Airtime on Raspberry Pi 2 - Airtime Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Simon Josey

I have tried installing Airtime on my Raspberry Pi 2. Things appear to go well, but when I run the "sudo apt-get update" command before the final install command I get the following error:

"Failed to fetch http://apt.sourcefabric.org/dists/wheezy/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)"

I have added the following line to my sources.list file:

deb http://apt.sourcefabric.org/ wheezy main

But when I run "sudo apt-get update" I get the same error.

How can I overcome this error?

Its not really an error. I get the same when installing Airtime onto other Rockchip devices.
However Airtime installs and works fine (Trusty). I think it's because the APT assumes there will be armh stuff in there - but there isn't. Nor is it needed.

OK, but then when I run "sudo apt-get install airtime" I get the following error: "Unable to locate package airtime".

I guess you will have to download the DEB and install from that? My 'error' says it can't find the armh/bin folder.

That's what I did - I started by running "sudo gdebi airtime-easy-setup.deb".

I didnt use the easy

I'd be very surprised if this actually worked, since the Raspberry Pi 2 uses a quad core ARM 7 processor, and the Airtime executables are compiled for an Intel or AMD architecture. You'll have to recompile the entire thing from source. It can be done, but installing from the standard .deb file just isn't gonna work.

I used the non easy full method and have it working on half a dozen armh boxes.
The Airtime stuff is mostly python. The principal executables are LiquidSoap and Icecast, which there ARE armh executables for.

Did this get resolved?

I'm having the same issue trying to install it on a RP2 tried Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Debian Jessie and receive the same error.

following these instructions it worked:

RP2 with Raspbian Jessie Lite.

I'll have a go and see how far I get

It's worked :)

"Works"

I'm not sure what Roger is on about, but this worked perfectly well for me on a Pi 2 and Raspbian Jessie Lite after trying several other methods of getting it working. Nice job on this. I can now retire the old HP server and run my little station from a couple of solar panels due to the power savings.

Howdy, Stranger!
