Problems with the Flightstick, you think?

Thank you, abcd567. That is very helpful!

Here are the outputs of apt-cache policy dump978-rb and apt-cache policy dump978-fa:

[email protected]:~ $ apt-cache policy dump978-rb
dump978-rb:
  Installed: 1.0.2+deb11
  Candidate: 1.0.2+deb11
  Version table:

[email protected]:~ $ apt-cache policy dump978-fa
N: Unable to locate package dump978-fa

I'm presuming that dump978-rb is installed and needs to be removed? Would you please guide me on how that needs to be done?

Indeed it is installed.
Look at following output lines of command "apt-cache policy dump978-rb":

dump978-rb:
  Installed: 1.0.2+deb11

To completely remove dump978-rb and all its configuration, use command below:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt purge dump978-rb 

sudo reboot

After you uninstall  dump978-rb (by purge command), and reboot your Pi, above warning in status output of rbfeeder will disappear.

If this warning is stubborn and does not disappear, edit file /etc/rbfeeder.ini.

In line under [dump978], do following:
(1) Delete # at start of line
(2) change true to false

[dump978]
#dump978_enabled=true

It will become like this:

[dump978]
dump978_enabled=false

Save file

Restart rbfeeder

Code: [Select]

sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder

I am glad that I was able to solve your problem.

Map does not shows any flights. May be it is late night hour you dont have any flights in your area at this time. Check again after few hours when flights are there.

And, the output of IP-of-Pi/dump1090/gmap.html:

A map of Europe opens up (I'm located in southern India)
Error message: "Problem fetching data from dump1090.
AJAX call failed (error: Not Found). Maybe dump1090 is no longer running?
The displayed map data will be out of date."

Drag the dump1090-mutability map to your location in India. Do you see any planes on Map and in Table on right side? If not, and you still see yellow warning rectangle "AJAX call failed", reboot Pi and check dump1090-mutability Map again. Do you see plane? If not, and AJAX warning is still there, then post output of following commands

Code: [Select]

cat /etc/default/dump1090-mutability | grep START_DUMP1090 


Code: [Select]

sudo systemctl status dump1090-mutability   


Code: [Select]

sudo journalctl -u dump1090-mutability -n 20

Hello!

I was hoping that we'd see the end of this problem. However, I'm back to where I've started off. I waited for a day to see if things would set themselves right after all the tinkering we did, but, it hasn't :(

The station continues to be online. However, no data is being sent!

Attached is the map (ip-of-pi/dump1099/gmap.html) you should see, if dump1099-mutability is working ok. There will be aircraft on map, and list of aircrft in table at right of map

On map (ip-of-pi/dump1090/gmap.html), do you still see yellow warning rectangle "AJAX call failed"?

If yes, then reboot Pi and check dump1090-mutability Map again. Do you see planes? If not, and AJAX warning is still there, then post output of following commands

Code: [Select]

cat /etc/default/dump1090-mutability | grep START_DUMP1090


Code: [Select]

sudo systemctl status dump1090-mutability   


Code: [Select]

sudo journalctl -u dump1090-mutability -n 20   


[rakeshvanamali]

Yes, I see the yellow warning rectangle "AJAX call failed"

I did reboot the Pi. But, nothing has changed. I do not see any planes.

Please see the text message with the outputs

Do you suggest I format the SD card and do a fresh install?

[rakeshvanamali]

I think I may have found the problem

I did sudo systemctl stop rbfeeder dump978-rb dump978-fa dump10  and it still shows "no supported devices found"

Could this be it?

But, this is strange, I've tried two different sticks so far, both of which work just fine with other feeders
