Black flashes still there with latest beta. Sadly.

First, this is such a useful piece of software. Thank you. Just a suggestion. I wonder if it might be a good idea to include an optional panel at the top or bottom of the map showing the aircraft’s speed, altitude and heading in large type. This would be useful when connected to a simulator and more noticeable. It could be semi transparent so you can also see the map below. Just a thought. All the best Upkeep

Thanks Alex. 'About Little Navmap' opens OK and I can see the references to OpenSSL. The Map Tiles also work. As far as simplifying OpenSSL is concerned, please don't do this just for me! I can easily make the changes you suggested each time I update. Thanks again for your help. Best wishes Upkeep

Thanks very much for the quick reply, Alex. To answer your question. I do appear to have the latest OpenSSL. It is listed as 1.1.1n. Deleting the entries suggested in your post does work and LNM deploys and opens as usual. So that’s fine. Thanks for that. I will remember this for future updates. The problem may or may not result from the fact that the RPi does not appear to have a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu folder. In the RPi, I think the corresponding folder is arm-linux-gnueabihf, which also appears in /usr/lib. Anyway, thanks very much for sorting this out and for producing such a wonderful piece of software of course. It is indispensable. all the best upkeep

Thanks very much for the new update: 2.8.8. I am having a bit of a problem installing the new 2.8.8. version on my Raspberry Pi (previous versions including 2.8.7 were fine). I always follow the earlier instructions on this thread and they usually work successfully. The problem with 2.8.8. comes in the Deploy stage of the instructions. It is almost certainly down to the changes made in the latest version concerning OpenSSL and mentioned in the Changelog, as it stops during the creation of the 'lib' folder and produces the following message in the console: cp: cannot stat '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1': No such file or directory make: *** [Makefile:1385: deploy] Error 1 When I then look at the 'lib' folder within the 'deploy' folder, it is incomplete with a lot of files missing and therefore LNM won't open. However if I copy the whole lib file from a previous version and add the missing files it works fine. I have checked and have the latest OpenSSL and the Pi is fully updated and on the latest software. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks very much. Best wishes Upkeep

Thanks for your help, toby23. And for your advice. Yes, Ordenador does work for me without the dll. Thanks again for explaining.

The tutorial is immensely helpful, and very clear to follow. Thank you for your hard work on this - it brings all the very useful advice in this thread into one place. A bit of a puzzle: I just ran the XnViewMP section only and reduced the textures to 2048 and they seem to work very well. I did not run Ordenador and the second section of the tutorial concerning MiMaps as I was a bit reluctant to download a .dll (rightly or wrongly I have tended to avoid this in the past), which I am sure I would need as I have Win64 not 32. Admittedly I have only tried a few airports, but all seem to show the liveries OK. I wonder if anyone has had this experience? Maybe if I try a specific airport I will find the liveries with errors? Anyway, thanks again for the tutorial - it certainly helps to reduce the space taken and offers fps improvements as well..

Yes, I have exactly the same problem. Zibo on beta 4. The flashing seems to last about ten seconds then stops. And then returns randomly. It seems to affect everything, not just the clouds, with severe flashing inside the cockpit. It hurts the eyes a bit and I have to look away!

Many thanks Sten. I have amended the script as suggested and will try it for the next update. Thanks again. Best wishes Upkeep

Once again, thank you both for your help. I have tried again, this time using the correct files Alex stated above, and it does compile with no problems. It took a while on the Pi but it worked fine. So thanks again for your assistance. I will make sure in future I get the right files, and compile from scratch. All the best Upkeep

Thank you both for the very quick reply. Much appreciated. First, I am running Raspberry OS Bullseye 64 bit on a Raspberry Pi 4. All dependencies installed as per the instructions. To compile I used the 2.6.19 Release version, Source Code zip file for LNM. Lower down that page is the Development version 2.7, which I also tried. For Atoolls there appeared to be no release version, so I downloaded the master. I am not sure what version this was as I could not see anything giving a version number. The most recent update appears to be in the src section and was made yesterday, while the rest of the files are older. I have not had to compile Marble again during previous updates (just atools and LNM), so I have not tried doing it all from scratch, ie Marble Atools and LNM. I will try to do this but I am not sure where the latest Marble is - the one I can google is under albar965/marble but is six years old. A link to the latest Marble and Atools (if I have the wrong one) would be very helpful. Thanks again for your help Best wishes Upkeep

I have found that these very helpful instructions are fine for LNM versions up to .18, but I am having difficulties with either .19 or the Development version. Everything appears to go OK until I get to the command 'make deploy' right at the end, ie git clone --single-branch --branch release/2.6 https://github.com/albar965/littlenavmap.git mkdir build-littlenavmap-release && cd build-littlenavmap-release qmake ../littlenavmap/littlenavmap.pro CONFIG+=release make -j4 make copydata make deploy It throws up a number of errors when this command is made, and LNM cannot be run. I can of course list the errors (it would be quite long to present here) but if anyone has been successful compiling .19 for Raspberry Pi (Bullseye) it would be very helpful to know what needs to be changed in the script. Thanks very much. Upkeep

All working now! Used the releases of LNM and Atools and everything compiled OK. I did need both these release files to get it to work. Thank you all so much for your help. So good to be able to use this great program on the pi! All the best Upkeep

Thanks Alex. I will try with the latest releases and let you know how I get on. Thanks again for your help Upkeep

I decided to have another attempt using the same installation. I have delayed using a new sd card (I'll explain why later). I am afraid I still have failed to get it working. I am clearly doing something wrong, so some help will be very much appreciated. This is what I did, following Sten's instructions: 1. Completed atools section. Everything appeared to work OK, although when entering the qmake ../atools etc command I did notice a line saying 'build_options.pro not found'. But as I said it seemed to work. 2. Completed marble section. No problems 3. Littlenavmap section: As you know the git clone command does not work for me (see comments above), so I downloaded the repository as Alex suggested using the green button. I then extracted this to the 'projects' directory with the other folders. The extracted folder was named 'littlenavmap-master'. I therefore changed the name of the folder to just 'littlenavmap' so the subsequent scripting in the instructions would work. I then followed the instructions from that point. In noticed during the make process that in the terminal the following line appeared at the end: make *** [Makefile: 3078: databasemanager.o] Error 1 I continued to the end of the instructions to finish with make deploy. There did not appear to be problems. Now I assume now to get LNM to open you need to run littlenavmap-release.sh, which I did (in the correct directory) by the command: ./littlenavamp.sh This was the result in the terminal: ./littlenavamap-release.sh: line 11: /home/pi/projects/build-littlenavmap-release/littlenavmap: no file of directory. So I am not at all sure what I have done wrong. There is also not mention of ABarthel in the .config filer - so the installation has not worked somewhere. Anyway I would be very grateful for any hints as to what I have done wrong with my latest attempt to install. Many many thanks Upkeep PS: I mentioned earlier in the post about possibly using a new sd card so that I might try again to use gitclone for littlenavmap. The strange thing was that yesterday evening I was using a different raspberry pi (this one runs 32 bit) and I was attempting to git clone another repository (a music player) and I had exactly the same message as mentioned in my posts above - so I am not sure what the actual cause of it is.
