GS fails after update (the one with the Airspy)

Hi, 2 of my Raspberry Pi groundstations failed today, both pointint to a network error. Ran the update on both stations because a reboot did not solve it.Mar 27 11:05:27 pisatnog satnogs-client[314]: urllib3.exceptions.NewConnectionError: <urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7108ab70>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable error

After the update on both stations the one with the rtl-sdr does work.

The airspy one now gives this error:

Any help on this ?

Seems to have started when enabling IQ recording. Now have that disabled and testing.

Probably a file permission issue. Check your IQ_DUMP_FILENAME and make sure the satnogs user has write permissions to it.
