Unable to install PiAware on new Ubuntu host

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking
1

Trying to follow the instructions to install the package on an existing Pi running Ubuntu 23.10 and getting this error:

Hit:2 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports mantic InRelease
Ign:1 http://www.flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages mantic InRelease

E: The repository 'http://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages mantic Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Anything I can do with that to get it going? Don’t particularly want to reflash the dang thing with Raspbian if I can avoid it. Would also prefer to be on an apt managed distro so I can just update it without recompiling.

Thanks

We don’t provide prebuilt packages for Ubuntu. flightaware-apt-repository should have warned you about this:

flightaware-apt-repository: FlightAware does not provide packages for your distribution/architecture, the generated apt configuration may not work

You’ll need to build from source.

Awesome, thank you!

Let’s see if I can manage to get this new node up and running (been tweaking GPSd and Chrony before trying to mess around with PiAware)

If you edit the software repository list and edit it to reflect bookworm, Piaware and dump1090 installs perfectly.

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/flightaware-apt-repository.list

Change the name mantic to bookworm and save the file. update and use Flightaware piaware installation procedures from their website.

Good hack!

However this hack will be applicable only to 32-bit (armhf) and 64-bit (arm64) versions of Ubuntu installed on RPi.

This hack will not work on Ubuntu amd64 /x86_64 versions installed on PC or Laptop.
