Any of these can cause it. There weren't any changes to the decoding of packets made to Xastir lately, so it's unlikely (but of course still possible) that Xastir is directly causing it. Watch the incoming packet window and look for corruption there. See if callsigns are getting corrupted on the map screen. ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

Couple things to watch: 1 - bring up a terminal shell 2 - put the USB adapter in a USB port 3 - as root, type: dmesg enter 4 - near the end of all the lines of info, you should see several lines that describe how the adapter was detected and how it was setup. One of those lines will tell you what it's 'serial' port is. For me - it's often /dev/ttyUSB0 - but on occasion, it'll show as /dev/ttyUSB1 You can also use minicom -s enter to configure the serial port, remove all the modem crap and then 'exit' to minicom and access the serial device directly. Just another way to verify where it actually is. I put whatever the current address is in my interface config for serial TNC in Xastir and away it goes! HINT: as a matter of course, do not reboot Linux! There is usually NO NEED to do this, short of a kernel upgrade. I also use a GPS receiver with a built in USB to serial adapter, depending on what is plugged in when or what's plugged in when I power the thing up, my GPS receiver and TNC port can all appear on a variety of ports.

I used one from openSuse factory, converted with alien, for this purpose. libtiff4-dev was installed by the package manager to supply the dependencies for libmagickcore-dev. I'm not sure where in the Debian bug reporting system this gets reported, but it will prevent a newer Xastir version entering the Debian system until the libmagickcore-dev dependencies are revised.

Hi Tom, I use Linux Mint 17.2 and libxp-dev shows in Synaptic but my system shows it is not used or installed on the system.If it was needed i can add it in. 73 David VK4BDJ On 30/10/15 07:24, Tom Russo wrote: I have been following the recent question about Ubuntu 15.10 and the missing "libxp-dev" on that system. Apparently, the X Printing Extension provided by libXp has been deprecated, and Ubuntu/Debian have chosen to stop providing it in their package management system. The good news is that Xastir does not in fact use any functions in this library itself. The bad news is that SOMETIMES a motif library might require it, or at least this used to be true. Looking through Xastir's configure.ac file, I see a note that I added back in 2007 that nothing in Xastir actually USES libXp. Back then I had tried to remove configure's probe for Xp functions, and found out that some Linux system somewhere had a Motif library that required it as a dependency, but didn't properly pull it in as a shared library. The result was that I had to reinstate the check three days later. >From the commit log for configure.ac: --- revision 1.178 date: 2007/01/27 18:41:12; author: tvrusso; state: Exp; lines: +6 -4 re-enable check for the X Printing Extension library. Apparently this is needed by libXm and some systems do not properly bring in the indirect dependence through the dynamic loader. It would probably be better to detect that condition than just blindly checking for Xp (which we don't use). Regardless, it should never be necessary to install development headers for libXp just to build xastir, which was what one user was confused about and which led me to remove the check in the first place. revision 1.177 date: 2007/01/24 21:19:40; author: tvrusso; state: Exp; lines: +6 -2 Remove probe for the X Printing Extension library. Xastir doesn't use it, and there's no point probing for it. Someone was confused into thinking they needed to install it on Ubuntu 6.10 because configure said it couldn't find the library. They don't, coz we don't use it. - It may very well be the case that in the last 8 years this sorry state of affairs has been corrected, and that probe can be removed --- rendering it unnecessary to have libxp installed at all, or at least not unless another package pulls it in as a dependency itself. Please try the following: - edit configure.ac in the Xastir source tree, and find the following line: AC_CHECK_LIB([Xp], [XpGetDocumentData]) - Comment out this line by adding "#" at the beginning - Run the "bootstrap.sh" script in the source directory - Try reconfiguring and building Xastir now If Xastir builds and runs, then at least on Ubuntu 15.10 we can stop probing for the Xp library. Whether some other system continues to require us to add Xp to our library list ourselves is an open question. I bet it is no longer necessary. ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir

Bob was, after my Aunt and Uncle (Pat N7CAK, SK and Cal W7SFT), one of my earliest mentors. He was a true Elmer who made sure that not only were the rules ingrained but the reasons and events behind the rules explained. He was the one who invited me to become part of the Public Service Team that Gene and Fran Underwood W7AKA / N7FWZ organize and ride herd over. His knowledge and experiences were invaluable tools when it came to helping me with my radios and operating skills.

[Xastir] Time to discard VMware as an option?
The other day I decided to go ahead and get the latest version of VMware Player to stop the there's a new version do you want to get it? prompt. Well, you now have to create a userid/password on their site in order to download the latest version and, while it has several improvements over their last version, it also won't install on older non-PAE cpus (so my Dell D600 Centrino is locked out). I think that VMware has become aware of the popularity and is on the way towards shutting down access to the player. I also don't like the fact that older machines that have the horsepower and memory are now locked out. So, is it time to dump them and go to some other VM system?

Re: [Xastir] Time to discard VMware as an option?
I originally asked the question in this thread due to the somewhat alarming changes that have been made by VMWare in regards to the Player. I see now that I opened a large can of worms almost on the scale of VI vs EMACS. Each suggestion and thought has its own merit. But, taken as a whole, a move by a manufacturer from free, no registration or serial number (I never had to enter one at all to use the Player in the past) to only installs on certain systems with the right cpu and you must have an account to even download it is a step in the wrong direction when it comes to supporting as many different hardware and software systems as possible with Xastir. Unfortunately the Player has become yet another victim of the neighborhood crack dealer syndrome. Give them something at a discount at first and then, when they are hooked, jack up the cost/price/repercussions. I'd like to see Xastir escape before it is so hooked that there is no escape so I asked the question. I guess I had better dust off my programming skills and see if I can come up with a free way to create a Windows native executable. Either that or go find and submit fixes to Cygwin to make it a viable option again. Dave KD7MYC ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

Re: [Xastir] Proposal: Pitch ImageMagick and require GraphicsMagick instead.
Tom Group, Having just gotten lost crawling through the code, I concur that pitching IM in favor of GM is the way to go. 73 Dave KB3EFS FN24BI81GP On Fri, Jan 1, 2010 at 12:33 PM, Tom Russo ru...@bogodyn.org wrote: After a recent upgrade of ImageMagick, many new deprecated warnings have been showing up. Even the most basic function, InitializeMagick, is now a deprecated part of the API. Maintaining support in Xastir for all the various versions of ImageMagick that have broken API time and again has lead to code that is unbelievably ugly. Throughout map_geo.c there are tests of the preprocessor symbol MagickLibVersion where we check to see which broken API we have to deal with, and then do different things depending on how old or new ImageMagick is. Now, some distros are starting to ship ImageMagick with the HDRI (High Dynamic Range Image) option turned on. Even the ImageMagick documentation calls this an experimental feature. It causes the data type of the Quantum (pixel value) to be a double instead of an integer, breaking our bit-fiddling and requiring that we hack in additional special cases --- special cases that will almost certainly be broken again when the experiment calls for a change in API. I say it's time that we declare ImageMagick too unstable an external library for us to support. GraphicsMagick, the stable fork of ImageMagick, has been much better and provides all the features we actually use. Now that the 8-bit quantum bug in Xastir is fixed, GraphicsMagick is a viable alternative for all platforms. I propose that following our next stable release (which should happen very soon), support for ImageMagick be dropped completely. The code for maintaining backward compatibility with all old versions of ImageMagick would be removed. Configure macros for probing ImageMagick would be removed. All features currently requiring either ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick would change to requiring GraphicsMagick. I think it is high time that we did this, as ImageMagick has been a thorn in our sides ever since it was introduced as a dependency for Xastir. Ideally, even GraphicsMagick should not be required --- what we use of that library is so small a set that there should be something less elaborate that would serve the purpose. But for now, GraphicsMagick is at least stable and functional, and doesn't require bizarre coding circumlocutions just to keep it going.

