Help please!

[Wiggi001]

I have FR24 and TAR1090 working fine after rebuilding my RasperryPi4. I have reinstalled
RB24 and attempted to reclaim my old key but my station will not go back online.
Please see the attached screen shot.

I would suggest that you should obtain a new key for a new installation

Please do following:
(1) Reboot RPi
(2) After reboot, give following command and post the output (copy-paste from PuTTY to the post):

journalctl -b -u rbfeeder 

[Wiggi001]

[client]
network_mode=True
log_file=/var/log/rbfeeder.log

key=hidden by me

[network]
mode=Beast
external_port=30005
external_host=127.0.0.1

[mlat]
autostart_mlat=true
#mlat_cmd=/usr/bin/python3.5 /usr/bin/mlat-client

[dump978]
#dump978_enabled=false

[Wiggi001]

please see text doc attached

[abcd567]

The rightmost part (which is the most important part) of output of command journalctl -b -u rbfeeder is trunkated because of small width of putty window. Please increase the width as much as you can, tthen give above command.

This time give followind command to limit number of lines too last 20. Dont forget to increase width of putty as much as you can BEFORE issuing the command.

journalctl -e -u rbfeeder.

I think I now found the bug.

With the "putty at full width" log you have posted now, I see following:

Mar 11 17:22:30 raspberrypi rbfeeder[743]: [2021-03-11 17:22:30]  Network-mode disabled. Using local dongle.

Also in your file /etc/rbfeeder.ini I see following:

[client]
network_mode=True

The cause of failure is that you have written "true" with capital letter T instead of small letter "t".

To fix it do following:

Code Select Expand


sudo nano /etc/rbfeeder.ini


In "True", change "T" by "t" like below,

[client]
network_mode=true

Save file (Ctrl+O) and close it (Ctrl+X)

Restart rbfeeder, and then check status

Code Select Expand


sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder 

sudo systemctl status rbfeeder


.

[Wiggi001]

[client]
network_mode=true
log_file=/var/log/rbfeeder.log

key======================

[network]
mode=raw
external_port=30005
external_host=127.0.0.1

[mlat]
autostart_mlat=true
#mlat_cmd=/usr/bin/python3.5 /usr/bin/mlat-client

[dump978]
#dump978_enabled=true

Should have said still not working!

Thanks for the assistance.

Seems you checked status too early. When you checked status, It has just connection to RB24 server and not yet started sending data
Check again now

Code Select Expand


sudo systemctl status rbfeeder 


[abcd567]

You log shows all is ok, and your rbfeeder has connected to ANRB software on Windows. Please see last two entries of your log below.

The rbfeeder will also connect to RB24 Server if you would have waited few minutes before checking the status.

Which version of dump1090 you have installed? With network_mode= true you wiil have to install dump1090 to provide data to rbfeeder.

Your status command output
