OpenCPN Beta Version 3.3.1419 Released

Eirik...

Thanks for the gdb dump.

We seem to be failing when tying to execute the following command:

stat -c %G /dev/ttyS0

We are doing this to determine what group the the serial ports belong to.

What happens when you run that command from the shell alone?

I get this:

dsr@dsr-OptiPlex-GX620:~$ stat -c %G /dev/ttyS0
dialout
dsr@dsr-OptiPlex-GX620:~$

Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,
When running

utilite@utilite-desktop:~$ stat -c %G /dev/ttyS0

I get

stat: cannot stat `/dev/ttyS0': No such file or directory

So, on the Utilite, the serial ports do not seem to be associated with ttyS0 ?

When running dmesg | grep tty

I get the following output

Kernel command line: console=ttymxc3,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait cm_fx6_v4l_msize=128M vmalloc=256M
bootconsole [ttymxc3] enabled
imx-uart.0: ttymxc0 at MMIO 0x2020000 (irq = 58) is a IMX
imx-uart.3: ttymxc3 at MMIO 0x21f0000 (irq = 61) is a IMX
console [ttymxc3] enabled, bootconsole disabled
imx-uart.1: ttymxc1 at MMIO 0x21e8000 (irq = 59) is a IMX
imx-uart.4: ttymxc4 at MMIO 0x21f4000 (irq = 62) is a IMX

Does this mean that the Utilite has a specific setup for serial ports? (I am now on the border of my competencies in Linux).

If I issue the command groups
I get the following memberships:

utilite adm dialout cdrom sudo audio dip video plugdev

So dialout is there (as mentioned in a previous post).

Eirik....

OK, our simple-minded look for serial ports on linux is clearly deficient.
We can do this a little smarter, I think.

Meanwhile, since you are building from source, and you know you belong to "dialout", then just comment away the call to CheckSerialAccess in options.cpp

void options::OnTypeSerialSelected( wxCommandEvent& event )
{
#ifdef __WXGTK__
    if( ! g_bserial_access_checked ){
//        if( !CheckSerialAccess() ){
//        }
        g_bserial_access_checked = true;
    }
#endif

That will skip the offending code so that you may carry on...

Dave

[Eirik]

Thanks, Dave,

I will give your suggestion a shot.

Just to be sure, I should comment away all the lines that you have referred to (and not just the line with CheckSerialAccess?)

Eirik...

Just the two "//" lines should do it.

Good luck
Dave

This may have been around for a while:
1. Create a mark at 35 58.1899 N 075 58.8369 W named "X"
2. Navigate to the skewed chart 11553_1.kap Albermarle Sound to Alligator River North Carolina, manually.
3. Route Manager>Waypoints>X>Center View
4. The chart rotates from its North up position and if you try to drag the chart to a new position strange things happen. The mark (and other fixed objects like tide bars) seems to move in the opposite direction of the pointer.
5. If you select another chart from the chartbar it will be shown properly and if you return to 11553_1 it will be displayed properly.
6. I don't get this problem with 12205_6 which is only skewed slightly, 11553_1 is skewed about 90 deg.

I can confirm that this happens. Sadly since the fix is so easy I have failed to report it. I have noticed this for at least the last two years in both stable and git versions.

It looks like the "Route Manager>Waypoints>X>Center View" is not honoring the N up skew setting, and instead display the chart up setting. Click a chart in the chart bar and the global setting is activated again.

Should I enter a bug report ?

On another topic, about once a week O crashes. I usually try to reproduce and never am able to, but by then I don't have the crash report. Should I just send the crash report when it occurs?

[bdbcat]

wdkester....

Please send the crash reports as you generate them. They are useful, and I generally can find and fix real, though intermittent, problems by analysis of the dumps. The fixes usually appear quietly in the next Beta....

Thanks
Dave

wdkester/Cagney...

The "skew chart/Center View" problem referenced above is now corrected in github master. No need for a new Flyspray task.

Thanks
Dave

can you do something about speedo because it is definitely something wrong. above 25 kts is, let say, messy. I can do 56 full throttle.

Thanks

Yes, we can. The modification now in git should hopefully suite all the mojo sizes

Dave.. Sorry I did´nt catch it earlier but none of my POI´s are working in the latest version 3.3.1419. All my links show initially in blue but turn red when accessed,and then,NOTHING... Message says the POI will be opened in your default browser.
I do not set a default browser but use mainly Firefox. Is there a way to set your default browser in OCPN?
