Yes please rerun the install, that way you also get the most current feed client:

That is super helpful. Thanks a lot
If it didn’t run the restart commands would they have been automatically restarted anyway when I rebooted my Pi next?
Thanks for the advice. I only installed it a few days ago so its probably current
I have deployed the 7.0 super easy with @abcd567 scripts. In the past I had to re-compile by hand, avoid various pitfals… this was very nice!
Only difference on my system was that I had to release the update for tls. I had held back the updates back manually in previous piaware version. Now it’s all good.
Thank you for your feedback.
I understand you are referring to installation of pre-built packages of piaware and dump1090-fa 7.0 on UBUNTU 20 AMD64. Am I right?
That’s correct. Those were the prebuilt 7.0 packages on Ubuntu 20 AMD64 platform.
Worked flawlessly on both Armbian and Rasberry Pi Bullseye OS’es.
No need to input the feeder key when upgrading from 6.1
Also, some packages can be removed after the upgrade to 7.0, maybe add sudo apt autoremove to the list of instructions to keep the system clean and tidy ?
Thank you.
Your observations/recommendations are good, but I want to keep instructions in How-To a bare minimum, simple, and uniform for fresh install & upgrade.
In case of fresh install, feeder-id command is a must. In case of upgrade it is not required, but if issued, it does not do any harm. It simply outputs “feeder-id unchanged”.
The command sudo apt autoremove is useful, but this instruction is displayed by apt after installation of package is done, so it is not necessary to include it in the installation How-to.

When I woke up today my feeder was down and I cant work out how to revive it. When I go to the IP of the Pi it shows 1090 radio and MLAT are down, but PiAware and FlightAware are still active. I tried running the install scripts linked from this thread again but it didnt help. Should I uninstall dump1090-fa and reinstall it? What else could help?
what is the output of following command?
journalctl -u dump1090-fa -e

The dongle is in use by some other program.
Possibly due to wrong settings of FR24 or RB24. Which other feeders have you installed on this Pi?
All of them. FR24, ADSBx, RB24, PF, and attempted PP but hit a wall and didnt get back to it yet.
In an effort eliminate possible causes I finished setting up MLAT on RB24, and I’ve just now completed installing PP but it had an error so Im not sure if it worked completely.
I also just unistalled dump1090-fa, purged, and reinstalled as you wrote in another post in the forum… Didnt seem to help. What to do?
Also, is it normal that such a clash between competing feeders would just appear in the middle of the night after several days of perfect feeding to FA, FR24 and ADSBx?
PiAware status page still says not connected to a Mode S reciever
Give following commands, and post output of last command
sudo apt install rtl-sdr
sudo systemctl stop piaware dump1090-fa
rtl_test -t
Ok, thankyou!

In case it helps, the feeder log says there is no ADSB program listening on port 3005… seems to check every minute
