STEP-BY-STEP METHOD
STEP-1
Code:
wget https://opensky-network.org/files/firmware/opensky-feeder_latest_i386.deb sudo dpkg --install opensky-feeder_latest_i386.deb
You should sign-up with opensky-network.org and obtain a user name before starting installation.
If at any srtage you want to make changes to settings, give foillowing command and enter new values.
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure opensky-feeder
STEP-2
Although MX-Linux is shipped with both systemd and sysvinit, by default systemd is disabled. The developers of MX-Linux recommend to keep systemd disabled, and use sysvinit.
Dump1090-mutability, FR24Feeder, Plane Finder Feeder, and FlightAware Feeder detect that systemd has been disabled, and install startup files in /etc/init.d folder for sysvinit. Unfortunately Opensky network feeder does not install the init file needed by sysvinit. It installs only .service files for systemd. As a result, Opensky feeder does not start at boot, and cannot be started manually as well by command "sudo service opensky start". This situation can be overcome either by enabling systemd OR manually creating init file.
The systemd can be enabled at boot when Grub is displayed. Choose advanced boot option, and in that option enable systemd.
Since the MX-Linux team recommends NOT to enable systemd and instead use sysvinit, I did NOT enable systemd. Instead I created
an init file inside folder /etc/init.d. The details are as follows:
Code:
#Create a blank file in folder /etc/init.d sudo touch /etc/init.d/opensky #Make this new file Executeable sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/opensky #Open new blank file in nano to edit it sudo nano /etc/init.d/opensky
