Dave..

Thanks for ver 1025. Problems with Swedish charts solved.

One remark so far: The font selector for the AIS target query box is not functioning.

Thanks again for all the hard work.

Hello All,

I'm having problems running OpenCPN 2.2 (build 1025) on Ubuntu 10.04.
Compilation is ok. The program starts running, reads the charts and routes.
After some time, it stops responding. The operating system still works fine and I can kill the opencpn process. I have this problem with all builds I tried of version 2.2. Haven't seen this happen in 2.1.

Anyone has an idea of what this problem is an how to fix it?

Thank you!
Paulo

Paulo....

Welcome aboard!

Are you using libgps or gpsd? Any PlugIns loaded?

Thanks
Dave

Dear Tore,
I had the same. When you right click an AIS target on the map, I discovered that there are two fields with AIS object query's in stead of the AIS Target query and the AIS Object query fields. When you like to change the font of the target query you should change it in the AIS object query in the list of text elements. Changing the font of the AIS objects overview seems to be impossible now.

Furthermore it seems to work fine!

Regards,

WimvdH

Dave,
excellent as usually
Two little glitches with my mother tongue though - for the first the patch follows, the second is that it appears twice in the list (see screenshot)

the first was my fault - sorry.

The second is still a problem as the current system language appears once at the second position in the drop-down list (first entry always is English (U.S.)) and the second time in the "normal" order.

I am quite sure that Dave will find a solution for this little problem ... !

Windows XP sp3:
Build 1025. This version does not read HDT sentence from my compass. Neither in dashboard HDG or ships heading on map.
This worked fine in earlier versions.
The dashboard does not have a correct memory for chosen informations, but ads the default instruments to my settings, after next start of program.

W7 with beta 2.2.1025

No GPS position even if until today was no problem. I have NMEA but for some reason it doesn't show up on map!

Hi Dave,

I am using "Network libgps", GRIB and Dashboard plugins.

Thanks

Re GPS position problems:

There was a change in NMEA decoding for this version, required by port to wxWidgets 2.9. I sort of expected some problem here.

We need to see some NMEA message logs to debug this issue precisely.

Can anyone post an NMEA message log that does not seem to work?

Thanks
Dave

[bdbcat]

Gunther....

Can you send me a non-working NMEA stream? Thanks

Paulo...There seems to be some problem with libgps on Ubuntu 10.04. Cagney reports similar problems. Does it work better if no PlugIns are loaded?
