OpenCPN not starting

[steel_cruiser]

Greetings,

I have spent several evenings browsing different forums to seek help on the following topic.

I installed OpenPlotter to Raspi 3 using a SD card image after which I updated both OpenPlotter (now 1.2.0 alpha) and OpenCPN (now 5.0). I also did apt-get update and upgrade.

OpenPlotter starts and the window says also OpenCPN starting....Done.

My problem:
OpenCPN should start fullscreen on startup, but it does not.

When I try to start it from terminal ('opencpn') I get the following error messages:

and your program used 3.0 (wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1009,wx containers,compatible with 2.8)...

...and nothing happens. There used to be a few more error messages (alsa related). Trying out several solutions I have been able to get rid of many, but OpenCPN still does not start.

To my undertanding, alsa refers to sound. However sound seems to be working despite of the error messages.

All help greatly appreciated!

Start from scratch deleting the folder /home/pi/.opencpn and type opencpn in terminal to start.
If nothing happens uninstall opencpn and install again:
sudo apt autoremove opencpn
sudo apt install opencpn

Thanks for the advice. I tried deleting the .opencpn and manually start opencpen. The same error messages appeared as mentioned in my original post.

Then I did autoremove opencpn - no problems. When I tried 'sudo apt install opencpn' I got the following:

 pi@openplotter:~ $ sudo apt install opencpn

Any suggestions?

Are you sure you are running openplotter 1.2.0?

could you run "sudo apt update" and copy here what the terminal says?