[Xastir] Cygwin update - 1 problem fixed, 1 new problem
For anyone still using it The new version of setup.exe (and associated programs) seems to fix the need to go find and downgrade xorg-devel. But they have fixed (in the Microsoft patch sense of the word) how Xwindows is started and xterms are launched. Once I figure out a real fix, I'll post it if anyone other than me still cares.

Haven't played with that variant so don't know if it auto-updates in the background or not. I typed curl (return) and it wants more info and directs me to check the help file, same with wget. That means to me that both programs are there and that the shell found them. So an instance of Xastir launched from the same shell should find them also. Rehash does nothing, command not found. That just means you are using one of the less common variations of shells. Most bash/tcsh type shells implement some sort of rehash command to rebuild the list of known commands. Moving up the list of drastic actions, I'd try logging out of the X session and then logging back in. And if you are going to do that and/or are considering a reboot then you might as well see what updates are available and install them while you are at it. You may also want to launch a web browser or other web based application and make sure that you can browse the Internet. Even if email is working it is possible that http type applications aren't working and that Xastir is interpreting a failure by curl or wget as program not found.

Re: [Xastir] xastir on cygwin installation problem
Hello Rob, Short answer to all your questions...the xm.h issue is fixed by the latest version of Cygwin as long as you do a fresh install. If you had an installation previous to 30 days ago, it will continue to have the xm.h issue. There is a very ugly work-around. The -devel stuff has been moved into the lib* area of the list of packages. As the somewhat defacto Cygwin Howto maintainer (I've got one XP system that VMWare won't touch due to damaged something (read mystery vxd or dll) in the video subsystem) I'm working on a complete rewrite of the HowTo with an updated list of what to install. If you can live without a working installation for another day or so I should have the rewrite done by Friday or so.

Re: [Xastir] xastir on cygwin installation problem
Ok, I've attached (and the list will probably strip) a zipped version of the
updated readme.cygwin.txt file for Cygwin version 1.7 and higher. I changed
the filename so we don't loose the older setup for people that are using the
old version on older than Windows 2k versions.
I've also sent a copy to Curt to check into the tree.
Bottom line, if you have Cygwin installed using the old directions, delete
it and start over. The package changes are so drastic and enough garbage is
left behind during the upgrade that it isn't worth the mess and continued
errors.

Re: [Xastir] Cygwin problem, probably routine
Rob, How recently did you install and which set of installation directions did you use? If you had an installation previous to the recent upgrade in Cygwin, I've found that doing that upgrade isn't worth it. Kill the Cygwin directory (or at least everything but the Home sub direcotory) and then reinstall using the new directions in the Readme.Cygwin file. An upgrade from the old packages to the new ones leaves too much garbage behind. The other thing I'd try is to make sure that you aren't using a special or add-on screen saver. It's possible that the screen saver is changing the screen resolution or pallet and that is messing with the X-Windows session.

Re: [Xastir] Radar / Weather Warnings
I'm not at home right now so don't have access to my archives but the bottom line is that unless it is an Immediate warning issued by NOAA, it won't be gated to APRS-IS. The old weather server died, permanently, and the new one (run by someone else) has very strict limitations on what data it sends out. Any long term watches/warnings will not be sent out since those that control the server and the data believe that commercial radio/TV and other methods are better ways of sending out these things. So...if you live where there are Immediate warnings, good for you. If you live where there are long term ones (like Western Washington), APRS is now worthless for this sorta thing. I'll find and forward the excellent summary of the bad news written by the new server owner the next time I can get to my mail archive or when I can find the relevant email in either the Xastir or NWAPRS archives.

Lines that begin with are from me; all non-marked lines are from the wxsvr owner/maintainer. PLEASE, read this a few times and understand what isn't put put out by the current wxsvr and why, and that a good part of what we aren't seeing is due to a procedure policy of the NWS, not the wxsvr maintainer. ++ /begin quote/ I'm sure you are aware of all the buzz on the APRSSIG and UIVIEW lists about how the wxsvr isn't working. The biggest gripe from people right now is that they aren't seeing the winter weather warnings. I'm sure that the primary reason is that you aren't parsing the event code from the NWS stream for those. A big part of that is that the NWS lumps a No, the reason they are not being put on APRS-IS is because they are not (according to the NWS) Immediate, Actual, Meteorological alerts. The reason the NWS does not classify them this way is because there is no immediate identification in a winter weather warning, a flood warning, a watch, a special weather statement, etc. To qualify as an immediate, actual alert, the NWS office determines that there is an immediate, identifiable threat to life or property in a specific area. This includes Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, Tornado Warnings, and Flash Flood Warnings. good part of the winter stuff under the same code of WSW and you were wishing to limit the wxsvr to warning messages only. I am asking you to consider adding the WSW and BZW event codes as valid for passage by the wxsvr in order that winter storm warning and blizzard warnings are passed along to the APRS-IS. APRS-IS #1 primary purpose is to support APRS on RF. I used this statement to determine the criteria for publishing weather alerts on APRS-IS. As stated above, it has nothing to do with type of warning. The only criteria used are if the local weather office determines the alert is Immediate and Actual in nature (this is their terminology and ratings, not mine). Generic warnings such as winter weather, blizzard, etc. are wide-area events that are best disseminated via reliable sources such as weather radio, commercial radio, TV, and the Internet just as watches and special weather statements are dispensed. The reason for the Immediate and Actual criteria allowing dissemination to APRS-IS is because: It will not congest an RF channel and all NWS alerts gated to APRS-IS are important so they should be looked at immediately as they may affect a mobile or remote operator's safety. I know Dale (editor note: Dale was the person that maintained the old wxsvr ) had a lot of heartburn over the excessive amount of information his weather server was pumping into APRS-IS and therefore onto local APRS channels. I decided to take a learn from past experience approach and focus on information that is vital to a field APRS operator that may not be available otherwise due to active operations in the mobile at the time. /end quote/ ++ The translation of this is that only LOCAL weather service issued warnings ( FFW, TOR, SVR event codes ) will be ported to the APRS-IS due to the belief that having *ALL* NWS watch/warn/advis messages was causing too much local RF traffic *AND* that general area and broad coverage events such at blizzards, winter storms, hurricanes, and floods are best received via Internet or media sources, NOAA Weather radio included. Flash Flood, Tornado, and Severe Thunderstorm Warnings are all LOCALIZED events that IMMEDIATELY affect safety of life and property. Many of the other warnings ( blizzard, winter storm, flood, hurricane, etc. ) are wide spread events that often have many *HOURS* of lead time to prepare for or react to them.

Get the essential tools for building packages: sudo apt-get install build-essential 2. Install headers and tools needed for building your package: sudo apt-get build-dep xastir 3. Download the source to the official package. cd to a suitable place and: apt-get source xastir the source will end up in the directory xastir-version, e.g. xastir-1.9.4, below your current location 4. cd to a suitable place. Check out the current version of the source from CVS, or download and unpack the tar file with the version you want. 5. cd into the source directory. Copy the 'debian' directory from the package source into your source like this: cp -rp packagesourcdir/debian/* debian 6. Edit the version number at the top of the file debian/changelog. E.g change xastir (1.9.4-3.1) unstable; urgency=low to xastir (1.9.9-1local) unstable; urgency=low 7. Build the package using the command dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot If the source hasn't changed too much since it was packaged for Ubuntu/Debian, this will result in a .deb file in the directory above the source directory. If you want to enable other options than Ubuntu does, they run 'configure' from the file 'debian/rules'.

Re: [Xastir] added twitter capability with Xastir
NO NO NO THIS CAN ONLY LEAD TO PIRACY AND SYSTEM CORRUPTION If this gets added to the code it well destroy ham radio. The damb TWITS can go play in the twitterverse and leave us alone. I do not Twiter/Tweet, nor do I facebook, ect. In my opinion... if you need twitter you need help from a shrink. Just my 2 copper disks.

