Hi,
I'm new to the list, but older than dirty to APRS... ;-) I helped
Steve, KA5MVA with the HamHUD software maintenance for several years,
giving him a break for a while. I like to tinker - some would say
I'm not very radio-active - that's true, in that I don't do much
voice comms. Digital is more to my liking. That's one reason why I
program for a living.
Now, on to my problem:
I first installed the VMware xastir version, but had problems with
inconsistent map drawing (no maps would be a more accurate
description). I'm pretty sure it has to do with DNS issues and NAT.
I can open a browser and about every fifth time or so, I can manage
to get a web page to not gripe about not finding the server in VMware.
Because my desktop also has a dual-boot to Ubuntu 7.10, I decided to
install Xastir on it. I followed the excellent instructions through
the minimalist install to the typical install. It seems that all
went well. I can bring up Xastir OK, and the maps work correctly,
and superbly, I might add.
However, when I set up my station default values, I can't seem to set
the primary symbol to a house - it defaults to the secondary symbol
of a tornado. Now, some may say that is appropriate once they see my
shop! hi hi. I did not have this problem when in the VMware version.
What have I done wrong to cause the symbol setting to not work?
