Ubuntu, OpenCPN 5.6.0, no Radar Plugin

[SerialHobbyist]

I used the PPA to install version 5.6.0 of OpenCPN on Ubuntu 21.10.


I used the "Update Plugin Catalog: master" button.


The only plugins that show up are the 4 default plugins.


I want the radar plugin for the Navico Halo, but it does not show up.

If you use the flatpak 5.6 version then the OpenCPN plugins are allready available. Including the radar plug.

For the flatpak setup you need 64 bits OS. RaspiOS64 based on Debian Bullseye p.a..

Bram,
I have the same problem running Open CPN 5.6.0 on an M1 Chip MacBook Pro. Open CPN is running fine, but it doesn't have the radar plugin. I downloaded Radar-Plugin_5.0.4-ov50.pkg from the web and ran it and it says it installed the plugin on Macintosh HD but I don't see it anywhere so can't go to Open CPN/Options/Plugins/Install and then navigate to that site. Is that even the correct thing to do and if so do you have any idea where the plugin to be "installed" is actually y stored. I have a SIMRAD Novice 4G radar.

Correction, I have the SIMRAD Navico 4G radar
