Unable to install RB24 on my RPi

[Millsey]

I tried to install RB24 to an existing RPi running Dump1090 which failed. I sent a request for help via the contact page and then to [email protected]. I got an automatic reply on May 1st, but have heard nothing since. If I try to login on the link provided all it says is that my email is already taken ?

Getting a bit confused as to why it is not possible to get an answer or login when I can here ?

I presume that you followed https://www.radarbox24.com/raspberry-pi  and https://www.radarbox24.com/blog/radarbox24-raspberry-pi-client

I will contact support and ask that they contact you as they don't look in here very often

Could I suggest that we keep Raspberry issues to the thread that is running.

Thanks Alan, my ticket number is 8254 btw. Yes I followed instructions, but got this message at the end:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
rbfeeder : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17) but 2.13-38+rpi2+deb7u3 is to be installed
            Depends: librtlsdr0 but it is not installable
            Depends: systemd but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
bash: line 24: systemctl: command not found
bash: line 28: systemctl: command not found

My existing system is still running fine feeding a private VRS web site with data. I didn't post in the RPi3 thread as mine is a RPi2, and being new I guess I should have looked further at the forum first, sorry.

Hi a, my set up keeps going offline after a few minutes and I`ve no idea why. Running a NooElec dongle feeding another site that seems to be working fine, laptop getting tired so want to feed 24/7 via the Raspberry.
Cheers, Dave.

1) Give this command in SSH console:

Code Select Expand

cat /etc/rbfeeder.ini

2) Post output of above command in this thread.
Note: remove you sharing key before you submit the post.

Thanks for the info abcd567, I've just tried your suggestions but got this message after running the first two lines:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo apt-get install -f

Same message after running the install line as I posted earlier
Know you from FR24 Forum I believe ?

When you give cat /etc/rbfeeder.ini command, the contents of file rbfeeder.ini will be displayed. Copy that output from SSH window, and paste in your reply to this thread.

For your guidance, I am posting below the output of the cat /etc/rbfeeder.ini for my RPi. (I have replaced my actual sharing key by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ).

This is the setting which works ok for me, as before installing rbfeeder, I already had some version of dump1090 running for feeding other sites.

Code Select Expand


cat /etc/rbfeeder.ini

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


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

I had dump1090-fa already installed before I installed RB Feeder

Hi again abcd567, I wonder if you noticed I edited my last post with updated information after I tried your suggestion ?

Thanks
