Re: [Qgis-user] Couldn't load SIP module

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi Mike,

This Python error on the Flatpak version of QGIS (I'm using Ubuntu 20.10 
Groovy Gorilla) was preventing me from using the Processing Toolbox so I 
had to ditch QGIS flatpak. I couldn't get QGIS 3.16 working either as 
there wasn't/isn't a repository available for Groovy and I kept on 
getting dependency problems when using the QGIS Focal repository on 
Groovy. The only version of QGIS that I've been able to get working 
properly on Ubuntu is the development version QGIS 3.17 Master.


Regards, Frank.

I am no longer OK.  Apparently the TimeShift back
only temporarily fixes the problem.  So every plugin
available to me is this short list:
http://www.mflan.com/temp/plugins.jpg

All I can figure is most QGIS users don't use plugins
(not likely) or this problem is affecting less than
10% of QGIS users.  Otherwise I suspect this would be the
biggest issue discussed on the list.  I don't even know
what to work on - QGIS or Python.

I am on QGIS version 3.14.16-Pi.  I guess I will go forward -
to ver 3.16.0 at first, then backwards if necessary.  I would
welcome a 3.16.0 user who does not have this problem to
state that on this list.  I welcome any suggestions.

I am on Linux Mint 19.3.

Re: [Qgis-user] no package for ubuntu groovy gorilla

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi Fernando,

I tried your suggested edit of the source file and it gives dependency 
errors.


"The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 libqgis-app3.16.0 : Depends: libgsl23 (>= 2.5) but it is not installable
 libqgis-core3.16.0 : Depends: libprotobuf-lite17 but it is not installable
 qgis-plugin-grass : Depends: grass-core but it is not going to be 
installed

 Depends: grass782 but it is not installable
 qgis-providers : Depends: qtbase-abi-5-12-8 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."

Not sure what to do except wait until packages are available for groovy.

Regards, Frank.

   Hi all,


   As a temporary circumvention, you may try to edit the source file
(inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d/) and change the distro from groovy to
focal:

deb [arch=amd64] http://qgis.org/debian focal main

   It is possible that no dependency issue show up.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS 3.14.15 on Ubuntu

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi Nick,

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 with the repository "https://qgis.org/debian 
focal main" and version 3.14.15 of QGIS is installed. Not sure if you 
being on Ubuntu 18.04 is the issue.


Frank.

any sign of version 3.14.15 there yet.

Is this just for me or for everyone? This isn't a complaint by the way, I
did a fresh install on a new computer a month or so ago using the new
installation method and I just wanted to check that it will update as it
used to.

Best,
Nick.

Re: [Qgis-user] Show image time with Temporal Controller

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi,

Thanks for the tips everyone. I've added an expression to the Decoration 
Title that shows the date/time for each image in the format "2020-08-03 
14:00 UTC". This is the expression:


[% format_date((@animation_start_time + 
make_interval(hours:=(hour(@frame_duration) * 
@frame_number))),'-MM-dd HH:mm')%] UTC



There's probably a more efficient way of doing this but it works for me.

Frank.

Re: [Qgis-user] North arrow in QGIS

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi,

I think from a user point of view the north arrow is not considered to 
be an image so having a separate north-arrow item makes good sense. I 
find the current method of adding a north arrow confusing as it requires 
the user  to know the following:

(a) North arrows are not added by clicking "Add Arrow"
(b) North arrows are added by clicking "Add Picture"
(c) North arrows are in the "Search Directories" section of the image 
properties but this section is collapsed by default so the user has to 
know that they must open this section and then scroll to the north arrows


I don't find this very intuitive.

Regards, Frank.

Hi Hugo,

I was initially also puzzled by the fact there is no "north-arrow" 
item for the layout. But if you think about it a bit longer, than you 
realize, that it is just as efficient adding an image and synchronize 
the rotation to one chosen map, than it is to add a north-arrow, 
choose an image and synchronize it with a chosen map.


Do you really think, having a separate item for north-arrow is more 
efficient? How many clicks do you save by having a separate item?

Good day

I was wondering if there is a more efficient method for adding a

Something as simple as just clicking somewhere add -> north arrow, 
and then being able to choose various styles.


Is something like this available?

Thanks

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS Crashes on attempts to edit attribute table

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi Will,

You could try opening a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and running QGIS by typing 
in 'QGIS'. Then try editing a table and when/if QGIS crashes see if any 
meaningful message is shown in the terminal. This might provide a clue 
as to what's causing the crash.

