o-charts hang opencpn

[Subtandard]

I installed one o-chart today using the latest o-chart plugin (2.0.6.0). The chart installed successfully. When I select the chart at the bottom of the screen I get the EULA screen and I agree and the chart usually loads. When I select another o-chart, the program hangs. It is consuming all the CPU it can get and must be killed will kill -9. This behavior is consistent.


I am on Ubuntu 22.10 and OpenCPN 5.8.4-3. I see nothing useful in the log. Can anyone help?

Can you explain this further:

  When I select another o-chart, the program hangs.

What are you doing? Zooming in? Are you in single chart mode or quilted?

OpenCPN crashes on Kubuntu 23.10 when I install o-charts. I couldn't find anything in the logs but I didn't spend much time on it.


Bummer.

I assume I am in quilted mode. Where do I find that? As soon as I select the second o-chart, the program hangs so I am not doing anything else. I am guessing it is in the licensing sw. The first o-chart I select usually works and I can go back and forth between that chart and the cm93 chart.

When you "crashes", does the program exit or do you have to kill it manually?

Quilted: round edges of the rectangles at the chart bar, single mode: sharp edges.
Toggle the modes with the "q" key.

Another thing to try out:
put the CM93 and the o-charts set in its own chart group. Evoke only o-charts. What happens then?

Basically, no change. The first chart comes up OK. When I select another o-chart the program goes into a tight loop and must be terminated.

Thank you. I was in single mode. In quilted I get the same behavior except the cursor becomes the circle indication the program is busy.

Does that only happen when selecting a chart from the chart piano?

If you just pan and zoom?

Only when I select a chart. Pan and zoom are OK.

Now, in Options|Display|advanced you will find an entry to toggle OpenGL on/off.
Please try with OpenGL OFF.

It is off and I don't seem to be able to turn it on. Is that normal?

No, not standard.
