I am trying to get familiar with the Alfred tools and downloaded version 2016.1. Unfortunately it didn't work - I couldn't get past a bind error:
root@sierra1:~# ./alfred -m -i bat0 can't bind: Cannot assign requested address Failed to open interfaces
I had setup batman-adv with the commands:
batctl if add eth0 ip link set up bat0 (eth0 was already up)
I rolled back to 2015.0 (per a hint at http://wiki.pinneberg.freifunk.net/alfred) and alfred started up just fine instead of giving the error. However it periodically gives the following message:
announce master ... Error during sent: Cannot assign requested address
I also tried alfred -m -i eth0 with the same results.
Is there something wrong in my configuration? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've read through the Wiki for both batman-adv and alfred and am out of ideas.
I'm trying to prove this setup and get familiar with it in a virtual environment, so I am using VirtualBox to setup a network of 4 nodes in my mesh. Should be simple enough, and batman-adv seems to work just great - once its up and running, all nodes can communicate one with another as expected. Only issue is I am trying to get alfred to work with batadv-vis to give me a graph to tell me it really is working right.
Thoughts? Thanks! Jon
