Archived: Feed issues with 19-2

[Guest]

It seems like dump1090 is not correctly running based on your output.

In the latest version 1.0.19-8 there is a diagnostics dump tool integrated.
You can gather a tgz archive of diagnostics data which will enormously help us to debug such issues.

You can download it either by opening URL in browser: http://RECEIVER_IP:8754/diagnostics_dump.tgz or by running: sudo /usr/lib/fr24/dump_diagnostics.sh
Both commands are doing the same thing and you're welcome to check what data is included. The latter command (as run by root) will include slightly more data, including syslog and coredump of the fr24feed process.

It would be very helpful to get this data dump for your receiver.

with the following message "cp: cannot stat '/etc/default/dump1090-mutability': No such file or directory"

Thanks! Your dpkg is in a broken state for some reason. So fr24feed installer can't install dump1090.

You can see this from apt_history.log:

Start-Date: 2018-01-26 12:41:50
Commandline: apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confdef -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold install librtlsdr0 libusb-1.0-0 dirmngr lighttpd wget -y
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
End-Date: 2018-01-26 12:41:51

and "systemctl status fr24feed":

Process: 410 ExecStartPre=/usr/lib/fr24/install_dump1090.sh (code=exited, status=100)

If you try to run "sudo /usr/lib/fr24/install_dump1090.sh" you will likely see the same dpkg error.

Try to solve it by running "sudo dpkg --configure -a", this looks like a system-wide issue, not exactly fr24feed or dump1090 issue.

BOOM! Up and running! Do you need some more info from me? Thanks a lot for investigating.

It would be interesting to understand if it is only your raspberry pi or is it a common problem. Anyone else had similar issue with dirmngr?

@abcd567 - Thank you. Have got dump1090-mut v1.14 installed.

There is obviously something wrong with the config file - Unknown or not enough arguments for option '--net--gain'.

Do I need to put dvbt back to avr-tcp ? or make other changes.

Fr24feed-status is unchanged from my earlier post.

You have left no space between --net and --gain, and it is like one continous word --net--gain.
Please insert a space between --net and --gain.

Also change dvbt back to avr-tcp, as already advised by Khan. I have aske you to change it to dvbt as the install script for dump1090 mutability wont proceed without setting dvbt.

Looks like we have a bunch of users now in stuck stages, potentially after trying to DIY previous fixes or slight OS differences. The latest 2 updates undoing something thay worked and reverting to a different failed state (damn)

Might need to do some BASIC 2 step tests or similar of a known modded and broken one, purge and fresh install via script. If it works out the box then that will be a good route to suggest. No editing and so forth

Else we could be patching people's modded service scripts and permissions forever

True story. Version 1.0.19-8 broke down my configuration and I had to set dump1090:nogroup in fr24feed.service in order to fix it.

Is it possible to turn off the automatic updates for the feeder? I would like to update manually so I can check if everything keeps running.

@davgooner
The dump1090-mutability was not installed. This is often caused if at the time of upgrade from 1.0.18-9 to 1.0.19-xx, the setting of receiver is not dvbt.

Fix it as follows:

Step-1

sudo nano /etc/fr24feed.ini

In settings set receiver="dvbt", if it is set to something else.
Without receiver="dvbt", the installation of dump1090-mutability wont take place

Save file (Ctrl+o) and Close file (Ctrl+x)

Step-2

sudo reboot

At reboot, fr24feed will install dump1090-mutability.

after reboot, check again

apt-cache policy dump1090-mutability
fr24feed-status

If dump1090-mutability is still missing, do this:

cd /usr/lib/fr24/
sudo ./install_dump1090.sh
sudo reboot

Now check again

apt-cache policy dump1090-mutability
fr24feed-status

Step-3
Change setting to receiver="avr-tcp" host="127.0.0.1:30002" if you still face problems

Has anyone had an broken RPi 'fixed' by the software updates alone ie from 1.0.18-9 to 1.0.19-8 ? Without any local human intervention or tinkering ?

[davgooner]

@abcd567

Made the change and dump1090 installed on reboot and is showing as installed. However, fr24feed is still showing as failed even after changing the settings in step 3.

[abcd567]

@ davgooner
Reboot Pi and check after reboot

sudo reboot

fr24feed-status

If rebooting does not fix problem, try this workaround:

sudo wget -O  /etc/udev/rules.d/rtl-sdr.rules "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osmocom/rtl-sdr/master/rtl-sdr.rules"

sudo reboot

fr24feed-status

Hey FR24 Team,
Since the update of version 1.0.19-2 FR24feed didn't receive any signal from airplanes. Made a clean install of the downgraded (at the time 18/01/18) 18-9 and it worked until 20 January 06:00 GMT, when it stopped again because of the new update of 1.0.19-5. I was on a trip and only got back today. It has updated to 1.0.19-8 and it's still not working. When I type fr24feed in Terminal, it shows this error message:

Sat Jan 27 11:43:30 2018 -02 dump1090-mutability v1.14 starting up.
Found 1 device(s):
0: Realtek, RTL2838UHIDIR, SN: 00000001 (currently selected)
usb_claim_interface error -6
Error opening the RTLSDR device: Device or resource busy

Tried to link the diagnostics dump tool but the forum doesn't allow.

If someone could help me, it would be awesome! Thanks in advance!
