Hello,

I'm trying to install librepilot under Linux Debian, but this is not working, I tried to add the repository as documented on the following page : https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LPDOC/Downloads

but I got the following error :

Am I making something wrong ? Can you help me solve this probably simple problem ?

Many thanks in advance for help :-)

ppa is only involved for ubuntu OS, and not yet updated as mentioned in download page.

Using Debian, only the Stretch and above can be supported.
I made build yesterday for stretch, try between this two builds:
https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/4128780/librepilot_16.09-0stretch1_amd64.deb
or
https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/4128780/librepilot_16.09-0stretch1_i386.deb

The amd64 works but you can expect crashes because use qt-5.7.1, so just a experimental build.
i386 build looks working fine with supported qt5.6.1

Hello,

Many thanks for your answer, I was thinking that I could install the Ubuntu version on Debian as Ubuntu is based on Debian... I was probably a bit naive on that point :-).

I tried to install the package you linked me, but I got a segfault doing so, below the log when I launch it in a console :

klarix@xiralk:~$ librepilot-gcs

Also I tried to install the deb package for Ubuntu which is provided on the Librepilot website, but I miserably failed to find a working repository for all qt56xxxx packages :-(. Is this a common library ? I got like less than 2 results pages in google when searching for qt56base repository, and almost all were referencing the same repository (ppa:beineri/opt-qt562-trusty), but when adding that repository, I encounter a 404 .

E: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/beineri/opt-qt562-trusty/ubuntu/dists/zesty/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Thanks a lot again for the help, and sorry for my noob questions ,

You cannot install Ubuntu package under Debian.
Ubuntu is based on Debian but they diverged since some time.

Try installing additional packages:

Code: [Select]

apt-get install  openscenegraph openscenegraph-plugin-osgearth
and maybe others

Code: [Select]

apt-get install qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qtquick-xmllistmodel qml-module-qtquick-localstorage qml-module-qtquick-particles2 qml-module-qtquick-window2 qml-module-qtquick2

Hey,

"You're just too good to be true" ;-) !

It worked after the first line, at least it's launching, I'll try out tomorrow to setup a CC3D with it, thanks a lot really for the help, you made my day :-) !

PS: Is there any 'official' Debian version foreseen ? Are you interested in getting feedback from problem I could encounter while using the app ?

Currently the release was designed using qt-5.6.1 and the Debian Stretch hosts the qt-5.7.1
Know Debian issue you can reproduce is open the About window and close. After this it may crash.

Thank you! Why are those *.deb packages not posted here?

https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LPDOC/Downloads

Would be a great help for just getting the GCS .....

[f5soh]

Simply because i just build manually the package for Klarix and as reported in previous messages the amd64-stretch is not stable.

[kalle123]

... stretch is not stable.

But just around the corner. Rc2 is out, full freeze announced for this coming weekend.

Tried to build GCS myself, worked somehow, but I missed an instruction, how to generate a deb package.

Much more convenient.


Thank you anyway ....

I'm not talking about the "strech" distro but GCS under Stretch not stable.

All needed for local build is described here, same for package:

I am a GNU/Linux Debian user since 1998, and in my opinion both sid and testing (aka stretch) are changing so fast that I wouldn't ever bet package older than 1 month to be compatible. It may, or may not. Personally I prefer to build from source (make package) or use built binary from directory. Just make sure to checkout tag rel-16.09 from git, as next might be work in progress with unknown issues.
Ubuntu is not compatible with Debian and if stuff works, then you're very lucky, but in general you should not mix packages from different distributions. Ubuntu Trusty is LTS (long term support) release, so it's nothing like suddenly they will bump library version breaking lots of dependencies.

That makes sense.

My desktop at the moment is PCLinuxOS (no chance there with LibrePilot) and have in a vbox arch and DEBIAN stretch.
But as PCLos is aiming to KDE5 and I am NOT going with that, I'll be back with DEBIAN, when stretch is out. Was on DEBIAN before (Wheezy and Jessie).

Might need a hand, when it comes to build the *.deb package. With the command, I posted, managed to get an executable inside that ~/code/librepilot folder for the GCS. But reset the vbox guest after that experiment. At the moment using that deb package from here.

[kalle123]

One issue I found in this how-to for DEBIAN stretch

https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LPDOC/Linux+-+Building+and+Packaging

At that point, I get an error

The package "curl" has to be installed!

[f5soh]

That not really a issue as long the output tell you the curl command is missing.

curl: Kommando nicht gefunden

Thank you, that was my aim.
