I just wanna know how to set up PiAware on a Raspberry Pi 2 with a GNS 5890 dongle because when I check the status, I get this message :
dump1090 is not running.
faup1090 is not running.
piaware is running.
no program appears to be listening for connections on port 30005.
no program appears to be listening for connections on port 10001.
piaware is NOT connected to port 10001.
piaware is connected to FlightAware.
got ‘couldn’t open socket: connection refused’
maybe dump1090 is NOT producing data on port 30005.

Interesting device, but it may not be a RTL-SDR based device. Trying to dig up more info on it to see if it is compatible from the manufacturer’s web site only shows Windows and Android support.
Can you do a “lsusb” command and post the results?
If it is RTL based, you should see a line similar to this: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:2838 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL2838 DVB-T

Google for modesmixer2, it might be able to do the trick. I think it allows to take serial input and convert to a format that dump1090 can take, or piaware. I have no experience with it myself.
To answer you question about using your specific USB stick.
PiAware can either take undecoded data directly from a RTL compatible device OR already AVR decoded data from anywhere. If you have a program that can decode ADSB messages you can feed it to PiAware with modemixer2.
Modemixer2 is a program that can feed data from one program (an ADSB decoder) to another program (PiAware). Modemixer2 doesn’t do ADSB decoding but act as a glue between programs.

I checked your dongle and it says it comes with ADSB decoding software. If their software is able to output AVR format decoded messages you can send the output from the decoder to the input of PiAware with modemixer2.
I also suggest you get the RTL dongle. It is by far one of the best dongles on the market for ADSB tracking. The reviews of the GNS are saying that range on the RTL dongle is better.
It is also possible to increase the range of the RTL dongle to over 300km.
