Hello. I just updated to Linux Mint 22 Wilma on my Dell 64bit machine, but I can’t reconnect with my Nooelec NESDR Mini 2+ Al - 0.5PPM TCXO USB RTL-SDR Receiver (RTL2832 + R820T2) . I have completely forgotten how to get everything up and running. I can’t seem to find the place on the forum. I’m sure it’s there. Could someone direct me to the correct page?
This is how far I get on the instructions on the Flightaware Piaware page: Err:12 https://www.flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages wilma Release
404 Not Found [IP: 2606:4700:4400::ac40:9437 443]

I was receiving ADS-B signals with this same computer since early April of this year. I’ve blanked out on what I did and can’t seem to retrace my steps.
Sincerely,

P.S.: On my personal FlightAware page in the Sight Information box the three buttons for PiAware, Flight Aware and MLAT all show red, but when I hover the cursor over red PiAware button I see “PiAware Running PiAware (Debian Package Add-On) 9.0.1 .” I suspect that’s incorrect, but I thought I should report.
No sorry, that can be answered by @abcd567 he’s the maintainer of the repository, it might be that your flavor of OS isn’t supported. The error of the release file not available might indicate that this version isn’t released yet.
@waynetconti
Please first cleanup your repository sources list as suggested by @wiedehopf
The install script fails during updating, which the script does before attempting to build & install packages. You will keep getting this error even when you try to update manually.
Few days ago, on a fresh install of Linux Mint 22 (Wilma), I ran the installation scripts from my Github site ( linked above by @tomvdhorst ), and all packages were built & installed successfully.
Just now I have modified the scripts so that the scripts wont abort installation on error during update. @waynetconti can try these now. Hope he can install piaware, dump1090-fa, dump978-fa and piaware-web packages now.

your repository points to flightaware, you should remove that and point it to the github site of abcd567.
You are trying to install something from FA and not from the abcd567 repository
Remove the Flightaware reposititory with sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ‘http://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages wilma Release’
(1) Please note that the next two commands are very long and may be wrapped by forum into two lines. Copy these in full
(2) Please dont copy $ at start of command. It is put there to indicates start of a new command. Any line NOT starting with $ is actually continuation of the line immediately above it
Although errors were shown during update process, the script did not abort and proceeded to installation steps. Please run the installation script again.
Please see screenshot below.
