Recent builds of navit.
being bored yesterday, i tried the most recent packages at that address.
it still crashes now and then (not necessarily only when not started from cli) -- but not everytime and not that fast (if), as it used to do.

i took care of using the navit.xml included with that package, to make sure no incompatibilities will cause troubles.

so, with that packages, it's a great step forward -- and there's a dbg package available helping to get useful stacktraces when navit crashes.

what's actually more interesting: who and how did he/she create those packages?

He is a navit developer and n900 owner. He's working mostly on Qml GUI, because internal GUI just suxx. %)
I don't know how is he building those packages. But i can ask him.
But i doubt that there will be better builds than from him.

About this crash, main problem: navit does not crashes when started with debugger.

it's nbot a question of better, but of standing a slight chance to fix things myself and build packages to test that.

sounds like a race condition, i suspected something already judging from the messages on the console.
do you really mean "debugger" like gdb or only the -dbg package provided?

Hello,
Thanks to all here. I got navit running on my N900 with our help.

1) navit is unstable if started from GUI
I think the D-Bus configuration or implementaion in navit is not correct.
I use this "navit.desktop":
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=Navit
Exec=/opt/navit/bin/navit
Icon=navit
#X-Osso-Service=org.navit_project.navit
#X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
Terminal=true

May this is not a good idea. I don't know for what this D-Bus is used. But it runs stabel with this configuration.

2) I think we should create a new package and upload it into the repository.
To be able to simply install navit and get a working configuration.

Is there some where an explanation about create the navit package (on N900 or on Win XP). Then i can do it.

yet another reason to build myself: the current qt-related packages (qt drawing area and qml ui) depend already on qt4.7!
with qt4.6 still in the wake of the mystic pr1.2, i don't dare to guess, when qt4.7 will be available for the n900 ...

that's actually a good one. while testing yesternight, it seems indeed very stable.

welcome to the club.
my best guess is, somebody will release that top-secret information together with pr 1.2 ...

That's right, yet you say you've tried his latest packages.

How did you install them without qt4.7? Just forced depends and they worked or what?

i didn't. still using gtk drawing area and internal gui.

somewhere i read, on maemo the qt drawing area would be faster -- i'd love to test that.
and i even would like to test the qml interface (screenshots anyone?).

but, alas.

The qt painter ui IS much faster, I'm using some older version of it... What's best is that autoscrolling works with the car being in the middle of the screen and the map moving constantly, just like regular nav soft...
