[Xastir] A few bugs under Gentoo

[David Flood]

Hello All,

I revisited my home Xastir setup today and after a PULL (and nuking the
source dir and doing a new CLONE) the following errors show up during
./bootstrap:

If I run AUTOUPDTE as requested here's the output:

configure.ac:292: warning: The preprocessor macro `STDC_HEADERS' is
obsolete.
  Except in unusual embedded environments, you can safely include all
  ISO C90 headers unconditionally.
configure.ac:306: warning: Update your code to rely only on HAVE_SYS_TIME_H,
then remove this warning and the obsolete code below it.
All current systems provide time.h; it need not be checked for.
Not all systems provide sys/time.h, but those that do, all allow
you to include it and time.h simultaneously.
configure.ac:308: warning: your code may safely assume C89 semantics that
RETSIGTYPE is void.
Remove this warning and the `AC_CACHE_CHECK' when you adjust the code.

The good news is that ./configure works fine and gets the options I need.I
think.  Because when I fire it up on a 64-bit VM the "move map
up/down/left/right" buttons are greyed out.  Everything else seems to work
but those buttons aren't.  Those buttons are functional on a "matching"
32-bit VM.  The only difference (besides the bit count) is that the 32-bit
doesn't see db.h but I'll fix that eventually.

The Help/About screen won't let me copy/paste but here's the highlights:

V2.1.9
Libraries:  GraphicsMagik libProj GeoTiff ShapeLib PCRE map_caching libcurl

The Motif is reporting as 2.3.8

And yes, I have done a full world update of the Gentoo up to today on both
bit VM's.

What other info would help?

Hello Udo,

It appears that nobody has scrounged up sufficient programming time to
address the issue since your question in April of last year.

I know the Government changed the way displaying the radar overlay maps. 
I loved how the overlay maps worked before. I guess this was so called RIDGE
maps. I found RIDGE 1 maps, but can't import, or convert so it will work
with xastir.

Sorry, I'm not a Linux expert, can hardly handle the basics of Linux.

I hope there is somebody out there to make this awesome program, great,
again.

Any help is appreciated, thanks

Re: [Xastir] WX-Radar

[David Flood]

Hello Udo,

The NWS stopped producing easily processable/usable data and instead switched 
to complicated data files.  If someone has some ATUs and wants to figure out 
how to parse the data it might be loadable into Xastir.  But since the data is 
changing/updated on a regular basis you'd have to write an entirely separate 
program that fetches the new data on a schedule and then "serves" it up to 
Xastir.

Here's the current data collection:

https://opengeo.ncep.noaa.gov/geoserver/www/index.html

I suppose, if someone had the programming skills and a spare server or two they 
could light up a Weather Server that does the processing but you still would 
then need to figure out how to modify Xastir to work with that server.  And as 
soon as it all was working the NWS would change everything once again.

Hi,

I used for years the RIDGE Radar files created by K1KWD

I know the weather service has changed the layout and the URL

I there anybody who know a new URL, or a way to get those radar overlay files, 
so it can be used by xastir's  mapping system.

Re: [Xastir] OSX 10.15.7 Macports: configure: error: **** MOTIF LIBRARIES NOT FOUND ****

[David Flood]

I haven't had to look at the log for awhile so things might have changed but
you might start the search by looking for something like "checking for
Motif" or "checking for libxm.a".  The lines between that and the next
"checking for" would be what is needed.

William,

I've been giving this some thought since you sent this.

You are correct that the included Maps link for Xastir radar are broken.  
During the last few redesigns of the NWS websites and available datasets the 
data needed to work with Xastir became unobtainium.

That being said, it is nice that some sort of information (note I didn't say 
data) is being provided once again.  However, there doesn't appear to be an 
easy way to use the files from the link you provided since they don't have any 
coordinates associated with them.  They're just pictures of the current radar 
returns.  So, download methods aside, someone would have to view each and every 
one and figure out the approximate zoom factor that matches up with the GIF and 
then do the programming to only display the GIF when you're near that zoom 
factor.

