New Install of ASL "Beta" version & SkywarnPlus #43

Closed wrhowell closed 11 months ago

wrhowell commented 11 months ago

Machine: Wyse 5020 Machine, 1TB SSD & 16gig memory OS: Ubuntu 20.04 Destop with Virtualbox Install VM Running: ASL "Beta" Version: AllStarLink ASL 2.0.0-beta (http://downloads.allstarlink.org/index.php?b=ASL_Images_Beta)

When running "./SkywarnPlus.py" it returns the following:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "./SkywarnPlus.py", line 43, in from dateutil import parser ImportError: No module named 'dateutil'

Suggested repair procedures, please?

Mason10198 commented 11 months ago

The error message you provided explains the issue. You have not properly installed the required dependency packages as per the installation instructions:

Follow the steps below to install:

  1. Dependencies

    Install the required dependencies using the following commands:

    Debian

    apt install unzip python3 python3-pip ffmpeg
pip3 install ruamel.yaml requests python-dateutil pydub
wrhowell commented 11 months ago

Actually, I thought that were the problem and went back (twice) and ran those commands again with still the same results.

So I will do a complete remove/install of ASL then install the SkywarPlus again and see what happens.

Mason10198 commented 11 months ago

Please make sure you update ASL with apt update and apt upgrade after installing ASL to ensure Python and Pip are up to date. The current versions of the ASL beta image are very out of date and you will likely encounter PUBKEY errors on the ASL repo when running apt update. Solution for this is readily available with a Google search.

Install the dependencies line-by-line, and check for errors in the output between each command. Post any errors you find here.

Ok sir, I've cleaned the drive (started with a whole new VM, installed the ASL Beta, then followed your command on installing SkywarnPlus now for the third time. Thinking that I being 73 goofed something up and each time I run "./SkywarnPlus.py I still get the same thing....

See attached pic...

wrhowell commented 11 months ago

I forgot to add, t\each time of the three times I did a apt update then a apt upgrade just to make sure everything was as close to current as possible.

Images cannot be uploaded to Github via email. You must log in to Github and post the image directly to the issue thread. Thank you

wrhowell commented 11 months ago

Well, I will try to do that... in the mean time, I have it working on a Pi, the only thing is --- I've had like three people already this morning tell me to turn it off. That screeching alert sound (as they call it) needs to be changed to something else. People saying it sounds like a whistle on a steam ship and hurts their ears, so do you have another sound in your sound files that is closer to what the weather service uses on their weather monitors by chance, or something of a lower tone alert sound that you would recommend?

Mason10198 commented 11 months ago

The purpose of the alert sound is to get your attention. If you don't like it, you can change it. The project is open source and I have already extensively documented and structured the files and explained how to change them if you desire.

wrhowell commented 11 months ago

I understand that, I know how to change them, was just asking if you had some other "recommended" tones that are closer too what NWS uses since you designed this and know what all tones you have placed in your sounds files.

Thanks anyways.

Mason10198 commented 11 months ago

The only alternative tones included are intended to be used as courtesy tones.

I have no recommendations other than to use the included file, which is why it is included.

I'm not sure what you mean by "what the NWS uses", unless you are talking about EAS/SAME tones, which are not auditory alerts but instead digital data packets containing alert information.

Back on the original subject of this issue, please provide more information about your installation errors. Based on the original error you provided, your node simply does not have the "python-dateutil" Python package installed, which indicates that you either encountered errors while installing the prerequisite packages without realizing, or did not follow the instructions correctly. Both cases would not be an "issue" of SkywarnPlus and technically do not need to be posted here, but I am still willing to assist.

Mason10198 commented 11 months ago

I re-created your setup with a fresh VirtualBox VM of asl-2.0.0-beta.6 and was unable to replicate your issue, or any issues for that matter, following the instructions in the README.md. I will continue to assume that the issue you are encountering has no relevance to SkywarnPlus directly, and will be closing this issue as completed soon unless proven otherwise.

Additional notes: I just released v0.3.5 which makes it even easier to customize the audio files and sound effects, without needing to cut/splice them in software.

wrhowell commented 11 months ago

Thank you, I will try out the new version early next week.

wrhowell commented 11 months ago

Ok, I went and wiped the drive clean, install ASL (non beta version) from start to finish, did sudo apt update, then sudo apt upgrade, then did the sudo apt install unzip python3 python3-pip ffmpeg, then did the sudo pip3 install ruamel.yaml request python-dateutil pydub, then did the github thing, then unzipped the file, then rm the zip file, then the chmod thing, then went thru the yaml config and set all that up, made the modes within rpt as stated, and have gotten to the point of running sudo /usr/local/bin/SkywarnPlus/SkyControl.py ---- and am gettin the following in return --- "

Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "/usr/local/bin/SkywarnPlus/SkyControl.py", line 30, in <module>
        from ruamel.yaml import YAML
ImportError: No module named 'ruamel'

Suggestions/recommends?

mjwgeek commented 11 months ago

when you run pip3 install ruamel.yaml what happens?

on a brand new system, this is what I got:

pip3 install ruamel.yaml Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple Collecting ruamel.yaml Downloading https://www.piwheels.org/simple/ruamel-yaml/ruamel.yaml-0.17.32-py3-none-any.whl (112 kB) |████████████████████████████████| 112 kB 289 kB/s Collecting ruamel.yaml.clib>=0.2.7 Downloading ruamel.yaml.clib-0.2.7-cp39-cp39-manylinux2014_aarch64.whl (651 kB) |████████████████████████████████| 651 kB 2.8 MB/s Installing collected packages: ruamel.yaml.clib, ruamel.yaml Successfully installed ruamel.yaml-0.17.32 ruamel.yaml.clib-0.2.7

At first since I was using sudo comman it thru an error that the '/home/william/.cache/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and to use the -H with sudo which I did...

then got this:

Downloading https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/d9/0e/(key info stuff too long to enter)/ruamel.yaml-0.17.32-py3-none-any.whl (112kb) 100% | | 112kb 959kb/s collecting request Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement request (from version:) No matching distribution found for request You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 23.2.1 is avaiable. You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

I do believe that per the utube video that the warning is normal ---- am I wrong?

mjwgeek commented 11 months ago

I haven't personally used the non beta ASL in years to be honest. if sudo /usr/local/bin/SkywarnPlus/SkyControl.py still doesn't work then I would upgrade as it stated.

wrhowell commented 11 months ago

I can try that and see what happens I guess.... can't hurt anything I don't imagine. Worse that could happen is having to do a rm/install of a new VM...
