Hey guys, Here I am to claim that installation on Ubuntu Xenial is possible, even that maybe have to spend some extra time fixing the fact that chris-lea/zeromq repository does not have files on the respective repository (https://gist.github.com/katopz/8b766a5cb0ca96c816658e9407e83d00).
Anyway, I managed to install OpenBTS-UMTS but once the system is up (./OpenBTS-UMTS), it seems that doing any modification whether with config/devconfig/rawconfig does not have any effect on the OpenBTS-UMTS.db located at /etc/OpenBTS which is the database containing the system parameters that OpenBTS-UMTS loads up. My test cellphone supports (for reasons unknown) only WCDMA-1900 on 3G bands and I needed to set this up properly on OpenBTS-UMTS, but when the modification was done and I restarted the system, at the moment of re-start it ... it gave this error:
Seems that aparently it somehow manage to change the Band but no the C0 ...
Then to solve the problem:
cd /etc/OpenBTS
nano OpenBTS-UMTS.example.sql (changing data manually):
INSERT OR IGNORE INTO "CONFIG" VALUES('UMTS.Radio.Band','1900',1,0,'The UMTS operating band. Valid values are 850, 900, $
INSERT OR IGNORE INTO "CONFIG" VALUES('UMTS.Radio.C0','9800',1,0,'The UARFCN. Range of valid values depend upon the sele$
and then to create manually the database file:
root@deepsecurity:/etc/OpenBTS# sqlite3 OpenBTS-UMTS.db ".read OpenBTS-UMTS.example.sql"
Sometimes the transceiver module hangs out the system and executing ./OpenBTS-UMTS will propmt:
root@xxxxxxxxxxxx:~/OpenBTS-UMTS/apps# ./OpenBTS-UMTS
bind() failed: Address already in use
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'SocketError'
Aborted (core dumped)

Can anyone confirm that ... or maybe I have done something wrong ...
