Updated SolydX - no FoxTrotGPS

[mklym]

I did the latest update to SolydX this morning, when finished I restarted the unit and went to fire up FoxTrot to download more maps. When I clicked on the menu entry for FT, I saw the program flash open, then immediately closed. Any one have a fix?

I don't have the time to search the Solyd forums. Trying to get 5 systems built before Fri, got 4 hrs sleep last night.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

First of all make a copy of your home directory ....maps should be in there and you don't want to lose them.
Then I would right click foxtrot and set as favorite again.
Could this be a permissions issue? Are you admin or custom in users and groups? I chose admin.
Could solydx have changed the way the menu is handled..or maybe it's buggy.

IOW I don't know but I'm thinking about it.

I am in the admin group.
I have over 7mil items, totaling over 5.8GB in my maps folder. It is backed up every night.
I will try those suggestions when I get time, maybe later tonight. Been at it since 05:30.
Thanks for the suggestions.

If you fire it up through the command line in a terminal, there's likely to be an error message displayed.

Here are the errors from terminal.

The autocentering bit is because I don't run the GPS if all I am doing is downloading maps at different levels of zoom.

I never did add FT to the favorites menu, hit the surrender key, tap accessories, tap FT. Surrender key=super key 'cause it looks like a waving white flag on the emissive kb of the 29MK4. Bill surrenders!

I like it. lol

[kode-niner]

This is the relevant bit:
Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_entry_set_text: assertion 'GTK_IS_ENTRY (entry)' failed

From what I've read so far is that it's a recently discovered bug that has been filed upstream in Debian's bug track, so this is not specifik to SolydX.

I don't know much about this distro, but I would look into downgrading foxtrotgps or track down what other subystems were upgraded in order to make sense of how it broke in the first place.

Here's mine:
Running LMDE 17

connection to gpsd SUCCEEDED

Note GPSD succeeded. I have seen such entries before when running a GUI actuated program from Terminal. Not the fail one. Don't know why.....takes too much thinking.

What say to reloading foxtrotgps?

[kode-niner]

Heh, GTK related warning messages aren't all that unusual. Go ahead and re-install foxtrotgps if you wish, but like I said, if it were me I would look into seeing what was upgraded and follow the path to downgrading anything related to foxtrotgps application, data and gpsd. It's not a simple task, though.

I have Foxtrotgps working again. See this link:
