Upgrade OpenCPN to 5.6.0 Raspberry Pi

[bdbcat]

Wm...
"deprecated", in linux-speak, means that this function most likely still works, but will be removed in some future edition.


In you case, it did work:

gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

So I think the signatures are fine.



Please show: /etc/apt/sources.list (again).


Thanks

Hi Bram,

Where can I find and modify the server address of OpenCPN in Synaptic?

When I look at the ' Origin' menu, I only see ' *raspberrypi.org' addresses.
In the Properties of the 5.2.4 OpenCPN package I see no server information as far as I can see.

In fact I installed the OpenCPN from the RPI-OS base. because it appeared that it was included in the RPI-OS base-SW.
Maybe that could be the problem that I have to add a new repository?


Regards,
Wim

Hi Bram,

I just found the menu: 'Setings -> Repositories.

There is indeed the repository for OpenCPN:

URL: http://ppa.launchpad.net/opencpn/ubuntu/
Distirbution: focal
Section: main
Checkbox is checked OK (v)

The only thing I notice is that this URL have only one line 'deb' and no second line with '
deb-src' , as the others do have.

Regards,
Wim

Additionally I found that if I do a ' Edit -> Reload Package Information, I see the same errors as before:

" Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/opencpn/ubu...ocal/InRelease 403 Forbidden [IP: 2001:67c:1560:8008::19 80]The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/opencpn/ubuntu focal InRelease' is not signed."

Do you see number/code appearing ?

Then you can do the following:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys (number/code here)

Wim...

I think the URL of the repository you are using is wrong (It seem Launchpad URLs in general changed since I last looked).

Check the repository definition in your sources list is exactly like this:

deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/opencpn/opencpn/ubuntu focal main

Wim...
Pavel is correct. Take a look at this detail:


https://launchpad.net/~opencpn/+archive/ubuntu/opencpn


Look at "Technical details about this PPA"

Hi Dave and " nohal" ,

That was the golden tip, I used the repository addresses as stated in the manual., and now it appears that these are invalid for focal.

After following the Technical details from
https://launchpad.net/~opencpn/+archive/ubuntu/opencpn

All works fine now.
I managed to install OpenCPN without problems now.

Thanks to you and all other advises this problem is solved!
Don't know who should do that, but it would be a good thing to update the manual to this matter I suppose?

Wim

For those whom this interests: I have RPi4 with Buster running, and installed OpenCPN last year (v5.2).


Due to o-charts new policy they require a new plugin (o-charts instead of S63, oeRenc and oeSenc) but that requires OpenCPN v5.6.


I read some quite alarming messages about this upgrade being problematic so, not being a computer whizz, I decided to work step by step:


1. make an image of my SSD through Rpi/Tools/SD card copier
2. open command line tool
3. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
4. sudo apt install flatpak (I did this just because this was told to do somewhere in this thread; installation succesful)

5. flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
...same as 4, but his did not work: error message (I did not copy it), even after reboot

6. read https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/do...pak:background
7. flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/repo/appstrea...CPN_flatpakref
...this gave an error, did not work; sorry forgot to copy error text; even after reboot and retry, still error



So basically flatpak somehow did get installed but not its OpenCPN repository. I have no idea what this flatpak actually does in my Rpi


8. I decided to give this simply a try (from Wim55 post #8)

sudo apt-get install opencp


To my amazement 5.6.2 did get downloaded and installed. I restarted, clicked not on the old desktop icon but on the program icon in Rpi/Grafical/OpenCPN and there it was: 5.6.2


My question:
Why install flatpak, and what does it do in my Rpi? I have a hunch this flatpak did not do anything to the openCPN upgrade in my case?

Because there are no 3rd party plugins available for what you installed now. And won't be for some more time.

[brice3010]

Hi nohal, I think I do not understand.
1. what are 3de party plugins and do you refer to flatpak?
2. why is it recommended here by knowledgeable people to install flatpak and why does it seem not to have mattered for me?


PS: I am an Rpi novice

Plugins not distributed with the core OpenCPN application

Because otherwise you do not have access to the 3rd party plugins

and why does it seem not to have mattered for me?

It did matter for you, you do not have access to the 3rd party plugins now.

[brice3010]

Hi nohal, what would be 3rd party plugins for Opencpn? If o-charts is 3rd party, I do have that in my 5.6.2 opencpn..?

Plugins not distributed with the core OpenCPN application. Only 4 plugins are distributed with the application. There are many more plugins available from the 3rd party developers. These plugins are not distributed with the core application. An they are mostly not available for your system at the moment. They would be available if you were using the flatpak version.

If o-charts is 3rd party, I do have that in my 5.6.2 opencpn..?

O-charts is 3rd party and I think it might be the only 3rd party plugin available for your platform, which you can sure confirm in the plugin manager.

[brice3010]

Yes o-charts plugin is available in my opencpn.


And many others too. So this would then be the flatpak opencpn version?
