Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Step 1 ok, I get a good fix with the original program 'Maps'.
Step 2 ok, run 'CloudGPS' from terminal and wait 30 seconds.
Step 3 ok, see attached screenshots.

I cannot see GPS icon on status area when CloudGPS is running on my N900 ...

Photo 1 : The start from terminal.

For what it is worth, all that colin.stephane describes and shows applies to my n900 as well.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Updated yesterday to 0.6.5.

1 - Text in search box still draws vertically (landscape mode)
2 - Program still crashes when trying to change search service.
3 - Program still can't get gps fix

Dwaradzyn, is there some option we can add to commandline or config so the programs becomes more verbose?

Right now the only thing i can see when cloudgps crashes is "Segmentation fault"

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Is there a method to have a Garmin-like map size ? For France Garmin Map I remember that It took about ~300m with all details zoomed well but If I download the tiles for CloudGPS with zoom 18 the size is a lot more than Garmin Maps O_O

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

As explained some post ago by Dwaradzyn, it is only a "Work in progress" release without any fix.

As you can see, it is located in a DEVEL repo.
So don't forget that DEVEL is very different from STABLE... ;)

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

I know, i know...

The thing is, since he's not getting the same errors on his development environment i thought we could *help* with the debugging. ;)

Peace.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Very nice report, thank you!

Could you try attached deb and confirm if GPS is getting started with this one?

For the reference I changed preferred positioning method from anything to satellite in this build.

Also could you post here the exact version of qt mobility that you have installed on your N900?

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Not really, there is only one option for verbose logging but it is for network activity (curlVerbose=1 in /opt/cloudgps/cloudgps.ini).

For fixing crashes there are great tools like gdb and valgrind. The crash on search service is already fixed on my other laptop.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Simply put: no. Garmin is vector based and CloudGPS only support tile based maps right now. Please find the rest of the story couple of posts back.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

It didn't fix the issue on my device. Still no gps action or icon in statusarea.

Keep up the execellent work :)

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

OK. Could you paste the output of:

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Latest version does not start gps.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

OK, now could someone with 0.6.5 and GPS working paste output of the same command?

Thanks

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

I've installed cloudgps 0.6.5 (n900). The first time i launch cloudgps i get gps fix. But now there is no more gps (on menus).

Guy

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

I really like that slo mo bounce of the menu icons....... To the point: is there any n900 user with a working CloudGPS? Besides the dev that is?

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Sorry for the delay ...

On my side, nothing changed with your attached package 'cloudgps_0.6.6_armel.deb'.

I mean, no activation of GPS in the status area, no fix, also, segmentation fault when I click on the cross to close the program ...

And here is the output of 'dpkg -s libqtm-11-location' :

Hope it help ...

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

I've got that installed (as well as libqtm-12), but ldd shows that cloudgps is actually linking against the library from libqtm-location.

Description: Qt Mobility location module
Qt Mobility Project delivers a set of new APIs to Qt with features that are
well known from the mobile device world, in particular phones. However,
these APIs allow the developer to use these features with ease from one
framework and apply them to phones, netbooks and non-mobile personal
computers.
.
The QtLocation module
.
If you wish to to use the location module for development, you should install
the libqtm-11-dev package.

------------------------------------

One additional issue for a future bugfix release:
At this moment i'm using about 20 custom maps created some time ago converting other maps... BUT.... In the map setting page the font of the title of the map is pratically unreadable (the font becomes smaller on the latest maps)
Is it possible to set manually a custom icon for every map?
(my maps are all offline so there is no working http address to get a png for the button)

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

New issue...
It is a little difficult to explain but i'll try
imagine one offline only map, a rectangle of a certain area from zoom 9 to 16 with no http link.
While running in offline mode...I discovered that very often cloudgps does not load any part of the map also if i'm over the right zone and the debug window (H) shows me that there is a green square under the cursor.
Moving, zooming in or out after some time it loads the map (it is not a mumble state or too cpu load)

What do you think about?

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

On my N900 i'm getting the exact same output as xes for ldd... and dpkg -s libqtm-11-location commands but gps still doesn't work.

xes, just for comparisons sake, i'm using

- Latest CSSU update
- Kernel Power 49
- I have AGPS disabled

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Sorry, the situation is the same....

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Thanks,

Finally I got CloudGPS working on my N900.:)

Again, very big thanks.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

a new little issue..

Sometimes cloudgps crashes without any message as soon it loads all the current map view...

A few times, it repeated the crash until the next reboot.

Sorry but until now i haven't any addictional info.
I suppose i should start it from a term to view some error message.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

I suppose you should, also syslog and dmesg output here.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Thanks for spotting that. I suspect that the libs/linking are the main cause of GPS issue and I wanted to prepare a static linked to confirm/rule that out. Unfortunately my dev env broke and I had to address it. I did not have enough time to prepare static linked version during the weekend. I hope to find time during the following weekend to do so.

Even without static version we can make some progress. Lets check if the libqtm-location version difference is related to GPS issue. Could you post the version of libqtm-location installed on your N900?

On my N900 (GPS working fine in CloudGPS) version 1.0.2-maemo4+0m5 of libqtm-location is installed. Is your version different?

