Seen installing CarWatch 0.7.0 (913d453) on the Bosgame VTA-439, Ubuntu Server 26.04.1, 10 Sep 2026.
sudo ./install.sh stops at the apt step with exit 100:
E: Package 'wireless-tools' has no installation candidate
Because the script runs with set -euo pipefail, everything after the apt line is skipped: no systemd units are copied, so systemctl enable carwatch-chat then fails with "Unit carwatch-chat.service does not exist". Ubuntu 26.04 no longer ships wireless-tools (iwconfig); iw is present.
Suggested fix: install packages one by one and tolerate a missing one (for p in wireless-tools poppler-utils bluez rsync; do apt-get install -y "$p" || echo ">> $p not available, skipping"; done), and use iw where iwconfig is used. The dashboard itself needs none of these packages; on the VTA it runs fine after copying the unit by hand.
Also worth noting for non-Pi hosts: the dashboard's model URL default is :8081 (CARWATCH_MODEL_URL), a drop-in was needed to point it at a brain on :8080.
