To downgrade, you should uninstall the old version, run the gconftool-2 --recursive-unset command, then install the 1.1 deb (downloadable from here).

OK, most of my issues are now sorted - it appears to be an instalation issue. I had originally just installed flite, hoping it might work with mm 1.1. However, as I said, it simply segfaulted. Installing the SQL library and mm 1.2 didn't mend it however. Something wierd there.

Anyway, I uninstalled all 3 packages and reinstalled in the order

(reg clean)
1) SQL lib
2) MM 1.2.1 (as it was by then)
3) flite

and now all appears much better. However the /dev/rfcomm0 issue is still there. Would 1.2.2 help with this?

1.2.2 works fine with direct connection to my Adapt BT GPS receiver, but when I try to use /dev/rfcomm0 (after connecting to it with bt plugin) it crashes directly on launch.

I have to zap the preferences to get things to work again.

I haven't verified that rfcomm still works with Maemo Mapper, although there should not have been any changes that would have affected the interoperability of Maemo Mapper with rfcomm. I'll test it out and try to find the problem.

Thanks, excellent service. If you do release a new version, is there any chance you could include the patch to maintain the GPS connection with the cover on?

Seconded!!

As a matter of fact, to underline how much I want this I'll go right over to paypal and pay my donation (which I should have done long ago, of course, but let's not put it off any longer:-)

That code is already in v1.2.2 (and v1.2.1, too, but not v1.2). In order to keep the GPS connection enabled when the cover is on, you must disable the "Disconnect when cover on device" option in the Control Panel's "Connectivity" control. Otherwise, the operating system will automatically turn off the WiFi and Bluetooth radios.

Good news, guys. I reproduced the rfcomm crash and was able to stomp the causal bug.

I subsequently released Maemo Mapper v1.2.3. As usual, you may download the new release from the Maemo Mapper Garage Files page, or you can upgrade straight from the Garage Extras Repository (v1.2.3 is available now).

The bug may have been able to cause crashes even without using rfcomm, depending on your GPS receiver, so even if you do not use rfcomm, if you experience crashes, please upgrade to Maemo Mapper v1.2.3 before filing a bug.

And let me know if you experience crashes with the new version.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I had previously installed version 1.1, ran it with no problems. Tonight I uninstalled it and installed 1.2.3 via the repository. It will not load from the menu, and when running it via an xterm I get a segmentation fault. And I'm not even using a GPS yet.

Earlier in this thread there's info on zapping your old preferences. That worked for me.
