@flywisher, can you try now? You'll probably need to update the data packages as well.

saiarcot895, Synaptic updated its FlightGear 2018 file, all >1GB of it.

Now FG works flawlessly. I can get it to "see" the previously downloaded aircraft in my home area, and it loads and runs any of them successfully.

No more failures. Super.

Good work, saiarcot895! Thank you!

I've been running FG2018.1.1 for a week now. Today I ran the linux software updater and it did a large reinstall of FG. Now it won't start and displays the message "UNABLE TO OPEN TIME ZONE FILE `/usr/share/games/flightgear/timezone/zone.tab`. The TIMEZONE folder doesn't exist. That's frustrating, any suggestions?

Can you run "sudo apt reinstall flightgear-data-base"? That shouldn't download anything, as it would already be in your cache.

I had trouble with reinstalling and uninstalling flightgear, reason was very similar, non exists folders /usr/share/games/flightgear/timezone and /usr/share/games/flightgear/Fonts/LiberationFonts. Commands :
- sudo apt-get install -f
- sudo apt-get autoremove
- sudo apt-get remove flightgear
- sudo apt-get purge flightgear
did not worked till I manually created that folders, then sudo apt-get remove flightgear worked and I was able to install fg again.

BTW, FG2018.1.1 for Ubuntu 18.04 has bug probably in the OSG, there are bad colors for some texts. On this screenshot :

are white digits on Baro pressure and speed selector, should be dark orange. When I tested FG 2018.1.1 on the fresh installed Ubuntu 17.10.1, digits was orange, as I expected. Ofcourse, before first run I manually installed qtdeclarative5-qtquick2-plugin and qml-module-qtquick-window2 packages, without it aircraft tab was blank.

Running "sudo apt-get install --reinstall flightgear-data-base" worked and I can now load and run FG w/o any errors. Thank you for the help.

Linux Mint 17.3 Xfce

PPAs installed:

saiacot895/flightgear
saiacot895/flightgear-edge
saiacot895/flightgear (Sources)
saiacot895/flightgear-edge (sources)

Synaptic shows fgfs 2018.1.1 now available although other files appear as 3.0.0-1 :

Code: Select all
fgfs-base
fgfs-aircraft-base
fgfs-models-base
fgfs-scenery-base


I uninstalled current fgfs but when I tried to install 2018.1.1 got error:

flightgear:
Depends: flightgear-data-all (<1:2018.2.0~) but 1:2018.2.0~8484+gitcb413db4+dfsg-0ubuntu1~ppa1 is to be installed


It doesn't install due to broken packages which I've been unable to fix. If I uncheck the saiacot895 PPAs then Synaptic happily installs fgfs 3.0.0-1.

I take it that Saikrishna's remark applies?:

"The main 2018.1.1 package hasn't been compiled yet, and so the upgrade should have been blocked."

Try disable -edge PPA and install again.

All packages have now been compiled, so that no longer applies. The fgfs-* packages are the old names for the packages, and was changed to flightgear-data-* at least a year ago.

You also have both the regular PPA and the edge PPA enabled, which I don't recommend you do, since they'll have the same packages, but different versions. If you want to install the current stable release, disable the edge PPAs, and install flightgear (2018.1.1). If you need to explicitly remove the fgfs-* packages, which should then let the flightgear-data-* packages get installed.

OK have downloaded & installed, only reservation is that the opening page I had in 2017.3.1 with the launch options isn't there, I have to use fgrun, but the answer to the original problem was to remove the 'saiacot895/flightgear-edge' and 'saiacot895/flightgear-edge (sources)' PPAs . Many thanks.

Since you're on Ubuntu 14.04, the Qt version available in that version of Ubuntu isn't new enough for the launcher. Therefore, you'll have to use an external launcher there.

this is the reason why i use Qt from another PPA and build my own FG on ubuntu 14.04... currently running FG compiled against Qt 5.9... works great and doesn't interfere with system's Qt...
