Hi,

This is on a new installation of Little NavMap on starting up the application I get error message saying Error while checking for updates at "https://albar965.github,io/littlenavmap-version":Error creating SSL context ().

This happens on my client PC but not my Flying PC.  If I enter the URL directly into my web browser is download the file.

Any ideas of what is happening?

Thanks

 

Linux? Known problem and already fixed in the current release candidate.

Windows? Install the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013. Install both 32 and 64 bit versions as stated in the manual.

Windows 10,  but I checked and I've got 2015 only installed and falsely assumed that will suffice.  I'll install the 2013 ones and see how I go.

Thanks

Rick

BTW - I'm running version 1.8.5 (revision 3e12921)

OK - all up and running now thanks

Now to checking out what looks like a great product. 

And thanks for speedy reply

Rick

Glad it is working now. Enjoy your flying.

Alex

I had the same problem, so thank you for the solution. Great to use.

Hi Alex,

I know it is an old one. I get a similar error message:

Error while checking for updates at

"https://albar965.github.io/littlenavmap-version":

SSL handshake failed

 

The log does not give me much info...
Maybe that one, crypro library...

LNM 2.8.7
Ubuntu 22.10 (I know, 22.04 is supported, but maybe it helps :-)

Not a big deal, I can manually check for updates.
Just want to inform you.

Forget my last proposal. It does not work. I removed the post.

The problem is not only updates but this means that all network communication including online map tile downloads will fail.

I just found out that there is an issue in the Linux build.

Edit: You have to install openssl 1.1 in the system.

Edit 2: Here is a hotfix: https://github.com/albar965/littlenavmap/releases/download/v2.8.7/LittleNavmap-linux-22.04-2.8.7-openssl-1.1.tar.gz
