Loss of Power, loss of OpenCPN config
#1
Hiya,

When I loose power to my Pi running OpenPlotter, I also loose the OpenCPN config....

Next time I boot the Pi everything has gone and its like you are starting OpenCPN for the first time.

Has anyone else solved this issue?

Kind regards

Jason

maybe more info on version etc would enable better advise Wink

Have you tried to close ocpn after all your setting adjustments and reopen? - as far as I recall ocpn stores the ini data only on close and not when leaving the dialogues !

Hello - you have to quit OpenCPN gracefully - and give it some Time to save his Config.
It shows the grey Screen of shutting down if you hit the CloseBox.

Sometimes it is really usefull to have an Backup of its config handy - so make one now:

cp -R /home/pi/.opencpn /home/pi/.opencpn-backup

to restore:
mv ~/.opencpn ~/.opencpn-bad
cp -R ~/.opencpn-backup ~/.opencpn
