New Raspberry Pi available - Pi 4

Never even tried. IF it were my OS it would not enabled the service without changing the password. (That’s what I get for being in IT for 30 years. Assuming security when none exists.)
At any rate the popup demanding the password change was the immediate thing I was working around. Removed the SSH file (after reimaging because I couldn’t find the SSH file to delete) and booted to GUI. I just got there a little off the straight line. It all worked in the end.

The file enables the ssh server and is removed.

No matter it’s working now.

well for Desktop/Laptop machines, what you said is true. Everyone stores some sensetive info in these machines and security is important.

However for RPi situation is not that critical, and that is why first login with default password is allowed (with a advisory note to change default password). By the way most of Pi users ignore this warning and continue using default password. The reason is one cant easily forget the default password, and if one does, he just asks in forum or Google, and readily gets it.

Quoted below is my old post on RPi’s security issue :slight_smile:
Nothing serious, just a joke :wink:

This thread got derailed from the Raspberry Pi 4.
Back to it - I know that Pi 4 requires Buster and that some Debian libraries are not yet available for it. I have tried Buster on my Orange Pi and I wasn’t able to install PiAware on it, luckily it has also available a mature Stretch.

Is anyone running Pi 4 now with PiAware successfully?

Yes , since 12 july :slight_smile:

Out of the box, ie a plain vanilla download of Buster with a new, out of the box Pi4, or are there tweaks to do and hoops to jump through?

The USB problem has been resolved, but hasn’t made it to the main release yet as far as I’m aware. You need to use rpi-update to get the dev release kernel.

I have been running Buster on a Pi3 after upgrading for several weeks now with no ongoing issues. I had to manually install the mlat-client for rbfeeder but everything else worked ok. I’ve not tried a clean installation.

Thanks. I will wait until it’s part of the main release and there’s confirmation that it’s working well with both RTL-SDRs and an Airspy before I even consider upgrading my main feeder.

You can check when the kernel updates are released here: Commits · Hexxeh/rpi-firmware · GitHub

Current kernel version was released 20 days ago, and the fix was merged after that, so it should be in the next release. Kernel versions after 4.19.58 have the fix.

I’m add kernel 4.19.58-v7l+…wait…

just updated to

4.19.64-v7l+ :sunglasses:

Which model of OrangePi you have? Mine is OrangePi PC.

About a month ago, I have successfully done package install of piaware 3.7.1 and dump1090-fa 3.7.1 on my OrangePi PC with following Armbian Buster distro:

Armbian_5.90_Orangepipc_Debian_buster_next_4.19.57.img

Maybe time to start a new Topic "OrangePi " :upside_down_face:

Tried rpi-update on RPi Model 2 :slight_smile: just out of curiosity, then at the end at “proceed? (y/N)” typed N due to fear that it may do something bad to Pi 2 (as it is meant for Pi 4).

The new kernel is equally meant for old generations and will be what you update to eventually.

The parts of the kernel specific to the RPi2 will very likely not change at all.

OK, I will go ahead.
If something goes wrong, I have following friends to rescue me:

  • Win32DiskImager / Etcher + 2019-07-10-raspbian-buster-lite.img

  • sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abcd567a/piaware/master/piaware-on-raspbian.sh)"

(Above script will install dump1090-fa and piaware)

ALL SEEMS OK

Just got my Airspy mini today and I can confirm that it runs Piaware smoothly on a RPi4.

@abcd567: any idea if MM2 will run on RPi’s 4 Buster?

Why shouldn’t it?
Have you tried?

It runs on Buster on my Pi 2. As wiedehopf said, there is no reason why it should not run on Pi4.

Just issue this command and it will do everything for you. Only thing you will need to do is to edit file ~/mm2/mm2.sh and replace xxxx and yyyy by your actual latitude & longitude, save file, then Reboot Pi.

sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abcd567a/mm2/master/install-mm2.sh)"
