Can anyone tell me how to uninstall Piaware?
Thanks
On which device?
Assuming a Raspberry you need to open a terminal and excecute the following default linux commands:
sudo systemctl disable piaware
sudo systemctl stop piaware
sudo apt remove piaware
If you want to get dump1090-fa removed, repeat the steps above and replace ‘piaware’ with ‘dump1090-fa’

Step one and two worked without error but step 3 resulted in the following:
E: Conflicting values set for option Signed-By regarding source http://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/ bookworm: /usr/share/keyrings/flightaware-archive-keyring.gpg !=
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Can you advise on how to fix this?
Thanks
Not directly.
Sounds like it was installed some time ago and the keyring has been changed over time.
But as you have with the first two commands stopped and disabled the service, it won’t hurt.
What you need to do is open the file /etc/apt/sources and remove or comment out the line where “flightaware.com” is documented.
Then reinstall it again as documented here and then you should be able to completely uninstall it.
Very sorry to be a bother, I ran the following and you can see the results.
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
deb Index of /raspbian bookworm main contrib non-free rpi
Uncomment line below then ‘apt-get update’ to enable ‘apt-get source’
#deb-src Index of /raspbian bookworm main contrib non-free rpi
Was the command correct and should I comment out all after deb?
Thanks again
Please disreguard prior post, I was ablt to figure it out and reinstalled FlightAware.
Would the reinstall pick up my prior setting or do I need to redo?
depends if you still have the file /etc/piaware.conf in place where your serial number is documented.
If not, you need to follow the install guide and use the additional command
sudo piaware-config feeder-id xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
where xxxx-xxxx-xxxx is your feeder id. You can find it in your stats under location information. It is always a good idea to document it elsewhere. If your feeder is down for a longer period of time, it will be removed from the stats and you won’t get it back.
You might have also received a mail with the number on registration, but that can be years ago, depending on how long it was running.
