PF Client Issues

[jonboy1081]

Hi All,

I have a Pi running PiAware and also feed to 360 radar, I would like to feed PF also, I have tried installing the client from Step 3 in this guide https://forum.planefinder.net/threa...ctions-for-raspbian-dump1090-data-feeder.241/ but get the following error in Putty, am I following the correct procedure?.

Thanks

Jon

You have downloaded multiple copies of pfclient. Every time yo run wget command, it downloads new copy and as there is already a copy existing, it saves it with a number added at the end.

If you give command ls you will see something like this:

pfclient_4.1.1_armhf.deb
pfclient_4.1.1_armhf.deb.1
pfclient_4.1.1_armhf.deb.2
pfclient_4.1.1_armhf.deb.3
pfclient_4.1.1_armhf.deb.4
pfclient_4.1.1_armhf.deb.5

The first one (without a number added at the end) was corrupted during download. After downloading new copy when you issue following command, it tries to install the same corrupted copy (without any numbrr at the end), and not the new one (which has a number at the end)

sudo dpkg -i pfclient_4.1.1_armhf.deb


First delete all the downloaded ones (including the corrupted one) then try again wget and dpkg commands, as shown below:

(1) Delete all copies of pfclient

sudo rm pfclient_4.1.1_armhf*

(2) Check no copies are left undeleted

ls

(3) If above check shows no copy left undeleted, issue following commands

wget http://client.planefinder.net/pfclient_4.1.1_armhf.deb 

sudo dpkg -i pfclient_4.1.1_armhf.deb
