Re: Fine Offset + Linux Mint & Ubuntu Derivatives

2021 EDIT: This may no longer be needed for most modern GNU/Linux versions. Ubuntu 20.04 versions work without doing this... It works there! I figured Cumulus MX would have to have some sort of built-in support for doing that. See steve, you are a Linux programmer, lol! OK everyone who has read to ...

Re: Fine Offset + Linux Mint

Having the link file in the /lib folder is not wise according to these warnings. Having it in a program's folder appears to be fine as long as the program supports having it there like Chrome did.

Re: Fine Offset + Linux Mint

I understand perfectly well that there is an issue. Please tell me what I can do about it. I do not use the Chrome web browser, but from what I have read it had a similar issue wanting libudev.so.0 when the system instead used libudev.so.1. I think the fix was Chrome updated its installer to look f...

Re: Fine Offset + Linux Mint

There isn't anything ass-backwards about the XP argument. What is going to happen when Ubuntu 12.04 LTS loses its support in a couple of years? It and libudev.so.0 will be as dead as Windows XP and Julius Caesar. And it is not just Ubuntu. Fedora is not even doing libudev.so.0 either. I tested that ...

Re: Fine Offset + Linux Mint

Making a link called libudev.so.0 is essentially changing a 1 to a 0. The actual file, libudev.so.1.3.5, works fine with the library. But the idea of silent data corruption is worrisome.

Re: Fine Offset + Ubuntu (And Derivatives)

Read what I wrote. The cross-platform USB HID library used by MX uses it. Not my code. Wouldn't it be better if Ubuntu didn't screw developers by stopping providing a library which is used by lots of existing code, instead forcing them to modify their code? I did read what you wrote and I suppose s...

Re: Fine Offset + Ubuntu (And Derivatives)

The cross-platform USB HID library used by MX uses it. I've been sitting here reading different Linux forums about this and they mostly say linking is fine as, if problems do occur, the link can be deleted. Not trying to sound mean or anything, but wouldn't it be better if Cumulus MX supported the ...

Re: Fine Offset + Ubuntu (And Derivatives)

In Ubuntu and it's derivatives for 14.04 Trusty Tahr, in both /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and /lib/i386-linux-gnu there is a link file called libudev.so.1 which links to libudev.so.1.3.5 . I decided the hell with it and made another link file in both locations called libudev.so.0 by right-clicking on lib...

3024 Is Working Pretty Good

I have not had one issue at all with 3024. The only thing I am missing is the total daily rain adjustment which I know will be in a future version. As they say in the UK, "Good show!" Thanks again Steve.

Re: Issue With Daylight Hours When Using AM/PM

I had that because I carried over an 'hh:mm' format in the daylightlength tag from my C1 PHP tag files, it needs to change to 'HH:mm' for Cumulus MX. That was the issue. Thanks. I overlooked changing those values from lowercase h to uppercase H. For times here in the USA, I use format="H:mm tt...

Issue With Daylight Hours When Using AM/PM

I just noticed on my main page that the sun will rise at 6:11 AM and set at 7:58 PM giving 1:47 of Daylight Hours. I am sure this is because I use AM/PM on my website (being in USA) instead of 24-hour time. Anyway around this while retaining AM/PM?
