    Additionally if you have dump1090 runnning ... since Lubuntu is debian based and Raspbian is debian based ...

    The script method should setup mlat and the feeder script for ADSBx. Not sure if Lubuntu has rc.local enabled, so it might not run at boot.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install git
    git clone https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange.git
    cd adsb-exchange
    chmod +x setup.sh
    sudo ./setup.sh

    All accomplished! Dump1090 starts with new script and Exchange is receiving the data. Again, thanks James and MDA for your help solving the problems that got this all working.

    I had fr24, piaware, pfclient and grafana all working and then I added radarbox and every thing else stopped.

    Probably you activated radarbox decoder.
    Edit /etc/rbfeeder.ini
    It should look like:
    Code:
    [client]
    network_mode=true
    
    [network]
    mode=raw
    external_host=127.0.0.1
    external_port=30005
    Save file and reboot, everything should work again.

    I went back and change rbfeeder.ini to mode=beast now I think everything works except virtual radar
    virtual radar was working before so something still isn't right

    Did you install VRS on Pi?

    Does grafana do a rangesplat

    what is VRS

    No, you can see range plot on Planefeeder map.
    Of course you can install VRS (Virtual Radar Server) on your PC, add your Pi as receiver and see range plot.
    You wrote that, I understood that VRS is not working anymore.

    No VRS is not working but I believe everything else is I may have to change my feed port again...
    will that mess up grafana?

    Custom feed port has nothing to do with Grafana.
    Reboot your Pi one more time and wait. You claimed this port already.

    Go to “Tools -> Options” and add a merged feed that contains all of your receivers (if you don’t already have one). If you have only one receiver, you can ignore this step.
    Click on “Rebroadcast Servers” and click the green “+” symbol to add a rebroadcast server

    What menu am I to go to Tools in?

    You don't need to create rebroadcast server, you're already feeding using socat script.
    Just add your Pi as receiver, create receiver location and enjoy it locally.

    Got VRS, it works great thanks, are there any more tools I should know about?

    I am feeding on adsbx but I don't know what port # or how to find or change it? So that I can see my feed in the adsbx custom feed Virtual Radar. I know it has to be somewhere in my setup but I don't know where to look.
    in my adsb-config.txt the custom port is 51387 and when I look at 51387 in the custom feeds there's no traffic.
