Would OpenPlotter work on Ubuntu?

[verkerkbr]

I have just installed openplotter-settings in ubuntu focal 64 and it works ok, no errors about GDM3 or anything.
There is only a nonm critical issue, loaded sources are for bionic and not for focal, it works but the correct way should be loading focal sources. This will be fixed in next openplotter-settings update and then we will be ready for the next Debian version too when released.

Hi. Sailoog,


OpenPlotter add-ons works very well on my Focal version for AMD64. But with the Focal version for the RPI I get the mentioned errors.

Now trying the beta Groovy Gorilla on my AMD64. This works very well with kernel 5.8. OpenCPN is also in de repository. However it is onlty version 5.

Now installed version 5.2 by changing the settings in the server addresses to Focal instead of Groovy.

Works also and is very fast. Almost too fast for screen movement. The plugins can also installed, including the Oesenc plugin.

Not yet tried the Openplotter add-ons.

But not yet working with an Oesenc card and the dongle.

Regards,

Bram

At first the plugins work with OpenCPN 5.2 also the Oesenc plugin. But still not working.

Then I revert to an older problem and installed libusb-0.1-4 and libusb -1.0.-0

Now I have my Oesenc charts on Groovy Gorilla working in combination with the Oesenc dongle.

It is always the problem with the missing libusb. to get the dongle working.
