Raspian OS on Asus eee

[abcd567]

Glad to know your problem is over.
Sometimes the cause is very simple, but not obvious. We were concentrating too much on reinstall of dump1090, and overlooked the dongle.

Now we know that your symptomps are caused both by missing workaround of Step 7, as well as missing/not listed dongle. Next time if someone faces this, it will be easier to debug. Learning by failures .

finally I've got it, just checked the usb device list, dongle was not in the list. Just changed usb port and now everything is working, thanks for the help! 2018-12-26-225904_1920x1080_scrot.jpg

ok, probably what can I do is to format and reinstall again all the raspian desktop OS, maybe I have done something wrong before asking your help on the forum which is creating problems. But first can you please light me up on the working system of fr24 feeding on raspian? The usb stick antenna takes data from the airplanes, then those data goes into dump1090 which is a decoder, after that everyhing is sent to fr24feed? How do I know if the usb dongle is working properly? Why all those steps? In windows OS everuthing was made by one software...

LATEST:
Did you reboot Ausus eee after Step(7)?
Reboot it now.

I made a fresh install of Raspbian Stretch x86 on my i386 Desktop (through VM), then installed dump1090-mutability,

(1) Did NOT carryout the workaround in step-7 : Exactly same error as you got.

(2) Next I did issue wget command of Step-7, but did NOT reboot: Exactly same error as you got.

(3) Next Rebooted computer: Problem Solved, dump1090-mutability working normally.

You already have dump1090 installed. If you choose "receiver=dvbt", fr24feed will install dump1090-mutability v1.14 over it, and may cause problems and conflicts. The very first thing you have to do is to remove (rather purge) the current installation of dump1090-mutability ver1.15~dev.

By the way do you have a Google Key?. The fr24feeder installs dump1090-mutability version 1.14, which has a google map, and needs Google Key. On the other hand version 1.15~dev has open street map and does NOT require Google Key.

Most likely during current install of dump1090-mutability, some files got corrupted, or some package did not get downloaded, or in Step(2) you missed one or two of the 11 package installation, causing this failure.

It is good idea to reinstall dump1090-mutability. I recommend that you first purge the existing one, and then try again the version 1.15~dev. Take care that you install ALL 11 packages in Step (2).

After completing step(2), give these two commands. These will show which of the packages have been installed, and if some are missing, It will try to install it, and ask your permission [yes/no].

sudo apt-get install git build-essential debhelper rtl-sdr librtlsdr-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev    

sudo apt-get install pkg-config fakeroot curl cron lighttpd

To remove dump1090-mutability fully, use "dpkg --purge" command. Do not use "dpkg --remove" command, as it does NOT remove configuration files.

sudo dpkg --purge dump1090-mutability

sudo rm -rf /usr/share/dump1090-mutability

sudo rm -rf ~/build-dump-mut

No, only upto step (7) is essential for installing dump1090-mutability. Rest of the steps are optional.

All done, as you can see all packages are installed 2018-12-26-214619_1920x1080_scrot.jpg No way, it still doesn't work......How about the google key? I don't have one, where should I use it?

What if I try setting up "dvbt" without using the dump1090?

Can you tell me the procedure to remove the dump1090 actually installed and try to reinstall it again?

sudo dpkg --purge dump1090-mutability

sudo rm -rf /usr/share/dump1090-mutability

sudo rm -rf ~/build-dump-mut

....actually I haven't gone after step 7, do I have to do everything till down the list?

I'm pretty sure I've done the bug fixing procedure at step 7 at first. Anyhow I've done it again but still it doesn't work(unknown version is still shown). What if I try setting up "dvbt" without using the dump1090? Can you tell me the procedure to remove the dump1090 actually installed and try to reinstall it again?....I haven't gone after step 7, I tought the rest was already done or useless...

THe FR24FEED is OK
The problem is clearly with dump1090 as shown by:
(1) Yellow Warning rectangle at bottom of Map.
(2) "unknown version" instead of "v1.15~dev" just below the "Last Update" clock.

Try this:
Clear Browser Cache (Ctrl+Shift+Delete), then Browser Reload (Ctrl+F5)

If above does not work then probably you missed the "BUG FIX" in Step (7). Try it:

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

sudo reboot

Clear Browser Cache (Ctrl+Shift+Delete), then Browser Reload (Ctrl+F5)

This what I get, thanks 2018-12-26-100235_1920x1080_scrot.jpg 2018-12-26-100243_1920x1080_scrot.jpg2018-12-26-174802_1920x1080_scrot.jpg2018-12-26-174832_1920x1080_scrot.jpg

Go to following addresses in web browser of Raspbian on Ausus eee:

localhost:8754/

localhost:8754/settings.html

localhost:8080

localhost/dump1090/gmap.html


What do you see?

[Luwolfu]

ok, thanks for your patience and answers. I've been trying the dump1090 solution, this what I get 2018-12-25-202004_1920x1080_scrot.jpg

back at the first solution, the one with "dvbt" this is the error the status page show me 2018-12-25-202136_1920x1080_scrot.jpg

This shows that you have NOT installed any DECODER (dump1090-mr or dump1090-mutability or dump1090-fa or modeSDeco2 etc).
You have two ways to do that:


METHOD - A

(1) Open file "/etc/fr24feed.ini" for editing

sudo nano /etc/fr24feed.ini

(2) Change
receiver="beast-tcp"
to
receiver="dvbt"

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

(4) Restart fr24feed

sudo systemctl restart fr24feed

Setting receiver=dvbt will cause fr24feeder to install dump1090-mutability.


METHOD - B
Leave the setting at receiver="beast-tcp"
Manually install dump1090-mutability by method given here:

this is the error I get now2018-12-25-150228_1920x1080_scrot.jpg

[abcd567]

Open file fr24feed.ini for editing.

sudo nano /etc/fr24feed.ini

Delete whatever is in this file (except the feeder key, if it is there)
Copy-paste following into the file fr24feed.ini.
replace xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx by your actual feeder key.
Your actual feeder key is saved in fr24 windows feeder's fr24feed.ini file

receiver="beast-tcp"
fr24key="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
host="127.0.0.1:30005"
bs="no"
raw="no"
logmode="0"
windowmode="0"
mpx="no"
mlat="yes"
mlat-without-gps="yes"
use-http=yes

After copy-paste, Save (Ctrl+o) and Close (Ctrl+x)
Then restart fr24feed

sudo systemctl restart fr24feed
