Well, I finally got my setup back running after 3 month or so break(things broken, then had to pack for my move). To get it back up, I used a new image of the raspbian-piaware download on the flightaware site. I’m now wanting to get my stats back up again with mutability. I’m wondering if the released version of 1.14 has the MLAT data passing through it and works with the most recent piaware, or if I’ll have to resort to trying to get the dev version compiled and running on the piaware, and I’ve had issues in the past getting that accomplished.

I did it on Raspbian Jessie, however, it should work on the Piaware image.

The Piaware image is still based on Raspbian Wheezey. This is missing required sdr-rtl libraries which need to be installed manually before the automatic feeder setup scripts can be run. The following should be sufficient:

```auto

~ $ wget https://github.com/mutability/librtlsdr/releases/download/v0.5.4_git-1/librtlsdr0_0.5.4.git-1_armhf.deb
~ $ wget https://github.com/mutability/librtlsdr/releases/download/v0.5.4_git-1/librtlsdr-dev_0.5.4.git-1_armhf.deb
~ $ sudo dpkg -i librtlsdr0_0.5.4.git-1_armhf.deb
~ $ sudo dpkg -i librtlsdr-dev_0.5.4.git-1_armhf.deb

```

If possible, it would be better to start with a new and clean Raspbian Jessie installation. The scripts will take care of everything else. Actually, there is also an ADS B Receiver image available which makes things even easier. See here:  
[https://github.com/jprochazka/adsb-receiver/wiki/Using-the-ADS-B-Receiver-Image](https://github.com/jprochazka/adsb-receiver/wiki/Using-the-ADS-B-Receiver-Image)

Ran those commands then tried to run the installer again, and no luck on getting it to work.

“No luck” is a fairly vague statement. Would you let us know exactly what you tried, what messages you saw and what does not work?

Ok I finally figured out part of the problem… had to get the rtl-sdr\_0.5.4.git-1\_armhf.deb package as well.

Now while it’s trying to install dump1090-mut it gets through a decent amount of it, but is still failing here’s the snippet nearest where it appears to be failing:

Thank you very much, that was very helpful! The problem is that the script tests for package rtl-sdr but cannot find it. I’m actually not sure if the rtl-sdr package is really required. Would you do a test and try to install dump1090-mutability manually using these steps here:  
[post177419.html#p177419](http://discussions.flightaware.com/post177419.html#p177419)

If you get dump1090-mutability working this way, the return to JP’s script. It should detect that dump1090-mutability is installed and you can then install the portal with the graphs.

EDIT: Just saw your update. Try the manual dump1090-mutability method. If that does not work then you may be better off with a fresh Jessie install or JP’s image.

When doing the manual compile, I get the same issue:

Have a look here, it seems to have the same error:

Note obj’s advice:

> You need to remove the unmanaged copies of librtlsdr in /usr/local/lib on the build machine, the debian packaging system is trying to work out the dependencies it should add for a binary that links to the copies in /usr/local/lib and failing because those copies were not installed from a package.

> Note that you don’t have to build the dump1090-mutability package on the machine that you’re going to install on - you can build elsewhere (so long as it’s basically the same sort of system) and copy the resulting .deb over.

Ok, then the next part is, how do I find the duplicates, and then remove them? I might have just figured out how to list the packages… with “dpkg-query -l ‘_rtl_’” and that returns

```auto

ii librtlsdr-dev 0.5.4~git-1 armhf Software defined radio receiver fo
ii librtlsdr0:arm 0.5.4~git-1 armhf Software defined radio receiver fo
un python-importl <none> (no description available)
ii rtl-sdr 0.5.4~git-1 armhf Software defined radio receiver fo

```

Do I remove the second one, and how?

Sorry slookabill, I have no idea here; I was only quoting obj. You could check in /usr/local/lib/ to see if any of these files are there and remove them from there if present.

You’ve got duplicates because your installing over the FA image. Just start with a fresh OS image (stock, not FA) and use the scripts provided.

The Readme document ([https://github.com/jprochazka/adsb-receiver](https://github.com/jprochazka/adsb-receiver)) was updated to exclude support for PiAware Image-based installations. You should start with a clean Jessie-based installation or else use the image:

Well… then one more question, does that image, or another image similar to it, better support a hidden wireless network? I still haven’t gotten my setup to work correctly with my wi-fi network when it’s hidden

Jessie is a later version of Raspbian so should provide better support.  
Having a “hidden wireless network” provides no security. Any competent scanner would find it.  
It just makes people feel safer, when they are not.

The Jessie image deliberately doesn’t have a GUI, so you’ll have to install wicd-curses to setup wifi.

I haven’t tested it because I don’t have a hidden wireless network - but wicd-curses does have the \*\*\*option \*\*\*to connect to a hidden network.

```auto

sudo apt-get install wicd-curses

```

you may have to uninstall a conflicting DHCP package.

```auto

sudo apt-get remove dhcpcd5

```

then just run wicd-curses to setup your wifi.

```auto

sudo dhcp-curses

```

setup is fairly self explanatory, but more info can be had here:
