[Xastir] RasPi upgrade continued ...

2017-08-27 Thread Dexter N Muir 

More to the saga.
I'd thought the disappeary-most of the Panel might have been my Pi's 
setup - I'd set the screen resolution via the Configuration Manager to 
CEA Mode 31. I found /boot/config.txt set to this where I'd usually set 
it *there* to mode 16. The difference is only 60Hz vs 50Hz, so that 
wasn't it (it didn't *look* different).
It seems xastir is fixated on having the Panel at the bottom of the 
screen. Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) normally sets up with the Panel at the 
top, and one gets used to it, if only as a point of difference. This 
means that a fresh install of xastir will stoke up sitting at the top of 
the screen, obliterating the Panel, and leaving room below where it 
assumes the Panel will be. None of the Pi's Panel menus are then 
available, including the ability to sanely shut down/reboot! That can of 
course be accomplished by Ctrl-Alt-F2..6 and e.g. 'sudo reboot now' at 
the new login and command line, but it shouldn't be necessary.
Having dragged the xastir window down to reveal the Panel and fill the 
bottom of the screen, all is now well, but I'd prefer not to be trapped 
by this and have to go through the 'hoop-la' at each upgrade (Pi or 
xastir). Either is quite likely to be infrequent enough (xastir is still 
the long-running 2.0.9!) that one can easily forget and be trapped by 
this afresh.

Re: [Xastir] Problems following Raspbian upgrade to Stretch

2017-08-27 Thread Lee Bengston 
The manual installation procedure for Raspian Jessie should work.  The
"shortcut/build script" doesn't support Stretch yet, so I would not run
that.  If it's run as is it will install the package set for the older
Wheezy version and will probably cause problems.  I would skip gdal - you'l
never need it.

Re: [Xastir] Problems following Raspbian upgrade to Stretch

2017-08-27 Thread David Ranch 


I imagine your version of Xastir was compiled wit gdal 1.x where as it 
seems Stretch now comes with gdal v2.x.  Seems like it's time to 
recompile Xastir to use the newer libraries and yes, the old compilation 
steps should still work.
Give it a try and let us know if you see any issues.  Btw, I'm starting 
to see other projects adopting Stretch and in the version upgrades, 
there have been some challenges.  Inspect the output of the 
"./configure" stages very carefully and make sure everything you expect 
is found and is intended to be compiled in.

I just upgraded my Raspberry Pi, dedicated to running xastir as an 
APRS igate, from Raspbian Jessie to Stretch. The upgrade ran smoothly, 
but now xastir won't run, complaining about missing library libgdal.so.1.


Where can I retrieve a copy of this library, or do I need to recompile 
xastir?



I'm running xastir compiled from source about 1 year ago. I followed 
the compile script on the xastir wiki pages. Can I follow the same 
compile script (labeled for Jessie) to recompile under Stretch?



Thanks  for any assistance.

Re: [Xastir] What happened?

2017-08-27 Thread Lee Bengston 
The script checked for Raspbian Jessie (version 8), didn't find it, so
assumed Wheezy (version 7) and installed associated packages. At the time
it was written, those were the only 2 versions available. The PC version of
Stretch uses exactly the same packages as Jessie, so if that's true for
Raspbian, you should be able to change the "8" in line 20 to a "9". Note
there is a dot after the 8 that should be retained.