Hi All,

When trying to change configuration of QGIS, I hit the 'Overview Panel'.

In all those years I use QGIS, I personally(!) never used it.

Do others use it actually, or is it maybe helpful in schools or beginner
classes?

Just wondering as it takes up 3 menu-items... :-)

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

Hi Anita, 

Can we start using the new logo immediately or should we wait until QGIS 3.0 is 
released?

Dear QGIS community, 

As you've surely noticed, we've been working hard on a new logo for QGIS: 
http://blog.qgis.org/2017/01/08/qgis-3-0-logo-voting-results/ 

All new logo materials are now published in a handy visual style guide that 
provides images and color codes for you to use: 
http://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/styleguide.html 

If you run a user group or create any materials for QGIS-related activities, 
please consider using the guidance in this visual style guide. 

We will be rolling out the new logo in the months leading up to the QGIS 3.0 
release and we are still looking for volunteers to share the effort. If you are 
interested in helping with, for example, a new poster, sticker, brochure, or 
letterhead design, please get in touch. 

Best wishes, 
Anita

Re: [Qgis-user] Clip tool no longer supports selections in 2.16?

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi Erik,

This is similar to a problem with the Intersect tool which was reported 
recently: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/15584


I remember experiencing the same problem with the clip tool in 2.16 but 
this has since been fixed in QGIS Master.

workaround), but the active selection is not used. Maybe broken? Erik.

[Qgis-user] Clip tool regression

[Frank Sokolic]

Dear list members,

There appears to be a regression in the clip tool accessible from the 
Vector > Geoprocessing Tools menu. In the past, the ftools version of 
the clip tool applied the clip operation to selected features only (if 
features were selected). This is no longer the case and the clip 
operation is now applied to all features, ignoring any selections. This 
applies to both the Input and Clip layers.


Does anyone confirm?

I'm using QGIS Master on Ubuntu 16.04.

Regards, Frank.

Re: [Qgis-user] OSGeo4W's QGIS Web Server install problem. “Not Found ... qgis_mapserv.fcgi”

Hi Dennis,

Did you actually rename qgis_mapserver.fgci.exe to remove the .exe 
extension? If not, try this as it worked for me.


Regards, Frank.

I have been spending days trying to start the “Apache OSGeo4W Web Server” on a Win7 
Professional SP 1.  I have no experience with Apache.  I have followed the tutorial 
steps from the QGIS Web Server wiki and Anita Graser's how-to and also other forum 
advice.  This has led me to upgrading from QGIS 2.4 to 2.6, then to QGIS 2.6 64bit.  
Lastly I upgraded Apache from 2.2 32bit to 2.4 64bit.  I finally get “It works!” from 
localhost/ using any combination of 32/64bit QGIS or Apache.  Trying 
“http://localhost/OSGeo4W64/apps/qgis/bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?SERVICE=WMSVERSION=1.3.0REQUEST=GetCapabilities”
 results in  “Not Found  The requested URL /OSGeo4W/apps/qgis/bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi was 
not found on this server.”   This is the error I get no matter what the combination of 
Apache and QGIS installs – and regardless of including “.exe” with the file name.

Some recommended actions I took may be obsolete with QGIS 2.6 or Apache 2.4.  I 
am trying to reduce my variables here and need help focusing on where the 
problems are:  The major adaptations I did, beyond updating .conf files to new 
Apache 2.4 format were:

1) Disabling references to fcgid and replacing them with cgi (in .conf files).  
On newer forum advice, I reverted back to fcgi.

2) Replacing backslashes with forward in file names as per Apache admonitions.  My 
confusion: original osgeo installs and forum examples have hybrid examples like 
C:\OSGeo4W/apps/ka-map-1.0.  Always with the backslash after C: and no 
documentation in sight as to the advantages of doing this, if any.

3) Following a forum advice to copy files from apps\Python27\Lib to 
apps\qgis\bin.

4) Upgrading to 64 bit Apache required copying application-specific .conf files 
from OSGeo4W\httpd.d directory to OSGeo4W64\httpd.d and updating the 
terminology.

5) In the URL for qgis_mapserver.fgci.exe, replacing “localhost” with 127.0.0.1 
or with my machine's tcp/ip #.

6) Using the latest version of mod_fcgid.so from Apache lounge.

