Does this site still work?

I had been using the version 4.1 client and now all I get is "last insert failed".

I tried to use the client for Windows 10 - that's not working at all.

I just tried to get the version for RaspberryPi...when I get through the set up using PUTTY, the pi says services failed to start because it doesn't exist.

Kinda stumped here...

Got it to work finally. Sharing data again via raspberry Pi.

Hello gralston,

Good to hear you managed to setup the client. "... services failed to start ..." I made the same experience with V22 on Raspian 10 Buster. There seem to be some incompatibility. But I don't understand it yet.
With one of my stations I also get drop-outs after a few days. Somehow there are no more "currently tracked flights". Could you please report any problems, I am always interested in improving the tool.

Regards

I had problems with Buster a couple of years ago. At the time, I was trying to install the 360radar client, and was told that:

1) it's not currently properly released (it's based on Debian 10 which hasn't been released yet)

2) there are limited drivers for it

3) our MLAT-Clients haven't been compiled for it and won't be until it's properly released.

I don't know whether this is still the case, of if it applies to the LMMS client, but was advised to use the previous version of Raspbian (Stretch)... which I did, and it worked fine. I'm still using it on a Pi2.

I did notice about a month or so ago, that my LMMS feed had started dropping out. It was happening every few days to start with, but got more frequent, and I was having to restart the client [sudo service modes.sh restart] after 24hrs or so.

I never did get to the bottom of it, and instead swapped out the Pi and SD card with a backup. I've not had any feed dropout problems since.

Perhaps an improper poweroff had corrupted the SD card in some way?

Buster should work

I updated the Raspbian Buster installation on October 17th. Since then it's running modesfiltered V22 without problems.
