Ok, so i’ve set up my stationary ground station. I’m using 137Mhz - 145Mhz Turnstile antenna. I’ve received images from NOAA 19 and decoded it with WXtoimg. I need to connect my station to the network using the satnogs-client. I don’t have any programming knowledge in python. I’ve read the Satnogs documentation and understood only little about satnogs-client. I was able to install it thu but that’s it i don’t know how to use it to connect my G.S. My O.S is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I’m not using RasPi as my client I’m using my Laptop.
my station ID in network-dev is (238) UQU
No. I didnt do these settings. i know that i have to download satnogs-client and configure it but i dont know how to do that exactly. I’ve seen some tutorials about installing the satnogs-client but they all suggested that i need raspberry pi. I don’t have a raspberry pi. I’m working from my laptop (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS). @csete
@lazzyrabbit have you read our documentation for how to install the client? It is not as simple as pip install, you also need gr-satnogs (expect if you are doing something really custom)
@lazzyrabbit as @pierros said you can try the ansible way following the instructions for debian.
We are in progress of adding instructions for ubuntu, but you will be probably ok with these for debian.
If you want to go the hard way and install everything from scratch then you can take a look on an old guide for fedora for rpi but you will need to find the ubuntu dependencies for gr-satnogs. https://wiki.satnogs.org/Fedora_Installation. However there are several changes from then, so not suggested.
Anyway whatever you choose, It would be more than welcome if you could document your attempt in order to be easier for the next ones who will try to install satnogs in ubuntu.
Attempting to follow the Ansible assisted client installation on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. However, when running ansible-playbook -i production/inventory -K site.yml -e 'ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3' I am getting the following error message:
[DEPRECATION WARNING]: The TRANSFORM_INVALID_GROUP_CHARS settings is set to allow bad characters in
group names by default, this will change, but still be user configurable on deprecation. This feature
will be removed in version 2.10. Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting
deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.

Initially I had tried running the command without-e 'ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3', same results.
Is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS not supported? I’m reluctant to follow the Linux Desktop guide since it says it is deprecated/obsolete, although that page does state it works for Ubuntu 16.04…
Any help you could give me would be great, I wouldn’t like to default to an RPi because my whole setup is already working on Ubuntu (GNURadio, GQRX, Gpredict, etc), but I’d like to automate the station with SatNOGS because manual tracking is a pain (haha).
Edit: would totally be willing to writing a guide for this if I am able to install it successfully.
With the latest updates on client software (satnogs-client, gr-satnogs, satnogs-flowgraphs) I doubt that Ubuntu 16.04 is supported. Maybe the new LTS version is better candidate.

how run it
plese sent instuctions or code for run it
This obsolete component was removed 4 years ago from the satnogs-client. While this removal is not the cause of the error (potentially the error is caused by a wrong Python version), I strongly recommend to get a fresh installation of all SatNOGS components.
There are the following options:
(best) If intend to run on a Raspberry PI, follow this guide to install the station software using a pre-built image
(much more complicated) Use a fresh Debian Buster installation and then follow the guide linked in the next alternative
(much more complicated) Use a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installation and follow along those steps (by @PE0SAT, thanks that you compiled this list!)
