Hi Angelos,
thanx a lot for the hint. It works!

This is now indeed the third variation of a working setup in a row.
We already had to enable three repositories, then two, and now it's only
one. Unfortunately the instructions on the download page never manage to
reflect those changes.


I think they do, (or at least we try) but for Ubuntu/Debian there are
just a lot of possible options, and trying to describe that clearly [0]
apparently does not make it really easier, just because of all the
possible options and/or combinations.


The download page for debian/ubuntu reflects the coders motto: Minimize  
the code!
But people who are not used to read code have really difficulties getting  
the picture there.


1. I am confident, that the biggest part of Ubuntu users would like to  
have a release with the same features as they have if using the installer  
on Windows. The offered release (http://qgis.org/debian) does not do this.  
This is not mentioned anywhere that it lacks features. People have to find  
out by themselves.


2. "Release with ubuntugis dependencies" is as cryptic as it can be. But  
it is simply the version most people expect to receive. A full sentence of  
what the differences between the repositories are would not let the page  
explode. Maybe mention that MrSID and ECW is not supported in contrary to  
Windows due to legal issues (and that you have to compile stuff to get it)


3. The instructions to add the ubuntugis functions are outdated for  
several releases already. I remember it worked with the  
ubuntugis-repository plus the ppa. The next version, I had to add as well  
the debian-repository. The next time, I had to remove  debian again. Now  
it seems it works with the ubuntugis repository only, and no ppa.


If you do not give those explanations, where should they come from then?
Have mercy and simply add more text. Form follows function. If the  
function breaks the form of the page, then maybe change the design.


I love QGIS and appreciate all your work!
Bernd




If somebody comes up with a better text, please do. Maybe split up
Ubuntu and Debian in two different blocks?

And as usual: not working (for you?) please provide a full better
working alternative :-) we are happy to add information that would make
it more clear.

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS communication platforms

[Alex M]

I'd recommend to whoever does pickup social media tasks, that there are
tools that will allow you to cross post news to all of them from 1
interface (and even schedule the posts).

Hootsuite, Buffer, etc...

Just might help to make it more manageable at least for things like
release announcements. Might even be able to redirect RSS of those
announcements from main website to social media.

Enjoy,
Alex

[QGIS-it-user] CRASH Qgis 2.16 bar calculator

[falcerisim...@inwind.it]

Salve a tutti,
uso W7 32bit Qgis_2.16.0

Ho notato che nella tabella degli attributi di layer postgis, in edit_mode, 
anziché aprire il Calcolatore di campi,
uso la bar calculator, immetto un valore qualsiasi e applicando uno dei due 
pulsanti "Aggiornamento filtrato/selezionato";
manda Qgis in minidump.
Lo stesso uso della bar calculator invece funziona bene con SHP, Spatialite...
Nelle precedenti versioni di Qgis, bar calculator regolare.

Gentilmente potete verificare e segnalare?
Grazie e cordiali saluti

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS unable to overlay data with OTF CRS transformations

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi, 
The easiest way for now is to simply save the layer in the other CRS ( "save 
as" and reproject the file) so that both have the same CRS. Then, you 
don't need to use OTF. 
Ultimately, a fix for OTF would be best but I believe, complicated from what I 
have read as this relies, If I understand correctly, on libraries external to 
QGIS.