Re: [Xastir] added twitter capability with Xastir
I would respectfully suggest that before any attempt at linking APRS to any non-Ham system that the people proposing this link post their idea to the national APRS email list and let it be discussed there. Not only are the maintainers of the infrastructure there but also many others who have significant ideas about how things like this idea will break other things. If it passes muster there then Xastir could be the first program to support it. But, please, not before it is fully hashed out.

[Xastir] Xastir binary for Windows - was OSM offline
There are two main reasons that Xastir isn't available in a Windows binary right now: 1) There are no decent, low cost (or free) Windows compilers that understand makefiles and that support GUI's (there are one or two out there that output command line programs). 2) Xastir uses the Unix rule of if some other program can do the work, use it rather than reinventing the wheel. So, unless someone ports Xastir and all of the tools it uses over to one of the proprietary compiler formats, there won't be a native Windows binary any time soon. Oh and whomever does this Herculean Feat must also then keep up with all the patches and updates for Xastir and every tool. Dave KD7MYC -Original Message- From: James Ewen ve6...@gmail.com Sent: Jul 7, 2010 10:07 AM If Xastir 2.0 is to ever to come to fruition, this needs to be something that is seriously considered. I've been following Xastir for many, many years, but I don't run it anymore. It is just not easy enough to deal with. If there are other cross-platform applications out there, why can Xastir not be made in a similar manner? Yeah, I know it's a free program that people work on as they have time, but if you're looking to take over the world, you've got to put enough sugar into the special Kool-aid to get everyone to take a good long drink. ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
Re: [Xastir] Building dbfinfo
Tom, Is there a way to automajicitically test for the presence of shapelib being installed from a package management system? Say maybe during the bootstrap or configure stages? Then have the make do the appropriate thing.

If not, then removing the external Shapelib means he can re-run Xastir's configure and then build the tool in xastir/src/shapelib/contrib/ I ran ./configure --without-festival --with-internal-shapelib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/geotiff, then make. Changed to the ~/xastir/src/shapelib/contrib directory and did a make there. No luck. I then unistalled shapelib, libshp-dev and libshp1 and ran ./configure --without-festival CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/geotiff. Still no luck. Configure says that it's using the internal shapelib library in both cases. Ah. I see what the issue is. There is no rule to create dbfinfo in our makefile. We only create dbfadd, dbfcreate, shpadd and shpcreate. Lemme see if I can fix that. Until just now, xastir's internal shapelib did not build any of the contrib programs, only those at the same level as the rest of shapelib. Do a CVS update, and then build Xastir with internal shapelib. dbfinfo will be built and installed along with dbfadd, dbfcreate, shpadd and shpcreate. Note that this only builds shapelib and its tools with static linking for Xastir, and does not install the library itself. If you already have shapelib installed from a package management system, you should NOT do it this way. In that case, you'll have to install dbfinfo from a shapelib source distribution other than the one that lives in Xastir's source tree. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off. ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir -- David A Aitcheson david.aitche...@gmail.com david.aitcheson on google and skype ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
Re: [Xastir] [Ubuntu-hams] Upgrading Xastir?
Kamal, 1.9.9-?.? is out now (I think) and is what I am thinking we should promote. At least it is the latest DEV on the Xastir page at http://sourceforge.net/projects/xastir/files/ The reason being that Tiger maps are no longer available online. The turn around time from when Tiger-Line Maps disappeared with no warning that we saw to OSM being in place and functional was under three days IRRC. The Go to online mapping solution is Open Street Maps which is included in 1.9.9 -- OSM is _not_ in 1.9.8 I am open to suggestions if 1.9.9 is not stable enough; and yes it is being updated daily in CVS THE BEST PLACE TO BUILD FROM SOURCE IS as detailed in the how to located at http://www.xastir.org/wiki/Notes:CVS Which leaves you with the most bleeding edge up to date Xastir possible. The main Xastir information page is found at http://www.xastir.org/wiki/Main_Page And questions can be asked or help obtained by posting a message to the Xastir list serve; to join go to http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir and sign up - it is free Feel free to ask any other questions on either list-server or direct.
