Problems which have come to light after the 8.0 image went to press
Many of these problems will be fixed in our code repository now, and eligible to go into a possible 8.0.1 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."
- New bugs may be reported and known bugs viewed on the OSGeo Trac system.
Instructions for changing language and keyboard layout
- Problem
The instructions for changing the language and keyboard layout in the desktop-login welcome message are somewhat out of date.
- Solution
The instructions found in the main Help page are up to date, use them instead.
GeoNode
- Problem
Layers do not properly load.
- Solution
In discussion.
GMT and MB-System
- Problem
GMT in Ubuntu 14.04 has a bug reading the coastline files causing the pscoast program to crash or never complete.
- Solution
In discussion.
GRASS GIS IPython Examples
- Problem
Using the Processing (SEXTANTE) Toolbox in QGIS breaks GRASS's startup history file, which causes the IPython examples to fail.
- Solution
Users will have to start GRASS and reset the main GIS Database path to /home/user/grassdata, then start in a GRASS session and exit from it again. The new startup history file is saved upon exiting from the GRASS terminal session.
OpenJUMP
- Problem
Fails to start on systems with more than 4GB of RAM.
- Solution
Edit the /usr/bin/openjump startup script and comment out JAVA_MAXMEM= on line 185.
uDig
- Problem
The program crashes the first time you run it.
- Solution
Just try again, after that it works ok.
Other
(minor issues)
- Mapfish database exists in QGIS's list of Postgres databases, but is not available.
- The 52nSOS database in QGIS's list of Postgres databases is actually "52nsos", all lower case. You can fix that with the [Edit] button.
