0.2.92-1~hardy1 from PPA repository does not work
Hello, it's me again.
I've put my hands on a GT-200e, and was trying it with igotu2gpx.
I've installed the new version (0.2.92-1~hardy) via the PPA repository, but the GUI won't launch.
Here is the error:
-------
luca@desktop:~$ igotugui
QFSFileEngine:
Cannot open file '', because: No file name specified
cannot open "" for reading
fstat error
mmap error for input
Segmentation fault
-------end--------
Also, the command igotu2gpx --version gives:
-------
Igotu2gpx 0.2.91
Downloads tracks and waypoints from MobileAction i-gotU USB GPS travel loggers.

I expected to see 0.2.92, or was I expecting wrong?
Thanks

I think there is something else wrong. I checked the hardy package, it has the correct version identifier. Maybe you are using the wrong executable from /usr/local/bin or ~/bin? Can you do 'which igotu2gpx'? The segmentation fault is weird, but maybe it is related to the wrong version.

I uninstalled the previous version (compiled from source) with 'sudo make uninstall' before installing the version from the repository, therefore there shouldn't be a problem with wrong executables...
To be sure, I've also purged the package and reinstalled.
This is the situation now:
'which igotu2gpx' outputs: /usr/bin/igotu2gpx
'igotu2gpx --version' outputs: Igotu2gpx 0.2.92 (this is now correct)
'igotugui' still outputs:
QFSFileEngine:
Cannot open file '', because: No file name specified
cannot open "" for reading
fstat error
mmap error for input
Segmentation fault

Ok, this solved part of the problem. Could you delete /usr/lib/

Ok, I deleted the file and launched igotugui. It now launches, although it won't recognize the GT200e (error -1).
I tried turning it on before plugging the device, and this time I got really scared because I got a protocol error, and when I unplugged the device it wouldn't respond to any press of the button (no red led, no blue led, no blinking, nothing).
I had to reset it with @tripPC and now it works again...

Ok, so the problem seems to be caused by a problem with the marble installation (which is used to display openstreetmap). Could you post the output of "dpkg -l '*marble*'"?
Most of the connection errors are just this: connection errors. The program expects a certain response format when it sends commands, and complains if sth. unexpected (no/wrong response) happens. This is mostly caused by the USB connection stuff, which is more or less stable depending on the hardware, USB hubs inbetween etc.
As far as I know is @tripPC not doing anything different, although their USB support seems a bit more stable.
If you feel brave and while trying again you have the same problem, try to see whether just plugging/unplugging the tracker would bring it back to life (it always works for me, but I also only have one GT120 and one laptop+PC, so that's not very representative).
I amended https:/
All trackers respond to the same wire protocol, so the GT200e shouldn't be any different from the other trackers.

Oh, and thanks to the kind support of Eric Lu from MobileAction, I should get a GT200e next week, so I hope I will be able to sort out any issues that might exist.

Hi Michael,
here is the output requested:
luca@desktop:~$ dpkg -l '*marble*'
Desired=

Regarding the plugging/
I've just tried again and everything worked. I guess connection problems just come and go...
Michael Hofmann (mh21) said : | #8 |
Heh thanks. That is actually a packaging bug on Hardy and it will be fixed in the next release candidate. If you want a map to see the waypoints, reinstall igotu2gpx so that you get a libmarblevisual
Sciamano (sciamano72) said : | #9 |
Thanks for the reply, Michael.
I currently don't need to see the waypoints on an openstreetmap, so no problem with that.
I will patiently wait for the next RC. :-)
