Problems which have come to light after the 4.0.0 image went to press
These will be fixed in the 4.0.1 release. Fixes given below can be applied by hand; USB-drive and Virtual-machine users will only have to do it once, DVD users will have to re-do it every time they boot. "Sorry for the inconvenience."
GMT and MB-System
- Problem
A last minute change to a login script meant that GMT was removed from the path, causing problems for things that rely on GMT programs.
- Solution
- Open the /home/user/.bashrc file in a text editor (like nano), and edit last two lines of the file to be:
PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/ossim:/usr/local/ossim/bin" export PATH
- Additional paths can remain in the PATH definition as long as $PATH: is first.
- You will have to restart any open Terminals.
AtlasStyler and Geopublisher
- Problem
The user account does not own the AtlasStyler and Geopublisher configuration files, so can not save changes to them.
- Solution
- Open a Terminal and run the following commands:
sudo chown -R user.user /home/user/.AtlasStyler sudo chown -R user.user /home/user/.Geopublisher
The sudo password is "user".
Mac and Windows installers
- Problem
Due to a change in the way that Ubuntu connects to the CD/DVD drive, links to the installer directories are broken. The directories themselves are fine, and will load without problem when the disc is inserted into a Mac or PC. (you can find them in the root (/) dir)
- Solution
- Open a Terminal and run the following commands:
sudo rm /usr/local/share/MacInstallers sudo rm /usr/local/share/WindowsInstallers sudo ln -s /cdrom/WindowsInstallers /usr/local/share sudo ln -s /cdrom/MacInstallers /usr/local/share
The sudo password is "user".
mapserver icon
- Problem
The mapserver icon tries to open up a deprecated web page.
- Solution
Change the properties on the mapserver launchers so that it opens "firefox http://localhost/mapserver_demos/itasca/" (which is the mapserver demo).
- ~/Desktop/Web\ Services/mapserver.desktop
- /usr/share/applications/osgeo-mapserver.desktop
Other
(minor issues)
- Geomajas Quickstart not listed on Overview page: Added link by hand to overview.html
- Update documentation. Extra quickstarts added for installing onto a USB and into a VM, plus a number of minor tweaks. checkout the trunk/doc directory and trunk/bin/install_main_docs.sh, then re-run "cd trunk/bin ; sudo ./install_main_docs.sh"
