Hello,

Well, compiling looked good with OpenSUSE 11, but I have what appears
to be the same unreadable menu issue that has been reported
previously.  This is not the slider menu problem with the newer

Could this be a font problem? Maybe a missing font? and Linux is trying 
to make a SWAG on what to print? and not doing so good I would check 
// and compare with the fonts you have 
installed.

[Xastir] XASTIR and openSUSE 11

2008-06-21 Thread Lee Bengston
Hello,

Well, compiling looked good with OpenSUSE 11, but I have what appears
to be the same unreadable menu issue that has been reported
previously.  This is not the slider menu problem with the newer
version of openMotif.  Virtually all text is not readable as shown by
the screen shot at

I used openMotif version 2.24 (same that worked with OpenSUSE 10.2)

The configure text is at
http://www.175moonlight.com/xastir/text/config-Suse_11.txt
if anyone wants to take a look.

This isn't urgent - just playin' around with the new SUSE distro.  I
couldn't find a solution looking through my saved mail.  Also, I am
not seeing anything unusual in the terminal.

Re: [Xastir] Wx Alerts

2008-06-21 Thread Richard Polivka, N6NKO
I haven't run wxalert -> RF in some time. There were several people 
complaining about the traffic on THEIR QUIET channel, plus there were 
several relays not configured properly in the area and even with one hop 
request sent out, the messages were bounced all over the place many times.


Just try and gate all messages from one WX stn and monitor from there.

Bleah.  That seems like a bad idea to me, given that other log files are
meant to be just that.



It was the first step in making it possible to have Xastir shut down
or crash and being able to start it up with the same info on the
screen.  Sorry you don't like it.


  

Actually, another possibility is that since the actual value of "relatively
current" is "15 days" as hard-coded in util.c's 
"load_wx_alerts_from_log_working_sub", that these ancient alerts are still 
just considered relative current.



It's because there's a 1 to 31 day entry in the weather alerts, so
we split the difference and go 15 back only, if possible.  There may
be holes in the logic as you pointed out, like if weather alerts
aren't coming in regularly, there may be both old and new alerts in
the same log file.  It should skip any log files that have an old
timestamp.


  

I've noticed some odd changes in wx alert behavior lately --- most notably,
while I *AM* configured to gate WX alerts from net to RF (because our local
Igate went down and there is now nobody else doing so in this region), Xastir 
NEVER gates them anymore, and it used to.



I don't igate, so haven't noticed that.  It's possible I or someone
else broke that quite a while back.  I don't think that part of the
code has been worked on in some months, but the Changelog should
say.
