It's time to upgrade the software of your stations, again (Dec 23, 2020)

I got the following output when running Update in satnogs-setup:

My image was already on Buster. Not sure why I got this error, but in case anyone stumbles on it, the resolution is to run sudo apt-get install needrestart and then run Update again.

There is a new release of SatNOGS Client Ansible: 202007160921!

This release includes the latest SatNOGS Client (1.3.4) and Flowgraphs (1.2.2) and a few bugfixes on SatNOGS Client Ansible itself. Changes since 202003221112 include new decoders and various bugfixes.

Cheers!

I did the upgrade, as per the instructions in the first post in this thread, but https://network.satnogs.org/stations/1272/ still says version 1.3.2, even after a reboot.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?

doctorvenables · July 19, 2020, 8:44pm

Me too. I was on an experimental 1.3.3 however I’ve now been back-installed to 1.3.2 (and associated ogg problems)

doctorvenables · July 19, 2020, 8:55pm

OK - I appear to have managed to upgrade BUT I had to do the following in the software section of satnogs-setup by hand

change satnogs client to 1.3.4
change ansible git branch to 2020070160921
change flowgraphs package version to 1.2.2

Selected apply. It breaks because it can’t find flowgraphs 1.2.2

Selected apply again. Update completes.

Will see if I get waterfall/audio etc over the next hour or so.

doctorvenables · July 20, 2020, 9:48am

Solved:
2 things
a) I had done volk_profile for the satnogs user with ‘sudo -u satnogs volk_profile’ which was causing problems so I removed the .volk/volk_config file
b) rigctld setting in satnogs-setup had been set to ‘false’ so the airspy I’m using wasn’t getting the correct frequencies.

The volk thing is my fault - I’m using volk 2.3 with gr-satellites whereas I think satnogs uses volk1?
The rigctld thing defintely wasn’t my fault though

mfalkvidd · July 20, 2020, 5:05pm

I ran the update two times more, including one reboot. I have 1.3.4 now

peterg · July 25, 2020, 10:13am

I’m using the Satnogs Raspbian image. I followed the instructions here but I’m still on 1.3.1 according to the dashboard.

I tried manually setting SATNOGS_CLIENT_VERSION to 1.3.4 and re-ran satnogs-update but it didn’t upgrade anything:

pi@satnogs:~ $ sudo satnogs-upgrade 
Hit:1 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster InRelease
Hit:2 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/librespace:/satnogs/Raspbian_10 ./ InRelease
Hit:3 http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian buster InRelease                                      
Hit:4 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ansible/ansible/ubuntu trusty InRelease                       
Reading package lists... Done

Any idea what I can do to force the upgrade?

fredy · July 26, 2020, 1:42am

Just in case, there should be at least one new observation performed and uploaded for updating the version in Network. However you can check it at the top in satnogs-setup. Is it there that you get 1.3.1? If yes please copy paste the result of Advanced -> Support.

peterg · August 6, 2020, 7:52pm

Thanks @fredy I didn’t realise I needed to run some observations after the upgrade to see the version change in the dashboard.
It might be a good idea to add that note to the upgrade instructions so others don’t make the same mistake.

fredy · August 10, 2020, 8:00am

Added in https://wiki.satnogs.org/SatNOGS_Client_Setup#Updating_SatNOGS_Client_Software.

By the way, it is a wiki, feel free to contribute by loging in with your SatNOGS credentials and edit the wiki page to add, edit or remove content.

K3RLD · October 4, 2020, 8:44pm

Well, I held off updating due to fear of breaking something, and it appears that I did just that. Following the directions on the wiki didn’t seem to work. Station has been offline ever since I attempted to update. Support log below:

Can you try update and apply again.

Also can you see any error if you run:
journalctl -f -u satnogs-client.service

K3RLD · October 5, 2020, 12:26am

Ugh. Embarassment. For some reason I thought that “apply” was a menu item and not an actual button at the bottom of the menu, so I never hit it. It seems to be doing something right now which I assume will complete the update. Apologies for wasting your time - I’ll report back if everything was successful.

K3RLD · October 5, 2020, 12:48am

Looks like I’m back on line (station 187). Operator error (as usual).

fredy · October 5, 2020, 12:55am

No problem at all. Maybe we should make the update → apply sequence more visible in wiki guide, or maybe merge these two.

Glad that it was just applying the update

K3RLD · October 5, 2020, 5:10pm

Looks like the autoscheduler is broken. I will look into it tonight.

K3RLD · October 5, 2020, 8:31pm

Yet again, my fault. Crontab job hadn’t run yet.
