So the image isn't hosted yet... what's a body to do?

OK if you want to modify settings, or set this up from scratch.. here’s how I did it with a minimum of fuss.

I loaded the latest raspian/jesse onto an sd card and ran with it.   This will probably take less time than downloading the image anyway, if you are at all familiar with config files, and navigating in linux

Install mumble and mumble server using the regular add/remove software. (must have internet connection)

First problem.. Mumble can auto load at boot, but needs a delay for the sound drivers to load first. In home/pi/.config/lxsession/lxde-pi Edit the auto start file and add the command “@bash delaypicomm.sh” to the end of the file. That will run the bash file delaypicomm.sh at startup, which we are about to create.

Using nano or the gui text editor on the pi,

#!/bin/bash

echo “start”

sleep 15

mumble mumble://pi@192.168.0.1

echo “stop”

Save in the /home/pi/.config/lxsession

Then sudo chmod +x /home/pi/.config/lxsession/lxde-pi/delaypicomm.sh

That will make the file executable.

copy delaypicomm.sh to the /bin directory

sudo cp /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/delaypicomm.sh /bin

You can shut down mumble and open a terminal and 

 

sudo bash delaypicomm.sh 

to test the script.




If all went well, reboot and the pi should auto log in with time for the audio to start first.

Now we set up the pi to be it’s own wifi router/access point. (Everybody sing “I’m my own Grandpa”)

From the terminal

to freshen the index of repositories

sudo apt-get update

to get all the latest and greatest packages

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get install dnsmasq hostapd

now turn off the new software so you can config

sudo systemctl stop dnsmasq

sudo systemctl stop hostapd

configure a static ip for the wifi (usually wlan0)

sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

use the text only editor nano and add these lines to the end of the file

interface wlan0

static ip_address=192.168.0.1

save and exit nano

restart the dhcpcd daemon

sudo service dhcpcd restart

the dnsmasq.conf has way too much stuff in it as is, so we will back it up and create our own

sudo mv /etc/dnsmasq.conf /etc/dnsmasq.conf.orig

sudo nano /etc/dnsmasq.conf

type the following into the empty file and save

interface=wlan0

dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.0.20,255.255.255.0,24h

save… gives you a range of addresses to assign clients and how long to lease

now set up the access point

sudo nano /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=picomm
hw_mode=g
channel=7
wmm_enabled=0
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=theshowmustgoon
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP

save

Now point the system to this configuration

sudo nano /etc/default/hostapd

find the line with #DAEMON_CONF and replace (may need to uncomment #)

DAEMON_CONF=”/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf”

now start the services

sudo service hostapd start

sudo service dnsmasq start

Should be up and running if not reboot… if still not, go back through and re ck for typos.
