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.
The installation script was failing with "Permission denied" when trying
to create the config directory in another user's home directory.
Fixes:
1. Added home directory existence check before creating config
2. Use sudo -u to create directory as target user when needed
3. Use sudo tee to write config file (handles all permission scenarios)
4. Use sudo for sed command to modify the created config file
5. Always set proper ownership and permissions after creation
This fixes the "mkdir: cannot create directory '/home/kiosk': Permission denied" error.
Now the script will:
- Verify target user's home directory exists (fail gracefully if not)
- Create config directory as the target user
- Write config file with sudo to avoid permission issues
- Set proper ownership (user:user) and permissions (755 dir, 644 file)
Added diagnose_talkkonnect.sh to help troubleshoot installation issues:
- Checks binary installation
- Finds all config files and shows ownership
- Analyzes systemd service configuration
- Detects audio/PipeWire sessions for each user
- Identifies permission mismatches
- Provides specific recommendations
Improved fix_talkkonnect_permissions.sh:
- Now automatically updates systemd service file if needed
- Changes service user to match target user
- Updates config path in service file
- Reloads systemd after changes
- Stops service before making changes
These tools help resolve the "permission denied" error when talkkonnect
is configured to run as one user but config is owned by another.
The installation script had a critical bug where it created the config
directory in the script runner's home directory instead of the target
user's home directory. This caused "permission denied" errors when the
systemd service tried to run as the target user.
Changes:
- Fixed CONFIG_DIR to use $TARGET_HOME instead of $HOME
- Updated config path replacements to use $TARGET_HOME
- Added ownership change after config creation when running as different user
- Created fix_talkkonnect_permissions.sh script to repair existing installations
- Added comprehensive TALKKONNECT_SETUP.md with troubleshooting guide
This fixes the "open /home/user/.config/talkkonnect/talkkonnect.xml: permission denied" error.
The script was exiting immediately after showing "Devices found: 14" because
the timeout command returns exit code 124, which caused the script to bail
due to 'set -euo pipefail'. Added '|| true' to wait and bluetoothctl scan off
commands to allow the script to continue executing and display the device list.
install_kiosk_0.9.6-2.sh:7185-7186
Fixes:
1. Addons menu: Remove duplicate menu items (1,2 appeared twice)
- Fixed numbering: Remote Access is now option 5 instead of 6
2. Bluetooth scanning improvements:
- Make controller pairable/discoverable before scanning
- Capture scan output to show DISCOVERED devices (not just paired)
- Real-time progress indicator during 30-second scan
- Separate display of discovered vs already-paired devices
- Better error handling for pairing failures
- Proper cleanup of scan process with 'scan off'
- Helpful hints when pairing fails (e.g., AuthenticationFailed)
The bluetooth scan previously only showed paired devices after scanning,
which made it appear that no devices were found even when they were
broadcasting. Now it properly captures and displays discovered devices.
Created check_talkkonnect_fix.sh to verify if the terminal initialization
fix has been applied to the talkkonnect systemd service. This script checks
for the presence of:
- Environment="TERM=dumb"
- StandardInput=null
These settings are required to prevent the "Cannot Initialize Terminal" error
when talkkonnect runs as a systemd service without a TTY.
PROBLEM:
- talkkonnect fails with "Cannot Initialize Terminal" error
- Service shows "Talkkonnect Terminated Abnormally" in logs
- Root cause: talkkonnect uses termbox-go which requires a TTY
- Systemd services don't provide TTY by default
SOLUTION:
- Added Environment="TERM=dumb" to systemd service
- Added StandardInput=null to prevent terminal initialization
- Both changes allow talkkonnect to run headless as a service
CHANGES:
- Updated install_kiosk_0.9.6-1.sh with the fix
- Created install_kiosk_0.9.6-2.sh (new version with fix)
- Added fix_talkkonnect_terminal.sh for quick patching of existing installations
