Hi
I have to install the new version on a linux pc and wonder if I should delete the previous version 15.9 or both can coexist.
Thank you in advance

If you install the 16.09 release from a Linux package, the previous version will be replaced.

Yes I install from linux package. The previous version will be automatically replaced?

I think like others packages in your system, when you do a update

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install librepilot

Even if it says unpacking 1609 over 1509 didn't we make it so that you still have both some time ago?

No, that would break the packaging and package repositories.

Only developers running from build directories can have multiple versions.

[TheOtherCliff]

But I've always been able to do that.  I just move my build directory off to a save directory...

So what is it that changed?

Nothing changed, as I said developers can run multiple versions.  Renaming the build directory or building in a different directory allows that.  I normally have one git clone that's a clean copy of the master LP repo and one that's a copy of my fork, it works fine.

For an end user like the OP installing from the binary package it automatically installs the new version over the old one.

Its just that I recall that there was some work done in early 2016 to allow multiple versions to exist on the same machine.  Maybe it was not completed / merged.

I installed the new version which replaced the 15.09. I did notice that the pfd is not displayed and also the model view is not seen. how do I fix?

[f5soh]

Reset the config.

File > GCS Settings Import/Export and click the reset config button

you can also start the Gcs using 'librepilot-gcs -reset'

[startrek66]

Fixed. Thanks
