[BUG] FR24feed 1.0.24-7 - Config Save Changes issue

[Oblivian]

It is becoming apparent that the latest version does not allow changes to be saved within the config web-page on some setups (Stretch upgraded, Buster - Pi24 appears un-effected at this time unless updated)

To make changes to this version (until fixed) you will need to edit the config file manually

sudo nano /etc/fr24feed.ini

Thanks Oblivian for creating this thread.

This is how I did it:
(1) Opened file fr24feed.ini for editing

sudo nano /etc/fr24feed.ini

(2) After editing: Saved (Ctrl + o) and Closed file (Ctrl + x)

(3) Finally restarted fr24feed

sudo systemctl restart fr24feed

Contents of file fr24feed.ini
(Replaced xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx by actual fr24 key)

Potentially another change in permissions. Or failure of the build in web portal

Would need to compare the install script to see if there are any chmod/user adjustments from previous

Potentially another change in permissions.

No, I dont think so. Tried both the following commands on 24feed ver 1.0.24-7, but no success

sudo mount -o remount,rw /

sudo chmod 666 /etc/fr24feed.ini

Or failure of the build in web portal

This is most likely cause.

.

Later Addition:
I will try this command also when back home:

sudo chown fr24:fr24 /etc/fr24feed.ini

[Oblivian]

-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 198 Jul 8 2019 fr24feed.ini

And so are all the directories and associated files installed. Seems the fr24 user that was once used may have been zapped and or had access revoked in favour of default system account?

Install script:
# Run the signup wizard
if [ $AUTO_SIGNUP -eq 0 ]; then
fr24feed --signup
chmod a+rw /etc/fr24feed.ini

Though that doesn't run when you apt-get update I wouldn't think

And my install log doesn't reflect changes made yesterday

Looking at processes, fr24feed is run as fr24..

Has any new update been issued to resolve this?

How can we know that an update has been issued? (not related to such cases only)

Does the fr24 feeding software update automatically? Or I need to restart my PI to make update?

Thanks a lot.

If update has been left on. It will

sudo apt policy fr24feed
fr24feed:
Installed: 1.0.24-7
Candidate: 1.0.24-8

[lodervsm]

sudo apt policy fr24feed
fr24feed:
Installed: 1.0.24-7
Candidate: 1.0.24-7

[Oblivian]

You need to
sudo apt-get update

first

And then sudo apt-get install fr24feed

[lodervsm]

This is what I am getting

[abcd567]

Try this:

cd ~/  

wget https://repo-feed.flightradar24.com/rpi_binaries/fr24feed_1.0.24-8_armhf.deb  

sudo dpkg -i fr24feed_1.0.24-8_armhf.deb  

sudo systemctl restart fr24feed

Thanks for your help... Updated

Anyone know what the change was in 1.0.24-7? As usual the changelog doesn't mention it...
