Change location of maps to SD card

[ghost]

Hi! bq 4.5, r23, I cannot change the location to the SD card.

I have the version from Open Store, so it should work.

But when I click on the string to change the "Default download directory" absolutely nothing happens :( :(

Ok, that's funny. Could you remove the ~/.config/osmscout.fransschreuder/* files and try again?

[ghost]

I tried right now, then I rebooted just to be sure and nothing changes.

[fransschreuder]

could you post the contents of ~/.cache/upstart/application-click-osmscout.fransschreuder_OSMScout_0.4.6.log?

Sure, here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11835426/

[fransschreuder]

have you first uninstalled the normal store version? Please uninstall, then reinstall, then refresh the icons by dragging the applications scope down. It looks like apparmor is not giving you the desired rights

[ghost]

Sure I did. Actually, it was working until when there was no choice (I have already downloaded many maps on the SD, that I would like not to loose) :)

I will try to remove and reinstall now, then I'll let you know.

Ok great, now it works! :)

But there is another problem, i.e. it only sees one installed map (ile_de_france) while many others are already there, downloaded through the previous version.

Some hint on how to make it recognize them?

[fransschreuder]

There seem to be more problems, it also can't get access to the mp3 files in the application directory

[fransschreuder]

if you take a file browser, are the files ile_de_france in the same folder as the others? or is ile_de_france in ~/.local/share/osmscout.fransschreuder

[ghost]

They are with the others. In that folder there is only an empty "Maps" folder.

I can't change a location to SD card too. The only available option is home directory which is located in internal flash memory. Symbolic links from application directory to SD card does not working too.

Do you have the version from the open store? If you have downloaded it from the Ubuntu Store, it's a known "feature" of the os.

I have the version from Ubuntu Store. What is the open store?

[fransschreuder]

Ok, so that's the problem. Apps in the Ubuntu store are not allowed to have SD card access, for some funny security reasons nobody understands. Also another important feature of a routing app is not allowed in the Ubuntu store, that is to keep the screen on while the app is focused. Both features are available in the version that can be found in the open store: https://open.uappexplorer.com/

Thanks! It works that way. I think we need apparmor profiles like "networking" for RW access to SD card.

Yes, I have sent a million messages to ubuntu people, they are thinking about a solution but things are advancing too slow to my taste