Hi, I have a dataset in EPSG:4326 which is a 0-360 degree longitude 
space (which EPSG tells me is a valid use of this projection). I also have one 
in EPSG:3994 (Mercator 41). QGIS cannot correctly display both of these 
together in a single map. If I use a project CRS of EPSG:4326 the initial 
dataset renders correctly, but the EPSG:3994 dataset breaks at 180 degrees. If 
I use a project CRS of EPSG:3994, then the situation is reversed. The 
fundamental issue is a discontinuity at 180 degrees longitude. Most lat/long 
datasets I use around 180 (most of what I do) are 0-360 so they natively plot 
correctly. Im not discussing the issues of polygons across 180 ( 0) 
degrees longitude - this is a more complex issue. Points  lines, however 
are more straightforward (Ha!) There is a Postgis function ST_Shift_Longitude() 
which toggles between -180  0-360 longitude spaces for coords in the 
W hemisphere. An ideal solution would perhaps be to have a similar user 
specified toggle in QGIS for datasets (or projects) with units degrees, to 
switch the applied (as opposed to recorded) X coordinate between these. This 
would allow the EPSG:4326 dataset to be switched to a -180 space before 
the coords are sent to Proj for transforming,  the EPSG:3994 dataset to be 
presented in a 0-360 space in a project using the EPSG:4326 CRS. Ive no 
idea how difficult this might be to implement, possibly a pretty fundamental 
paradigm shift in how coordinates  CRSs are managed... but it would 
be nice if QGIS was one of the first GIS tools to start addressing this issue 
:-) Any comments/suggestions as to how this issue could best be addressed?

You feel that to participate in the community of an open source tool I must 
sign up to a proprietary service who will track and advertise to me (of which 
none of the advertising revenue goes to qgis)? What happens in a few years when 
something else becomes the new hotness? What happens when Facebook becomes even 
more evil? Why do you want people tracking you all the time? Why are you OK 
forcing other people into luxury jails?

Mats,

what's the problem here? No need for flames.

Does anybody refused your help in spreading the word on FB?

I'm not on FB and I will probably never be, but I've absolutely nothing
against you promoting QGIS on FB, if you feel like doing it, just do it.

What I don't understand is why you criticize this ML, if you don't find it
useful or you don't like it, just unsubscribe.

Re: [QGIS-it-user] problemi_con_processing

[Andrea Mandarino]

dopo ogni installazione, vedendo che i moduli di grass non funzionavano, ho
disinstallato e reinstallato l'altra, proprio per non avere mai più di una
versione.
I comandi si vedono e tutto è abilitato, il problema è la cartella msys che
non è stata creata durante l'installazione e nelle opzioni del processing,
proprio per abilitare l'utilizzo dei comandi di grass, è richiesto di
specificare il percorso della cartella di grass (e questo è ok) e di msys.
scusate se forse mancava qualche dettaglio alla prima mail.

[Qgis-user] Distance calculation between nodes

[Pat Hin]

Hello, 
i have a general questions regards to run some analysis in QGIS.i am going to 
calculate the distance between the starting points (in WGS84) for the same 
street submitted by two different map vendors.The result should be in an 
analytical way in [m]
Is that possible? and if yes by which module or which way it would be thebest 
and easiest way to do?

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS Sponsor Offer

[Mats Elfström]

Just to clarify:
1/ I have volunteered many hours trying to install QGIS Server but failed.
I wanted to document the process and offer that to the community.
I tried to piece together and use the fragments of information that can be
found on the subject, but it became too much trial and error and pure
guesswork. At one point, I had it running, but with the mentioned
guesswork, I could not stand for the validity of that installation process.
I concluded that I am missing information which probably is exclusive to
the author of the software.
2/ I am not asking for help for my personal needs. I offered a platform for
someone more clever than me to be able to provide documentation to  qgis.org
3/ IIS is not required. Feel free to choose any web server, but the
installation manual must cover the installation and configurationof the web
server as well.

Regards, Mats.E

Re: [Qgis-user] Value relation option in QGIS

[Chris Buckmaster]

Hi Andreas

Yes I think the value map option might suit my needs better from what I can 
see, thanks very much for your response!

Hi Chris,

There is the "Value Map" alternative, which loads the value and descriptions 
from an existing layer and you can remove that value layer afterwards. The 
drawback is that it isn't a "live link". So if you change your value table you 
have to manually resync the data. The values and descriptions are then stored 
in the project and exported/loaded with the style.

