Hi!
What started as a "just get it to work on Ubuntu 20" got out of hand quickly to get some nice pictures.
So this is meant more as a basis for discussion than a quick PR.

Features added:

  • Use newer packages or use alternatives (some packets like predict are no longer shipped with ubuntu)
  • Use librtlsdr instead of osmocom to make use of filters
  • Additionally use noaa-apt to better analyze passes (mostly debugging)
  • Logging to /var/log/noaa.log (will only log if file is created)
  • Allow a user to be named differently than pi
  • Ask user about reboot before doing it in install
  • merge redundant schedule_sat.sh and schedule_meteor.sh (could be added for iss as well)
  • Increased logging (mostly INFO and DEBUG)
  • Mark pass inactive even when decoding was not successful (happens a lot to my suboptimal setup, sadly)
  • Added (now dead) Meteor M2-2
  • Added support for auto-gain and PPM-Error
  • Fixed ntp-package, which destroys NTP-Sync when installed

I know this is a lot, especially with different OS-Versions out there. So this is open to discussion.

@Cirromulus nice work! Looks like you've done some redundant work with the v2 version I stood up after speaking with Nico about pushing this forward. Check out this repo - it is likely more in line with the changes you made plus/minus, and maybe we can collaborate to move this forward a bit? I have a couple other contributors that are helping continue to push this forward!

Oh, the existence of a V2 is new to me 🤦‍♂️
I will look into it. Do you know on top of your head if I did at least something new ?

This raises the Issue that a newer and more sophisticated V2 exists. This should be mentioned in the main Readme.

Edit: But interestingly it seems, we did the same style in forking with features getting out of hand :)
