Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat (Desktop & Server): Install piaware, dump1090-fa, dump978-fa, and piaware-web

abcd567 · January 3, 2024, 1:36am

No release of Ubuntu 24 is yet available. Only “daily-build” is available.

The daily build Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop CD is currently non-installable on HDD and can only be run from RAM as live cd.

The daily build Ubuntu 24.04 Server CD is installable on HDD.

Both these live CDs are changing daily as Ubuntu 24.04 is being developed.

It is like a rolling release till Ubuntu 24.04 LTS will be released.

On both the Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat Desktop and on Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat Server , I successfully installed following:

piaware
dump1090-fa
dump978-fa
piaware-web.

The above packages were very easily installed using installation scripts at:

piaware-ubuntu-debian-amd64

However since “daily-Builds” are rolling releases and are changing everyday, there is no guarantee my script will continue working on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS when it is release later in 2024.

I think the reason for failure of building piaware on Ubuntu 24.o4 Noble Nimbat (daily-build dated 2024-02-25) is due to Python version upgraded from 3.11 to 3.12, resulting in failure to build fa-mlat-client

I tried to down-grade python3.12 to python3.11, but Ubuntu apt refused to downgrade, saying version 3.11 is not available.

Ubuntu24.04 Noble (Daily built dated 2024-02-05)

I have checked Debian 13 Trixi SID, and it still uses python3.11, but it may also change to 3.12 anytime

sq6emm · February 29, 2024, 8:45pm

I am blocked in the same place…
Any chances for resolution?

abcd567 · March 1, 2024, 6:35am

Yes, if and when Flightaware staff @obj and/or @eric1tran take action to resolve it.

May be they have already resolved this issue in development branch, but I did not bother to check it as Ubuntu24 (noble) is in testing stage and is changing continously. Also Flightaware’s focus is on Debian, and not on Ubuntu. The Debian 13 (testing trixie) still uses python3.11 and has still no issues in building fa-mlat-client.

Python 3.12 support

opened 01:52AM - 03 Dec 23 UTC

marcelotduarte

cx_Freeze 6.15.x supports Python 3.7 to 3.11 in all OSes. cx_Freeze developme…nt version supports Python 3.12, but its dependencies for Windows (cx_Logging, Lief) are not yet compatible with Python 3.12 and do not provide wheels. So, you can test the latest development build (we provide all necessary wheels): `pip install --force --no-cache --pre --extra-index-url https://marcelotduarte.github.io/packages/ cx_Freeze` For conda-forge the command is: `conda install -y --no-channel-priority -S -c https://marcelotduarte.github.io/packages/conda cx_Freeze`

no cx_Freeze release with 3.12 support yet.

I could successfully build piaware 9.0.1, on Ubuntu-24 (noble testing) but WITHOUT mlat support.

git clone https://github.com/flightaware/piaware_builder
cd piaware_builder
./sensible-build.sh bookworm 
cd package-bookworm/
sudo nano debian/rules

## From file "piaware_builder/package-bookworm/debian/rules", 
## deleted all entries pertaining to "fa-mlat-client", and saved file

fa-mlat-client gives following runtime error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘asyncore’

`asyncore` — Asynchronous socket handler

Source code: Lib/asyncore.py

Deprecated since version 3.6, will be removed in version 3.12: The asyncore module is deprecated (see PEP 594 for details). Please use asyncio instead.

obj · March 18, 2024, 8:53am

Yep, I guess that is a fundamental incompatibility with newer python that will need a rework of the client to resolve. asyncio had only just arrived when I originally wrote mlat-client, and wasn’t available on the Debian installs of the time, so that’s why it is still asyncore.

abcd567 · March 18, 2024, 9:44am

It is good that the Debian13 Trixie (testing) has not yet switched to python3.12, and is still using python3.11, so building piaware and fa-mlat-client did NOT create any problem and was as smooth as on Bookworm and Bullseye.

abcd567 · March 18, 2024, 12:33pm

@obj

Replaced all occurrences of “asyncore” by “asyncio” in all files of folder “package-bookworm/mlat-client” by following command

abcd@ubuntu-24:~$ grep -rl 'asyncore' piaware_builder/package-bookworm/mlat-client | xargs sed -i 's/asyncore/asyncio/g'

Build, installed and ran piaware.
Got following Runtime error:

AttributeError: module 'asyncio' has no attribute 'dispatcher'

Seems I have to wait till you update mlat-client to suite python3.12.
Since Ubuntu24.04 is still in testing stage, and expected to be release by the end of this year, there is no hurry.
Anyway, all this exercise was a good experiment and something to keep me busy.

obj · March 18, 2024, 3:46pm

Yeah, asyncio is not at all a drop-in replacement for asyncore, they work quite differently and there will be development work needed to port mlat-client to use asyncio.
