.0.1
│
│ Installed ASL packages :

│ Package Version
│ ==================== ==============================

│ asl3 3.2.0-1.deb
│ asl3-asterisk 2:20.8.1+asl3-3.0.2-1.deb12
│ asl3-asterisk-config 2:20.8.1+asl3-3.0.2-1.deb12
│ asl3-asterisk-module 2:20.8.1+asl3-3.0.2-1.deb12
│ asl3-menu 1.6-1.deb12

Many thanks for any pointers

As an update - hooked up the same hardware to a Pi400 using the Pi image and it was up and running in under 20 mins. I’m going to rebuild the 3040 again.

Does the light on your CM108 flash or stay on. If it doesn’t flash then it is probably a device string issue where the wrong usb port has been bound in rpt.conf and you could try setting devstrng= in rpt.conf in case it has bound to a different port. When you remove anything written there and restart then it should pick the correct port automatically. You could also check with lsusb command which port cm108 shows up with and use that.

If you havent rebuilt it yet, try before going through the whole ordeal again. Otherwise fresh installs should fix most issues :smiley:

(Just saw this is 4 months old, but will leave it up in case someone else has similar issues)