-

There is a project just about to be started that more intelligently loads data 
from PostgreSQL (project generator). But this won't be available until 2017. 
Meanwhile, if your data is in PostgreSQL, you can also use the "Data driven 
input mask" plugin from Bernhard Ströbl - which does exactly that, but from a 
Python plugin.

Greetings,

Andreas

There will be occasions where a user will want to add the spatial layer from 
the PostGIS connection, but they wouldn't necessarily know that other tables 
need to be added as well which link to that.

Hi Chris,

Yes - you need both tables in the QGIS project. I usually create a separate

[Qgis-user] Value relation option in QGIS

[Chris Buckmaster]

Hi

I have a field in a PostGIS table for which I would only like the user to be 
able to select a pre-defined value.

Along with my table, I have created a separate PostGIS table listing out those 
values that I would like the user to be able to select. I filled out the 
options within the value relation widget for my layer, but have found that when 
I bring my table back into my project after saving it, I am unable to see any 
options in the drop down menu it shows (I saved my style when I set the value 
relation widget properties).

The error I get is regarding permission denied for the sequence (as I have a 
primary key field in my main table, although I have made sure the user has all 
access).

Just wondering what possible issues I might be having? Do I need my non spatial 
table in the project as well? I can provide any further information as required.

Thanks, Chris

I am not sure if Facebook is our target audience. Isn't this more for
the kids? 

However, if someone volunteers to work on that - feel free to do it. 

On Twitter there is probably more news on QGIS - but I agree with Strk
that the mailing lists should be our primary channels - properly archive
- no restrictions - free for everyone without having to pay with your
personal data.

Hi Mats,

Thanks for your offer.

I hereby forward your email to the PSC, who is in charge of reacting on
these kind of requests... there is just too much communication going on
to see everything...

But in general: it's not hardware that is a 'problem'. It is
volunteership of people, who want to invest their time to dive into the
specifics of Windows 2012 R2 and IIS in combi with QGIS Server, and keep
that information up to date...

Note, we have:

http://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/ogc_server_support.html
And http://demo.qgis.org/ which runs QGIS-Server in docker containers
using
https://github.com/kartoza/docker-qgis-server

We could setup something like that on your server too?

So personally speaking: it is best if you provide (also) man-hours to do
the Windows administration.

BUT if there is somebody listening who wants to offer "Windows time or
knowledge"!

Please let us or Mats know!

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

Yes, and not even translated, ugly isn't it that Facebook ;-)

Do I smell a volunteer here? Because THAT is the problem with the newer
communication channels: it's just too easy to start (Google Plus,
Twitter, Facebook etc etc etc), but harder to keep them going

We are all volunteers you know...

Re: [Qgis-user] Backing up GIS Data

[Jonathan Moules]

On top of the excellent suggestions that have come out of this thread, it's 
worth stating that a backup is worthless if it is untested.

You should regularly test backups to ensure you can restore from them; this 
applies to all backups. There are plenty of horror stories out there from 
organisations/people that kept "backups" they never tested, and when they 
needed them they were corrupt or otherwise not what they should have been.
So be sure test your backups! :-)

Cheers,
Jonathan

  I'm normally using the "Custom/binary" format, because it's the fastest 
method to do the backup/restore cycle.
 When I'm creating/ structuring a new spatial database, I always leave the 
"public" schema alone and put data in another schema created for that purpose.
 When doing a backup for the purpose of moving a database, I only backup the 
aforementioned *data* schema, *not* the "public" schema, thus avoiding taking 
backup of hundreds of PostGIS functions residing in schema "public". This makes 
it easier to move spatial data from one PostGIS-enabled database to another 
without annoying errors.
 And - just as you - I use the "plain" format when it's necessary to make some 
changes to the structure or fields  with a text editor during the move of the 
database.

   As an old GIS database dog -
  It's a wise and smart decision to use Postgres/PostGis for storing and using 
spatial data.
 
 As for backup: Do *exactly* as Jeff writes :-). "Point in time" backups are 
nice, but not the best backup solution for Postgres databases. Jeff's solution 
is.

