  • Problem upgrading to version 1.0.34-0

    SOLVED
    I was able to update using abcd567 ’s fine instructions here:
    https://github.com/abcd567a/fr24feed...n-ubuntu-amd64

    I'm currently running version 1.0.25-3 on Ubuntu (Linux Mint). When I run the commands sent to me in an email from FlightRadar24 (sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/fr24/fr24feed_updater.sh
    sudo /usr/lib/fr24/fr24feed_updater.sh) I get the response that I'm running the latest version. Same if I run 'sudo apt-get install fr24feed'. Is there another way I can upgrade?

    Kernel: 5.4.0-136-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.4.0 Console: tty 0
    Distro: Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal

    The FR24's Raspberry Pi feeder installation script does following:
    (1) First adds the fr24 repository to the RPi's /etc/apt/sources.list,
    (2) Next issues command "sudo apt update" to update repository list,
    (3) Finally issues command "sudo apt install fr24feed", which installs the latest version available in FR24 repository.
    ​​​
    The FR24's x86_64 and i386 packages are NOT available from FR24's apt repository. Therefore you cannot install or upgrade these using install script for RPI, or manually by methods applicable for RPi (i.e. using commands "sudo apt install fr24feed" and "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade fr24feed").

    Instead you have to download the latest x86_64 or i386 package from FR24 server using command "wget [url of package]", then install it over the old version using command "sudo dpkg -i [package name].

    Currently latest version commands are:

    AMD64 /x86_64
    Code:
    wget https://repo-feed.flightradar24.com/linux_x86_64_binaries/fr24feed_1.0.34-0_amd64.deb  
    
    sudo dpkg -i  fr24feed_1.0.34-0_amd64.deb


    i386
    Code:
    wget https://repo-feed.flightradar24.com/linux_x86_binaries/fr24feed_1.0.34-0_i386.deb  
    
    sudo dpkg -i fr24feed_1.0.34-0_i386.deb

        Yes I know that, but this detail I posted for 2 reasons:

        (1) To explain why method of install and upgrade on RPi are NOT applicable to installs on Linux PC and Laptops.

        (2) To make commands for Linux box (PC, Laptop, Thin Client etc) readily available for all users who are facing difficulty in upgrading, and aporoach this forum for help. The FR24 support in email did NOT provide full commands to downliad and install. Instead they gave the URL of the latest version's x86_64 package. This left most users confused.

          Yup. And i sat back thinking If only the community was engaged first like promised a few times now for feedback to point this stuff out

          And any extra loss of feeders or additional work is almost deserved as a result.

            I didn't know that until I googled yesterday how to upgrade FR24 and found your github page. Thanks!
