Fixed critical bug where jq command was incomplete in save_config function,
causing configuration save to fail with jq usage error when configuring
rotation sites.
Issue: The jq -n command on lines 3476-3493 had all arguments but was
missing the JSON template/filter, causing jq to output its help text
instead of creating the config file.
Fix: Added complete JSON object template to jq command with all required
fields (unit, autoswitch, enableTouch, etc.) and empty tabs array.
Version bumped from 0.9.6-2 to 0.9.6-3.
Created setup_intercom_simple.sh using talkiepi (barnard fork) instead of
talkkonnect for a more stable and lightweight intercom solution.
Advantages over talkkonnect:
- Simpler build process (no Opus patching required)
- Fewer dependencies (just Go, libopenal, libopus)
- Full CLI support for server, username, password, and channel
- More stable and less fragile
- Better suited for headless/kiosk automation
Also added INTERCOM_COMPARISON.md documenting all evaluated options
(talkkonnect, talkiepi, barnard, mumbler) with recommendations.
The uninstall function was only removing old installation paths, causing
talkkonnect to appear as "still installed" after uninstalling.
Fixed both check_talkkonnect_status() and uninstall_talkkonnect():
check_talkkonnect_status():
- Now checks for both old and new installation locations
- Old: ~/go/bin/talkkonnect and ~/talkkonnect.xml
- New: /usr/local/bin/talkkonnect and ~/.config/talkkonnect/
- Checks all locations to accurately determine if installed
uninstall_talkkonnect():
- Removes binaries from BOTH /usr/local/bin and ~/go/bin
- Removes config from BOTH ~/.config/talkkonnect and ~/talkkonnect.xml
- Properly stops and disables service before removing
- Shows progress with descriptive messages
- Optionally removes source directory ~/talkkonnect
- Only performs actions if files/directories actually exist
Now uninstall properly removes everything and status correctly shows
"Not installed" after uninstalling.
