Raspberry Pi w/ OpenCPN

BTW Microsoft win10 allows you to control updates and even disable them until you are on shore with a good connection. Which I generally do.

But when you are near the shore you are not able to switch off the unannounced updates. With changes to your system. Recently a message from Actisense, that there recent driver did no longer worked after an Windows W10 update.

How about MS looking in your system unattendend and gain access to your data. Not only telematric data but also text and other files. The owner of your system lives in Redmond.

Not sure I prefer another company from C. which denies me a lot of things which I may want to do with the system I bought because of their system of preventative measures before the fact.

Agree though, forced updates are never nice.

Auto-update on Windows can be disabled easily. Just Google!

The thing that bothers me are stupid statements like:
"How about MS looking in your system unattendend and gain access to your data. Not only telematric data but also text and other files. The owner of your system lives in Redmond."

This is wappie behavior, I don't mind if you are thinking it but don't put those statements in public fora.

Yep it can, but unfortunately not indefinitely afaik. Apart from that I'm a happy win10 user. Works fine for me.

The Dutch governament have given an independent research company the task to look at the MS data collecting from the Win10 systems. This information is send encrypted to the MS servers.

The idea was, it is only for telemetric purposes to see of the systems works well. But is goes much further. Also other details, even textfiles are unseen uploaded.

Also changes are made to your software. Your prefered browser is suddenly changed to the MS browser Edge.

In the past a lot of GPS mouses did no longer work after the update. That could be resolved to use the old firmware. Next update the working firmware was removed again.

What if your navigation software stops working because of an update by MS ?

Switching off the upgrades is almost impossible.

No information is given what is updated or removed.

Your navigation systems must be reliable with no interference from unattended upgrades.

This is for commercial reasons, don't you think so?

The rest is more perception and not reality. Again, not for this forum or thread.

Ps, if you disable the update service, MS won't do auto-updates anymore unless a new version is installed (manually!)

[verkerkbr]

Do a simple search on Google to find out what is grabbed from your system. Win10 data collection.

Give details where to find a methode to shut-off this unattented updates permanently.

If drivers for navigation equipment suddenly do no longer work after the upgrade, the OS is not fit for navigation.

Just for fun..
After a resent Rasbian update the Openplotter moitessier-hat was no longer working. We had to await a Rocco update.
So, MS is in "good company".

Hi Hakan, that can sometimes happen. But you are the boss of your RaspiOS and computer system and choose what and when to upgrade.

And important, the RaspiOS don't look in your system what your doing, your contacts, the visited sites, your keystrokes and so on and on.

But as a user you can not cannot complain, because you have agreed with the conditions in the Eula. Software as a service, for the user or ?

Regards,


Bram

[Hakan]

Bram..
Yes you're of course correct. We all have agreed to every conditions. No doubts. Read or not. All use of a system made by others are by choice, that's up to each and every one to find what fits.

Hi all, i had a perfectly operating copy of OpenCPN on the micro card, I did a full install of RaspberryOS when i upgraded to a SSD. Now when i try to reload a fresh copy of OpenCPN i get this response.

sudo apt install opencpn
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package opencpn is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'opencpn' has no installation candidate
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

Anybody have any suggestions?

As always, I thought a SSD drive in a Argon 1 M2 casr would be just the ticket on my sailboat but.....

best to all
Jay

Thank you! I thought I had replied this morning, but I don’t see the response. I did as you suggested, option 3, all good now.

I'm trying to install OpenCPN on a PI3.
I'm following install instructions found on the site.
The last cmd gives me errors I can't fix.
------
sudo apt-get install opencpn
Lettura elenco dei pacchetti... Fatto
Generazione albero delle dipendenze
Lettura informazioni sullo stato... Fatto
Alcuni pacchetti non possono essere installati. Questo può voler dire
che è stata richiesta una situazione impossibile oppure, se si sta
usando una distribuzione in sviluppo, che alcuni pacchetti richiesti
non sono ancora stati creati o sono stati rimossi da Incoming.
Le seguenti informazioni possono aiutare a risolvere la situazione:

I seguenti pacchetti hanno dipendenze non soddisfatte:
opencpn : Dipende: libcurl3 (>= 7.16.2) ma non è installabile
Dipende: libwxgtk-webview3.0-0v5 (>= 3.0.2+dfsg) ma non è installabile
Raccomanda: xcalib ma non sta per essere installato
Raccomanda: opencpn-doc ma non sta per essere installato
E: Impossibile correggere i problemi, ci sono pacchetti danneggiati bloccati.
------

Any help ?
Tnx
