The dump1090-fa is NOT running, or if running, is not producing data, Check status by following command:
sudo systemctl status dump1090-fa
If not running, try reboot
sudo reboot
If reboot does not solve the problem, may be the dongle is the reason. Unplug then replug the dongle.
$ sudo systemctl status dump1090-fa

But, I got planes on the map. So, does this means that dump1090-fa is working ?
Reboot does not solve the problem and the dongle works fine on Ubuntu 18.04.
Perhaps a temporary issue with flightaware server ?
Piaware needs to be able to sudo netstat if i remember correctly.
(somewhat bad design one might say but i shouldn’t judge 
)
Edit: this might solve the issue:
sudo piaware-config receiver-type other
sudo systemctl restart piaware
It is using netstat command as USER=root. There is no error message for this command. Please see piaware log below:
Right … spanish Ubuntu … that’s the issue (one we had before).
receiver-type other might solve that as well because i think it stops checking that then.
I’ve checked on ubuntu 18.04 and I got now the same problem. But, it worked yesterday.
localhost:30005 and 30003 I got blank screen, do not open, on both 18.04 and 20.04.
Thanks!!
Yes. This solves the problem. But, why worked before on 18.04 ?
Thanks!! This solves the problem. But, why worked before on 18.04 ?
Found this Sept 2019 post, for problem related to @vsqz44:
Blank screen and do not open is sth different.
Anyhow … you might just not be receiving anything …
Might have been you with the exact same issue before and we found a work-around?
Just checked the thread abcd linked … you changed the Ubuntu language to fix it the last time around.
I say blank screen because do not open it.
Yes, I remember an issue I had before because of language, but was another issue, not the same.
And, my 18.04 was installed in English and 20.04 in Portuguese.
Anyway, the receiver-type solves the problem. Go figure !
Btw … if you do this in Chrome … it won’t work as the data doesn’t have a valid HTTP response code.
I used Firefox …
Did you do it on the machine the dump1090-fa is running on?
Anyhow is the local webinterface working?
As in … IP of the receiver computer: http://IP/dump1090-fa
