Im new to Xastir and trying it out. Is there currently a problem with the
Snapshot.png module? I looking for some help. I cant get the thing to work.
Nothing shows up in ~/.xastir/tmp/ at all. I am running rev 1.9.7 on a P4,
1.3 GHz with Kubuntu. I verified that the ImageMagick module is installed and
operating by running the convert command in a shell. Tried different maps as
well as toggling the snapshot.png module on/off several times. can anyone
help?
It works. Make sure you have libXpm installed as it uses that to
create the initial snapshot.xpm, then uses GM or IM to convert it to
a PNG.
On my 64-bit OpenSuSE-11.1 system here I have these installed:
xorg-x11-libXpm-7.4-1.30
xorg-x11-libXpm-devel-7.4-1.30
xorg-x11-libXpm-32bit-7.4-1.27
P.S. the alarms are not working either. I installed the wav files in the
sound folder and verified matching file names. This problem is not a priority
to me but just in case its related.
Unfortunately there is no particular sound player that comes with
every Linux distribution, not to mention OSX, Solaris, Cygwin, etc.
You'll have to fine-tune the command-line there to fit whatever it
is that works on your system. On my home system I use:
/usr/bin/aplay -q
Try out various players and command-line switches on the command
line until you can play a sound file, then put that command into
Xastir in the File->Configure->Audio Alarms dialog.
