Many thanks for the update, I shall try the upgrade again and make the changes suggested.

Hello Ali,

I've added a post for you a few days ago but it seems to be lost...

I solved this problem by addind those lines :

# dump1090
blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
blacklist rtl2832
blacklist rtl2832_sdr


at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf + reboot.

The rtl_sdr modules seems to be included in the kernel with Ubuntu 15.10, and conflict with those included in the fr24feed.deb package.

Hello,

Same problem for me.
It's due to modules compilation option.
Can be solved by adding kernel modules rll* to the balcklist :

jmr@jmr-Ubuntu:/etc/modprobe.d$ more blacklist.conf
# This file lists those modules which we don't want to be loaded by
# alias expansion, usually so some other driver will be loaded for the
# device instead.
...
...
# dump1090
blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
blacklist rtl2832
blacklist rtl2832_sdr

It's also possible to create a specific .conf file with those 4 blue lines.

Regards.

Well I couldn't make head or tail of what's going on, it was definitely the upgrade so I cut my losses and reverted to the earlier version - all working nicely again.

I (rightly or wrongly) upgraded my system to Ubuntu 15.10 from 15.04 yesterday and since then my feed has been offline. I emailed support and they state that there is no change on their side so it must be the upgrade. The feed was working beforehand and support have confirmed it.

Has anyone else had this issue and if so, what did you do to fix it?
