Hello all,

I have a problem with the grib plugin.
When I open it, I choose a grib file - it doesn't mater which one, coming from Xygrib or download from Saildocs, it is the same, I cannot see the content of "wind" and "waves" direction windows and the end of "pression" window is truncated. But if the cursor is out of the grib zone all the "N/A" in the windows are completely visible. If you copy all the small window of wind direction, wave direction or pression (truncated) and past them in a text editor, all the numbers are present. So it seems that it is only the display which is not good. I have try to change the font and color of the console", it the same.
I have try to make a fresh and new Opencpn 5.6.1 installation by suppressing all opencpn directories and occurrences in the System File and all hidden files in my home directory. I have done no setting in the new Opencpn installation, just enable the grib plugin. It is the same.
I have try to install Opencpn on a laptop also with Linux Mint 20.03, as my own system on my PC, and it is a little different, the numbers are a little more visible but no much more.
I have try to read all the grib plugin forum, maybe not well, but I have found nothing about that. May be it comes from my computers, I don't know.
Is there anybody to help me ? Thanks in advance.


Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon

Wjat happens if you turn on opengl?

[jpiebrig1]

Opengl is "on" but "on" or "off" it is the same

Attach the grib here. I will try it.

[jpiebrig1]

You should have the grib file. Extension is grb2

[rgleason]

Ok remind me what is wrong. It appears to be working fine.

[jpiebrig1]

For everybody it seems to work fine. But for me I cannot see the win and waves direction,the numbers are truncated and I cannot see them. Look on my post above with the picture. The problem, for me, is coming from my installation, not from the grib files.

Is the display fine if you change the language to English?

[jpiebrig1]

If I change the language to English, it is the same ! Nothing better.

[ozolli]

Well, no problem on ubuntu 22.04:

Edit: Oh maybe you use the flatpak version?
I remember it has quite a lot of graphical artefacts.

jpiebrig1...
Looks to me as if this is a problem with Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon display manager and wxWidgets interface. As far as I have tested, it cannot be reproduced on Ubuntu/debian gtk2/3 desktops.
This would not be the first time that wxWidgets shows platform dependency problems.
Please add the flaw/bug to Flyspray, and we can take a look in due course. To be fully frank, I am not optimistic.

ozolli :


I don'use Flatpack at all, for nothing. It the last deb version 5.6.2


bdcat :


If you are not optimistic I think I will wait for a new version of LinuxMint, but not sure it will solve the problem.
But I will add it to Flyspray


Just an other problem, nothing to do with this one.
I cannot use anymore "jpiebrig", it is working but I cannot created or answer any thread, I am not allowed. If you can do anything, thanks, but do not waist time with that.
