APM Mission Planner issues when run on Linux using Mono #530

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Tested on Ubuntu 11.10 - installed mono with extras:

sudo apt-get install mono-runtime libmono2.0-cil libmono-winforms2.0-cil 
mesa-common-dev mesa-utils

1.- "update found" appears on every run - how is version detected - some funny 
business ? - even if I click "yes" to update each time - it will not download 
updates more than once when there actually is an update, just check files-)

2.- not all tabs in the setup window can actually close the window - fooling 
around with the tabs let me close the window with the last tab selected.

3.- "disconnect" button does not work.  When connected - "disconnect" does 
nothing, nor does it change back into "connect"  (connected to /dev/ttyUSBx)

Everything else, maps, flight data, setting and reading config seems to work 
fine.

Crossposting from DIYDrones forum:

4. Code assumes "\" as path separator (at least inside the Updater) which 
results in "foo\bar\baz" folders created on disk (instead of "foo/" containing 
"bar/" containing "baz/").

5. Joystick code uses Microsoft DirectInput native-code assembly. This cannot 
be executed by Mono (on either Mac or Linux) and poses legal problems since 
it's part of the DirectX redistributable.

6. OpenTK used for graphics hard-defaults to Mesa's OpenGL ES on Linux, which 
is not always available. Defaulting to plain Mesa OpenGL would make it a lot 
more robust and portable.

regarding 5&6  - wouldn't it be easier to drop .NOT and use Qt ?

QGroundcontrol is available if you want a Python and QT GCS.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
yes, tried it - not sure whatever qgroundcontrol is as "polished" and complete 
as Mission Planner.

andre.kj> I believe Mission Planner's code is cool enough and the changes 
needed to make it more portable are small enough to warrant the effort, which 
is why I proposed making small changes to the existing codebase instead of 
displaying a "throw it out and do it again" attitude :-)

ok :) - it just sounds sweet to really go multiplatform - not to mention being 
able to compile it for Android as well.

i think ive addressed some issue 
1. being .EXE vs .exe
3. fixed, was a "speech" library issue (which needs linux equiv posibly 
"festival")
4. fixed.

Meee...   damn you are good ! 
7 - when using UDP/TCP - it seems the "connecting" window appears before the 
window that asks for port number - also , cosmetic: th OK button on these 
windows is unreadable/and/or influenced by the default (not set?) colors.

Thanks for making it easier/better to use Mono.

8- close button (on window) seldom works - (nothing happens).  - switching to 
"terminal" tab, makes the close button close the application properly.

regarding #1 - *if* 1.1.45 was supposed to fix it - it did not work.

what is your main exe filename? including case for 1?

Original comment by Meee...@gmail.com on 2 Mar 2012 at 5:56

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
also what version of mono are you using? the window order issue seems very mono 
version related.

Using "Mono JIT compiler version 2.10.5 (Debian 2.10.5-1)"

Filename is "ArdupilotMegaPlanner.exe"

I can confirm that 4. is fixed now, no more funny-named folders and the Updater 
overwrites the right files :-) Thanks!

New bug with Planner on Mono caused by the 1.1.73 update: Upper right corner 
spacing all messed up. Were new fields added?

mmartinm> Joystick functionality doesn't currently work on anything but the 
native .NET (and Windows) because they are using native libraries (the .NET 
analogue to Java's JNI) to talk to DirectX's DirectInput. See bullet (5) 
comment #1 above.
