Packet parsing error; Error sending KISS message to client application on pseudo terminal.

[devnulling]

There seems to be an issue with some packets (or special characters), that causes this error/overflow below.

This is running with current head of master of direwolf with the following params on Ubuntu 18.

direwolf -t 0 -p -l logs/

Error sending KISS message to client application on pseudo terminal.  fd=9, len=69, write returned 61, errno = 2

pt write: No such file or directory

After this error is thrown, the terminal will output this after every packet:

KISS SEND - Discarding message because no one is listening.
This happens when you use the -p option and don't read from the pseudo terminal.

Below are two example packets that have caused this error:

Your issue here isn't really a bug (at the moment) so please create a new email thread on the Direwolf groups.io list and we can continue troubleshooting the issue there.

Regardless, since you're using the "-p" option, I assume you're using a Linux based system. What hardware, Linux distro and kernel version are you using? In addition to that, please rerun your tests with the new Direwolf "develop" branch as it has major updates, improvements, etc. If you still see the issue, once the system faults, can you confirm that your AX25 interface is still kissattach is still running (I doubt) it.

Setup:

• Baofeng HT
• SignaLink USB
• ubuntu 18.04
• kernel 5.0.0

I've updated to the dev branch and will follow up with more details if I run into it on this branch.

Thanks!

Nothing related to this has been changed for a very long time.
Why are you using the "-p" option? Is it really needed? What application is reading from the pseudo terminal?
