No change with the upgrade. With the same problem on at least 3 different 64 bit systems, including win7, it smells like a more general 64 bit problem.

An interesting thing with my upgrade was that the old opencpn.conf created a segfault when using a version compiled with the new system. Attached below.

Dave,
Thanks for the great job.
Re. 207: Upload to my Furuno 33 failed. The Furuno 33 differs from the 30 and 32 with respect to upload syntax. I'll do some more testing and send you the spec's that work for the 33 using another program.

Cheers, Len.

One problem I hav encounter in the version 2.6.1624 is that it return an error reading the:- ENC .txt files for many charts. Is this important for a correction?

Hello Dave,

i have problems running the beta in Kubuntu 12.04.
maybe this happens in a virtual environment (VMWare, Oracle) only.

the toolbar-preferences dialog crashes when selecting the second (GPS)
or following tabs (+OK-button).

if select in Settings "Use OpenGL" +OK, then the toolbar disappears 'til
set in opencpn.conf OpenGL to false.

best regards,
konni

64 bit problems.

I am going to have a hard time debugging this without a 64 bit reference system available.

Lets step back: Is there any previous version or Beta that worked correctly with your AMD64 setup?

Sorry for a late response, we sailed from Miami to NC....

Note that I pulled this file name from Thomas's log. Dirk, yours will be similar. Show us your log if you can't find it.

I guess I need help.... Here is the log after adding a second cm93 dir, when opencpn hangs:

...
11:03:05: Searching directory: S:\CHARTS\VECTOR\CM93ED2\CM93ED2-201101 for 00300000.a
11:03:05: Found probable CM93 database in S:\CHARTS\VECTOR\CM93ED2\CM93ED2-201101
11:03:14: Loading chart data for S:\CHARTS\VECTOR\CM93ED2\CM93ED2-201101\00300000\A\00300000.A
11:03:14: CM93Composite Chart Root is S:\CHARTS\VECTOR\CM93ED2\CM93ED2-201101\
...
11:03:15: Searching directory: S:\CHARTS\VECTOR\CM93ED2\CM93ED2-2002 for 00300000.a
11:03:15: Found probable CM93 database in S:\CHARTS\VECTOR\CM93ED2\CM93ED2-2002

There is only one file in that dir right now.
Second and third file name can be anything, and can be junk.

so,

$touch /opt/navigation/Charts/CM93/Cm93 jan 2011/00900840/A/junk1

$touch /opt/navigation/Charts/CM93/Cm93 jan 2011/00900840/A/junk2

Also need to do the same for the other two cm93 roots.

Root cause of problem: Fetching dir/file names iteratively in code depends on the order in which they were written to disk. Mine appear to be jumbled up, so no problem. Yours are nice and regular, so we have some trouble distinguishing among the three cm93 root dirs.

I created 2 junk empty text files (no touch command on winblows). my best guess, where to add two junk text files, is:
S:\CHARTS\VECTOR\CM93ED2\CM93ED2-2002\00300000\A

Now, OpenCPN doesn't hang anymore, but now I am getting the following error in the log:

11:09:45: Searching directory: S:\CHARTS\VECTOR\CM93ED2\CM93ED2-2002 for 00300000.a
11:09:45: Found probable CM93 database in S:\CHARTS\VECTOR\CM93ED2\CM93ED2-2002
11:09:49: Loading chart data for S:\CHARTS\VECTOR\CM93ED2\CM93ED2-2002\00300000\A\junk
11:09:49:    ...creation failed for S:\CHARTS\VECTOR\CM93ED2\CM93ED2-2002\00300000\A\junk
11:09:49:    CreateChartTableEntry() failed for file: S:\CHARTS\VECTOR\CM93ED2\CM93ED2-2002\00300000\A\junk

Not sure what I should do next

Dirk, are you on Windows?

Yes. XP-SP3, a patch doesn't help me much.... a next beta would be great.

The text for the Trackpoints radiobuttons worked in 2.6.1609. I just re-installed and tested again.

The windows decoration for the tides is different. I can't get it now, even testing the official 64 bit 2.5 package, which, as you said earlier, points towards a change in a 64 bit library.

Dirk...

Please cancel my lame attempt at a workaround. It really is make-work at this point, since a new Beta will be forthcoming maybe tomorrow.

Sorry for the glitch

Superb!

Well. that makes no sense. I look at the git logs, and find no relevant changes to the dialog code between 1609 and 1624.

Did the 1609 test use the same libraries as 1624?

Missing Tide dialog decorations:

Embarrassing bug.
Try changing the color scheme to the "other" normal display.
The decorations only are shown for one of the four possible color schemes.

The idea here was to suppress the decorations for dusk and night modes, since we could not control the color well on Windows platforms. The bug is that we suppress the decorations for the wrong color scheme.

Fixed for next Beta.

Yes, I installed 16.09 on my present setup. Even going back in the "history" of Synaptic, there are no changes in wx libraries since April 9:th, so the compilation environment should be the same.
Or... are we looking at other libraries as well?
I just tested a 1609 portable, no problem there.

So much for Linux, but there is Rik-lu on Win 7 as well. A change in Lin&Win libraries at the same time???

I think we need feedback from more users on 64 bits systems.

Joining you in head scratching.

Text shows in Ubuntu 12.04 32bit but ghosted.
Text not shown in WinXP.
Text shown in Win8 32bit.

All at the same machine (same graphic card) with the above virtual engines.

Are you still having trouble with user tide harmonics?
