I have downloaded the files and installed both squawkgear and sb747 as noted above. I followed the instructions on the squawkgear.wordpress site for copying the various xml and other files to their proper places. I have not done any of the tweaking suggested throughout this thread so, thus far, this is a "vanilla" install according to the instruction on the squawkgear.wordpress site.
When I run squawkgear (in Ubuntu) I get this:
- Code: Select all
SquawkGear is listening on port 1863
SquawkGear is ready. Start FlightGear and SB747 now.
I then run sb747 (Windows virtual machine) and I get this:
- Code: Select all
Failed to connect to Broker: couldn't open socket: connection refused
Looking for Broker on 127.0.0.1:1863
Btw, when I first ran sb747 the IP was set to "localhost" and I got the same "couldn't open socket" message so I changed the setup to "127.0.0.1" instead but, as you can see, that didn't work either.
So then I try running FlightGear (1.9.1) under Ubuntu with squawkgear still running on Ubuntu in the background and sb747 not running in Windows on the virtual machine. Here's the command line I'm using:
- Code: Select all
fgfs --fg-root=/usr/share/games/FlightGear --fg-scenery=/usr/share/games/FG_Scenery --aircraft=MD-81 --airport=EDDF --generic=socket,out,1,localhost,port,tcp,squawk --telnet=5900
FlightGear gets part way through loading and then segfaults with the following error message:
- Code: Select all
Audio initialization failed!
There was an error opening the ALC device
Oops AL error after audio initialization!
Error: connect() failed in make_client_socket()
SG_IO_OUT socket creation failed
Error opening channel communication layer.
I/O Channel config failed.
Segmentation fault
Btw, in Ubuntu I have opened the firewall for port 1863 for both udp and tcp in both directions. In Windows, I have granted permission for sb747 to access the Internet in Windows Firewall.
So, what am I missing here? Any help provided will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Chris
P.S. Btw, VATSpy does work running on Windows 7 in the virtual machine, in case that provides a bit of a clue?
