Re: [ANNOUNCE] Marble - Find Your Way and Explore the World
 
known problem, like 1 year old or older. I can't recall what it been exactly, something with qt4.7 vs.qt4.7.4 or similar numbers. I'm seeing same problem here since last update, on CSSU-T. Alas I wouldn't know which "other packet" to update to fix this, since everything up to date here.

Trying to investigate what's been the root cause and how to fix

Code:

~ # apt-cache policy libqt4-core
libqt4-core:
  Installed: 1:4.7.4~git20110505+cssu6

FWIW

/j

[UPDATE] "fixed itself" with installation of CSSU-Tmaemo5.1 as of 2 days ago. Root cause unclear. Maybe some rogue package messed with my qt lib files and recent cssu update fixed that by qt update it comes with.

I think the fix might heve been done by some post install script. I had problems with some icons once and after installing an unrelated package using HAM it went away because the post install script ran some icon cache rebuild script. Maybe is something similar with this issue.

Hi,

After installing marble in a fresh system (reflashed) I see that the icon that it is shown in the applications menu is very low resolution and blurry. Do you kow where the icon is stored? Why the other apps have good looking icons but not marble?
I do not know if it is relevant but I have installed the humanity theme.

Thanks a lot.

See first part of this post:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1190

Would it be possible for Marble, to follow Monav naming/directory scheme, allowing sharing the same navigational packs between different programs?

Thanks in advance,

From the Modrana thread comes news (via _vi) that development for the n900 has stopped "(sigh)".

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Marble - Find Your Way and Explore the World
 
Pity, especially, that it was without a goodbye from earthwings, who was very friendly, before. Time to uninstall Marble from N900 and from desktop (as I like to share resources - map tiles database - between mobile computer and desktop one), and focus entirely on ModRana.

Why say goodbye if I'm not gone? We have loose plans for a 1.6 release for the N900. That will be around August.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Marble - Find Your Way and Explore the World
 
The current Marble release on the N900 is version 1.4. We had another major stable release on the Desktop in the meantime, Marble 1.5. When we do a new release for the N900, we need to ensure that the changes in that release do not have a negative impact on the N900 version. As far as I know Bernhard had an eye on it since he still uses it regularly and builds from master.

Marble 1.6 just entered (soft) feature freeze with the rest of KDE. Beta and RCs will follow, the release is planned for August. Bernhard said he would do the N900 packaging, but please don't take that for granted unless he confirms it here. He might be more motivated if people step up here and say they're still using good ol' N900 and would like to see new Marble versions :)

Marble is my no1 navigation software and monav maps updates are still regular.

just check your download statistics ;-). Doesn't need further prodding to make you consider providing said update.
Thansk for all the good work!

That remids me that the unofficial download statistics no longer work (probably since the migration). URLs like this:
http://maemo.dadablog.net/AppStats.p...e&os=fremantle
Would previously show number of downloads plotted in time for Devel, Testing & Extras, now it shows only 0. Any ideas what might be wrong ?

BTW, even the detailed download statistics on Downloads don't work - just go to the Marble page (or any other package) on Downloads and click on Download statistics. It shows this:
Code:

Sorry, this application doesn't exist in the Extras repository or there is no download information available! It can take up to 2 weeks after first uploading your package (or creating an entry in http://maemo.org/downloads/ ) before statistics are available.
The combined downloads number is displayed correctly under the name though.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Marble - Find Your Way and Explore the World
 
I apologise if I have spread disinformation WRT marble. After seing that the n900 had skipped version 1.5, I assumed the worse.

Marble is a bloody excellent program and I look forward to a mobile version of 1.6 for the good ol' n900.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Marble - Find Your Way and Explore the World
 
BTW, maybe Marble dev(s) should cooperate with ModRana on MoNav routing pakages?

Hi everyone,

I'm the new maintainer for the N900 version of Marble. I didn't expect so much interest from you for an update, which makes me really happy. I'll prepare a 1.5 release with some important fixes as soon as time permits.

Cheers,
Bernhard

We still have some minor UI bugs on our todo list (322784, 322785 and 322788) and shentey is still waiting for his upload rights to be granted to be able to upload packages to extras-devel (seems the old system got a bit rusty).

That's incorrect. We fixed that 2 days ago and I'm waiting for his further reports on whether it works or not for him now. I also was waiting months*) after I initially granted upload permissions and mailed him that stuff might be partially broken and thus probably needs further action according to what doesn't work yet, based on his feedback.

Sidenote: you never basically upload pkgs to extras-devel, you upload to autobuilder (or rather drop), and autobuilder creates the binaries from your source and should propagate them to extras-devel after successful build. I already remarked that this propagation also is broken atm and you need to ping merlin1991 to do it manually.

I just checked my mails and verified that I never received this mail. As a result of how things appeared to me, I got the wrong impression that there is not a big interest in the N900/Maemo any more. It was only until Earthwings suggested by chance to ask for help in the #maemo channel for getting this thing rolling again. But in the end, I'm happy to have uploaded a new version of Marble successfully with the help of the Maemo community, esp joerg_rw.

shentey 2013-09-01 22:10

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Marble - Find Your Way and Explore the World
 
Version 1.5.5-1 is out which is an important bugfix release for the N900. In particular, some annoying GUI freezes due to network access were resolved.

The packages are now in extras-devel and are waiting for your votes such that they can propagate to the stable repositories, reaching a wider audience. So if the update works fine for you and you've got a spare minute, please vote for:

Be reminded to not update "MoNav routing daemon" when you enable the extras-devel repository, because it's incompatible with Marble.

Enjoy!

You need to promote them to extras-testing repository before anyone can vote ;)

Both package have been promoted to extras-testing now, please vote here:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Marble - Find Your Way and Explore the World
 
I've been out of the loop from this package's progress so long now, but I'm extremely glad to see it has been ongoing. I need to someday catch up on the whole thread, for now I'll say I'm glad, very, that Marble keeps getting updates and uploads here for Maemo. Ever since last summer I've not been a position to be donating, but when I next will be, people responsible will be getting money thrown at them.

I'm a bit saddened that it seems earthwings had to step back from maintaining this, but I understand life happens, and am thankful shentey has come to take over, or whatever exactly has happened (Like I said, I need to catch up on the thread. I'm around a hundred posts behind).

Actually, I have the latest Marble and MoNav Daemon from devel installed at the same time right now and they seem to work perfectly together (installed fine, detected fine, downloaded a map of Florida through the config menu for it fine, routing seems to be working beautifully). Maybe since this was true changes in Marble upstream made it compatible with the newer MoNav as well? I can test more if people tell me what usecases to test.

As an aside, I would really love it if there was a way to select all (or to make the feature more useful for regular users, more generally allow multi-selection at each level of map categorization) of the MoNav routing maps for download at once. Then I could just select everything at once, launch the download, and go to sleep of something, have it ready in the morning, for instance. (Failing that, can someone tell me how to manually do whatever Marble/MoNav do to install the maps, so I can automate it in a shell script or something?)

As I've learned, there is no need for you to activate the extras-devel repository. Before I can ask you to vote for the packages, it's my job to promote the package to extras-testing where the mentioned MoNav package isn't present. So just treat that as false alarm ;)

All available MoNav routing maps for Marble are listed here: http://files.kde.org/marble/newstuff/maps-monav.xml Just pick the .tar.gz files you desire and extract them in ~/MyDocs/.local/share/marble/maps . Afterwards, they should be recognized by Marble, such that you should even see within the Marble GUI if updates are available.
