Jake, Thanks for sharing! I'm forwarding to the Osgeo live mailinglist.
Johan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jake Joel <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 4:10 PM Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Live To: [email protected] Hello All, I’m a graduate student in the South Dakota State University Image Processing Lab, studying Electrical Engineering and Remote Sensing. I wanted to introduce myself to the group, and say I really appreciate all of your contributions to the open-source geospatial community. The numerous apps that are available through the foundation have helped me greatly in the past few months, and I don’t think I could have done the analysis I wanted to without your help. Big Thank You! Secondly, I am very interested in helping the cause and contributing in any way that I can. I am not quite at the level where I think I could actually develop any software, but I have convinced my research lab to start using the OSGeo Live 7.0 distribution in a VM ware, with the hopes of getting rid of Windows & Matlab altogether. With that, we have found some strange bugs when trying to update everything to the latest & greatest; we eventually found it had something to do with both the zygrib & otb dependencies. One of my colleges seems to have found a work around, so I thought I would share: sudo sed -i -e 's_.*_#&_' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zygrib.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/otb-bin_3.20.0-0ppa~precise1_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/libotb3.20_3.20.0-0ppa~precise1_i386.deb sudo apt-get install -f sudo reboot now By issuing these commands, it seems we can update the system. Without some of these terms, eventually our VM always crashes due to conflicting dependencies from the PPA repo. We thought we should let you know, as our first ‘contribution’ to the cause. My apologies that it really doesn’t fix anything, but it might be a good conversation starter! We’ll keep an eye out for places we can help. Looking forward to participating in the open-source revolution. :-) Thanks, Jake Brinkmann GRA, Image Processing Laboratory South Dakota State University [email protected] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Live-demo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo http://live.osgeo.org http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc
