Nomad Network & Rasperry Pi issues.

[RikomagicCloudsto]

I am trying to run Nomad Network on a Raspberry Pi 3.
The program has been installed correctly with Pip but it refuses to open the GUI when run from command line. The command prompt just appears again after running the program.

I have set the network interface in the reticulum config, in this case it's a serial LoRa device on ttyS0.

I am using 64 bit Raspian OS.

Any ideas?

That's very strange. The good news is I have a Pi3 running NomadNet right next to me, so it should be possible to fix.

So, there's no error messages, correct? And you're running either from a terminal or over ssh?

Can you post the logs from .nomadnetwork/logfile?

It there's no obvious issue, the second thing we should do is check to see if Reticulum is running well. Use

rnstatus

to check if it starts up and if the interfaces are functioning correctly. If something breaks there, you can increase the loglevel in .reticulum/config (by default). If that works perfectly, you can change the loglevel in .nomadnet/config.

You can also post your .reticulum/config and .nomadnetwork/config files if you think there may be an error.

Thanks for the reply! Great you have a Pi 3 working with Nomad.

Correct, there's no error messages and yes it's running in a terminal.

I'll post the log file below, there's a few errors!

rnstatus looks OK, it says the serial interface is up as per my serial configuration (9600bps)

Standby!

Reference urwid/urwid#803

It appears to have been an update in the last week. Still not sure why it affects you but not me, unless my pip repos are stale.

Thanks for this, it is strange.

I'll try
pip install urwid==2.1.2

This is a fresh Raspian image. Initially I had trouble installing nomadnetwork
I had this error when trying to install:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73830524/attributeerror-module-lib-has-no-attribute-x509-v-flag-cb-issuer-check

So I solved it with:

sudo apt remove python3-pip
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python3 get-pip.py

And then after a reboot:
pip install pyopenssl --upgrade

I'm also using English language, no unique characters.

It's running! Awesome!

Thanks so much 👍🏻

That SSL error drives me nuts every time I've installed a Pi since . . . Buster? Bullseye? Anyway, someday I'll remember how I fix it every time. :D

Glad to hear it's working! Have fun!

Haha yeah! It's a pain and will be a roadblock for other users getting on this definately.