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Not sure if I understand correctly what you are trying to convey to me but I will try with the closest thing I can think of. I think you are describing a situation when background tile loading threads hang. I have explained that earlier in the context of downloading from network, but reading from eMMC can also easily get stuck for a long while when some background process uses a lot of IO (for example tracker processes). This is the original explanation from post #300:

In practice I find restarting the application resolving this state of 'not loading anything because of stuck threads'.

Non-blocking API use is still not here. I spent some time on it and tried to implement a proof of concept using non-blocking API. While it somehow worked it introduced a lot of new problems. The loading does not work that bad currently and right now I plan to focus on other things. Will get back to non-blocking API if I have more time.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

GPS not working :(

libqtm-location 1.0.2-maemo4+0m5+0cssu1 (so, a diff there!)

I also have libqtm-11-location installed.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Same for me. I'll have a look at what was changed for the CSSU version.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Well, there shouldn't be any real differences. The only patch added is to add a signal for updating the media library.

It definitely is down to this though - running "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qtm11/lib /opt/cloudgps/cloudgps" gets the GPS working perfectly. I've added in a shell script to do this, and changed the .desktop file to point to that instead.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

I can confirm this.
I suppose that the problem appears after the install of libqtm-12 (that now contains also libqtm-12-location)

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

I don't think so, no. The only way to actually use libqtm-11 or libqtm-12 seems to be to either set a run-time library path in the application, or to override the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in a startup script. Neither install anywhere in the default link path, so will never be used otherwise.

I'm not sure why it's working for some people though - either the CSSU version of the libqtm-location package is faulty, or they're somehow linking to the libqtm-11-location version instead. Rolling back to the old libqtm-location package didn't help though, so it doesn't appear to be (just) that.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Another (maybe definitive) solution...

Please, add at the end of:
/etc/ld.so.conf

this row:
/opt/qtm11/lib

and run:
ldconfig

To verify, run:
ldconfig -v | grep -i qt

Now cloudgps should run without specify any LD_LIBRARY_PATH.


After this....

I don't want hurt anyone... just for fun i have installed all the development libs inside my N900.... (Oh yeah!)
....and rebuilt cloudgps 0.6.5 using libqtm-12....

So, here it is an attached binary for the brave one ....if someone would make a test. (in my opinion it seems a little faster - maybe because compiled directly on the device? - or due to libqtm12?)
In this case you have to specify the path /opt/qtm12/lib in ld.conf.so.

After this, i'm using a general wrapper (to log the errors) like this:

#!/bin/sh
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qtm11/lib /opt/cloudgps/cloudgps.orig 2>&1 >> /tmp/cloudgps.log
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qtm12/lib /opt/cloudgps/cloudgps.orig 2>&1 >> /tmp/cloudgps.log
# /opt/cloudgps/cloudgps.orig 2>&1 >> /tmp/cloudgps.log
/opt/cloudgps/cloudgps.q12 2>&1 >> /tmp/cloudgps.log

EDIT.
Pay attention, just corrected the lines to add in ld.so.conf

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

How to download maps for offline use on the N9? It doesn't have Modrana....

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Look in the first post.... You could use mobac.



@dwaradzyn
Concerning the binary (cloudgps.q12) of my previous post...
Observing the gps fix time, my impressions are very very positive.... could you take a look at that and give me your opinion?

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

That did it for me! Just added line for qtm11 because this is installed version of libqtm-location. Now cloudgps shows gps status again and searches for location.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Nice!

Adding /opt/qtm11/lib and /opt/qtm12/lib to ld.so.conf also worked for me.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

I am testing with your compiled version, @xes, but it is not working anyway. I do not see any libqt location or something like that in /opt.

Where are mines? I will continue searching for a solution.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

I do not think it can be safe to define that in ld.so.conf because you are mixing libraries. If the program use first the incorrect one it will not work. But as a workaround... ok

Anyway your compiled version is not working for me. It say the same: Position unknown Speed: ----

but in the console it show:
CloudGPS 0.6.5
loaded the Generic plugin
loaded the N900 plugin
Compass sensor is not present

Location source initialized
GPS Satellite info source initialized
Accelerometer initialized
Opening font /opt/cloudgps/res/nokia_pure.ttf , size: 32


And when I close cloudgps:
Segmentation fault


And the satellite icon does not appears when cloudgps is open but with another program that uses the gps that does not happens.

I finally found my libraries:
/ $ ls /opt/qt*/lib/*Loc*
/opt/qtm11/lib/libQtLocation.so
/opt/qtm11/lib/libQtLocation.so.1
/opt/qtm11/lib/libQtLocation.so.1.1
/opt/qtm11/lib/libQtLocation.so.1.1.4
/opt/qtm12/lib/libQtLocation.so
/opt/qtm12/lib/libQtLocation.so.1
/opt/qtm12/lib/libQtLocation.so.1.2
/opt/qtm12/lib/libQtLocation.so.1.2.0


But still my cloudgps is not working.

bye

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Each library specifies a library name. If the same library name is used in multiple libraries, only the latest version will be loaded. It may well cause issues for programs which don't work with the newer version though.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 

Yes, in fact you are right. I have just corrected my previous post to avoid confusion.
I have no other apps requiring qtm11 and it seems that qtm12 is considered the stable version.

@anyeos
sorry that my binary doesn't work in your phone. I suggest you to run ldd cloudgps.q12 and check all the required libs.

BUT don't forget, this is only a trial build made with my phone that i decided to share. Nothing more. Maybe it runs, maybe not.
You are free to try. ;)
