I use a local repository as I have only 33kbps internet access (via a hfs conexant modem in my laptop)
The repo is dated as march of 2010.

73

[Ing. Pavel Milanes Costa (pavelmc)]

Crash persist only on local files updates with the ARRL TLE format.

Working fine with a network update on a more fast connection (1.5Mbps so much fast than my 33kbps)

Still working arround to find cause/solution.

73.

[Alexandru Csete (alexc)]

Hi,

What do you mean with "ARRL TLE format", is that the verbose format?
Gpredict requires the NASA 2-line format as distributed by Celestrak, see e.g. http://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/amateur.txt

Alex

[Ing. Pavel Milanes Costa (pavelmc)]

As I said in the last post only happen with the ARRL TLE update,

the TLE file is attached (whith headers striped)

73, last nigth I updated online my ubuntu distro, and the crash persist.

Last night I updated my ubuntu over the Internet thanks to a friend, the crash persist, with the arrl updated (TLE via email as the ARRL dx bulleting, etc..)

I have downloaded the file http://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/amateur.txt and try to update locally but gpredict crash anyway.

the network update is working fine.

73

[Ing. Pavel Milanes Costa (pavelmc)]

The celestrak file has the same format than the ARRL TLE.

Has anyone reproduced the crash or is only me?

[Alexandru Csete (alexc)]

Hi Pavel,

There have been some patches applied to the TLE updater in Gpredict since the 1.1 release and some of them were indeed related to crashes when updating from local files. It could be one of those you encounter.

Alex

[Ing. Pavel Milanes Costa (pavelmc)]

ok, i will try to find the mainstream for gpredict and tell about the bug and wait for the fix

73

[Ing. Pavel Milanes Costa (pavelmc)]

he he he he.. searching I see that the mainstream of gpredict is related to Alex Csete, so it's all up to you.

[Alexandru Csete (alexc)]

Indeed I am :)
I believe this problem to be fixed in the upstream code base but it is not available in any official release yet. When I make a new release it will be available in my PPA until the official Ubuntu package gets updated.

If you have a slow Internet connection, you can speed up the network update process by discarding the satellites you do not need. You can edit which files to download at Edit -> Preferences -> TLE Update -> Files to fetch.

Alex

[Ing. Pavel Milanes Costa (pavelmc)]

Ok, many thanks for the ppa and no needed satellites tip, I will do it
right now.

73.

Hello again...

In the past days i have been playing around with gpredict about this crash (gpredict 1.1-5ubuntu1) and i have tested and proved the following...

1- When I update from local files with only one file some times it work and some it crashes..
2- Some times with a few files it works and some times it not...

With all the files provided in the default url as local files it definitely crashes...

So It may be some related to the number of files or the size of the "buffer" for the actualization, maybe with the number of files, etc.

Just thinking, I hope this info will have some use for fixing this issue.

73.

[Jaap (hyverist)]

hi,

upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10, and the TLE-update-problem seems solved.

73, Jaap, PA2F.

[Ing. Pavel Milanes Costa (pavelmc)]

Yes, but but not an option for me at this moment.

I only have a phone line with 33 kbps hi!

The Gpredict team's PPA has been updated with version 1.2, which hopefully fixes this bug.

Pavel,

Thanks for the feedback. I changed the bug status to "Fix Released" and it will be closed when version 1.2 will be available in the distribution (probably not before next Ubuntu)
