Used the QGIS org Ubuntu nightly (2.17) repo and all is well.

[Qgis-user] 2017 World Bank Land and Poverty Conference CfP and Registration

[Arnulf Christl]

Folks,
following up from the FOSS4G 2016 conference in Bonn where "Land
Information" was one of the four key topics this CfP from the World Bank
may be of special interest to us.

I have personally attended the last three editions of this conference.
Land Information is obviously all about geospatial and location but the
community is widely unaware of the potential of geospatial software and
even less so about Open Source. There are only a handful of software
vendors in the domain and practically no Open Source providers.

In his keynote at FOSS4G Klaus Deininger (Lead Economist at the
Development Research Group of the World Bank) specifically asked for
support from the Open Source Geospatial Community to support the Land
Information Domain with technical know-how (see the video of his
presentation
).
If we (from the Open Source community in general) manage to get in a
dozen of talks then we may even get a separate conference thread.
Software tools from the FOSS4G domain like QGIS, PostGIS, OpenLayers,
etc. already permeate many projects but are oftentimes not sustainable
because of a lack of service providers and direct contact to the
communities. This domain has basically been waiting for us.

Please note that the deadline for abstracts is approaching fast! See
below for details:

The 2017 World Bank Conference on Land and Poverty

will be held from *March 20 to 24, 2017* in Washington D.C. under the

for more information on conference themes, submission instructions and
review process.

*Call for lightning talk proposals: innovation day on March 23*

The conference is partnering with the Open Geospatial Consortium
 to organize the 'Innovation Day'
("lightning talks" presenting use cases, followed by hands-on
demonstrations). Please submit proposal for a lightning talk through
theconference website

(see also priority themes, submission instructions

and review process).

*Call for MasterClass proposals: learning & knowledge sharing day on
March 24*

The knowledge sharing and learning day (March 24) is an opportunity for
presenting and discussing cutting edge tools, research approaches, and
methodologies during focused 90 min sessions. Please submit proposal for
a MasterClass through the conference website (please view the submission
guidelines
).


*Early bird registration*

We encourage you to take advantage of the /early bird registration rate
of $250/, which will expire on December 15, 2016.

Re: [Qgis-user] Style editor: Custom SVG fill issue: QGIS Tutorial

[Burghardt.Scholle]

Hi,

for me it works perfect (QGIS 2.16.3, Windows 64bit). I can use my own SVG's to 
produce custom filled symbols. Which QGIS version do you use?

Regards
Burghardt

Thanks, That worked when I added the path and selected the symbol that
way, but selecting the symbol file using the file selection dialogue
still didn't work.  I take it that's a bug?

Re: [Qgis-user] Split features using Geopackage layer?

Ah that’s fine thank you Andreas and Even.

As far as I know, Nyall Dawson is currently working on fixing this, as part of 
his work on unique value constraints (provider provided or qgis provided where 
the provider doesn't support it). But not sure about the details. Certainly, 
PostgreSQL and Geopackage are top priorities for that. And his work targets 
QGIS 3.x, not for 2.x

Greetings,

Andreas

Hi

I have a geopackage polygon layer and I am trying to split a simple feature
within it.

When I try to do it, I get an error message 'failed to insert, UNIQUE
constraint failed'.

Is this a known issue with splitting features using the geopackage format,
it could it be how the layer is set up?

No, it is due to the fact that when splitting the feature, the newly created
feature receives the same 'fid' value (the first column in the attribute table)
as the other part, and that when creating the feature, the fid, when set, is
honoured. Hence given the duplication of fid, the failure. Before saving the
edits, you can manually unset the fid.

Although something should probably be done either in the splitting tool to
unset the fid column of the new feature. Or perhaps the provider could be made
more tolerant in the case of duplicated FID to assign a new one.

This could happen for other formats handled by OGR like spatialite (if not
going throug the QGIS spatialite provider), FileGDB, etc...

Would probably deserve a ticket in the bug tracker.

Even
