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.
Completely replaced the install_talkkonnect_with_config() function in
setup_intercom.sh with the proven method from talkkonnect_complete_install.sh.
Key improvements:
- Uses working Opus patch for x86_64 architecture
- Installs to /usr/local/bin/talkkonnect (not ~/go/bin)
- Config in ~/.config/talkkonnect/ (proper XDG location)
- Sets <insecure>true</insecure> by default (handles self-signed certs)
- Proper XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in systemd service for PipeWire/audio
- Automatically enables service (starts on boot)
- Better progress feedback and error handling
- Uses Go 1.24.1 (latest stable)
The function now:
1. Installs all dependencies correctly
2. Builds with proper Opus library integration
3. Creates config with user's server/credentials from prompts
4. Sets up systemd service properly
5. Enables and starts service automatically
This makes setup_intercom.sh a complete, reliable one-stop solution
that uses the same proven method as talkkonnect_complete_install.sh
while maintaining the interactive prompt workflow.
Included files:
- setup_intercom.sh - Updated with new function
- setup_intercom.sh.backup - Backup of original
- setup_intercom_talkkonnect_function.txt - Reference for the new function
- update_setup_intercom.sh - Script used to perform the replacement
Created fix_talkkonnect_now.sh to resolve immediate issues:
- Sets <insecure>true</insecure> for self-signed certificates
- Warns about SuperUser account (admin-only, not for clients)
- Fixes file ownership and permissions
- Creates/updates systemd service
- Enables and starts talkkonnect service automatically
This fixes:
- Certificate errors ("wrong certificate")
- SuperUser connection issues (can't connect as SuperUser)
- Service not starting automatically
The script detects existing installations and fixes them in-place.
Minor update to setup_intercom.sh to indicate improved method.
Added fix_talkkonnect_audio.sh diagnostic script:
- Checks PipeWire/PulseAudio session availability
- Lists all audio devices (ALSA, PulseAudio/PipeWire)
- Shows current talkkonnect audio configuration
- Provides specific recommendations for audio issues
- Includes test commands for verifying audio
Updated TALKKONNECT_SETUP.md:
- Added "Common Warnings (Usually Non-Fatal)" section
- Explains "Unable to Unmute" error (cosmetic, audio usually works)
- Explains "Unable to Find Channel Name" warning
- Explains "Failed to connect PipeWire event context" error
- Added reference to audio diagnostic script
- Included quick audio test commands
These help users understand that common errors like "Unable to Unmute"
are non-fatal and audio typically works despite the warnings.