Assuming that someone did that, then there's the question of downloading the 
pictures.  Since they're constantly changing, there probably would have to be a 
completely different program written that gives the user the list of available 
radar choices and then every X minutes retrieves the appropriate choices to 
someplace local where Xastir can then read it.  Sort of a local WX Image 
Server...

So, until someone finds the ATU's to do all of the above or the NWS starts 
providing the actual data behind the pictures, there doesn't appear to be an 
easy way to get semi-live radar displays back in Xastir.  Or at least that's my 
take from the Peanut Gallery...

[Xastir] Did the NWS pull a fast one - Shapefile data

[David Flood]

I think that despite the filename being the same, the NWS pulled a fast one
and silently updated the z_10oc19.dbf file.

I did a git pull today and it pulled in a new get-NWSDATA script so I went
ahead and ran it after a full compile.  It's reporting that there isn't a
dbfawk signature match for that NWS file.

I took a look at the Wiki but I can't tell which file(s) in the dbfwak
database are used for the z_ files so I'm having trouble rolling my own.

Re: [Xastir] Archaic default map

[David Flood]

I'll take whatever high contrast, non-detailed map I can get since weather
warnings and such are easier to decern on a simple background.

The online sources for maps are good if I want to zoom in on something but
when looking at the entire US (or more), a simple map is better.

Hello Cyril,

What's the final report from the configure script that says which Magick it's

Also, it looks like you need to update your ports a little since you have a

Re: [Xastir] GraphicsMagick include issue on Gentoo

[David Flood]

99% of the time I just use the world map since it gives the most contrast
and doesn't hide weather alerts.  The other 1% I use the tiled_mapnik OSM
maps.

So I probably won't be the one testing the function too much.

Just make sure that if you use any non-OSM ".geo" maps, that you don't
observe
extreme memory bloat by repeatedly loading maps.  I believe that there is
zero probability of that due to the way that the image objects are
destroyed,
but memory cleanup was why this hack was put in, and it was just unnecessary
and wrong.

Re: [Xastir] Vehicle Android Computer

[David Flood]

Hello Ed,

I don't think that anyone has packaged and submitted Xastir to the Google
App Store.

The only Android APRS app I'm aware of is APRSDroid.  I use it in Internet
mode on my phone occasionally but don't know if it will connect to a radio
or not.

As for replacing the OS on your vehicle computer, you'd have to see if there
are any customer forums that discuss customizing your make/model of vehicle.
And especially if the OS is doing special things in the background that a
replacement OS might not know about.

Your best bet might be to see if you can leave your vehicle computer alone
and just connect a second video source to the screen.  Then you can use a
laptop or Raspberry Pi to run an open OS and Xastir as well as have physical
connections to a radio.

Re: [Xastir] Radar

[David Flood]

William,

I've been giving this some thought since you sent this.

You are correct that the included Maps link for Xastir radar are broken. 
During the last few redesigns of the NWS websites and available datasets the 
data needed to work with Xastir became unobtainium.

That being said, it is nice that some sort of information (note I didn't say 
data) is being provided once again.  However, there doesn't appear to be an 
easy way to use the files from the link you provided since they don't have any 
coordinates associated with them.  They're just pictures of the current radar 
returns.  So, download methods aside, someone would have to view each and 
every one and figure out the approximate zoom factor that matches up with the 
GIF and then do the programming to only display the GIF when you're near that 
zoom factor.

Assuming that someone did that, then there's the question of downloading the 
pictures.  Since they're constantly changing, there probably would have to be 
a completely different program written that gives the user the list of 
available radar choices and then every X minutes retrieves the appropriate 
choices to someplace local where Xastir can then read it.  Sort of a local WX 
Image Server...

So, until someone finds the ATU's to do all of the above or the NWS starts 
providing the actual data behind the pictures, there doesn't appear to be an 
easy way to get semi-live radar displays back in Xastir.  Or at least that's 
my take from the Peanut Gallery...

