dump978-rb Failure Due to Missing SoapySDR [S O L V E D]

[abcd567]

Today on Armbian Buster, I installed rbfeeder and during installation said "yes" when was asked "do you want to install dump978-rb?".

After installation I found dump978-rb has failed to run:

Code: [Select]


$ sudo systemctl stsatus dump978-rb
... ....
... ....
ExecStart=/usr/share/dump978-rb/start-dump978-rb (code=exited, status=2)



Checked by directly starting dump978-rb

Code: [Select]

$ /usr/bin/dump978-rb --sdr driver=rtlsdr,serial=00000401 --sdr-auto-gain --format CS8 --raw-port 30978 --json-port 28380
.... ....
Configuration error: No matching SoapySDR device found (cause:SoapySDR::Device::make() no match)




Solved by installing missing soapysdr package, and then restarting dump978-rb

Code: [Select]

$ sudo apt install soapysdr-module-rtlsdr

$ sudo systemctl restart dump978-rb 


Checked Status, working OK now.

Code: [Select]

$ sudo systemctl status dump978-rb
