    Hi,
    Yesterday I tried to run the script to change my location of my feeder as I had moved house. It appears to compile the new version and then throws an error when it tries to start the feeder. On https://www.adsbexchange.com/myip/ it shows that it has a feeder connection but no mlat. I have put a copy of the console error from the script below.

    ---------------------------------
    adsbexchange-mlat service couldn't be started, please report this error to the adsbexchange forum or discord.
    Try an copy as much of the output above and include it in your report, thank you!

    The feeder is a piaware 7.2 image that is feeding everywhere else (fr24, radarbox, opensky) perfectly fine.

    If anyone can point me in the direction to fix this it would be appreciated.

    Thanks Karl

    Unfortunately my sd card went funny and I have had to reinstall everything and that has seemed to solve it but brought other issues relating to apt-key. It now feeds adsbx fine again.
