I created the directory /home/user/.agtl under root.

When running the application:

Did not work from the desktop icon.

Running from the command line (in xterminal) seemed to work

After upgrading from 0.5.9 to 0.6.0 i'm having a constant 'No Fix' error. The compass won't even load even though the GPS has me locked on the map. Anyone else having this problem?

edit: btw, loving the app, great work so far

This may be the effect of AGTL now being more picky about which GPS data it uses. "Old" fixes, such as the one from the GSM network, won't be used anymore if it has seen a real GPS fix in the meantime. Go outside and see if the compass loads if you have a good GPS fix. If it still doesn't, well, then it's a bug :-)

Good news 1: the segfault has indeed gone away. Running:

Code:

python2.5 /opt/advancedcaching/core.py

now works as it should be, issuing help messages etc. No segfault!

Bad news: the Hildon application doesn't start up: it issues this traceback (non Pythonistas, please excuse the horror that is to follow):

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    Core(gui, determine_path())

    self.conn = connect(filename)

Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "'Core' object has no attribute 'gui'" in <bound method Core.__del__ of <Core object at 0x41258490 (__main__+Core at 0x267950)>> ignored

Good news 2: I did this:

Code:

mkdir ~/.agtl

And then it worked fine (from the xterm as well as the menus)! Not creating the directory is an easy mistake to make, I guess. And difficult to debug on the development box.

Not creating the directory is stupid :-) The application should have created the directory on itself. The problem was, it didn't... so I'm preparing 0.6.2. Sooo many bugs in this release... :-/

Perhaps will get there...

BTW, how do you type ~ using the N900 keyboard?

Does 0.6.1.1 work for you all?

You can type special characters by pressing the blue Fn key and then Ctrl.

Press Shift (blue) + Ctrl/Sym and it's there (on my own keyboard setup anyway).

Or log in via SSH and use your full-size keyboard.

Or say:

Code:

cd; mkdir .agtl

Or say:

Code:

mkdir $HOME/.agtl

Or:

Code:

mkdir /home/user/.agtl

There's no shortage of ways to access your home directory. (hint: ~ is shorthand for ‘my home directory’, or /home/user on the N900)

I took the latest version out for a spin this afternoon. After I'd found the clue to the cache location I tried out the AGTL coord calculator. I noticed that where people have 'x' as the multiply symbol then the calculator expects it as a numerical value.

I added the following at line 172 of coordfinder.py (in the find function) to replace all lower case 'x' with '*' instead

text = text.replace('x', '*')

It fixes the problem nicely but there may be a more elegant solution.

Webhamster - Thanks again for the ever improving app
