sudo systemctl unmask piaware-console-status

did the lines in sequence. First line seemed to work. Second line returned

Failed to restart piaware-console-status: Unit piaware-console-status.service not found.

I didnt run the 3rd line as it seems silly to try it when line 2 failed.

I have not had the same experience. I sucessfully updated both my 978 & 1090 receivers to 8.2, and one Skyaware page says 8.2, but doesn’t show the box around the altitudes.
And the Skyaware page that (for some reason) still says 7.2 does have the box around the altitude icons.
Should I go buy a lotto ticket?!?

FYI
Went to web page my ADSB and did the upgrade How ever SkyAware page still said 7.2. I did CTL F5 many times but nothing.

Went to Command line and did APT-GET Update and Upgrade and it worked fine.

It can show Skyaware 8.2 but still not display the new page if you haven’t emptied the browser cache.

Thanks Jim. I’ll get on it.

After a reboot, both of my Skyaware pages say 8.2.
However, the 978 Skyaware page does not a have a heavy border around the colored altitude box.
I reckon they didn’t modify that one…yet.

Also, I noticed that the Skyaware Anywhere page hasn’t been modified either.

You need to do a sudo apt update first, so that you have the latest index files. The missing files will be packages which have been updated to newer versions since you last fetched the index files.

You can just accept this one, it’s an old problem due to a change in the upstream repositories.

Not sure why I don’t see the altitude chart after the upgrade to 8.1. Anyone else having this issue? I am using Brave as browser along with uBlock. Turned off uBlock to see if that was causing any issues but wasn’t that.

uBlock is fine, likely Brave. That said, did you power cycle de RPi?

I know it should not be necessary but it was the only way to get the map to update to 8.1. I upgraded to 8.2 yesterday and the same thing I reported a few days ago happened. This time I made sure to clear the Firefox cache multiples times. The map only updated after a power cycle. Happened on two installs.

I did reboot the VM i am running this docker container.

@moasson Could you elaborate on how you updated? I see you’re running on Ubuntu but I don’t see what versions of FA software you’re currently on.

@eric1tran I am running my setup on an Ubuntu VM using sdr-enthusiasts docker containers. I have watchtower running and keeping the docker containers updated as soon as updates become available.

I am currently running: PiAware 8.1

To keep my system simple, and no Docker layer, I have installed ver 8.2 directly on Ubuntu on VM.

I would’ve done this as well if I was only feeding FA. I am feeding my data to 3 other sites. Docker makes this process so easy. I didn’t have this issue with previous version, since updates to 8.1, this has happened.

I also feed data to Flightradar24 , Planefinder , and AdsbExchange from Ubuntu amd64 on VM, without Docker.

I installed Flightradar24 and Planefinder feeders by installing their amd64 deb packages and AdsbExchange feeder by running it’s install script.

Below is how I have installed these 3 feeders:

1 of 3: Install Flightradar24 feeder on amd64/x86_64 computer:

wget https://repo-feed.flightradar24.com/linux_x86_64_binaries/fr24feed_1.0.25-3_amd64.deb  

sudo dpkg -i fr24feed_1.0.25-3_amd64.deb  

## Run following command to signup/configure
## Do NOT select receiver type "1 - DVB-T"
## Select "4 - AVR-TCP"

sudo fr24feed --signup   

 

2 of 3 : Install Planefinder feeder on amd64/x86_64 computer:

wget http://client.planefinder.net/pfclient_5.0.162_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i pfclient_5.0.162_amd64.deb

To signup / configure Plane finder,

Go to web page

  • On Ubuntu computer:
    localhost:30053
  • SSH from another computer:
    IP-OF-Ubuntu-VM:30053

 

3 of 3 : Install Adsbexchange feeder on amd64/x86_64 computer:

curl -L -o /tmp/axfeed.sh https://adsbexchange.com/feed.sh

sudo bash /tmp/axfeed.sh

Hey tomvdhorst, how you doing?

Your more than aware of the little skill set I posses when it comes to setting up PiAware-FlightAware and the Pi OS ( look at the last conversations we had ) but just this morning I browsed my setup from the laptop and woohoo! all still working, all updated, and I did nothing?

I do remember seeing 7.2 on the attached monitor last week, but sure enough, its now 8.2.

happy days!
