I ran into the same problem a while back. You need a fairly recent version of PiHPSDR. Look for dl1ycf's Github repository (https://github.com/dl1ycf/pihpsdr). Download the manual and follow the instructions to build it (Appendix J).
Note that the software is updated regularly.

That said, there's absolutely no harm in trying. You can always reset the database on the G2 Thetis configuration.

Do I just need to create a local scripts directory, then copy the contents (*.sh's) of the script directory on Lauerance's github to my RPi4 and then execute "update-G2.sh" in terminal?

Then follow with the firmware update process to update the FPGA from v17 to v25?

I got V17 of the firmware. Trying to upgrade to V25, but there is no folder called Saturn/scripts.
Saturn is there, but within Saturn, there is no folder called scripts.
Thanks.

I also have V17 firmware in my non-display G2. I can easily enough create a "scripts" directory, just don't know where ...
