To get plug-in using Bionic, replace Bionic by Xenial in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opencpn-opencpn-bionic.list
Then apt-get update
Then the usual command : apt-get install .....


worked on my Linux Mint Bionic

Thanks - got the plug-in installed.

So, I've now got 4.8.6 installed with ENC's running on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
I'm connected to my Vesper 8K for AIS and GPS via TCP.
I've downloaded the Navico radar module.
The system is not stable.
OpenCPN crashes repeatedly.
The AIS/GPS only works intermittently.
Should I consider deprecating the OS to 16.04?

I do have some Chrome crashes from time to time with a known bug.

Thoughts?

I've installed Ubuntu 18.04. But unable to get OpenCPN installed.

The error messages include "Cannot resolve ppa". I've tried both opencpn/opencpn and bdbcat/opencpn repositories.

Help appreciated.

could you execute this?

 grep -R ppa /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Yes, it executes then attempting an install gives as shown on the image.

I'm using two machine so will type the output here as cannot copy and paste.

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/opencpn-ubuntu-opencpn-bionic.list:deb Index of /opencpn/opencpn/ubuntu bionic main\
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/opencpn-ubuntu-opencpn-bionic.list:# deb-src Index of /opencpn/opencpn/ubuntu bionic main


Thanks, Terry

I don't understand , why it's so difficult for you


Edit your Opencpn Sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opencpn-ubuntu-opencpn-bionic.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/opencpn/opencpn/ubuntu bionic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/opencpn/opencpn/ubuntu bionic main

I see in your output a "\" for example


After that

apt update
apt install opencpn

Besides not being familiar with Linux I may have a hardware problem.


Will continue to explore but not bother you anymore.


Thanks for your time.

I reinstalled Ubuntu and all is working now.

Have good install of 4.8.6 with logbook plugin.

Trying to install "FindIt" plugin.
This is what I get:

sudo apt-get install opencpn-plugin-findit
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Depends: wx2.8-i18n but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

What do I need to do to get this installed?
Thanks!

This is for internationalization I believe, but also looks like it is dependent on widgets too.

wx2.8-i18n but it is not installable

Peter Tulp may have to fix it somehow.

[samoorelex]

Thanks - I'll wait and see. Looks like a very useful plug-in.

@samoorelex

The package for the FindIt plugin is currently broken. The reason is that it has not yet been updated to wx3*. It is built for wx2.8* which OpenCPN used a few years back. Either you wait for "nohal" to find time to rebuild it, or you recompile it yourself for 4.8.6. It's fairly straight forward, if you're in to compiling. I just tested on Ubuntu 16.04. See attachment for 64 bits . As usual you have to rename the file by deleting the ".pdf" extension.
