After install the deb package from Gerrit's blog and start Navi from shell, it prompts the incompatibility issue with D-bus. It says navi needs -rdynamic for dbus lib? Anyone got the same issue?

mmn, never seen that message yet.
I do know why it won't load from app launcher, I will upload a fixed version shortly (it is due to my call tracing code, nothing intended for SVN)

Which OS are you running?

that makes me wonder: why lemmyslender wasn't affected from the issue?

It's diablo. I'll try it again to put more clear logs here.

Well, Just launched it from shell. It's caused by missing of machine-id file of dbus.

hi noZLine

There is a new tested .deb on my blog with the fixes. (But my ISP is doing maintenance until at least 0100 EST)

Your symptom is due to a missing .service file in /usr/share/dbus-1/services (due to me resetting a Makefile). This also prevents screen unblank from working.

The 'it won't launch from app launcher' was due to some new call tracing code trying to create a trace.txt file, eventhough call tracing was disabled.

Hi Ernia, no idea how it could work for Lemmyslender unless he was doing something funky with the install.

it seems to me that the new deb is broken, dpkg refuses to install it and xarchiver on my pc can't open data.tar.gz inside it, while it can do that in your svn-2006 .deb.
i downloaded it three times, can you check it, please?
thanks a lot

I don't think I was doing anything funky with the install. Just downloading the deb and installing.

I have gone back and forth several times with several different versions. I normally use personal launcher to start navit, but it did launch from the normal menu in extras albeit with the generic navit.xml. I keep my normal navit.xml in the same directory as my maps and other settings on my sd card.

I did find the section of navit.xml that calls out the nav and announcer icons, changed to png from svg extentsions. Still did not show up when navigating.

I did notice in the 2001 svn most icons were along the lines of nav_left_1.xpm, and the recent svn icons are nav_left_1_bk or nav_left_1_wh (black and white arrows). Oddly, my far older navit.xml layout section correctly calls out the new icons w/ bk designations. They still don't show up though.

I did confirm that while on battery screen unblank works when there is a gps signal.

hi ernia
I reloaded the SVN2042 .deb file this morning. My ISP was doing maintenace during the time I was uploading it last night so I not surprised the file was messed up. It is definitely fine now.

Hi Lemmyslender,
I can't create routes using town etc because the N800 doesn't have a locale for Canada. Can you describe how you create a route using POI's? Then I can try debugging the icon issue.
BTW, starting Navit from personal launcher islike doing it from Xterm, do you prefix the command with run-standalone.sh? I think that sets up the env same as if starting from App Launcher.

Gerrit

thanks gerrit, this time it do works.
if you need to navigate between points (wich works without a gps signal too) you can add every point you need in bookmark.txt in /home/user/.navit/ directory.
you can do it echoing (or editing) a new row like that:

mg:11.53060 44.5315142 type=bookmark label="sazzini"

where 11xxx and 44xxx are respectively longitude and latitude, both in DD.dddd coordinates. (maybe it could works in center.txt too, i haven't tested). you can get coordinates from some online service like google map or similar.
then from action menu (forgive me if names aren't exactly the same, my menus are in italian) tap bookmarks, tap the name of start point bookmark you have created and then tap set as position, after that come back again actions>bookmarks>destination_bookmarks_name and then tap set as destination, wait a little and route will be created.
if you can't see route on the map change zoom level to make navit redraw the map.