Variables in httpd.conf appear to point to the correct directories/files.  I 
think relevant settings are:

Re: [Qgis-user] Format GETFEATUREINFO request from QGISwebserver

Hi Carles,

Have you tried experimenting with the map tip display tip in QGIS? In 
QGIS go to the layer properties, select Display and then enable 
HTML. You can then add html code to display the attribute values which 
should affect the format of your GetFeatureInfo request.

I've also uninstalled and reinstalled QGIS but it still crashes on

I wonder whether there has been a recent Ubuntu update that is causing a

Hi Jonathan,

I've been struggling with this too. Even if you set Border Width to zero the

ideal solution.

Re: [Qgis-user] it's posible to select units for scale bar?

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi Aitor,

You'll have to enable 'on the fly' transformation in the Project Properties and 
then choose a CRS that projects everything to a metres-based CRS, e.g. UTM. 
Once you've done this the scale bar in your composer will be in metres.

By the way, the ArcGIS scale bar you mention isn't accurate. ArcGIS will 
happily allow you to choose km or metres for your scale bar units even when you 
are using geographic coordinates for your data frame but the length of the 
scale bar will be WRONG. You can test this by using the measuring tool to 
measure the length as indicated by the scale bar - you'll get a different 
length.

My issue is simple, when I make a map with composer, if I use a 
geographic coordinate reference system, I can't select meters like 
units for scale bar. 

For me it's fine, but my boss don't understand degrees like measuring 
unit in the maps, and then it's a problem for me. I know that with 
arcgis software you can choose the units so it´s possible to do that. 

Would be difficult to incorporate it into future versions or something 
like a pluging? 

Congratulations for the program, it's great!! 

Hugs.

Hi Michael,

You can access the project properties by clicking the CRS status icon at 
the bottom right of your screen. It is the button that looks like a globe.


I'm running QGIS 1.8 / Ubuntu 12.04 and the project properties is also 
missing from the settings menu.

[Frank Sokolic]

Have you tried using the Sort option in the mmqgis plugin? I think that this 
will save your sort permanently.

 saving the shapefile the .dbf is not in numeric order, instead its in the 
 order that I digitised the data. Have tried this several different ways and 
 tried adding extra dummy features and saving again and with different 
 filenames but still they appear in sorted order in the attribute table but 
 then not in sorted order when you look at the .dbf. Also you can sort, do the 
 'save edits', then close that screen and reopen it and they will be unsorted 
 again. 
 Not entirely sure if this is supposed to happen or if it is a bug. 




This has to do with the way a shp file stores the data to begin with, 
once the order is set it's not easy to change since it's also the order 
matched to the shx and shp portions. 

That said though you don't need to do the matching yourself, the Join 
tool in the properties of the layer will take care of find the matches 
as long as the same key exists in both your attribute table and the 
table of additional data you want to add on. Note: I think this tool 
currently works for csv or dbf files, so save your additional data into 
that format with your spreadsheet app. 

Thanks, 
Alex

Re: [Qgis-user] ArcGIS 10 and QGIS 1.7

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi Christine,

I recently had a problem on Windows XP when I uninstalled 1.7, installed and 
uninstalled 1.6, and then installed QGIS 1.7 again. QGIS 1.7 kept on crashing 
and I eventually traced the problem to Trolltech keys in the registry. After 
removing Trolltech from the registry and then reinstalling 1.7 everything 
worked again.

Regards, Frank.

Subject: [Qgis-user] ArcGIS 10 and QGIS 1.7
Good evening all, have recently installed QGIS 1.7 on a Windows XP machine. It 
works really fine and I havn't met any difficulty until now. Thanks to this 
really engaged community ...  Should install a time limited version of ArcGIS 
10  for educational purposes now on the same machine. Should have better done 
this in another succession, I know. Remember some troubles mentioned in this 
list with ArcGIS beeing installed after QGIS, as ArcGIS also uses Python.  
Because I am now in worry about my clean QGIS installation, I am considering to 
uninstall QGIS 1.7, then install ArcGIS 10 and after all install QGIS 1.7 
again.  May I expect the uninstall process of QGIS beeing complete enough not 
to get another trouble after a second installation of QGIS 1.7 ?  Thanks for an 
advice,and regards,Christine

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS 1.7 Does not load after installation

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi Nome,

Have you tried installing QGIS with administrator rights? Right-click on 
the installation file and select 'run as administrator'. Install the 
program that way and see if it solves your problem.


