Radarbox connected for 3 days, then disconnected AGAIN

[Av8tor_from_Argentina]

Good morning. I had an issue since my last reboot/reinstall of all flight trackers software installed in my Rpi.

I have working and feeding Flightradar24, Flightaware and Planefinder. All of them work perfectly, the only one who refuses to work is RadarBox24

Suddenly a week ago, I´ve received an email stating that My account is back online again.. CHecked and was true.. ONLY FOR 3 days.. today my RadarBox24 is down... and is really annoying because it wasn´t working, and as started to work by herself, stopped by herself...

Anyone knows or "suffered" the same glitch, ghost, whatever you name it ??

Your rbfeeder config settings are OK..
Maybe some other files of rbfeeder got broken/corrupted during install. Try purging current install, then update, then make a fresh install

Code Select Expand


sudo apt purge rbfeeder   

sudo apt update 

sudo apt install rbfeeder

Something is not right at the end of the file...

Seems the package rbfeeder is broken

Try this

Code Select Expand


sudo apt --fix-broken install   

sudo reboot   



If above fails to fix the issue, try this command

Code Select Expand


sudo dpkg --configure -a

Model Raspberry Pi 3b+
OS : "Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"


None of the procedures above could fix the issue. I have a doubt. When I execute sudo apt install rbfeeder    rbfeeder dont ask for initial parameters. Is there any way to ERASE DELETE VAPORIZE all RBFEEDER and make a clean installation ??

Regards

[Av8tor_from_Argentina]

Just a simple question. I´ve realized that station key and Station name weren´t asociated, so I´ve edited the Station Name in the rbfeeder.ini file, to match it with the original station key.

Maybe there is another way to do that.

Waiting for answers...

OK Try this

(1) Give following commands

Code Select Expand


sudo systemctl stop rbfeeder 

sudo dpkg --purge rbfeeder   

sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - http://apt.rb24.com/inst_rbfeeder.sh)"   

# NOTE: In command below, replace xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx by your actual key

sudo rbfeeder --setkey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx




(2) Press Ctrl+C to break-out


(3) Stop then restart rbfeeder

Code Select Expand


sudo systemctl stop rbfeeder 

sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder   




(4) Check status

Code Select Expand


sudo systemctl status rbfeeder   



If above fails, then locate the rbfeeder package by following command

Code Select Expand



sudo find / -name rbfeeder*.deb     


The above command will output location of rbfeeder package.  In my Pi it shows like this:
                       /var/cache/apt/archives/rbfeeder_1%3a1.0.8+deb11_armhf.deb

Please post output. This package will need to be deleted, then installation script run

Code Select Expand


sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/rbfeeder_1%3a1.0.8+deb11_armhf.deb   

sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - http://apt.rb24.com/inst_rbfeeder.sh)"

How could you put those codes lines in green background ?

Oh, I think I found the culprit.
The first two lines of output show that you have two versions of rbfeeder (1.0.7 & 1.0.8) saved in apt cache. Either one or both versions are corrupt, OR presence of two versions is causing conflict.

Let us get rid of all old stuff first

Code Select Expand


sudo systemctl stop rbfeeder 

sudo apt purge rbfeeder   

sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/rbfeeder_1%3a1.0.7_armhf.deb 

sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/rbfeeder_1%3a1.0.8+deb11_armhf.deb 

sudo reboot 



After reboot, check that both versions are removed from apt cache by following command. If both are removed, the output of this command wont show them

Code Select Expand


sudo find / -name rbfeeder*.deb     



If apt cache is clear of rbfeeder, run the installation script

Code Select Expand


sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - http://apt.rb24.com/inst_rbfeeder.sh)"   

## NOTE: In command below, replace xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx by your actual key
sudo rbfeeder --setkey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

## Output will show your key has been accepted
## Press Ctrl & C keys to break out

sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder   




Now check status 

Code Select Expand


sudo systemctl status rbfeeder

Good morning, after executind the command given below.....

Code Select Expand


sudo find / -name rbfeeder*.deb     



this is the output...

ATTACHED FILE because for some unknown reason to me system keeps telling CleanTalk: *** Forbidden. Please enable JavaScript. Contains contacts. *** enable javascript in 3 different browsers, and cannot copy/paste results here...

That message from sudo find / -name rbfeeder*.deb, means that something cannot be deleted?

revvin´up... damn...

Great!
This is exactly the message I wanted to see.
It confirms that both versions of rbfeeder have been removed, as they are no more listed in the output. Never mind the line with "Permossion denied". It is always there.

As the apt cacbe has been cleaned now, go ahead to next step and run the installation script

Code Select Expand


sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - http://apt.rb24.com/inst_rbfeeder.sh)"   



When above command finishes installation, add your key by following command
(In command below, replace xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx by your actual key)

Code Select Expand


sudo rbfeeder --setkey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



Output of above command will show your key has been accepted

Press Ctrl & C keys to break out

Now restart rbfeeder

Code Select Expand


sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder   



Now check status 

Code Select Expand


sudo systemctl status rbfeeder

there are a couple of "failed to rename..."

What is annoying is that the other 3 feeders work like a charm...
