unable to install on Rpi

[CaLi]

I have a Rpi2 that i have a flightaware image on to feed adsb.

i have followed the instructions here.. https://www.live-military-mode-s.eu/Rpi/ but can not get it to install.

i am ok on a Rpi but i am by no means an expert, i have a few friends that have better knowledge than me and they can not get it to work either.

It will not make makes modes.sh executable with the command "sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/modes.sh"

Hopefully someone here can assist as to why it wont install. Im currently using my PC to feed to live mil but this is not ideal as it means leaving the PC on all day.

Thanks in advance

Hi Cali,
Please type:

Code: Select all

head /etc/init.d/modes.sh

The file access rights are correct.
How do you know that the script is not installed or executable?

[CaLi]

pi@piaware:~$ head /etc/init.d/modes.sh
#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: modes
# Required-Start: $local_fs
# Required-Stop: $local_fs
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: modes initscript
### END INIT INFO

when i check, i can see modes.sh isnt executable even after running the command to make it executable.

[modesfan]

There is no problem. You just mixed up the directories. The script is executed under /etc/init.d. You already checked the file rights. The rights under /home/modesfiltered don't matter. You could delete this copy.

ahhh, something so simple

so how do i get it to work as i am now completely lost with what is what and where (like i said im not great on the pi sorry)

Im hoping this is a simple fix to get it running and feeding data.


i guess its running so i carried on with the instructions but when i Check the logfile: cat /var/log/modes.log

i get this.. (presume something is wrong as my location is not appearing on the livelog page)

[modesfan]

Did you fill variables.txt with your location-string (step 6 of the How to)?

Code: Select all

head /home/pi/modesfiltered/variables.txt

[CaLi]

yes with, nano variables.txt which now contains a single line of text: North Wales One, UK

i did originally have it as North Wales, UK but as my PC is feeding using that name, incase it was causing a conflict i changed it to, North Wales One, UK

i then saved and restarted using sudo service modes.sh restart

[CaLi]

think i have finally got there..

the following was blank and didnt contain my location so i have added in there.

nano /home/pi/modesfiltered/variables.txt

I don't really understand where all the files and folders are through SSH its difficult to grasp. Data is getting sent through now

Many thanks for the replies, got there in the end. Really don't want to do it again though as it was rather confusing if im honest. my head is still mashed but at least its working.

I will close the PC feeder now and then rename my Rpi one

[modesfan]

Thanks for beeing patient with the tool. I will take up your case/comments and try to improve the Setup guide.

Some users reported problems with the newer versions so please keep checking the reports of your station on the website and locally under /var/log/modes.log.

Always good reception!

[CaLi]

Due to accidently upgrading the Raspberry Pi once it rebooted it stopped working properly and i lost my adsb. I have since re-wrote the card and am trying again to add my feed to Live Mil EU but as per previously i am having trouble.

Followed the instructions and i thought it was working but when i check the mode s status i get the following and i not sure if its actually working? no dump1090 found?

pi@piaware:~ $ sudo service modes status
