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.
The status check was showing "Not installed" even after successful
installation because it relied on PATH and file checks that weren't
working reliably.
Changes:
- Check for /etc/systemd/system/talkkonnect.service first
- This is the most reliable indicator of installation
- Systemd service file is created during install and requires root
- Falls back to command/file checks if service file doesn't exist
This ensures status shows correctly immediately after installation.
Fixes "Text file busy" error and "Not installed" status:
1. **Stop service before install** (lines 535-547)
- Check if talkkonnect service is running
- Stop systemd service if active
- Kill any stray processes
- Sleep 1 second to ensure file is released
- Then copy the new binary
2. **Fix status check** (line 72)
- Changed from $HOME/go/bin/talkkonnect
- To /home/$KIOSK_USER/go/bin/talkkonnect
- Now correctly detects installed binary
3. **Separate build and install steps**
- Build completes inside first sudo block
- Installation happens in second sudo block after stopping service
- Clean error handling for each step
This matches the working talkkonnect_complete_install.sh approach.
The build was succeeding but the post-build verification was failing
because it tried to check /home/kiosk/talkkonnect-binary from outside
the sudo -u kiosk block.
Changes:
- Move binary verification and installation inside the sudo -u block
- Use ~ instead of /home/$KIOSK_USER (more reliable inside sudo)
- Remove redundant chmod/chown after sudo block
- Binary now installed while running as kiosk user
This matches the approach from talkkonnect_complete_install.sh where
all file operations happen inside the user context.
Changed from /tmp to ~/talkkonnect to match working script approach:
- Clone to /home/$KIOSK_USER/talkkonnect instead of /tmp/talkkonnect-src
- Build to ~/talkkonnect-binary then copy to ~/go/bin/talkkonnect
- Run all operations as kiosk user from the start
- No chown needed - user owns their own home directory
This eliminates all "Permission denied" errors when:
- Creating vendor directory
- Removing old source files
- Building the binary
Matches the proven approach from talkkonnect_complete_install.sh
Added chown after git clone to give kiosk user ownership of the
/tmp/talkkonnect-src directory. This allows 'go mod vendor' to
successfully create the vendor directory when running as kiosk user.
Without this fix, the build would fail with:
"go: mkdir /tmp/talkkonnect-src/vendor: permission denied"
"Warning: gopus not found in vendor directory"
"[ERROR] Binary not executable after build"
Critical fixes to resolve "[ERROR] Binary not executable after build":
1. **Opus x86_64 Compatibility Patch**
- Added gopus library patch to use system libopus for x86_64
- The embedded Opus source in gopus is ARM-optimized and incomplete for x86_64
- Now uses pkg-config to link against system libopus library
2. **Vendored Dependencies**
- Added `go mod vendor` to create vendored dependencies
- Build now uses `-mod=vendor` flag to ensure patched gopus is used
3. **Enhanced Build Process**
- Set CGO_CFLAGS and CGO_LDFLAGS for proper Opus compilation
- Build in cmd/talkkonnect directory (correct location)
- Added build-essential and pkg-config to dependencies
4. **Improved XML Configuration**
- Updated to modern talkkonnect/xml document type
- Added critical voicetargets section to prevent crashes
- Added proper global settings structure
- Created .config/talkkonnect directory for logs
5. **Additional Dependencies**
- Added libopus0, libopusfile-dev for complete Opus support
- Added build-essential and pkg-config for compilation
This integrates the working approach from talkkonnect_complete_install.sh
into the setup_intercom.sh script.
Created modular, standalone intercom system to avoid bloating the
10,000+ line main install script.
New Files:
