ubuntu-24.04-knowledgebase

Obsolete, fresh ubuntu 24.04 should work out of the box with gnome-remote-desktop: 46.0-2.

If you enabled gnome-remote-desktop in ubuntu 24.04 (ubuntu noble nombat), and cannot connect and see these errors in journalctl

NORDAC frequency converter changes/differences in parameters between 5xxE and 5xxP series

There are some subtle differences between Nord frequency converters from the 500e and 500p series. I.e. changing from 530e to NORDAC PRO 550p needs different register. Unfortunately I had no changelog from the manufacturer.

The reference documents are BU 0500 and BU 0600 respectively. I found no good way discerning the models apart from reading the parameter 742 = Data base version.

P= Parameter Set dependant
Arr = Array Parameter
V = Simple (V)alue, i.e. word/dblword

Hiermit lassen sich aktive Gespräche, die von TetraControl erfasst werden, live über Webtechnologien anzeigen.

Sehr hilfreich bei mehreren Funkkreisen und Arbeitsplätzen mit viel Bildschirmplatz, die ein kleines weiteres Fenster anzeigen können.

Es werden bis zu 4 Funkkreise unterstütz, mit Klick auf den blauen Text lassen die sich einfach verstecken/anzeigen.

Wireguard re-resolve dns script for dynamic endpoints (dyndns)

This is a script I use on windows for dynamic DNS endpoints ("servers").

The big upside is that it supports multiple configurations and does not need hard-coded endpoints or "ping-endpoints".

I have tested this in win7 and win10. You might add it to the task scheduler and run this every 3 minutes or so.

Some care has to be taken as to know which user is running the script. The encrypted dpapi-binary file can only be read by the same user that created/saved the tunnels, i.e. \system.

wireguard client on windows unprivileged user restart tunnel

Howto install wireguard as tunnel-Service when user is not local administrator.

See the setup .bat for setup. Key here is to set the service rights, so that anyone can restart the service.

See the restart script for how to restart. this is especially useful if the tunnel is "broken", because the peer is behind a dynamic dns service.
