Ubuntu FG2020.3.1 color fail

Postby SurferTim » Tue Nov 10, 2020 9:42 am

I tried the new install release for FG2020.3.1 from Ubuntu 18.04. It has the same problem I had with the compiled version over a year ago. Here is that thread.

Fortunately, my compiled version 2019.2.0 is still working fine.
Just FYI...

2020.3.3 has same problem. And another one new - zoom with mouse wheel doesn't work.

I upgraded 2020.2.1 to 2020.3.1 from PPA, but FG did not start anymore, complained on some missing OSG libraries. Then I used old good D/C script and builded 2020.3.3. This version works fine, except bad OSGTEXT colors and mousewheel zoom problem.

I'm seeing the same problem with 2020.3.1 from Ubuntu repository as I had with the 2019.2.0 compile version a while back. Here is the thread, and what solved it for me.

That version not available from the Ubuntu repo.
I'll probably have to build a version from scratch like I did for 2019.2.0.
Just letting the forum know you're gonna have color problems with the new Ubuntu release.
It appears it is the osg part again.

This was the build version fix then
Code: Select all
REPO_ADDRESS[OSG]="github.com/openscenegraph/osg.git"
becomes
REPO_ADDRESS[OSG]="github.com/zakalawe/osg.git"

_gitUpdate OpenSceneGraph-3.4
becomes
_gitUpdate fgfs-342-1


Edit: I now have a compiled version of 2020.3.3, but I had to edit the download_and_compile.sh file again. One change is different.
I'll fly it tomorrow if I get a chance and post the changes.

The changed code should compile with any recent version of Ubuntu or Debian based OS. I use Ubuntu 18.04.
Here is the fix in the "Compiling" section of the forum.