Another thing you can try: I once had a problem where QGIS wouldn't load 
and eventually tracked the problem down to the program nircmd.exe which 
is used to run the batch file that launches QGIS. The antivirus software 
on the computer in question was flagging nircmd as a virus and 
preventing it from running. Maybe this is the cause of your problem? Try 
double-clicking the qgis.bat file in the qgis folder to see if you can 
run it that way.

Hi Duarte,

In both cases the QGIS just dosent load/launch. Double click on the

still dosen't work.

  For our windows 7 PC we did install version 1.6 before and perhaps it
is indeed a previous dll. So should i try deleting qtcore4.dll?. Any
other i need to delete?. I am currently at home and will try to follow
any instructions once i get back to work tomorrow. Its currently 1:46

Thanks for the help.

Re: [Qgis-user] change CRS of layer

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi Walter,

In QGIS 1.6 you can set the layer CRS in the layer properties. Open the layer 
properties and go to the General tab - you will see a button labelled 'Specify 
CRS'.


If your layer already has a CRS specified and you want to save it to another 
CRS: right-click on the layer name and select the 'Save as' option. You can 
then specify the CRS for the new layer.

Subject: [Qgis-user] change CRS of layer
Tho i gather that one should be able to declare which CRS to use on a 
particular layer, i seem to be missing the control(s -no mention of CRS in the 
Layer menu, nor in the contextual menu that pops up when i right-click on a 
layer) that should provide such functionality. 

Is anybody experiencing the same? I am running version 1.6.0, which asserts 
itself to be the current version (when i Check QGIS version from the Help 
menu).

[Qgis-user] nircmd flagged as a virus

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi all,

When using the Windows installer for QGIS 1.6 the shortcuts that are 
generated use nircmd.exe to execute a batch file called qgis.bat, which 
in turn loads and runs QGIS. However, I've noticed that some Windows 
anti-virus programs flag nircmd.exe as a virus and prevent the QGIS 
shortcuts from working. This can cause alarm amongst new users of QGIS 
and I've had people tell me they don't trust Quantum GIS because it is 
a virus.


What is the reason for using nircmd? Would it not be better to run the 
batch file directly instead of running it via nircmd?

[Qgis-user] Creating attributes for New Vector Layers

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi all,
When creating attributes for new vector layers the Type drop-down list shows 
three options: Text data, Whole number, Decimal number. However, the attributes 
list displays these as String, Integer and Real. I have found that new users of 
QGIS find this slightly confusing. Could I offer two possible suggestions?
1. In the Type drop-down list rather show the options as: Text data (String), 
Whole number (Integer), Decimal number (Real). In this way users familiar with 
either nomenclature can understand what type of atribute is being created.
2. Another option would be to standardise both the drop-down list and the 
atributes list so that they use either one or the other nomenclature.
I prefer option 1. Any thoughts?
Frank.

Re: [Qgis-user] how to display polygons from qgis in google earth?

Hi,

You do this from within QGIS: right-click on the layer name in the Table 
of Contents and  choose the 'Save as' option. Then specify the format as 
'Keyhole Markup Language' and the CRS as wgs84.

Hi Jim,

You can export the table from Access as a csv text file. Then you can 
use the QGIS delimited text plugin to import the CSV file and display 
the XY data.

This happened to me once and seemed to be because the csv file was open

the csv file in QGIS.

[Qgis-user] Using QGIS for training courses

[Frank Sokolic]

For many years I have given training in GIS using proprietary software 
(mainly ArcGIS) but for a course I co-presented last week I decided to 
try FOSS GIS software instead. This was not only because we wanted a GIS 
that was intuitive and easy to learn but also because we wanted to give 
participants a copy of the software and training data to take home with 
them afterwards.


The course, GIS for Disaster Management, ran over five days at the 
University of the Free State in Bloemfontein and was presented entirely 
with Quantum GIS. The participants used QGIS to develop management plans 
for various possible disasters, e.g. campus shootings, bomb scares, 
chemical spills. They also used the GPS Tools plugin to download their 
GPS data straight into QGIS - things like evacuation routes, assembly 
areas, risk zones, etc. The great thing about using QGIS was that IT 
JUST WORKED and the participants were able to process and analyse all 
the data they collected. They also used QGIS to produce all the maps 
illustrating the disaster management plans they developed.


After having such a positive experience with Quantum GIS I'll certainly 
be using it again for future courses.