 Hi Tyler, 
 
 This is a good question, and an important one, and don't feel bad about 
posting it here - likely we can all learn from this discussion, as it 
definitely involves the whole QGIS community. 
 
 I have quite a lot of experience backing up databases, especially 
PostgreSQL/PostGIS databases.  I can tell you that it is for sure important to 
run "pg_dump" as a daily backup (in addition to your whole server image/backup) 
- that pg_dump has saved me and my clients hundreds of times, and it is very 
portable and easy to access (as opposed to your whole image/machine backup).  
One very important point (that's I've learned from experience) when using 
pg_dump is to *always* use the custom binary/compressed output format (the 
"--format=c" commandline switch for pg_dump).  I've had   
 I have always used the default "plain" format for pg_dump backups. When time 
comes to migrate data to a new installation, it allows me to edit the SQL 
backup file: restore only some of the tables, change owners, schema names, even 
change the database name. This is just a minor convenience. Am I making a 
mistake? Should I move to the binary format to insure reliability?   
 
 Thanks
  terrible times with the other output format types, especially when restoring 
a database from a Windows server to a Linux server etc (with hardcoded paths 
inside the backup).  I live by that format, swear by it, from experience, 
moving so many client databases from one machine to another. 
 
 Another mailing list to keep in mind is the PostGIS mailing list, where these 
backup topics also pop up from time to time - and discussions are more 
geo-related, so are very helpful, than just the generic PostgreSQL mailing 
list. 
 
 So, definitely implement an additional backup process using pg_dump (you can 
experiment restoring it through the "pg_restore" command), you won't regret the 
effort spent. 
 
 Happy QGIS-ing, 
 
 -jeff

It's not by chances that it is centry-old, contrary to all these

Quality is more important than quantity.

[QGIS-it-user] problemi_con_processing

[Andrea Mandarino]

Buongiorno a tutti,
vi chiedo gentilmente aiuto in merito a problemi di installazione.
Ho provato ad installare su win7 qgis 2.14 long term release, sia 32 che 64
bit, e ho anche provato ad installare il pacchetto osgeo4win 64 bit ma in
tutti i casi ho un problema con il processing di grass (nessuno dei moduli
funziona, né di grass 6. né di grass 7.0.4).
Devo specificare il percorso della cartella msys ma non si è creata nessuna
cartella msys durante l'installazione.
Inoltre durante le installazioni delle versioni precedenti appariva anche
l'icona (collegamento) msys, cosa che questa volta non è accaduta.
Come posso fare?
Grazie mille
Andrea Mandarino

Nope, not a silly one, but also not trivial to fix, as the list is
populated based on the capabilities of your used OGR library...

And indeed, your last choice is remembered in the Setting key
'UI/lastVectorFileFilter', which you can see when you open the 'Advanced
Settings Editor' in your options.

Apperently when this key is not present (when a new configuration/user
starts QGIS), it opens with the first option:
"All files (*)"
which is currently set as default, see

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/providers/ogr/qgsogrprovider.cpp#L2302

while you would want it to be:
"ESRI Shapefiles (*.shp *.SHP)"

We (as QGIS ) could set another type of file as default ogr vector
format (though I do not want to start the discussion which one :-) ):

Or you could create a startup python file which hardcoded can set this
'UI/lastVectorFileFilter' value at startup of QGIS (thereby overriding
the remembering part of QGIS). Please let me know if you want me to show
this to you (haven't tried it myself) ...

I do not think there is an easy way to make the number of filetypes
smaller...

Regards,

Richard

I think they do, (or at least we try) but for Ubuntu/Debian there are
just a lot of possible options, and trying to describe that clearly [0]
apparently does not make it really easier, just because of all the
possible options and/or combinations.

If somebody comes up with a better text, please do. Maybe split up
Ubuntu and Debian in two different blocks?

And as usual: not working (for you?) please provide a full better
working alternative :-) we are happy to add information that would make
it more clear.
