There are numerous threads here about all sorts of configs, it is very confusing to read as a non-regular user of FR24.
Last year I just had a raspberry pi lying arond doing nothing, and so I bought the usb dongle, and set it up, it has worked nicely for quite a while.
Or, at least I thought so, because some ninkapoo 'upgraded' the software, and everything went dark.
The least you can expect is that the software works in the most basic setup, no extra frills, features or anything, and almost no direct access to it, it just feeds the FR24 site.
I got it quick fixed yesterday, the faulty software was at 1.0.19-2, by reimaging it to 1.0.18... and I was happy.
This morning I oddly went it to look at it again (I never do that), and it was now upgraded to 1.0.19-5, and AGAIN it didn't work.
Come on, how can you build an update package that doesn't work in the most basic form, on a clean install??? :mad:
So digging in to it, it seems that the problem is the dump1090 package, I read through most of the posts, and read a lot of 'definite solutions', that seemed to be a lot of work, and with a lot of extra's in it, I don't need that.
So now I've followed the advice in dump1090-issues-in-latest-feeder-package
It got it updated to 1.0.19-5, but still didn't work after that.
The dump1090 wasn't installed.
So I executed the lines from a bit further up in the thread that was highlighted in red.
That got it installed, and it started working immediately.
Now I have to spend my time observing that it works, sigh, why? :confused:
One good thing came of all this, I found the /dump1090 page, never knew that was there. Pretty fancy watching the neighboorhood airplanes as seen by you own receiver (though i haven't gotten it to know where I am, as of yet :) ).
P.S. Sorry about no links to the articles, I've been on a lot of forums, but never experienced one that was this restricted, stupid.
