PiAware on Ubuntu 18.10

My post linked below says it is for installation of OS + dump1090-fa + Piaware on a USB flash Pen-drive, but the commands to install dump1090-fa and Piaware are equally valid for installation on Hard Drive:

There is only one problem: the Piaware builder code has been provided for following flavours of Debian & Ubuntu:

  • wheezy
  • jessie
  • stretch
  • xenial
  • bionic

It does not cover Cosmic.

Suggested workaround for Cosmic (untested)

In the manual method I have posted for Piaware, instead of using the line:
CODENAME=(`lsb_release -sc`)

(The above command will set the value of variable CODENAME to the actual version, which in this case is “cosmic”).

You may try deceiving it by replacing above line by:
CODENAME=“xenial”

or by:
CODENAME=“bionic”