Try installing this font collection and see if the second message goes away:

Hello Jim,

The first part of that message is, despite the fact that it happens faster 
than once a second, harmless.  The references to Character 260 are the result 
of some language support changes that were made a couple of months ago.

A temporary fix, until someone has the ATU's to track down all the offending 
code, is to launch Xastir like this:

LANG=C xastir

The command is case sensitive and tells Xastir to use a generic language set 
rather than the one the rest of your system is set to.

That still won't fix the problem with "get_rotated_label".  Those messages 
seem to indicate that not enough different fonts were loaded into your system. 
Based on your previous emails you're using a PI with Raspbian which doesn't 
install a lot of extra fonts by default.  Unfortunately I don't have a working 
Raspbian or Debian system to see which packages need to be installed to supply 
the fonts.  Perhaps I should spend some iced-in time to that

I wasn't seeing any of the expected Wx Alerts in Xastir related to the
hurricane so I un-filtered my Firenet feed and just used the "f" filter with
a couple of South Carolina stations entered so I'm not pulling the entire
feed for world-wide...

Now I'm seeing county boundaries and irregular polygons light up due to
xmitted objects but View / Weather Alerts remains blank.

If I "Station Info" the object, it came from AE5PL-WX so I think something
got changed about the format of Weather Alerts again...

There's also another station that appears to be putting out a lighting
strike object that lights up the border of the entire grid square around the
object

Any idea what's going on?

Re: [Xastir] Xastir iGate Setup

[David Flood]

Andrew,

A couple of questions:

1) In the Internet port configuration, do you have a passcode entered and is
"Allow transmitting" checked?

2) If you're using the m/distance_in_KMs filter on your Internet port
config, did you use the "move my station here" function to put your icon
sorta near where you want it?

3) Under "Interface" are any of the boxes checked (none should be).

#2 can be a real "gotcha".  If you don't have your Xastir icon where you
want it then the "mine+distance" filter won't work right.  Also note that
even if you have "use English units" selected, the m syntax is in
Kilometers.

"move my station here" can be accessed via right-clicking on the displayed
map.

Hope this helps.

Tom - while testing this fix I saw some odd interaction in error state
between multiple interfaces. I'm not sure if it is related to my IPv6

[Xastir-dev] Has the IPV6 stuff been merged into the mainline?

[David Flood]

When I get downtime at work I have a Gentoo VM that I fire up on my laptop.

Until today's "git pull" it worked just fine.

As of today's pull, bootstrap, configure, make, install the IPV4 
interfaces that I have defined are now giving a Hard Error.


I can ping those IPV4 names from another term so I know they're 
resolving correctly but something inside of Xastir doesn't like them.  I 
can't use IPV6 since my cell modem doesn't route IPV6.


If I set up a new interface with a specific IPV4 address hardcoded, that 
works.  but that's not a long term fix because I'm using rotates 
(rotate.aprs2.net and firenet.aprs2.net).


Any suggestion where to go from here for tshoot?

Re: [Xastir] Oregon Scientific wmr200 weather station

[David Flood]

Joe,

Right now Xastir assumes that you have your weather station attached directly 
to the system which Xastir is running on.  And there's only a few of those that 
are supported, even less on the Pi.

However, I do note this from the Cumulus MX main page:

Automatic upload of data to web sites, Weather Underground, CWOP/APRS, PSW 
Weather/WeatherForYou/HAMweather, Twitter

So it may be possible to upload your weather data to those data streams 
directly from that program without involving Xastir.

Within 15 minutes of launching it was back at 100% and stuck there...

Re: [Xastir] Fwd: Bug#818217: xastir: Jasper removal

[David Flood]

So it really isn't an Xastir bug, it's a Debian *Magick packaging bug..the 
maintainers of those two ecosystems need to update their packages to remove the 
Jasper dependency.


And since Debian has been absorbed by the Borg Collective that is systemd, 
another option would be to wait until systemd takes over all the *magick 
functions and switch to that.

