The "version" in your Internet menu is just a link to the same binary, but is being run without "sudo. " Running with "sudo" as you said you were doing isn't the right way to run it from the command line in the first place, as I mentioned in a precvious note. When you started with "sudo" it probably used root's home directory as the directory into which it created ".xastir" (which may be why you didn't find it in your home directory), and there may have been other permissions issues regarding access to the map cache files that Xastir placed there (though I can't think what those might have been). It also explains why you had to reconfigure everything (call sign, coordinates, etc.) --- This time, it created a new .xastir directory in your own home directory, and put the map cache there, too. Try to run Xastir from the command line *without* sudo, and you may find that it works properly that way, too, and shouldn't make you re-enter all the configuration information. > Why would I have two versions, and only able to open the good version from > the start menu icon? I am confused, but for now this works. The only > difference I can report is that when starting from the terminal, it prompts > me for my password. That's sudo asking for your password, not xastir. Don't use sudo. Xastir should only need root privileges if you are using kernel AX.25 networking, and in that case you should give xastir that privilege by setting its "suid" bit, not by running it under "sudo." > Perhaps it has something to do with having proper > privileges to render the .png images? > On Sun, Jul 22, 2018 at 8:55 PM, Dominick Spina <[email protected]> wrote: > > > This now shows up in the terminal when I start Xastir: > > > > dominick@dominick-AOA150:~$ sudo xastir > > > > > > Built-in map types: > > gnis USGS GNIS Datapoints > > pop USGS GNIS Datapoints w/population > > map APRSdos Maps > > map WinAPRS/MacAPRS/X-APRS Maps > > pdb PocketAPRS Maps > > > > Support for these additional map types has been compiled in: > > geo Image Map (ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick library, many formats > > allowed) > > geo URL (Internet maps via libcurl library) > > geo URL (OpenStreetMaps via libcurl library > > Copyright OpenStreetMap and contributors, CC-BY-SA) > > shp ESRI Shapefile Maps (Shapelib library) > > xpm X Pixmap Maps (XPM library) > > tab MapInfo TAB > > mid MapInfo MID > > mif MapInfo MIF > > ddf Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS) > > s57 International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) S-57 > > dgn MicroStation DGN > > rt1 US Census Bureau TIGER/Line > > > > festival_client: connect to server failed > > SayText: Couldn't open socket to Festival > > Indexing maps... > > Finished indexing maps > > *** Reading WX Alert log files > > *** Done with WX Alert log files > > free(): invalid pointer > > Magick: abort due to signal 6 (SIGABRT) "Abort"... > > free(): invalid pointer > > Magick: abort due to signal 6 (SIGABRT) "Abort"... > > dominick@dominick-AOA150:~$ > > > > > > On Sun, Jul 22, 2018 at 8:28 PM, Dominick Spina <[email protected]> wrote: > > > >> To answer everyone's questions: > >> > >> *Steve - *When I run Xastir in the terminal, it states "Support for > >> these additional map types has been compiled in:" and then a list including > >> "geo Image Map (ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick Library, many formats allowed), > >> geo URL (Internet maps via libcurl library), geo URL (Open StreetMaps via > >> libcurl library), and other types are listed.
