run problem 19.1.0 in Ubuntu(64)

Postby dilbert » Thu Jul 28, 2022 6:03 pm

Problem just happened. Don't know why.
When I run get message "Can't cd to install/flightgear/bin
However, when Iook in dnc-managed/flightgear/install/flightgear/bin, bin is there.
Any help would be appreciated.

Let me guess: You installed FlightGear using download_and_compile.sh, then ran run_fgfs.sh - which gave the aforementioned error?

Does dnc-managed/install/flightgear/bin/ exist?

Are you running a copy of or a symlink to run_fgfs.sh?
There are free alternatives to (almost) every program you encounter. You just have to find them.

No, it was an old installation-2019. I think I mistakenly uninstalled and restored the flightgear.ini and screwed things up. Which was dumb.

In Recent about that time of day I see: registryx86_64bin .cash/gstreamer-1.0

I may have tried to run before flightgear.ini file was restored, thereby creating a registry problem.

Does dnc-managed/install/flightgear/bin/ exist?

Yes, but the directory structure is different: dnc-managed/flightgear/install/flightgear/bin .

/bin is complete.

It looks like copying /install/flightgear/bin up to /dnc-managed/ might work, but I'm hesitant, having already been burned messing.

Speculate directory structure could have been related to a 32 versus 64 bit installation. In which case, some form of path restoration would be the correct
approach, instead.

Over my head at that point.


Hope /bin being present may somehow enable recovery, as this is an old flightgear installation and old Ubuntu version, making redownloading problematical.

no

Aah made a separate directory: /flightgearnew
copied fgmeta and dnc-managed to it.
copied /install up from /dnc-managed/flightgear to /dnc-managed in /flightgear new and ran.

It worked. So I deleted the surplus directory in flightgearnew and the original flightgear app directory, and renamed /flightgearnew to /flightgear.

Now, everything runs correctly : Launcher working correctly, back at home base, custom planes and scenery working. :D

Think I'm out of the forest. Thanks again for the help. The absence of /install from dnc-managed was the clue.

Kind Regards