Adding this line near the top of configure.ac seems to fix it:

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([subdir-objects])

I then had to do a 'rm missing' to clean up a problem message during
configure and rerun bootstrap and configure..

The configure line also needs to be changed in the Jessie HOWTO to:

./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/geotiff -I/usr/include/GraphicsMagick"

I then had to work my way through "could not find" errors in config.log and
finally got it all to configure with the options I wanted...

 The only interface I'm running now is to firenet.us, port 14580, with

The problem is that all I'm seeing is my station (N7QNM, no SSID) and
WX-ALERTS; NO other stations (including the beacon from the Pi/TNC).  My
filter is set to: m/100  e/WE7U-WX

That's all you will see on FireNet with those filters.

If I use findu or aprs.fi; I can see other stations around me, including
one's I'm digi'ing and igating.   I'm sending my igate packets to noam.aprs2

If you want local APRS-IS traffic AND weather alerts via Internet, you have
to set up two Internet connections, one for the regular APRS-IS (stations)
and one for Firenet (Weather).

It is true if all you want are houses, cars, the occasional obnoxious

That is decidedly not true.  Firenet gets a full feed of everything on the
APRS-IS as well as it's own local stuff.  Firenet has the superset and is
the only connection you need for this type of operation.

If you go to View / Weather Alerts, is anything listed?

Something does appear to be messed up...I've got a lot of alerts in just the
last five minutes and nothing is lit up on the map...

And I'm not getting any warnings about DBFAWK files in the term window...so
that's not it..

Ok, check your feed then.it has to be one of the firenet servers (or the
round robin firenet.aprs2.net), you have to have a valid confirmation code
(even in rx only mode) and you have to have t/n e/WE7U-WX as part of your
parm string.and it is case sensitive.

Re: [Xastir] NWS Weather Alerts

[David Flood]

And I can confirm that something is broke about the latest maps.I see the
alerts show up in the view window, I see the loading weather alerts
message in the lower left, but nothing shows up.

 

This is with both Cygwin and OpenSuse 10.3 with just the world map
displayed.  I've got the latest NWS files (and even went back under Cygwin
and loaded some old 2009/2010 ones I've got on a share) as well as the
latest CVS as of yesterday.all putting those extra files out there is make
the loading message stay on the screen longer.

Subject: Re: [Xastir] [aprssig] Xastir-2.0.2 Stable Released

Speaking of which ... I've had two recent issues which have caused me no end of 
grief. I have long had a problem with my packet interface. When the program 
quits or I try to stop that interface (to a D700 using the stock scripts) the 
program locks up. I finally decided I'd had enough yesterday. I spent hours 
hacking the file trying to make it work. In the end I had it down to just a few 
lines. I found that if I had any pause between the TNC 1 and TC 0 commands 
it would 'lock up'. It took me awhile to get to the bottom of that too, but if 
I shut off the radio then I didn't have to force quit Xastir. (But it would 
remain unresponsive forever otherwise.)

My functioning script:
 ##META no-ctrl-c
 TC 1
 ##META delay
 ##META delay
 
 ##META no-ctrl-c
 TNC 1
 
 ##META no-ctrl-c
 TC 0


The other thing bothering me is dbfawk files. I have found them residing in 
/usr/local/share/xastir/config/ as well as ~/.xastir/config/dbfawk/. The only 
way I was able to get things to happen was to remove all the ones in /usr/ 
except the ones I wanted and modified them as I saw fit. The ones in ~ seemed 
to be ignored. Do I have the user ones in the wrong subfolder? The text in the 
help files and on the wiki could really use some refinement as they are 
somewhat difficult to follow. For example, knowing how to name or otherwise 
specify what maps a dbfawk file should apply to are beyond my comprehension at 
this point. I had to get it done by sheer force of will. And I know the next 
time I do an update the ones I did will get overwritten (ugh) so I have them 
backed up.


