FG 2018.1.1 and Ubuntu 14.04

[V12]

I installed this version and there is not build-in launcher. Where is error ?

[Thorsten]

Since FG doesn't offer a Linux binary for installation, it'd depend on whether the provider of your binary has compiled FG with Qt or not - the launcher is optional.

[V12]

I used this PPA repository - https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+arc ... flightgear
OS : 64bit LUbuntu 14.04

[FlugHund]

IIRC 14.04 ships with an old version of Qt5 and hence the launcher is not supported there anymore.

Hmm, is there some way how revert to 2017.3.1 ?

From source? Certainly. Just check out the corresponding branch/tag of the SimGear and FlightGear source and build away.
If you use download&compile I think you can tell it which version you want to build (but as I don't use it I can't tell for sure).

[saiarcot895]

The PPA should be fixed now. Can you try updating and upgrading/installing?

Correction: It's not yet available for Trusty.

I reinstalled laptop from Lubuntu 14.04 to 17.10.1. Launcher is here, but another problem - tab Aircraft is total blank. I can't select UFO, or manual downloaded Concorde from my git. When I entered --aircraft=Concorde and click on Fly, FG launcher ignored aircraft selection and used default C172P. Other preferences works flawless. I again started launcher and from menu displayed command-line. Aircraft selection command --aircraft=... was here, but twice - first c172p, then Concorde. Something is wrong in the launcher for 17.10.1. I will test it for 17.04 and will report.

I've got the same problem too. I'm using Xubuntu 16.04 and I just upgraded FlightGear to 2018.1.1 from the PPA. When I click "Aircraft" in the launcher, nothing comes up.

I've tried running the program from the terminal with ~$ fgfs and then trying "Aircraft Centre" but it just immediately crashes.

[V12]

Lubuntu 18.04, FG2018.1.1 from PPA - same problem - tab Aircraft is blank.
Aircraft center doesn't help, that tab is blank too.

When I used fgfs --launcher in the console, I found message qrc:///qml/AircraftList.qml:1:1 module QtQuick is not installed
IMHO, this is root cause of the problem. What now ?

[V12]

I found solution for LUbuntu 17.10.1 and 18.04-daily. I manualy installed qtdeclarative5-qtquick2-plugin and qml-module-qtquick-window2 via sudo apt-get install command. Now, aircraft tab works !

[gabrielftg]

The same problem happens on Debian unstable (sid)...
I installed the following packages and it fixed it:

Code: Select all

apt install install qml-module-qtquick2 qml-module-qtquick-window2

[V12]

Lubuntu 18.04 LTS (final release) needs install qtdeclarative5-qtquick2-plugin and qml-module-qtquick-window2 too.

Yesterday i opened a bug report in Debian to update dependecies.

[Clemtaur]

Installing these dependencies is still needed as of Sept 15th 2018 for mint 19 'Tara Cinnamon'.. I'm surprised as it's based off of Ubuntu..
