| lardman | morning all | 22:03 |
|---|---|---|
| lardman | not maemo related, but I wonder if this is the best starting point - looking to run modrana on a RPi-based bike computer | 22:04 |
| lardman | seems that there are still github updates, but all the websites mentioning it are rather old | 22:04 |
| lardman | any thoughts? Thanks :) | 22:05 |
| sixwheeledbeast | lardman: github is the best place it should run fine if you have all the dependencies. Python/Qt | 22:11 |
| sixwheeledbeast | not sure if GPS will work if that's a concern. | 22:12 |
| lardman | @sixwheeledbeast, thanks - I was wondering about docs re adaptions for different platforms (or I could just read the code!) | 22:12 |
| lardman | not too worried about GPS, GPSD should handle that | 22:12 |
| sixwheeledbeast | It's just python i don't believe it needs building | 22:12 |
| lardman | I was also curious as to whether there's a new and improved version I've not spotted yet (I was led to modRana from wikipedia's Rana pages) | 22:13 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I have downloaded it and ran it on Ubuntu amd64 for example. Latest versions are on github | 22:13 |
| lardman | cool, thanks :) | 22:14 |
| sixwheeledbeast | git clone master and then python3 modrana.py should do it | 22:24 |
| lardman | thx - I have it running on the Pi (it defaults to a PC platform as expected), I was just curious that while github has updates I can't see where else it is used | 22:29 |
| lardman | it may be that sailfish devices are using it, I don't have a working one | 22:29 |
| lardman | just a weird disconnect between the updates and the apparent (via) Google users | 22:30 |
| * lardman tried to go back and edit that line - too much Teams use for work! | 22:30 | |
| sixwheeledbeast | I believe the dev has a Sailfish device so focused on that. There are other branches for the N900 version, it's being updated to keep up with supported Qt and Python versions where N900 is now outdated. | 22:41 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I can't seem to run it on Ubuntu any more apparently. | 22:42 |
| lardman | Thanks @sixwheeledbeast :) | 22:54 |
| sixwheeledbeast | lardman: np, it seems to detect and run a different version depending on the platform it detects. I can't get either to work I imagine i am missing some dependency somewhere. | 22:56 |
| lardman | I think I had all the deps and it ran, just not workable on the little LCD screen I have | 22:57 |
| lardman | I'll do some fiddling with the code and create an RPi "platform" file for it | 22:57 |
| * lardman realises that @ is not required, it has been nearly 10 years and I blame Teams for the bad habit! :) | 22:59 | |
| sixwheeledbeast | it seems the pc version needs gtk2 for pygtk and ubuntu is now gtk3? python3 will not run because it looks for some Sailfish module? | 22:59 |
| * lardman looks to see what the RPi requires | 23:00 | |
| lardman | it runs, and can't easily be killed, but no visible GUI# | 23:03 |
| lardman | default python on the RPi is 2.7 though | 23:04 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I have spoken to M4rtinK before. I am sure he would look over any pull request you have to get a detected Pi version working. Last time I ran it on PC was the old N900 version it's changed a lot since then, plus python and Qt have moved on | 23:04 |
| lardman | indeed, time flies. Thanks for your help, I'll do some hacking and try to get something "pullable" together :) | 23:07 |