The final problem is that I STILL can't get Xastir to function on this machine. 
It refuses to believe that ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick are installed (and 
both are). I've tried every trick I know. We've discussed it on this list. Some 
voodoo is going on and it can't seem to find them despite the fact that both 
are installed. I've removed each, reinstalled, updated, traded, swapped, 
coaxed, begged, pleaded ... nothing works.


Please don't mistake any frustration in my tone. I LOVE Xastir. It is the best 
APRS program, and probably the best Ham program around. The support on this 
list is terrific. Sadly my inadequacies are leaving me a little short in a 
couple of areas.

 There is one user-visible change that impacts users of TNCs with attached GPS

 with the release announcement.
 
 If you are running any interface of the type TNC with GPS on AUX port then 
 you need to review your interface properties.  There is a new setting on that 
 page Send Control-E to receive GPS data? --- this should only be selected 
 for KPC-3+ TNCs and others that actually require a Control-E to select the 
 GPS data.  
 
 For D700s and other such radios, this option needs to be de-selected.  The 
 default behavior is to have this box selected, so you must take action after 
 upgrading to Xastir 2.0.2 from Xastir 2.0.0.

Re: [Xastir] Fwd: [Bug 999356] [NEW] xastir is missing a .desktop file

[David Flood]

begin personal viewpoint that may or may not reflect the authors of Xastir

If Xastir was intended to be distributed as a binary then I could see the
value of some sort of integration file.  But it is only distributed as
source code unless someone builds and distributes a binary independent of
the CSV site.

Any binary distributions of Xastir are therefore the responsibility of the
person who built and distributed it, not the CVS source tree.

end of personal viewpoint

In addition, if I was able to find the right documentation regarding a
.desktop file, there isn't any way to launch the executable inside a
terminal window and have that window hang around after Xastir ends.  Xastir
outputs many of its diagnostic messages to the terminal when running so
anything that just runs the binary inside a hidden process is useless for
understanding any errors that might occur.

Hello Mike,

Here's an explanation of that error that Tom Russo posted last December:

Check your *Magick install.  It must have a QuantumDepth of something other
than 8 or 16, and Xastir won't work properly if so.  Apparently some
installs of ImageMagick can have 32 or 64-bit quanta.  GraphicsMagick
defaults to 8-bit now, perhaps ImageMagick went to 32 or 64 as default.

It'll be in either magick-config.h (for ImageMagick) or magick_config.h for
GraphicsMagick).

Re: [Xastir] Xastir 2.0.0 on Arch Linux

[David Flood]

After you compiled, did you do a 'make install'?  The uninstall of the 
previous package may have deleted the map directory (bad form!) but a 
make install will force a new one.


If the maps directory does exist then it's probable that the OpenMaps

Re: [Xastir] Imagemagick opensuse 11.2

[David Flood]

Kent,

Take a look at the config.log (or is it configure.log) file.  Based on how 
things work in the Cygwin world (I also run OpenSuse on other boxes but 
maintain one of the two still active Cygwin installs) the test needs bz2-devel 
and xml2-devel (I think those are the names) packages installed.  In the log 
file you'll see the actual compile test that it's doing and right below that 
will be something like -ld bz2 not found or something like that.  It might 
take one or two different tries to load all the required -devel packages (load 
one, try, load the next missing, repeat).

Re: [Xastir] Upgrade / Update 1.98 to 1.99 CVS

[David Flood]

 after the cvs update, did you do ./bootstrap followed by 
./configure?  Those two command get the system ready for make...if 
that works then follow that by sudo make install


So the sequence should look a little like this:

cvs update
output of that command
./bootstrap
should get 5 or 6 lines
./configure
should get a lot of output followed by a chart of yes and no's
make
compiles the program
sudo make install
will prompt for root password and install things...

[Xastir] Xastir binary for Windows - was OSM offline

[David Flood]

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.

Yeah, I know it's a free program that people work on as they have

Re: [Xastir] Radar / Weather Warnings

[David Flood]

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.

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. Flash
Flood, Tornado, and Severe Thunderstorm Warnings have
