Installation Satnogs-client on Debian Bullseye / laptop - need help

Hi everybody,

I try to set-up a second station, using an old laptop - Toshiba Satellite L300.
I installed Debian 11 Bullseye, it seems is working fine.
I used PE0SAT instructions ( see Debian | Amateur Radio – PEØSAT ).
Exempting 1 step, where I am not sure I was doing right, it seems the installation was succesfully.
After that, I tried to install SatMonitor, but it was a failure.
Now, if I try to modify the setup, It doesnt work.

So, this is the Support report
Generating support report. Please wait…

Thank you in advance,

Before you started with the SatMonitor install was everything working, did you also had successful observation?

I didnt make receptions before trying install Satmonitor. I saw it doesnt work installation, so I conect antenna and LNA, and I wanted to check what gain and ppm I need.
So, the system is now 48 db gain and 35 ppm (the old values you can find in metadata files) and is working. The new values I need to input (20 db anf 30 ppm) are only shown in station configuration, but It doesnt work the Apply step.
See 3600 station receptions, ex
https://network.satnogs.org/observations/9619008/

Remove the ppa that adds gpredict-team/ppa/ubuntu.
Then run satnogs-setup and apply again. apt update must finish without errors, warnings are ok.

Yes, it works !!!
Thank you very much.
